It’s seriously weird and awkward to have your foot jammed into you physical therapist inner thigh as he pokes and prods your foot. So awkward.
9am woke up
Photo day!
So excited! Picture day picture day! Next week is my recital! Getting anxious and nervous.
Last Tuesday while we swapped young girls out for us in the studio I completely embarrassed all ballerinas the world over. I was an utter disgrace. We were going straight into pointe shoes so I had placed mine on and was warming up.
Sometimes the parents arrive a little late picking up their kids so they hang out and watch us or their attention wanders else where. I wasn’t paying attention because I was checking if I was capable to do pointe the entire class since my Achilles bruising. I felt confident I could dance the class in pointe shoes and turned away from the barre to look at myself in the mirror. I stood in second and attempted to role slowly all the way onto my platforms, lol(um, something I haven’t ever been able to do as of yet). I was chatting with my classmate and being silly and relaxed. I completely failed rolling up and was doubled over making strange faces in the mirror when Miss Debbie exclaimed to a girl peeking around the open door frame watching me “are you watching the pretty big girls?” I proceed to look directly at the door frame and see the poor girls shy amazement at my crap ballet technique and just cover my face and laugh! What a silly fool I am lol!
Someone is always watching lol.
I’m still finding it extremely hard to translate and execute dancing en pointe. SO HARD! For anyone who was interested in what it’s like to begin pointe… I of course lack a lot of muscle memory and have only been dancing since last summer- SO…
Picked up hair spray and new bobby pins, and now it’s raining on me- ugh
My teacher allowed us to wear our pointe shoes in our photos next week, hohohohoho! My dd package arrived. The bra works out and is fairly comfortable and works under both costumes. New tights, I buy two pairs for the price of one pair. This brand is like $6 and other tights are $11+ so it’s a good deal and I find them comfortable and the quality decent. The shoes I bought I’ll have to return they’re just too big- yikes!
I have to get ready for work soon, corporate visit.
I did a makeup class in pointe last night that killed! I shall tell thee more later!
