Loving my pointe shoes!

On Sunday, my mom and I did the big job of sewing on the ribbons and elastics on the pointe shoes. It's lot's of work, but now I can dance in my pointe shoes! YAY! I L♥VE my pointe shoes! They are much better for me than my last ones. I can get up on the tips much easier. :)

They're really pretty too! :D I'm excited for Thursday, because it will be my first class with them. I think that my dance teacher will be very impressed. My mom says that they look better on my feet than my old ones!

So, yeah. That's all for now! I just wanted to share my excitement with you. :)

New pointe shoes!!!

Yesterday I got new pointe shoes! It's so exciting! They're called Capezio Tiffanys. They're really pretty! I can't dance around in them yet though, my dance teacher has to approve them first, before sewing on the ribbons and elastics, in case they're not good for me. If we had to return them, we couldn't return them with the ribbons and elastics on them! And you can't dance in pointe shoes without the ribbons and elastics, otherwise they'll just fall of your feet!

I'm so excited to dance in them!!! :) These pointe shoes seem to fit me better than my last ones, so I'm guessing that my dance teacher will approve them! :)

Ok, just a bit ago I watched this amazing video on Youtube of how pointe shoes are made. Type pointe shoes in the Youtube search bar, and it should come up. It's so amazing! I really understand why pointe shoes are pricey, seeing that!

Dance.

Wow. It's crazy to think that I'm on my 8th year of dance. Never once, in all those years have I ever been sick of it.

I just ADORE dancing. It's such a huge part of my life. If I hadn't ever asked my parents if I could go in ballet when I was little, my life would've been completely different.

I'm not sure what you think about dance, whether you think it's amazing (like how I think), or whether you think it's just a waste of time, and there's no point to it. Well.... if you think there's no point to it, you're wrong. First of all, it can be used to worship God. I've actually choreographed and then performed dances for church a couple of times, and I will in the future too! :) Also, dance keeps you fit, and, well.... it's FUN! So much fun! When I'm dancing, I often smile, not just because I'm told to, because you need expression when performing, but because I'm enjoying myself, and I'm so grateful that I'm in dance! :)

Everyone has those few special activities that they just love. One of mine is DEFINETLY dance! ♥

Christmas Already??

I've posted one collage of me playing piano, that I made of the family photos that we did. I tried posting another picture, but it was taking forever to load, so I'll try again some other time.

I've been doing lots of pianos songs, and they're all so fun! I'm learning a lot of worship songs for praise team at school, I'm playing songs from The Royal Conservatory, (which are very beautiful, an there's lots of classical, familiar pieces, which I enjoy playing), and I also just started Christmas songs! I know, it's crazy to think that I'm already doing Christmas, but in music, you have to start early for Christmas, so you have time to practice your songs!

Also, another thing about Christmas, in our Company Ballet class we're doing a dance to the song "Let it Snow" which I'm sure you know that song! :) We're going to perform it at the Christmas Tree lighting! I'm very excited about that!
