So today my friend Ally and i went and took a master class with Victor Smalley from SYTYC and DMM:) We were there from 10-3:30 and it was better than i expected! We took it at another dance studio so it was kindof awkward for me at first since almost everyone knew everyone and then it was us.. haha! But it got better! We did two different dances, a contemporary one and a jazz funk one! He was really into the artisty in contemporary. And he let you kindof do your own thing. I've never really done that before! I've always just taken the choreography that was given to me and done exactly what i was supposed to do. So it was nice to try something new, and i hope maybe my studio can do a little bit of that too now! Also there was some improv sections we had to do.. -___- i HATE improv.. alot. But i got by i guess.. except jazz. because the jazz dance was sexy,, and we had to improv, yeah. that didn't work. ANYWAYS! the dances were really cool, and unlike anything i've done before! They were fast though! And he teacher pretty quick! But we ran it alot so i caught up eventually! Then we had a "leaps and turns" class. Which ended up being more of a conditioning and jumps class. That was the toughest part. Who knows if i'll be able to walk tomorrow! haha! We did alot of tough things for stretching that i had never done before so it was hard for me! But i guess it will only help me! I mean, what doesn't kill me makes me stronger, right?:) But he showed us some different stretches they do at stars and they were cool! If you're thinking of taking one of his master classes i would totally reccomend it! It was worth my money to get a new taste for dance and to hear and watch a successful dancer speak! He's amazing! If you guys have any other questions about the class you can tweet me or DM me or leave something in one of my comment boxes, but overall i'm so glad that i went through and participated!:)
Hey guys! i'm not sure exactly who reads this. But i'm gonna start updating on other things besides just the episodes! Sometimes thought can get kindof boring dontcha think?!:) Anyways, so last week i went to ALDC for my third time (not trying to rub it in... just throwing that out there) and i got ALOT of questions! i was going to do a livestream and answer them but i promised not to do another one till i reach 2,000 followers:) So if you have any questions that i don't answer... then get me to 2,000 followers;) But i'll answer the basic ones i got! So i got to SEE the majority of the ALDC senior company and from the cast i saw Jill, Kendall, Mackenzie, Maddie, and if you could the Ackermans and Nick:) I Got pics with all of the people i mentioned individually, except Jill!:) and Payton loved the card! i saw her start reading it in the Den after she walked away and Leslie read it too, it was so cute! They loved it! And also, i bought payton a one direction CD and book thing cause she told me she liked one direction:) so yay!:) And all the people i talked to remembered me too! So i was excited about that! Check out my next blog to hear about my Class i took with Victor Smalley from dance moms miami!:)
I'm sorry that i haven't been updating on here much lately! My laptop crashed and i was doing alot of work with my birthday video for jill! (check that out under the "happy birthday jill!" tab). So i'm only going to talk about the most recent episode! This week Nia is at the top! yay!:) more about nia on my "featured dancer" page!:) This week they're competing at Starbound against the candy apples again in Myrtle Beach!:) Chloe does her solo "leave the light on" and she dances with a lantern! She does a phenominal job and wins second place!:) Justice from candy apples wins first! Congrats to both of them, they were amazing!:) Also this week we get to see a new duet! Kendall and Kenzie! They did an acro duet to the song "Reservations for two" and they wore cute little polka dot costumes!:) I thought it was adorable and i had no idea kendall was so amazing at acro! Yay girlies!:) The group dance was called "Taken" and i LOVED it:) it was even more amazing in person (i saw it at the aldc showcase) ! They got 1st place overall! And candy apples got third with their jazz number "my hair like this"! i loved that number too! yay:) Overall, the mama drama this week was overrated.. I don't like when the moms gang up on melissa, and seeing mackenzie cry like that makes me feel so terrible :( I hope next week there isn't as much drama, and much more dancing! keep on reading my blogs, and don't forget to check out my music list, it's updated!:)
