Dance Camp!

Hey dancers! I'm doing dance camp this week, and I seriosly have like 3-5 hours a day, and some of the girls in my class are on pointe! For those of you who aren't formally ballerinas, that's where you stand on your toes, and I don't mean your usual tip-toe. You really would go on the ends of your toes, I mean the veeerry end (of course you need special shoes) ! If you don't have the right training and right type of feet, you could seriously hurt yourself, and you also have to be old enough to. Anyways, there are some advanced girls in my classes! I really love working hard at dance!

The Ballet Exams!

For those of you that know me just that well, you know I'm a dancer. And chances are, you've already heard me talking about some ballet exam. Well, it's actually really coooool! We study for it all year and learn all the steps carefully and perfectly. Around Spring and again in Autumn, we get examinated by an Official Ceccetti Examiner. Two or three of us go in at a time, and she asks us our theory questions and writes down how well we did our steps. I did it a few weeks ago, can't wait for results!
Also, they have flashcards and DVDs made by the dance teachers about what you have to know for exams. They use actual students (the top two or three in that level) and I was picked!
