Day 3...

So season started on Tuesday and my body is kindly reminding me why ballet is so unnatural for you...everything hurts!!! From soreness to bruises...I have both. The plan was to work on Alice for the first week before the show and Mambo & More the second week before the show, we're almost done with Alice so we can get onto the fun stuff next week :) We had a film crew at the studio today taped footage of our rehearsals. Apparently there's a new TV channel that's opening soon and it's about San Diego, so they wanted to film the local businesses (how you can pick local businesses out of San Diego is beyond me) in SD. On Sunday we have an official meet & greet with the patrons of the ballet at an art gallery in the NTC Promanade where we dance, so they can meet us and all that jazz. The picture below is of our meet & greet last Saturday at the bistro, a very casual fun time...it was nice :) Well I'm hitting the spa tonight so I can walk in the morning...see y'all soon!! :)

Some of the company :)

New Beginning

I'm sooo sorry that I haven't written here in forever, I've just forgotten about it...oops! So company season starts this Tuesday and I'm so stoked!! We have a lot of new girls this year and the same number of boys...so the boys are out numbered about 4 to 1. We have our photo shoot tomorrow for the San Diego Ballet website and then a physical to make sure we're all in dancing shape and not going to fall apart. Our first show is October 13 & 14, so we have 2 weeks to get back in shape and learn a new ballet...this should be fun, but it's our job and I wouldn't trade it for anything! The girl who's been in the  company the longest threw a meet & greet for the dancers so we could get to know each other before we started spending every waking moment in each others company, which was a good idea. Last year I was the only trainee, now there's like 6. And last year I was the only one under 21, now there's like 4 or 5 people under 21...so that's nice because we'll do more social events at places that can accommodate minors and not just legal drinkers. I really hope this season will be a good one, we have a lot lined up to perform so if anyone is interested just keep an eye on sandiegoballet.org for tickets and events :) Happy season!!http://www.sandiegoballet.org/
