Spring!!!
Is it just me, or is there someone else that thinks it's too hot for April? I mean really!! I shouldn't be wearing a tank and shorts until Memorial Day. Well a couple exciting things have happened as of late. The first is that I got the Spirit Award at school for winter quarter, which means I had 95-100% of attendance and a 4.0 GPA. I was so stoked when the student services director called my name for the award. :D And I think, still not 100% sure yet, that I'll be dancing in North Park on May 15th for their annual street fair. Very excited about that! First rehearsal is this Saturday for 1.5 hours in which we have to learn the whole dance in one rehearsal. Hopefully it wouldn't be to mind boggling and I can get it in one sitting. Oh I have to share this with you. In dance class on Wednesday we were doing sautes, a jump from 2 legs and landing on 2 legs, in first position, heels together and toes pointing out to the sides, all the way across the floor. Leah, a friend I've made there at San Diego Ballet and I went first and then the rest of the girls followed. Our teacher Javier stopped us before we could go across the floor again and walked out into the middle of the floor and stood with his hands on his hips looking at us and said in a very drawn out manner. "We are not doing this exercise in honor of Easter. You all look like you're imitating the Easter Bunny that visited your house on Sunday." All us dancers were cracking up laughing, it was very comical. And then he began to jump up and down and with each jump up he pushed his chest out and caving in his shoulders when he landed. We got the picture of what he didn't want us to do, but hey at least we all got a good laugh!!!

ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS on the award.
Bummer May 15 is right before my math final or I would come and watch you dance.
Bunnies!!!
How exciting! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteWhen I read that you'll be dancing in North Park in the street fair, I immediately pictured the scene in Enchanted when they're all dancing in the park. :)Although, you will probably be much more graceful.
Hope your rehearsal went well!
