Auditions and Things..

We have auditions for the Byham show this week.  We had the first one last night it was for a Limon piece “A Choreographic Offering” and I got a call back for tonight, yay!  We will see how this goes, hopefully well. :)  Our next audition is Saturday 6-10pm for “Lickity Split” >.< and then next Saturday is the last one for Byham.  If I don’t get cast in this show however I will have a chance to be in the adjunct faculty show so there are still opportunities for one last performance this year.  :)

It’s really crazy that my sophomore year is nearly finished.  We had our advisement meetings with our advisers to schedule classes for next year and I am also registering for a few summer courses.  The remainder of March is going to fly by so fast and then only the month of April will be left!  >.< I have decided that I will be staying with my dad this summer since the courses I will be taking will be online.  I’m really looking forward to expanding this summer in countless ways. :)  I’m not sure exactly what I’m going to be doing for dance but I think I am going to start making an at home workout/stretching/movement/yoga plan to do every morning to keep in condition.  I MUST KEEP MOVING. 

In other news I started C25K yesterday and I’m excited to be able to run a 5K!!!  I’ll be doing the workout 3 times a week and on the days that I don’t run I’m going to continue with weight training.  Hopefully I will see the results I want soon.  Anyways, off to change and eat breakfast before class! 

Have a beautiful day everyone. :)

I feel like this completely applies to dancing and choreography as well. Sometimes less is more. :)
