Mostly excited, for now - but when the time comes, I'm sure the anxiety level will rise drastically.<br /><br />I've decided I'll audition, because you're right, it would bug me if I didn't try. I'd rather regret messing up than regret being too scaredy cat to even try at all.<br /><br />Italy was lovely. Unfortunately we didn't have time to go to Sicily. Maybe next trip - since we hope to go back someday! ;-)<br /><br />Love,<br />KayaBlakeney Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159136159222855283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2209525367139857595.post-24739386300720907952012-06-04T01:18:29.218-02:302012-06-04T01:18:29.218-02:30Oh Kaya, how awesome, we are sooooo proud of you a...Oh Kaya, how awesome, we are sooooo proud of you and happy for you, you have got to be nervous and excited for sure, you are going to do great I am sure. Oh exciting!!<br /><br />The story ballet sounds neat, I wish we could come up and see you all perform it, I like the way they do the A cast and B cast to get more people involved. You guys are going to have tons of fun with that one. It is very exciting to perform like that, and lots to learn too. What a blessing is that person who gave you guys the sun screen stuff, the girls have to be so excited about getting to perform. <br /><br />That would be a great opportunity for you to do the Junior Company this summer, and would keep you busy too, like you need more to keep you busy, lol .. you just have to at least audition, it would always bug you if you did not try, and I am sure as well as you are doing it would be no problem. Keep us posted for sure. <br /><br />Italy, how awesome, if you have the chance to visit Sicily please tell me all about it, that is where I am from originally, but do not remember a lot about it other than it being home. I would love to go back. You are going to have so much fun at the museum's and sightseeing, what fun. <br /><br />Enjoy yourselves .. <br /><br />Hugs,<br />TarynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2209525367139857595.post-17411782820785265272012-05-13T21:29:30.010-02:302012-05-13T21:29:30.010-02:30Kaya says:
Hi, Marina!
(Wow, that does sound gro...Kaya says:<br /><br />Hi, Marina!<br /><br />(Wow, that does sound grown up - although I'll probably always think of you as Inky.)<br /><br />I'm so excited for you about your performance! I'm sure you'll do a great job. My biggest piece of advice is just to remember to enjoy the dancing. It's so easy to get caught up in the performance aspects and forget the fun of just... going out there and dancing. Try to remember to have fun, and not to just focus on the audience to the exclusion of your own enjoyment. I can't wait to hear about your performance!<br /><br />Our dance school doesn't have regular classes during the summer because so many kids go out of town and stuff, and so we can have a break if we need it. We do have workshops, though. Basically it's like the dance equivalent of summer school. It's not required, but it's helpful because you don't get out of practice and you can learn a lot more because you're spending a lot of the day dancing, rather than just going after school. <br /><br />I don't usually do every single workshop because my family goes out of town in the summer and I go visit my biological family for awhile too, but I do as many as I can, and it's very worthwhile.<br /><br />Good luck to you and Coral, deciding about summer intensives!<br /><br />Don't worry about rambling. We always enjoy hearing about what's going on in your life.<br /><br />Love,<br />KayaBlakeney Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159136159222855283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2209525367139857595.post-55845702751356172552012-05-13T00:48:56.535-02:302012-05-13T00:48:56.535-02:30Hi Kaya!
Wow, that's awesome that you, Cécile...Hi Kaya!<br /><br />Wow, that's awesome that you, Cécile, Marie-Grace, and Fiona are all going to be performing this spring! I wish I could fly up and see you. My school doesn't have a Junior Company- the older students in the school can be apprentices to our parent company. Younger students like me can appear as supernumeraries in the ballets with children. I'm going to be in Midsummer Night's Dream in a few weeks. I'm nervous- I've been in the Nutcracker for three years, but this will be my first time as a fairy.<br /><br />Do you have any tips for performing? I hope you do try out for the Junior Company. Does your school have summer classes? Ours doesn't really, but there is a Summer Intensive program. Most kids don't go to Summer Intensive at their regular school though. I'm hoping I *don't* have to go to a Summer Intensive, but my friend Coral has her fingers crossed for a particular one.<br /><br />Okay, I've rambled on and on about myself, which is quite rude. I wish you the best on your audition!<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />Marina (I think it makes me sound grown-up to use my full name, don't you?)Inkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05140822676840737434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2209525367139857595.post-44314139896485216392012-05-12T06:56:23.391-02:302012-05-12T06:56:23.391-02:30Kaya says:

Then at least I can say I gave it my best shot, rather than being too scared to even attempt it.<br /><br />We'll definitely take pictures!<br /><br />Love,<br />KayaBlakeney Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159136159222855283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2209525367139857595.post-66009904824582674322012-05-12T06:55:10.271-02:302012-05-12T06:55:10.271-02:30Kaya says:

I've thought about it, and I would honestly rather fail miserably than regret not even trying.<br /><br />I'm sure you'll get to travel internationally someday - when you're an adult, if not before, I'm sure you'll find a way. :-)<br /><br />Love,<br />KayaBlakeney Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159136159222855283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2209525367139857595.post-27130218031718979372012-05-12T06:53:51.567-02:302012-05-12T06:53:51.567-02:30Kaya says:

First, of all, congratulations to you, ...Hi Kaya! <br /><br />First, of all, congratulations to you, Cecile, Marie-Grace, and Fiona! I know that getting a large part in a dance is so exciting! It is truly a gift (no pun intended!) that Cecile and Marie-Grace have a chance to perform! Samantha wishes you the very best of luck. We all know that you'll do great!<br /><br />Secondly, you should definitely try out for the Junior Company. It would be an amazing experience, and you could learn so much! You should definitely audition!<br /><br />It's amazing that you're going to Europe. My friends travelled to Europe a few months ago and they said it was beautiful! Make sure to take lots of pictures!<br /><br />Good luck with your dancing!<br /><br />Love,<br />Reese <3Reesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07676214720863467619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2209525367139857595.post-5138277557219331792012-05-11T13:42:26.394-02:302012-05-11T13:42:26.394-02:30Kaya,
