Whats Up in My Dance Life Right Now

      Wow, what a busy two weeks I've had! I started homeschool and mornng ballet classes. Its been weird but also amazing.  Every morning I drink my green smoothy, put my hair in a bun, and do a little school. Then I go to the studio and do a two hour ballet class. No matter how tired or sore I am, I have to quikly change into regular clothes and get back to school. By 5:00, I'm back at the studio. I've got the best of both worlds, right!?
        Just over the past week, I've improved so much! Because there is only two people in the class, we do everything twice on each side. Just in the exersiss alone I do more that 100 turns in one class! If we have time at the end of class, we stretch, talk, and watch amazing dance videos on YouTube. Its so, so hard but it's totally worth the sweat, blisters, almost-tears, and the weird looks people give me when I tell them I'm homeschooled!
     Nutcracker auditions were on Saturday. Everyone in the school gets a part no matter how they did in the audition, but it's still nerve racking! In my audition we did small parts on pointe from the Spanish, Angel, and Sheperdess dances. My teacher said that they may be re-choerographing some of the dances and they might bring in a new choreographer. I wonder what that intails!
     Well, thats my life right now. If anyone reading this does homeschool or is at a dance boardingschool, please tell me what your life is like. I'd love to hear from you! 
                                                                                                      See ya!
