Like Mother Like Daughter

Well my dear mother has been blogging for quite some time now, so I figured oh I guess I should too. She does this thing where she takes a picture of herself every day and then blogs about her day. I'm going to be a Senior in High School so I decided that would be a great idea to remember such an important year in my life. I won't be starting the "official" 365 picture thing, or whatever you want to call it until the first day of school...which is in exactly a week, can't you see the joy? But I'll share with you some of my piks from lasts year's dance!!

This one to your right is of last year's Senior Dance Company. The routine was called, 'Adagio Allegro in Doc Martins.' Basically, we each had our own character and when it was time for the performance, disaster struck! The dance was a recreation of when my dance teacher first created this piece in college. The inspiration was a girl who had forgotten her dance shoes and did everything with an amazing pointe in her combat boots! It was such fun stomping around in our combat boots and then randomly busting out in ballet moves! Haha so from left to right you have the Girl who is always one count off, the Jealous Bully, the Messy Girl, The Daydreamer, The Clumsy One, the Diva, the Moderator, and the Chaty Cathys who talk during the whole dance. That's me on the far right.

Now if you look over to your left you can see one of my ballet numbers (I'm in the very back with my hand covered by the letters). The theme for this past May was movies and this dance was done to the theme of the Mission. I've never seen it before, but the music is really pretty and I have seen the Holiday before and Jack Black's character alludes to the soundtrack, kind of cool! Anyways, this was on Pointe, well except for two girls who aren't on Pointe yet. I got to do a bit of a Pas de Deux which is partnering dancing. That was um...well an interesting experience let's just call it that. Haha, no it was a lot of fun. In addition to these two dances I also did another Pointe to the Forest Gump Theme, a Jazz to the Austin Powers Theme, a Modern to a song called Bells Books and Candles, I can't remember the name of the movie it's from right now, and the opening routine was to Let's Go to the Movies from Annie!
