Hey all. I just wanted to say how much I respect my fellow dancers who dance all day long then go teach little ones at night to pay the bills. I just taught for 2.5 hours after work today and I am beat. So kudos to all of you. I don't know how you do it. Today (and most of this season actually) I feel just like this little girl above. (I love this picture for a couple reasons. One: I relate to her. Two: Lately God has been showing me more about how He sees me as His little daughter, even when I dance, and this gives me much happiness to know He is pleased and delighted with what He sees...)
We had a dress rehearsal today in the studio to practice the costume changes (I have six). Being a dancer all day long is so much more exhausting then I ever thought it would be. It IS my first season, and we are definitely in the thick of things now, we are leaving for our first tour on Wednesday. But still. GEEEESH! I am surprised I can even walk. Seriously.
We open on December 18th in Lakewood, Colorado (our home base) and it will be fun to get onstage to do this Nutcracker thingy. And I am quite proud to say my stamina has gone way, way up. Although I still feel tired, I am basically dancing through the entire show. Hard work, but worth it in the end.

I love that picture! Sounds like you're working so hard. Glad you're enjoying it!
That is such a sweet picture. I can imagine how tired you must be. The other day I tried doing some moves for my son because it makes him laugh. Now my calves are so sore I can barely walk! Good luck with Nutcracker and try to get some rest!
