Ballet update and history

YAY!!!!!! Ballet is starting up again and I am moving up in level!

My ballet teacher Miss Chandler has moved ballet lessons from 1hour a week to 11/2 hour a week on Wednesdays
I am hopefully going to start tomorrow so we'll see how it turns out.

I am also going to pay my ballet tution once a month so I'm going to be babysitting for some homeshooling moms.


Next year I should be able to go on Pointe if I work hard and practice every day!

Here's the studio's basic schedule:

At Chriatmas time we learn a Christmas dance and perform it for our parents on the last day of class then we start again in Janury or February and have Recital in May Then summer break and start again in August and  it starts all over again


And Here's my ballet history:


First day of ballet 2009 age 10

Mom always said I could start ballet lessons when I terned 10
When we lived in Idaho my mom found a ballet teacher named Miss Shelly who taught ballet in her basement and homeschooled her two sons and was LDS but a very strict ballet teacher  I started about two or three days before my 11th birthday and she had to have a substitut because she was sick.

I grew to love Miss Shelly and to look forward to ballet class every week and learned the basics to ballet
I learned and caught on fast I was the oldest and tallest in the class and all the rest of the girls were seven or eight and I was eleven

But then one day my mom had an Email from Miss Shelly saying that she and her family had to move to Utah to find anothr house and job I never heard from her again.

When we moved back to Arizona I started ballet again in Chandler I was in two beginning classes twice a week I had two Teachers: Miss Bre and Miss Chandler. Miss Bre was about 20 and was homeschooled when she was younger She was Christian. Miss Chandler was LDS and was 16

I liked them both but in Miss Chandlers class the girls were rowdy, wild, loud and mean and were jealous because  I was the best dancer in the class and Miss Chandler always complemented me and used me as an example.

In Miss Bre's class there was only one other girl who was a year younger then me and very was nice

Miss Bre combined our class with another class that she taught for our recital dance and we worked on it for months 

In May I had my first recital and had two dance numbers

Recital 2011 age 12

After recital Miss Bre had to stop teaching at the studio because she was training to be a nurse and didn't have the time

I had ballet class in June with Miss Chandler and I was the only one in the class during the summer

Recital 2011 age 12
(Sorry I dont have the one from this year!)

After summer break I started class again with Miss Chandler once a week with some of the girls who were in one of Miss Bre's other classes and that is the class that I'm in now!

And this year we had recital again and I had a real good time with my teacher and class mates and I love and appreciate them for all they do for me Thanks guys! your the best!
