Dance Privates W/ Miss Sara

Clara In The Nutcraker with the Nutcracker(, turned back into a man)
  Hey, dancer! I just got back from my Dance Privates with Miss Sara! Dance Privates (aka, Privates) are what we call our solo and duo/trio dance practices with the choreographer! Anyways, Miss Sara told me she could tell I've been stretching, because my jet`es were MUCH, much higher, and almost the splits!! My piques were SUPER fast, and my base leg was straight! I feel that I might have a chance to get the role of Clara in the Nutcracker this year!!! (I promise to explain more later, but I gotta fly!)


  I guess that streching CD is working!!! Sooo happy! Also, wish me luck for this Tuesday! It's my studio's auditions for the Compitition Team!!! Can't wait!

  How's your dance week going so far?  wish you the best of luck at whatever you're doing!


 kisses,

SEASON 3 WINNER OF SYTYCD: MMMEEEEEE!!!

  Today I've been dancing around the house, inventing lyrical moves and practicing my turns. I'm trying to choreograph a lyrical/open to the song Addicted by Kelly Clarkson. It's going pretty well, though I've only thought of 2 eights!


  The reason why I'm so into lyrical now all started at my studio's Lock-In. My studio's Lock-In is like a slumber party at the studio, but only for people on the compitition team. Anyways, one of our activities was re-creating So You Think You Can Dance. (We loved doing sytycd sooo much, we had 3 seasons!) In SYTYCD, we would pretend to be one of the people on the show! (It's wierd, because I was Lauren Froderman, and the next night she won season 7 of SYTYCD!!!)


  Anyways, for season 3, me and my friend Kenz (Mackenzie R.) did a lyrical duet to Glitter In The Air by Pink! (I've loved that song ever since!) And the performence of it was A-MAZE-ING!!!!!! Me and Mackenzie got picked to be the final 2, and had to perform a solo! Mine consisted of leaps and turns. It ended up a tie, but they drew a name and it was mine!  So that's how I won season 3 of So You Think You Can Dance!

How's your season of SYTYCD? Hope you win!

MISS SARA'S STRETCHING CD

The picture on my iPod Touch for the Album of Miss Sara's Stretching CD!
That's Miss Sara Holding the Trophy!
  Last week I got a CD from my solo choreographer, Miss Sara. She told me it was my stretching CD, and I was supposed to stretch to the hour-long CD 3 days per week! I told her I promised I would. So far, I have been stretching 30 minutes per day, instead of an hour long for three days. That makes it much easier and I have one full day off! But I think I will do an hour long for only three days now, since school is starting tomorrow (My first day at Lebanon Jr. High)!


  Anyways, back to the CD! The CD has 16 songs, all of which I love! Since Miss Sara made the CD herself, I had to name the songs after I listened to them on my iPod. Here's the names I came up with (some are accurate, but some may not be):




  1. I Wanna Know Your Name
  2. Who Made You King (Who Died and Made You King)
  3. Runaway
  4. Need Me
  5. Love is Gone
  6. Somethin' 'Bout Love
  7. Rolling on the River
  8. Covergirl
  9. Love Again
  10. Right Now
  11. Up and Running
  12. So Bad
  13. Touched
  14. Automatic
   I'll have to say my favorite song on this CD is Touched by Natasha Bedingfield! I'm gonna add a widget on the site that has a picture of her with the lyrics of Touched!


 What's your favorite song on the CD?

STARTING THINGS ANEW

  Hello. I've been taking dance since I was three. I've been on my studio's compitition team for five years. But I've never practiced my routines any year, so I would never get better! But this year, I'm planning on taking dance more seriously! I need to practice and do my stretching CD Miss Sara made me! So, every time I come from dance, or I feel like blogging about my dance life, I'll come here!

  I'm already planning my future for dancing, I'm getting more serious! When I graduate out of a dance college, i'm going to try to be an intern for the KCB (the Kansas City Ballet). Then, maybe the next year they will except me!

  Anyways, welcome to my dance journal as you expirence my good times and trials. As I start anew.

   Hope you stick with me until the end!




kisses,

Peyton <3
