Now, on to an actual post. *gasp* Yes, it's true. I, Jedi~Chick, shall do an actual real live post. X)
You see, I've been gone lately because of Summer. You'd think I'd be home more because of summer, but no. I had my dance recital!!!!! It seriously was a great experience!!! I now know that I actually love the stage. Literally and figuratively. XD
You want pictures? OKAY!
First though, I'll give you a run-down of everything that happened on both the rehearsal and the recital. IT WAS SOOO BUSY!!!!!!! I didn't sit for the entire four hour show. xDD
First, we did a 'daddy daughter dance' where my dad (and a TON of other dads) danced to the song 'Ice, Ice, Baby' and the girls came out in the end of the song to dance with our daddies. :)
My sister and I played on the stage for like, ten minutes before they closed the curtain (which they had closed for about twenty minutes to a half an hour before the show actually started). XD
Here are some pictures I took while playing on-stage.
As you can see, the theater doesn't have anyone in it yet, which is why the dance teachers let the girls play around on stage. That second picture is of my sister. ;)
Before hand, I did my hair and makeup, my sister's hair and makeup, and my cousin's too.
Here's what Nutmeg's hair looked like when I was done. I'm pretty proud of it. XD
That child has SUPER long hair. All her friends tell her she has 'Rapunzel hair' because it's so stinkin' long!!!! I managed to get it into a very pretty bun though. ;) And her face was really pretty too, except my mom won't let me post her face. XD
There's me, my sister and friend onstage playing around before the show. ;) It was fun! And that's our tap costume. It's not as short as it looks, because it's got built in shorts underneath. It's actually really cute! LOL!
Well, FINALLY they closed the curtain and announced backstage to get ready for the show. I got to take care of a little three year old, because her mom wanted to watch the show, and her step-dad was in the dancing dads (but in a different wing) so I took care of her. I didn't know her, or her family, but she took to me so quickly, and I held her for about twenty minutes, and then lifted her up to see the curtains open. I danced with her (backstage) and let her play with the sequins on my costume. ;) Then I watched another little girl (this one was five) and played with my sister and my dad's work friend's' daughter too. I was the oldest dancing dad girl. XDD So naturally I took care of all the little girls. ;)
Directly after dancing dads, I had to stay backstage to help with my little girls class. Their jazz dance was to Billy Ray Cyrus's Achy Breaky Heart. It was ADORABLE and they did AMAZING!!!!!!! I was so proud of them!!!!! :D There were five different classes combined into one big dance number. XP It was nuts backstage. XDDD
After that, I was free for the rest of the first act. I waited in our dressing rooms with my cousin, friends and just about all the other intermediate/advanced girls. XD I was in 'Locker Room One' as it is called. Here is a few pictures I took in utter boredom while waiting in our dressing room. :P
All my lovely stuff. My Star Wars bag, my camera case, my makeup bag....
A closeup of my tap costume that I took on my friend. ;) We really like this costume all things considering. ;)
Again, another shot of all our stuff. My bags up top, my dance bag below and my friend's back pack underneath too.
As Threepio would say, "Oh the horror!!!" It's my Lyrical costume!!!!!!!! XD
Well, all that boredom lasted about ten minutes because I am apparently a very helpful and responsible teenager, and was asked by many of my friends and fellow dancers to help them either get changed, do their hair, fix their makeup or find their missing items. :P So I didn't sit for a long time. Soon enough, it was intermission.
My tap number was the second dance of the second act. So we lined up at intermission and then quickly went onstage with my tap teacher to practice our tap slides. ;) BUT.....*creepy music here* CRISIS STRUCK! In our class of nine. XD
One girl lost her shoes. I went with her to find someone to loan her a pair.
Another girl (a good friend of mine) pinched a nerve or something in her neck and went into panic mode. :( I helped her with deep breathing and found a teacher to help her stretch and calm down. She was crying. ;( I also 'preached' to her and told her to just calm down and that everything would be fine, and that I was praying for her.
BUT THE SHOW GOES ON!!!!!!! We did our tap number beautifully, and nailed the slides. Ms. Diane was very proud. ;)
After tap, I rushed backstage, threw on my lyrical costume, quickly touched up my makeup (and by quickly I mean wipe off the smudged lipstick and re-apply it) and then ran back into the hallway to help my little girls with their ballet number. :D
OH MY WORD they are the most adorable children on the face of the earth. I love them to death. :D
These little girls all came to me for hugs right after my tap (before I was even changed) and said, "Miss (insert real name here I will use Fallon) Miss Fallon! Miss Fallon!!! We saw you dancing! you did so good! Your dress is so sparkly!!!" I got hugs from eleven 3-5 year olds and kisses too. ;) Then one of the backstage moms came to me and said, "Those little girls sat in front of the TV (there's a TV downstairs in the kiddie room where the little ones can watch the show as it happens) and they watched your entire dance, so excited that their 'Miss Fallon' was dancing on stage." I was so touched. It's amazing how much I impact these little girls' lives. The moms all love me. XD They requested that I come back next year to help in their daughters' class.
Soon it was time for the little ones to dance. I carried/walked them backstage (across/behind the stage to get to stage left) and stood to dance with them in the wings. They did the ballet PERFECT. I still am so incredibly proud of them!!!! Even the twins did FABULOUS! :D (the twins are both autistic. their mom is super sweet. ;))
After that I rushed back to my dressing room to grab my lyrical shoes and then rejoin my class in the hallway to do our lyrical. I helped two of my friends with their headbands for that, and then we had to go to stage left (behind the stage again!) for my lyrical. I had to help across my friend, who has Cerebral Palsy, get across too. Then we did our lyrical, which went off without a hitch! I was very pleased with it. And 'Hey There Delilah' is a hard song to dance to. xD
After lyrical, we literally ran to the front lobby for the Finale, where we waited for another twenty minutes, until we could get inside and run down the aisles for the finale song. ;)
But, the usher ladies were MEAN. They yelled at us to get back and that we weren't allowed to sit on the steps to wait. She was MEAN!!!!! :P
Anyway, finale went very well and I was CENTER STAGE!!!!!!! Ahh!!!!!! :DDD LOL! xDD I loved it honestly.
SO! That's our show! It was really fun and I had a great time! :D I'm pretty much finished with this post now. I really hope to get back into posting almost every day. I'll be on vacation soon, so just to let you know I may or may not be able to post. Visiting family and all that. ;)
Love you all!!!! I've got 46 followers now!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!! *hugs all 46* Thanks so much everyone!!!!!!!!! :D I'm so excited!
