So I was really excited about a few things this weekend. First monday I had my kick boxing class which I was surprised at how well it went. My arms were sore for two days because of how many push ups we did. I took this class with a friend from work at the park district. Also I talked to the park district about teaching a dance class and they are looking to start an adult dance class, which I am a little nervous for but I think it would be so much fun since it is what I really want to do.

I got my dance pictures in from recital. I have a lot more than what is up these are just my favorites. The show was at Governors State University and this was my last recital with Creative Dance Studio. I am moving on to another studio, Hubbard Street Dance. Which I did go there thursday to buy my card and I am going to be starting classes this week which I am so excited for. While we were there we were watching this advanced ballet class. I haven't been dancing for two weeks so I am really anxious to start again.

Friday was John's Birthday and I was really happy with the gift I bought him. My dad helped me pick out this nice tool set to help him with his carpentry. We didn't really do much for his birthday. We went out to eat at Bostons, which they had a nice choice of food but our waitress took forever to bring john his lemonade. He asked for a lemonade when we got our food and didn't get it until we finished eating so he wasn't happy about that. So after we ate we went to best buy and bought the sims 3. The sims 3 and Spore are the two computer games that me john always play together. I play on my laptop and he plays on his computer.

The new sims game is crazy and fun. There are so many more things you can customize and now you can add traits to your characters. There are all sorts of traits and it affect the sim in the game and how they interact with others and how they live there daily life. It has been pretty hard for me but a lot of fun. We spent like five our playing the game the first day. It gets so addicting.

I had to work saturday night but I was off by ten but tonight, Sunday, I have to work until close which is eleven. I am just hoping to make some money. I spent about 700 dollars just within these couple weeks. So now I have to work hard and make extra tips to make up for it. Lastly, last night I was playing halo with john, his friend, and his brother. Now I am not good at this game at all. Especially when your playing with people who are not pro but might as well be when it comes to me. So we played that for a long time and I was actually having fun with it. Usually I am always getting killed and losing I get tired of it. So that was my weekend/week and I have plenty to look forward to!

So I just wanted to write a blog on my dancing. I mentioned it a little before but I never really talked about it in a whole blog.  When I was younger I never really thought about dancing. I was just one of those girls who put music on and danced around in her room. I did gymnastics on and off for a while but never really got into it. I tried poms in high school and really liked it but wanted something different. I started at a studio just trying hip hop.

It didn't take long for me to see how much I really enjoyed dancing and how this was me. It is so hard to find a sport, activity, or hobby that you really like doing and you could do it everyday. I think one of my major distractions from work or homework is because I want to start dancing. I want to start making choreography. I went from taking a basic hip hop class one summer to taking ballet, point, advanced hip hop, modern, and tap.

Out of all these I really love point and even though it is such a hard style of dance, I love the beauty of it. I think because it is very difficulty, especially for me, it makes me want to work harder and become better at it. I have also love hip hop. It is so much fun and pretty easy for me to choreograph. Modern is something I am new to but I love it. Some people don't like it but I do. I think it is so unique and could be so corky. I would really like creating a modern hip hop dance. I love seeing these two styles mixed.

So dancing at the studio for about four years and having a total of five years of dance I am starting at a new studio downtown and I am really nervous but I am hoping this will bring me closer to being able to teach dance. I would really love to do this as a part time job along with graphic design. I am really disappointed that they don't have point. But I am hoping to find somewhere I can take point at. The one thing that I do like about this studio is they have classes like basic and beginners but you move up to advanced levels. once you are at the advanced levels you can audition for shows or anything like that.

I have always had kind of a little dream. I thought that it would be so much fun to be a back up dance in music videos. Mainly hip hop but I am really nervous to audition for stuff like that. I hope to one day try it because I think that it would be really fun and something beneficial to me for teaching dance. Honestly if I could photograph dancers, that would be amazing. I love shooting action shots. I would always ask the girls who really have skills if they could do different things for me and I would photograph them. I just love doing dance photography.
