My Old Pair of Pointes

  Wednesday was show and tell at school. I brought my Pointe shoes, of course. Both the old and new ones. I wore the new ones while I was explaining to my classmates why the old ones were so soft. When I stood on my toes, the whole circle in which we were sitting gave a "WOAH!"
  I let my friends write their autographs on the old pointes :D They look so nice and colorfull...



There goes my Pointe shoes...

  P.S. our pet rabbit died today :'(. You can read about him in my Mom's blog: Trying Hard to Be Still.

Tuesday...


  Ever since I started stretching at home, I can never sit still in front of the T.V. I always have to be doing something- which is usually either stretching, or eating :P I don’t know if this is because I have more energy now, or if I just don’t want to watch the same movie over and over again…
  Last Tuesday, I decide to practice making a bun on my sister’s hair. It was the first time I made a successful bun on someone else’s hair! I do my own hair, but I find the quality of my sister’s hard to handle. It isn’t coarse like mine, Its shiny and not as thick ;)

  Finally, I can help my sister when Mom’s not with us. Of course, she got bored and I had only my own head to bun. I also learned how to fix my hair without a hair tie, using only hairpins and a hair net…
  Later that afternoon, we went out to take a walk but decided to go straight to my sisters ballet class in Locsin’s because of the traffic. I wanted to practice my new skill of fixing her hair so I asked her for hairpins and a hair net. She didn’t bring a net so I had to make a sturdy bun with only hairpins. Luckily it held  together. I’m so proud :P
  When we got to Locsin’s I wanted so badly to join class I missed my Monday class, you see. I asked the teacher and I did, along with other little girls my sister’s age :P Teacher Henry had an instant assistant. Me :P Hahaha!







First Dance Club Meet-up For Sept.



  Great class! Eric had to leave after 30 minutes, but Pat and I managed it well. It was a rather calm class, with Pat leading.
  Although she really establishes her ground strongly, its calmer because I, I'm afraid, tend to shout. My mind felt more at peace, knowing that someone else was taking charge and we were able to break down the choreo so that they got every step.
  Were almost there, really, they got the steps but we have to work on the timing with the music. I remember when I just started Hip Hop.
   It took me probably the year after I started before I got the hang of it all. I remember being called slow because I couldn't get the steps. Or balletic because of my lines :(

Dance Club… Finally!!!

  After two weeks, there’s finally something for me to look forward to on Fridays. Dance Club. It’s going to be the first meet up of the month tomorrow. Pat asked me if she could lead the class. A chance for her to establish her authority. And a chance for me to let go and enjoy, technically, my first Hip Hop class since I left LCBPAC. You can’t show off when you’re teaching, you see. It wastes time. And they will just stare, absorbing the shock rather than the steps :P
  Can’t wait to see how tomorrow will be like. I will be an assistant. The thing about being an assistant is that you can show off. This is because you’re supposed to help and, for me, inspire the students :D
  Hope I can blog about tomorrow :D Wish me, or better yet wish Pat, luck!
