[20 Jan 2005|12:59am] [ mood | sore hamstrings! can't walk ] [ music | mighty touch --- don't know who! ] 'Show me these amazing feet of yours' 'Well I guess they're alright' What am I supposed to make of this? Are they really only OK? I pride myself on my pointe, and someone tells me they are 'alright' I don't know what to think of this. I really don't!!! Are my feet really just average? Do they really blend in with the crowd? Argh! I must practise and practise and use that strech band. I must make my feet perfect. I must make my feet the most beautiful feet my teachers have ever seen. I must make my feet arch to the floor. This is a challenge I am ready to except. Here I come beautiful feet. My teacher said I was 'beautiful' in neo today. I love neo, by far my favourite. It looks amazing and it's really what I call dancing. All the lines are perfect, and it's so technical. I just love it! I really want to start full time, really really pro dancing. I really want to do it at the Australian, or Russian, or something. Just to be a perfect ballarina. I let myself slip a couple of times and didn't do turn outs or anything so I must work on that... I need to focus, and put more effort into things, not just do them to get them done. It will pay off in the long run. I'm a bit scared about tomorrow and ballet. I am going to wear the full leotard with bun and everything... I usually just wear tight singlet tops and shorts and stuff. Hmmm... And my teacher really likes thin, bony dancers, so I will have no breakfast, and then water water water all day long. Unfortunately netball was cancelled so I don't have it after dancing. That would burn off lots of calories! Lose some of the weight I've gained... I need to stop spending! School is coming up and I need to buy all of my books, and everything I need. I also won't be working as much when school starts so I'll have less money coming in. Save save save. Save for emergencys!!! Ahhh... talk about pressure. 5 flexs pointe

[18 Jan 2005|11:51pm] [ mood | drained ] So sore, so sore, so sore... So fucking sore!!! My thighs are killing me!!! I could hardly walk without them hurting like hell then I had to work for another four and a half hours! Yay!!! I had the best class today- Body Conditioning. It's so fucking fun!!! It's basically streching and some core work. We also did areobics, so it was a full on 1 1/2 hour work-out! Streching was so good. I need to strech more and more. And at the end of the class I could go flat with splits. I was so lose and warm, and well it was the best class ever! I wish there was a class like that at the gym or something. I can't do it on my own and remember all the streches :-( I can only try I guess... We also had acrobatics which was fun! Pyrimids and cartwheels and handstands. I was crap and all but I had such a fun time. Also drama and funk (which I sort of understood) were fun. I really really like this summer school. Really really like it :-) everyone is so nice and we just have a really good time! I need a shower, and I just need to get organised. So see ya! pointe

[17 Jan 2005|08:29pm] [ mood | drained ] Well I'm glad I went to the dancing summer school! We had four classes; ballet, jazz, musical theater and tap and they were around an hour and a bit each. Ballet was good, I <3 it even more than I did, and the teacher said I had really good feet and legs!!! People are always saying how nice my feet are. Apparently my turn-out is good too :-) We only did barr work, but thats OK because I needed to do some technical stuff. Jazz is another story. Eugh, I was horrible! The dance was so quick, and she kept teaching the class more and more, I just couldn't keep up. I felt like such a failure, standing in the middle of the class, not knowing what the fuck I was doing. I ended up crying in the middle of the class so I left. So embarrasing... Theater was so fun! The dancing and the singing and the teacher! lol, he was hilarious! Wearing a g-string!!! We did abba's dancing queen. I have never done tap before, but I picked it up OK. For someone who has never done it before I was pretty good! It was fun any way. There was this girl in my class, she was really good at all dances. She said she wanted to be a proffesional dancer. It's not going to happen. I mean shes really really really good, but unless she losses the puppy fat she isn't going to be accepted anywhere I e-mailed ----- and I hope it's the right address or she hasn't abandoned me or something. I miss her. I don't know how someone could be so nice, friendly, funny and everything at the same time... Apart from the --- thing where she basically ignored the fact she was supposed to be coming to the bbq/party/gathering. Whatever it was... I feel a bit sick and I have a horrible headache. I think it's dehydration and tiredness! ( Food was not as good as I would of liked... ) pointe
