Anonymous said: quick question.. how is running bad for ballet dancers? and im so happy for you that youre starting up dance again!
Thank you!! And I read online a couple times that it can kind of hurt turnout a little bit, and trains the wrong muscles. I’m not sure if this is true, but I know plenty of dancers that run (myself included) and they are just fine :)

Good News!!
My mom got a new job! And I signed up for advanced intensives at a studio much closer to home! I am super excited to see how it turns out, and it seems like a great place. Hopefully, in the fall I will be able to enroll there :)

Stay away from fatty and sugary foods. And do some simple things such as switch your white bread to whole grain/wheat bread. If you subscribe to Seventeen magazine, they always have some really good recipes to try, and they also have tons of exercises that will help you to lose weight and trim/tone certain areas. You can also try walking or running. I’ve heard running is bad for ballet dancers, but I do it two or three times a week anyway :P

I have a friend who is going with me but we might not be in the same classes as she's en pointe but I'm not... Also, I worry I won't be as fit as all the other ballerinas... do you have any advice?
Just treat it like a normal class, because it is, just in the summer! The teachers are there to help you and don’t worry about anyone else in the class :) You will have fun!

Anonymous said: oh my. my dress rehearsals were tonight and last night. I messed up so bad in ballet and hip hop and I did okay in tap. i'm so scared for the recital. the only thing is, in ballet & hip hop almost everyone was messing up. idk. im just scared. everyone at school does like 7 classes and comp team and they do so well and i only do 3 classes. i feel like such a failure. :(
You are not a failure at all! Everyone has moments like these! Even professionals! Just don’t worry and keep going over your choreography at home, and it will carry over on stage :) The more nervous you are, the less fun you have. Dancing is all about having fun! You will do great!
Just wanted to say I love each of you and your endless support keeps a smile on my face :) I’m still looking for a new studio for next year…hoping one comes up!
I’m not going to be on much for the next two weeks. Lots of tests, finals, horse stuff, and last dance recital coming up. But after that, I’m free of school and will be making confessions again! The ask box will still be open for questions and things :)

Thank you! I’m trying my best! <3
