2nd run thru rehearsal

Today was my run through rehearsal. Me and mom got McDonalds for breakfast. I am in act 1 and 2, so I was there all day. For the first part of act 1, we practiced the Finale. We practiced the bow and Pre-Pro 1 through 4, staff and crew practiced running out and bowing. Then, we ran the dances. My Jazz dance was cool. We ran all the dances twice. Then, lunchtime was at 12 noon-1. I went to get my salad. After lunch, I went to get ready for act II. We did the same thing as act 1 for the finale (We took bows).I did my tap dance. The executive director said we weren’t smiling and we looked like a chain gang. We did it again and smiled. One of the volunteer moms came back after a few dances and went over some recital business with us. Before run thrus for both acts, The executive and artistic directors told us about recital business about how to act and how to behave backstage. They told us all that went to my dance school last year (me included) that they don’t want a repeat of last year’s finale. People were talking. The executive director told us that we should be quiet because they want the finale to be a surprise to the audience. Well, I wrote in my dance journal and chilled. In the studio we held run thrus in, you couldn’t wear your tap shoes, so all of us in the tap groups had to take them off. We could wear our Jazz or Ballet shoes, though. I wore the black jazz shoes I wore to the Freedom Fund Dinner for my tap dance. For Jazz class, which is in the first act (Tap’s in the 2nd), I wore my Tan jazz shoes. Well, More later!!

Girl Power!!
