I Also Want to Do Tap Dance

Next week I go back to ballet. I don’t know what the Easter performance dance is about yet. I think the new ballet practice will be for the Easter performance.

I also want to do tap dance because tap looks really fun to do. Compared to ballet, tap dance movements are much faster, the noise that you make with your feet is loud, and the music is faster.

During the last performance, my favorite tap dance that I saw was by the dance class « The Smith Sisters »

My Third Performance Went Great

My 3rd performance went great. But when we started doing our first practice on stage, we messed up a lot. We were bumping into each other. But when I performance started and lots of people were watching, we did well.

After my performance, my Oma gave me yellow flowers to congratulate me. We went to a restaurant named Shari’s. All my cousins, my Opa and Oma, and my aunt were there too. They let me pick out the pies that I liked. I chose lemon meringue pie and a berry pie. All of my friends who danced with me were there at the same restaurant, but not at our table. Except two of my friends, David and Emma, weren’t there. 

One of my favorite dances in the performance is the dance by the 4 to 5 Adults Tap Class. It looked really fun and I liked the music and the dance. 

My next performance is in June. 

Piano Playing with my Toes

I got a new exercise paper last week. 

There are these exercises in it:         

  1. Piano Playing: toes go up and down, one at a time.
  2. Tendu and Croix: you Point your foot and she wants us to know what is the difference of it
  3. Demi-Pointe balance: you haft to stand on your toes and balance
  4. Side lifts: you have to lay on your side and lift up your whole waist and legs and make sure that your feet do not touch together
  1. Turnout Ex. in Retire': 
  2. Piriformis stretch:
  3. Bug legs(A):
  4. Three-Legged Cat-V2:
  5. Hip flexor stretch:

Today I have my ballet practice.

I'm so excited about my upcoming performance.



There are Lots of Plans for December

There are lots of plans for December. One of the plans is that Noelle and Cameron are going to take me to my first performance on Thursday because my dad and my mom are not going to my first performance. My mom and my dad are going to see it on Friday, which is the second performance day. 

My Opa and Oma are also going to my second dance performance. Tante Tanja and my cousins are going too. My older brothers, Caleb and Jonathan, are not coming to either of the performances. Caleb is in Petaluma and Jonathan is in Dan Diego. That’s why they can’t come. 

My friends Abby and Sophie do hip-hop and tap at Selah Dance Academy and they are going to be there at both performances as dancers. We sit at different spots in the theatre by dance style as we wait our turn to go on stage. That means we can see each other dance our different parts of the performance. My teacher, Miss Mary, she said we might get our first letter of our name put on our waiting seats. 

For Thanksgiving

For my performance all of my brothers and my sisters are going to it to watch me and my Opa and Oma are going to be there. Noelle’s boyfriend might come too.

For Thanksgiving we are going to eat at our house with our relatives. Uncle Mark and Aunt Sherri will Skype to say hi because they are in Florida. My brother Jonathan is flying in from San Diego. My brother Caleb Is driving in from from Petaluma. He is going to be here for the big meal and we might have Martinelli drinks there too!

My ballet practice is canceled due to the holiday.
