be a ballerina

I’m on my way! I’m in my local production of the Nutcracker. Yeah I’m only a lowly extra (awesome white and gold reindeer!), but I start pointe in January so we’ll see if it get something better next time.

I took a pointe class on flat and I got yelled at the entire time. I’m 20, my bad turn out and weird hips are not going to change, I know this! But she is convinced I’m just lazy.. maybe Miss Heidi’s yelling will scare them into cooperation and my dreams of ballet stardom will come true. :-/.

I’m not a ballet dancer, my turnout is too bad, but I’ve always wanted to be in a ballet, a real ballet, not the nutcracker put on by a random dance school. I’ve got a long way to go having just started ballet in December, but I’m already pretty good (well in comparison to the 11 year olds in my class). If there is a ballet company out there that will take me I will pretty much faint.
