Recital??!!!

I have my end of year dance recital tomorrow. I'm really excited...but I wish that this year hadn't gone so fast. Usually, for my recitals, it's mostly wait, dance, wait, wait, wait, but this year, since I'm in 6 classes (two ballet, four jazz)There are about three dances for every one I'm in, instead of being in one out of ten. Anyway, it should be fun.

The Jazz recital is "Peter Pan" this year. I am a lost boy, "Indian" and "poison". The poison dance is amazing. I really like it...but by the end of it, we're in a circle, and you can hear everyone panting...it's almost louder than the music :0. In the Indian dance, our song is "I don't want to work, I want to bang on the drums all day" and we dance with drumsticks. We sound pretty good if I do say so myself. There is this lift in the Lost Boys dance that I really hope works. I'm supposed to be thrown up in the air by two of my friends, but so far I haven't gotten up very high....I guess I just hope that it works.

Stage makeup: I'm always worried that I'm wearing too much or not enough. Everyone I talk to seems to do it differently. Oi!

This is my first year on pointe in the recital. I am not so much nervous as I am anxious and hoping (fingers WAAAYY crossed) that my two blisters will heal more and not hurt as much as they did today during the dress rehearsal. Also, I think that my pointe shoes are too small- not by much but enough for my big toes to be really sore while I have the shoes on. I didn't really have a choice because when I got these pointe shoes (they're just broken in) the size up was too big.

Wow! It feels really good to rant! Probably will again soon!
