Years of Auditions

2011

PNB-
My first audition. I freaked out and cried. So that went really well.

2012

The Rock-
I still swear the directors said to each other, "I don't like her," while looking at me.
SAB-
I fell on my butt
PNB-
Nothing to report
ABT-
The teacher was from Eugene Ballet
SFB-
Nope.
Harid-
I don't even know.

2013

SAB-
Still can't do a entre sha six
PNB-
Turned the wrong way on a balance because they were playing Les Mis
SFB-
The correct pronunciation of coupe is COOP

The rest were a video audition that sucked.

Hopefully this year will be better. Ha.

University of Utah

The University of Utah is the only college I'm currently looking at. It is connected to the ballet company, Ballet West. This company is known for being the focus of the television show, "Breaking Pointe." The school works closely with the company, and students get to dance with the company. I have a tour of the campus set up and while I'm in Salt Lake City, I would audition for Ballet West's summer intensive. The problem with this, is that the next day in Los Angeles, is the audition for Pacific Northwest Ballet, which I really would like to attend. So I will probably be flying to SLC one day then the next day flying into LAX for the PNB audition. It'll be an expensive weekend!

Chicago

Next week I'm going to Chicago to dance. I'll miss a week of school but I get to dance with some of my dance teachers favorite teachers from her youth. I'm staying with a teacher from the Joffrey. She is from Venezuela and made me cry once. So that should be fun. I'll also be auditioning for some summer programs while I'm there. San Francisco Ballet, Kaatsbaan, Miami City Ballet, Houston Ballet, and I can't remember the other one! After I get back, I'm driving to Seattle for the American Ballet Theater Audition, so it should be a tiring week.

Happy Birthday Dad!

Today is my dad's birthday. He turned old. Like really old. But really.

Today my dad turns 69 years old. No joke, that's a 51 year age difference between the two of us. But I don't care if my dad was born when Hitler was still around, or that he was around before the civil rights movement was around, my dad is an amazing, smart, hard working guy, that made a life for my my mom and me from his determination to escape his home town, a tiny little town in Minnesota. Even though you grew up without a dad, dad, you're still the best dad that I could imagine. <3
Btw you look pretty dang good for 69

Winter

I'm busy.
But I saw Maria Kochetkova in Nutcracker.

It was magical.

I really like San Francisco.

Bye.
