Starry Starry Night

So today I'm really really busy, but I haven't posted anything so here I am. Yesterday was the Starry Starry Night Dance Concert, you should have seen my face. I had to put black eyeliner around my lips and then paint it with red lipstick and then put glitter everywhere. If you've ever seen The Wizard of Oz my mouth looked like Dorothy's shoes. My eyes were caked with make up and to add an affect- fake eyelashes. I swear there was like 4 different eyeshadows and 2 eyeliners on my eyes alone. And then bronzer, foundation and blush. Geez and taking it off was the hard part. I was dancing yesterday from 11:45-9:00. I didn't go home once either. Talk about life of a dancer. And now I have so much homework to do. Because tomorrow on Monday I have dance class from 4:00-8:30 and I can't leave homework to that day.


Here's me at the recital not practicing my dances-













Look it's my closeup!! See my shiny red lips and fake eyelashes? Gyah. I think I ended up swallowing most of that glitter.

Oh and on another note, on Friday me and some of the girls from my dance studio went to BYU and watched the Cougarettes dance. They were amazing. Just looking at them makes me think... well I got a long way to go.

Here's my life:

If you have ever watched a dance performed and muttered "wow" under your breath. If you have ever set foot in a studio and felt at home. If you have ever felt a feeling or emotion, and longed to express it using your body. If music and rhythm reaches you on such an emotional level that you can't help but put that emotion into creative movement. If you have ever worked so hard, just to see the other team win, but knew you performed your absolute best. If you have ever willingly applied a tube of bright red lipstick and smiled the cheesiest smile you could muster. You are a dancer. This is your life.

Just so you know I spend 15 hours a week in my dance studio. Dance studio? First home. Where I sleep? Second home.

Well I really have to do homework and stop procrastinating.
Updating later!
Ciao for now.
