Beginning Ballet

Our first ballet class brought back some memories from when I was a kid. I took ballet for two years as a toddler, and I had absolutely no respect for it. Now, after taking a mature and more complex ballet class, I understand why it is referred to as such a complex skill. I think we have begun to learn basic ballet to give each of us a basic framework of dance and dance technique. By (re)learning these dance techniques I will build my endurance, technique, ability, and patience as a dancer.

Arts in the Park!!

Arts in the Park Reflection

I am looking forward to the Arts in the Park Performance very much! I can't wait to hear from my friends and family what they thought of our performance. I am concerned about a few things however. I am concerned that I will mess up my diabolo tricks, forget a dance move or a lyric, or be inaudible to the audience. I have had sooo much fun during rehearsals. Learning the dances and the songs and then practicing them, although tiring at times, was very exhilarating. In addition, I got to spend quality time really getting to know my peers.
