Ballet Performance
Hi Everyone! If you read the other post before this than Kudos to you! If you didnt then I wish you bad luck for the next four years! You have to read it because my wonderful Ballet Teacher Ana, very graciously accepted our "forceful" pleads for her to be a guest blogger on my blog! Haha. Well anyway you have to go and check it out because she worked really hard on it =] So well since I dont want Ana, to be mad at me so I am going to blog about our performance. On the sidebar is a video of our performance. BTW I am the short one in the long pink costume on the right side. And since my Auntie video taped it and she didnt know how to turn the camera on, you wont be able to see the whole dance. Sorry to the Queens you did wonderful! Also please ignore my mistakes, like when we do the passe (not correct spelling by the way, i don't know how to spell it so I just guessed haha) thingy (right before we do the port de bras) And my arms go over my head. Yeah, I wasn't supposed to do that, I don't even know why I did it. Right before we did it I thought "I will put my arms over my head" then right after I did it I thought "Why on earth did I do that!" Oh, well whats done is done. So yeah please don't notice my mistakes =/ except for Ana, she can tell me what I did wrong since that's what she's paid for. Haha. Ok, so its taking like a million bajillion minutes to upload the video so I am really frusturated with it!!! And when it finally loads I am going to put it on my sidebar if it works if it doesnt I am reallllly sorry! Ok so I put it on, but it is really fuzzy, and I cant hear the music, but if you really love me and want to try and decifer the video then you can watch it. =] Yeah, Ana sice it is really slow then you can see our mistakes really well! Haha, but I just watched really really really slow, and I saw ALL of my mistakes! There is nothing like watching yourself on video to make you realize all the things that you did wrong =[. Oh My Goodness! My feet in the assemble beat thingamajig. Is soooo horrible I bet it would have looked better if I had not pointed my feet at all! Because what I did was, I pointed my feet right before I beated my legs so it looks really horrid. And also I didnt lean in it either and so it looks even worse =[ But I did plie, so the jump was high, but that was the only thing good haha. But I really had tons of fun! I wish that you guys could have been there! Also it was soooo hot outside! It was 84 degrees! And I got sunburned on my shoulders and my cheeks and nose =[
I am going to Oregon tomorrow for my brothers LAST gymnastics meet =[ it is Regionals and I am so proud of him! Wish him luck! And I am going to blog about it on monday or tuesday, EXCUSE me "M"onday or "T"uesday ( sorry Brigette =P ) Haha
Love you all and read Ana's blog! Haha

eh, it wasnt so bad. i think it would be a good idea to tape each groups part individually though so everyone can see their mistakes. we will do it wednesday if i remember

Brigette: I am soooo sorry about the video not working! I fixed it now =] Just for you! *cheesy grin* haha. And sorry that I didnt get yuor call, its because I was in a differant state. haha.
Ana: Yes, we should video tape all of our parts separately that would be sooooo cool! And it really does help seeing yourself on video =] Because normally we are just hearing you say what we do wrong and (at least for me sometimes) when we try and fix it its hard to see if we did actually fix it! So when you watch the video you can see all of the weird things that you do sooo much clearer =] haha, I dont even know if that made any sense. But it made sense to me! Well, anyway I will see you later today and I hope that you arent hurting as much!
