Auditions!

A couple of weeks ago our school had Dance Company auditions for next year. If any of you don't know I am on it this year. I tried out, and boy was it easier than last year. I definitely wasn't as nervous. Well, I made it! Now we have early morning practices an hour before school to learn a dance for the concert. Yahoo!

African Dance

On Saturday, some teachers from my dance studio and I went to Salt Lake to take an African class. We did the class because we are doing an African concert this spring. It's a little different but I'm excited. There is a lot of flailing and torso movement involved in that class. It was quite hard for us ballerinas to just let go like that because we're not used to doing that. It was a good experience though. My arms felt like they didn't want to be arms by the end. I could barely lift them up by the end!! Anyhow, it was a lot of fun! My arms, shoulders, neck, and back are all terribly sore now! Oh well!!
