One week until the first competition!! It seems like it is right around the corner, yet taking forever! The Dress Rehearsal last weekend went really well, (at least for most of the dances.) My sister and I are teacher assistants at our dance studio, so we were constantly up and down. We barely had time to change our costumes because we were helping the youngsters with their routines, etc. We were in charge of making sure that all dancers were present before they went on stage, checking their make-up, and making sure they were in full costume. If they weren’t in everything they were supposed to, Kara and I would have to report to our teachers. Let’s just say we let some things slide! I know we were bad, but why let little less important things punish the whole team, like for example if a girl didn’t have enough lipstick on. Kara or I would just quickly run to get more lipstick! It was crazy, but it is so much fun and everything worked out in the end! Not every studio is strict as mine, they just want things done their way and they don’t care what you have to say about it!
One of my favorite dances is called “I Keep Forgettin.” The song is from the Broadway musical, Smokey Joe’s Café. This dance is Kara and I’s musical theatre duet. It is a really fun number, and I love to dance right next to my sister. This may sound cheesy, but we have been dancing together for about 15 years. We might fight often, but that’s what sisters are for. I remember my mom begging us, bribing us to do a duet back when I was about 5. We just did not have a big interest in doing it, now especially my sis, (she secretly loves it!!)

One of my best friends in high school was huge into dance. All the girls were so close and they were like a family. that's really cool to have that! good luck at ur competition!
ReplyDeleteI would have never imagined that "not enough lipstick" would have been a cause for demerit. I suppose I rarely consider the "show" aspects of dance--those things that matter in making it into a production.
