Christmas Performance

Yesterday I had a Christmas performance. It was a lot of fun!! We did a dance in soft shoes then another dance on pionte. For the soft shoe piece, we danced to "Sleigh Ride". I looked good all until the ending. The ending was very rushed! We were late. So as we were rushing, me and one other girl, on the other side of the line from where I was, got our faces covered by someone's skirt part of the costume. The front row ended holding out their skirts, and the back row is supposed to turn to the front and end on our knee holding out one end of the skirt. Well, like I said me and the other girl got a skirt in our faces, and one of the girls in the middle, was VERY rushed, she was in such a hurry, that in stead of landing on her knee, she fell onto her bottom and went sliding back a few feet! As you can imagine, I am laughing very hard as I am writing this! The night before we had a long talk on if we mess up, then keep a smile on your face and it will make it not as noticeable that you messed up. And if you fall, fall gracefully. She did neither of those when she went flying back. She had both feet and hands straight in the air and the most, "Oops! I messed up" face ever!! So it was very noticeable that we messed up!

The pionte shoe piece (we danced to "Joy To The World") went very well! WE DIDN'T MESS UP!!!! It was done very nicely!
We were all a part of a bunch of other people doing things, such as singing, or playing just a few instruments...etc... We were the only ones that danced. The main star of the show, was a singing group called "Paid in Full". They were GOOD!! Anyways, we have to preform again tonight, so we'll see how "Sleigh Ride" goes!! I can't wait!!

Happy Holidays!
