During this OBT summer course we have to learn 3 different dances. And 2 of them will actually be in the showcase. (I think only one but idk) During the one that I know for sure! It's called Repertoire. I call it Rep. It's a piece from Giselle. I really like it. I am one of the many Wine Gatherers. The dance is really fast and SUPER DUPER fun.
The other dance that we have to learn is our Variations dance. Our teacher didn't say what ballet it's from, she just said that it's a cute little piece from the Russian ballet. (we're not doing this one on stage) At first I thought that I would hate it all 6 weeks. Because I didn't get it right away and I didn't really understand most of the steps. But as we went on, I got it perfectly. And I can't wait till out next Variations class.
Our LAST dance is in our Hip Hop routine. We dance to a song called, "Where have you been" By Rhianna. It was either that or some weird derpy song.
What makes this dance REALLY, REALLY, REALLY...... Fun. Is that we get to do Double Dream Hands! It's some weird dance that the Skittles learned on Youtube. It's a weird punch,punch across, shoulder, chin, shoulder shoulder shoulder, pat, pat, DOUBLE DREAM HANDS! (Just look it up....)
The dance is really fun, challenging, and AWESHUM!
Well I'll be posting later.... I'm doing that 11 day sleepover still! Gotta go!
Buh-bye!

Cholking on a pea
At OBT summer intensive all of the Skittles are going together. We usually stick together as our own little group.
We have 30 to 45 minutes of a lunch break between classes. One of those days we were all eating our lunches when I told them a funny joke. We all laughed very hard. Then one of the Skittles started cholking. "Are you cholking on your own spit?" I said. Then she said, "No, I'm cholking on pea!" We all bursted out laughing! She said "No!!! Not that kind of pea!" She pointed at her box of peas.
That one I will never let her forget. Or the other Skittles. Can't wait till we go back to PNB!!!!

Coppelia is over! :'(
Yesterday was my last time doing Coppelia. :'( I was really sad taking off my costume, but maybe when I'm in the company I can be the actual ballerina. Not a baby ballerina.
I do about the same things every time I walk in the Dress Hall. I run upstairs, find a chair, throw my stuff under it and run to the makeup line. After I get all of my makeup on my friends and I play card games. Usually Egyptian Rats. (It has nothing to do with Egyptian Rats) And yesterday I learned how to play a new game! It's called Baloney Sandwich! (Also has nothing to do with Baloney Sandwiches)
During Don Q Grace Kiana and I would play Egyptian Rats so much that we made names for each other. Kiana was Ninja because she could slap a card so fast that we haven't even put it down yet! Grace was Slow Poke because she would always zone out or not pay any attention to the game. And I was bunny. Because we had to curl our hair for Don Q, and my hair would never be right. So I would always have 2 curlers on top of my head. And I looked like a bunny.
And now that Ella (another Skittle) is with us, she had to have a name! We all wanted it to be Slug. But she changed it to the Golden Dragon. I called her the Rusty Golden Dragon because she was very slow at the game, but eventually she got a little faster.
Kiana and I were always the last 2 people, and once we played it the entire time we waited. 2 acts! And two acts was over an hour long! Then we got our costumes on and played for a little bit longer. Kiana won in the end. But it was still worth playing for an hour and a half.
Buh-bye!

11 day sleepover
The friend that I'm having the 11 day sleepover is with Rachel. Her mom goes on a lot of business trips. So she has to plan really early just so she knows what she can do.
Her mom is going on a business trip, and her mom asked my mom if she could stay with us for 11 days! And she said, yes! But theres 2 bad parts... 1. It's in JULY....2. I have ballet 5 days a week! From like 10:30 in the morning to 2:00 in the afternoon! That's 3 and a half hours of dance everyday! And I still have to do summer school because we started late in the year. And I was done with my last books at the beginning of May.
But Ethan and I have already started planning what we're going to do. Ethan wanted to play videogames for like a week straight. But also it's in the middle of summer so we have to go outside in the sprinkler, on the trampoline.... And stuffs.
Well, I gotta go.
Bye!

Coppelia
I haven't posted in like a month. So I'm just gonna talk about Coppelia and whats been going on and stuffs. Yesterday was our first on stage rehearsal. And the entire 3rd act set was up. there were columns, bells, flowers that looked like grapes, and really sparkly pillows that the villagers sit on.
What really bugged my was that on the sides there are usually giant curtains or something that covers most of the wing. But now those curtain thingies are like see through because it's mostly flowers on it. We would usually run out on count 3. But because of the see through thingies we have to start so far back that we have to run on the count 1.
Dress rehearsal is today! So that means we get to wear out TUTU'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are SOOOOOOO pretty! They are pink with little gold lacy thingies. And we have little arm tutu's that look like the same thing. And we wear AWESOME tiaras. They are gold and they have small pink flowers with little crystals falling from it. But the only bad thing about it is that we don't wear anything underneath out tutu's. And we had our fitting with a leotard on! I think that they're all going to be a little big.
I'm really sad about the casting decision. There are 48 girls in my part. 24 in each cast. The Skittles were hoping and praying that we were all in the same cast. Or at least 2 and 2. But instead it was 1 and 3. I was so sad. Grace is in cast A. And Ella, Kiana, and I are in cast B. Grace and I usually carpool as well. But not for this show. So I might carpool with another girl in my cast, Rowan.
Well, I have to get ready to go to rehearsal. So I'll post in another month or so!

Today....
Well, I haven't posted in a while.... So I'm just gonna post about today!
I woke up at 9:00. I got up and played with the doggies. Fernando smelled really bad. I got Mini Wheats! I love that cereal. I did my school. Then I played on the computer. I did my chores after that. I don't love sweeping. I went back to my game. I posted about today! I played outside. I came inside because it was cold. I ate lunch at 1:00. I was practicing our lil' dance. I went in my room after that. I danced to one of my favorite songs, Party Rock Anthem. I came out and watched TV. At 2:00 I had a protein bar for class later. At 2:30 I got ready for class. By 3:00 I was done. I was waiting for my friend, Grace to arrive. She arrives, and we head out for the bus. We take a bus to the Transit Center, then we go on the 511 bus that takes us to Downtown Seattle. Grace and I sit in the back. This Chinese guy overheard us talking about a snack that I brought. (Goldfish) He asked us for our names and ages. He said he's been working at this one place for like 17 years. And he gave us his Company Pen. It's PURPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But it doesn't write in purple.
We waited a while because of traffic. We were having a very interesting conversation with him but sadly.... We couldn't understand him that well because of his accent. Once we got close to our stop this lady sits down next to us. She starts talking to us as well. She asked us if we were going to Gymnastics or Ballet. So we answered. Ballet. And then she starts talking to us about her kids and how they wanted to be in Gymnastics. Then the Asian guy starts talking and she interrupts him like, "Don't get all up in their grill, man! These kids are just kids, man!" Then she starts talking to us again, "Now you guys, don't talk to strangers. People can be really mean to kids. So don't talk to anybody you don't know." It's like, WAT DA POO!!??!? You're a stranger and you're talking to me!! WAT DA POO!?!?!? I don't think that they realized that we had my mom with us. Oh well....
Well.... That was today. But that guy was really nice so I hope that he's there next time!
Bye!
