Today was Nutcracker demo day. That's my cast up above. We went to a children's receiving home and a hospital and did the dance from the party scene. I really liked making all those children happy and I loved dancing in costumes! Especially hoop skirts!!!!!
Afterwards M and I went to Starbucks and had hot chocolate! All in all we did the party dance five times. That night was ballet and modern class. What a perfect dance day!
Here I am stretching for going back to dance. I don't yet have photos of myself in my class room but will be posting some soon. This is our second week at dance class. On Tuesday I have ballet and modern, Wed. is ballet, Fri. is ballet and rehearsal class. Rehearsal is rehearsing for upcoming shows. We are now practicing for a dance called 'Slumber Party'. I'll be posting soon, bye!
I really enjoyed summer intensive. We had our teacher Mr. C teaching our class for both weeks except one day! We did barre exercises, center work, leaping from corner to corner, and at the end ''stretching and strengthening''. Stretching through the summer break pays off when you slide into the splits and realize you are one off the three or four people who can go all the way down, so keep stretching!!! We had two hours of ballet every day except Saturday and Sunday. Bliss! I was sad when it ended and I look forward to Fall.

I'm sorry for not posting in awhile but I've been busy, busy with MINIATURES!! I have been trying to finish most of my doll house in time [which I don't think will happen] for the arrival of my new doll house!!!! It's a small two story two room house which is going to be turned into a Bakery!!! Mr. and Mrs. Blue Jay [above] are the doll house family. They have a little girl named Lydia and a baby named Charles. Do you like the photos they have in their living room?
We have made [for them]: bolts of fabric, knitting needles in a basket of yarn, cake mix boxes and flour boxes, newspapers, an apron, cookies, pies, perfume bottle [out of beads], donuts, and fruit.
We looked at everything and Mom and Dad even bought an American Girl mystery book and a movie called ''Chrissa Stands Strong'' for me!
We visited Bitty Baby.
Kit liked this part the best! I did too.
I also liked Kirsten's area.
I know, I know, I'm totally serious looking, but I was thinking of my friend Anna who lives in Louisiana and I've not seen her in three years and I miss her. She has Kirsten.
But I still loved looking at the other dolls!
This is the book store, A WONDERFUL PLACE!! I loved hanging out here.
We checked out the choosing dolls too.
And ,well of course, how could we forget the doll hair salon?
The Twenty Sixth is our June recital!!! And this is my costume [up above] which I get to keep! I'm very exited! This is my first performance at my dance school. Everybody has a partner and we all have the same kind of dress. We even have a flower clip to put in our bun.
I Love Ballet
