Teen Arts...

Over the course of the 2 weeks, we have learned phrases for the piece the morning class is taking to Teen Arts and Ms. Mack has set the dance on us. I have tried my best to pick up the phrase work and find the details as quickly and accurately as possible. When we started the piece, Shalima and I were faking the counter-balances but now I feel that we actually go for them. I feel that this piece is helping me release in my body even more. When it comes to the parts where I am lifted, I try to help as much as I can by not giving all of my body weight over.

When Ms. Mack gives us notes, I put them into effect immediately. For example, the other day she told me not to step with my heels first and the next time we did the dance, I fixed it. There is a lot of cleaning up to be done with the dance tomorrow and on top of that there's a half day, which means we'll have to work our butts off tomorrow and hopefully everyone is in school or we're in trouble.
