1960's Interview

Like Sally said, Dance has changed over time. Technique is very important and the costumes and lighting that go into making a show have been taking to a new extreme, but in some ways dance has stayed the same. It is still just something that many people enjoy, and love to do.

My journey has begun. I am full of nerves, good and bad. I am excited to begin my process and to improve my technique, but I'm afraid that my passion for dance won't be enough, and I will not be able to physically handle the next four years.

So far my classes are good. Im considered advanced in my jazz and lyrical class. Pointe is hard, painful, And just overall odd. I don't see how anyone can get pleasure out of it, But my teacher certainly does. She expects a lot out of me. To much.

Everything is bad. Pain, ache, and stress covers my body each day, but I cant get away. I am not going to quit.

The winter performance is coming up. Were doing the nutcracker. I am a sugarplum dancer. Of course I'm not a lead, like always.

I have been busy. I am starting to enjoy pointe more. I still don't like it, but I don't completely hate it.



4-22-2008



Assessments are coming up. They determine are classes for next year. I am preforming jazz. That is my strength.
