| The Cherubs’ Recital Costume |
My busiest day of the week has sped right by, complete with the finding of the picture above! I will take a picture of the modern costume for you all on Thursday and continue to track down the Christmas Dance videos from last year.
Ballet this morning was great; I had a lot of fun! Miss Sara, like Bethany, is focusing much of her attention on our “Look at me!” (a.k.a. our “pizazz”) lately. Our smiles, the movement of our hands, the continuous motion– it all counts. Personally, I am really enjoying learning about performance. It is something that I truly admire in professional dancers.
Then, it was onto the cherubs’ class! Miss Holly is the main teacher at the time, as Miss Jennifer is off being married (Congratulations, Miss Jennifer!)! When Miss Holly excitedly told the girls that I had recovered from my illness and had returned to them, a little girl commented, “Oh, she gotted married?” I couldn’t help but laugh at the mix-up… haha!
The girls made a virtual mud puddle today to practice their leaps. “Don’t get any mud on your tutu!” Miss Holly told them. Of course, the puddle had to be made first. “Throw your ideas into the puddle!” said Miss Holly. Girls starting yelping, “Dirt!” “Leaves!” “Water!” which was quite amusing. Finally, our newest student said calmly, “Puppies and cookies.”
At the end of class, Miss Holly handed out sparkly, Tinkerbell stickers to the lil’ gals. No tears today– phew!
