This year the dance snow's theme is Tv shows so my ballet class is Bugs Bunny and my jazz class is Batman. I'm really excited for Batman because we get to wear masks and we are trying to convince my teacher to get capes. The finale is a glee medley of Don't Stop Believein', Edge of Glory, Umbrella/ Singing in the Rain, and some other one I can't remember. For the audition we learned a part from the Don't Stop Believein' section in class and on Friday we learned a part from Umbrella/Singing in the Rain. We had numbers like on So You Think You Can Dance and they called us in by fours and the "judges" would ask us our names and how long we had been dancing. It was really fun because I knew three of the four judges really well but they pretended like they didn't know anybody. I was there with three of my friends and one of my friend's little sister but since there were five of us we were in two different groups. As I was watching my friends go before me me and my other friend were standing outside the door really nervous. I don't know why I was so nervous because before the audition the teachers told us that if we smile we make it, this was just for experience and fun. It was really fun, I don't find out until later when I have class today if I officially made it and I can't wait!
While most of you spent last Friday night with your friends or doing something fun with your family I was at dance. Now I don't normally have dance on Friday but this was different, it was an audition. At my dance studio we don't have a team like linnea's but we will have something similar soon. For ever show we combine all of the jazz classes together to have a big finale number. This year we aren't just performing at the show which is why we had to audition, ( We have to be committed) this year we are going to perform at a bunch of events. We aren't sure which ones yet but my dance teacher is going to look into the taste of Des Plaines, the taste of Park Ridge, Great America, Relay for Life and a Sky game. Two years ago we danced for the halftime show at the Sky game and we had a really good time which is how this whole idea came along. In case you didn't know Sky is Chicago's Professional Women's basketball team.
