Spectacular

New York New York piece choreographed by Ashley, Chloe and Aimee. I'm 3rd from left :)

The Hunt choreographed by Alexis. The girls are vampires trying to kill Connor.....Ruby was in this one, I was in New York New York

The auditorium's fundraiser is called the Performing Arts Spectacular and yesterday and Wednesday night were the performances. It was so fun! Kind of a low stress, high energy type performance. We also performed No Light, choreographed by Brayden Singley (who's now on a mish in Washington!) which we performed at the Welcome Assembly as well. Now the parents got to see it! I love that dance. It's so beautiful and inspiring with the yellow rose petals, strong movements and meaning behind the movement.

After the performance on Wednesday, Emily and I went and asked to Halloween. Ruby tagged along too, but didn't ask since she's not 16 :)
I didn't have anything prepared, so we just went to Emily's got some candy and printed identical pages.
Yep, we asked in the exact same way....hahaha which is ironic because it said,
I'm a senior and out of cute things to say, so how about we just dance the night away?

We also both asked boys named Zach :)

Then yesterday, right after petals, we booked it to Nutcracker rehearsal. (I apologize for the hyper, exhausted, freaking out mood I was in to all the Waltz girls)  Exhaustion+Adrenaline+Friends+Performing+LateNightBallet=CRAZINESS

DC pictures I think turned out cute. We took them in front of the Lion House and I can't wait to see em! :)

There are so many things that make up a person. I know that "things" isn't the right word, but I can't think of something that adequately describes what a person even  would  be made of. Dreams, accomplishments, interests, regrets, mistakes, wishes, relationships, etc. I love ballet. I want to teach ballet, and I want to dance ballet. It's part of who I am. But my heart also yearns for the actress side of me. The little bite of real acting that I got at the age of ten in a production of Babes in Toyland in Salt Lake City. The countless drives to Ogden for rehearsals of Music Man when I was twelve. The ten-hour dress rehearsals of Jana's plays throughout high school. I miss that. My heart yearns for the flute. The peak of my playing my Senior year when I was practicing daily and could play Carnival of Venice like a pro. When I began to see what my practicing had accomplished and considered going on to play in a symphony. I miss French. Learning an entire other ...
So my parents are off to Paris with Freestone and Tizzy. Lucky ducks! My grandparents are staying with us some of the time, but a lot of babysitting and homework is in-store for me this next week and a quarter so I was kinda stressed out. I spaced all my homework and remembered at 11 pm last night that I had a 100 question biology test, 2 Honors English assignments (That included reading) and 6 pages of math. So I woke up at 6, did it, planned to do the math during lunch and got ready in about 2.7 minutes. Luckily, I had tutorial so I went to get Algebra 2 help and finished that. Yay! And my science test turned out to be good, I could use notes and a textbook. I am so relieved right now and I think Heavenly Father helped a lot today. The Epic of Gilgamesh has nothin' on me today! :) PS Have fun in Paris guys! We'll miss you but not too much, I mean You're In Paris! :)
You need a little chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star ~Friedrich Nietzche Doesn't that quote just give you chills? Since I'm a dance major, it really applied and hit me when I first read it. But really, couldn't it apply to everyone? Everyone needs that inner fire, the unorganized but driven, passionate part of their souls. One of my ballet teachers explains it as a dragon, sleeping below your ribs, ready to be awakened. I love that image because it makes me want to take initiative, to be strong, to let go of fear, and be a little wild. It's exhilarating, and freeing for a girl like me to tap into that more powerful, tenacious part of myself. For me, dancing lights that inner fire. I feel free to express myself and I feel vibrant and strong. Sometimes it's strange to have what used to be my "hobby" and "outlet" be my focus of study and possible career. You have to balance the academic, progressive part of it with the passion an...
