my mom and I are going to Holland I’m so excited I don’t know Dutch but my mom got a app that is called Duo lingo. It has all the different languages And it’s helping me a lot With Dutch We are going on April 2 And my friend Abby has her birthday on April 1 so we might come to her house and have lots of fun And my opah and Oma are you going with us when we get there we are going to my moms cousins house we are going to stay there for two weeks so my mom and I are going to check out the cheese markets and other buildings the special part about Holland is that by opah and Oma were born in there
My teacher Miss Zoanne wanted us to explain how to do the new exercises to her. We already did it once, but we have to do it again I don’t really know why but I think it’s because they really want us to know them.
The other pointe teachers might ask us the new exercises to make sure that we know them. If a pointe teacher ask us to do the exercise, I might do the wrong exercise.
For a example last time she asked me to explain to her how to do the kneeling exercise. I got it wrong. I had explained the three Legget cat exercise instead. She corrected me. Now I know.
My 9th birthday is tomorrow, on November 7, and so is my ballet class. I have to leave at 3:30 because it takes a half-hour to get there.
Tomorrow I have Miss Zoanne, my teacher because she is always there on Thursdays. Miss Mary is my teacher on Tuesdays.
On my birthday we are going to have hamburgers for lunch. I might have my friends over. Ezra and I made the cake, but we haven’t made the frosting yet. We are going to make the frosting on my birthday.
Ezra and I are going to make the frosting and the cake with coconut. Coconut cake is my favorite cake. When we are done putting the frosting on the cake, we are going to sprinkle coconut flakes on top of it.
I got some new ballet exercises:
- Kneeling turnout
- Parallel to turnout
- Functional turnout
- Performance stretch
- Single leg rises turned out
- Cat stretch
- Three legged cat
- Wall press
- Gluteal stretch
Some of the new exercises are hard for me because it is hard to follow the moves on the videos.
My performance is right next to Christmas. I have some friends that are going to be there at my performance. They dance at Selah Dance Academy too. Their names are Abby and Sophie. They are in the same class together at the dance school, but I am in a different class. They go to hip-hop and tap. I go to Ballet and Pointe classes.
Sophie is nine years old and Abby is eight years old, which is the same age as me. Sophie lives right next to me. We live on one hill and she lives on an opposite hill. We can walk down and up the hill and we can go to each other's house.
This is a picture of me and Abby at last year’s performance near Christmas.
