Day 11 on 1-11-11 :)

Today was a very nice yet very cold day! Brrrrrrr! I am excited and also super scared for our performance tomorrow... Ahhhh! But hopefuuly lunch with the lovely Kristen will help calm my nerves!

I practiced voice tonight with my recording from yesterday with Kurt. It of course is not the same without him telling me what I am doing wrong but still I got a great vocal warm-up! He threw some new patterns at me yesterday that challenged me today! just when I thought I had mastered this specific one that was so hard he told me to flip it around and do it backwards... Ahhh!!
28 minutes

repertoire- Today I just worked on In My Own Little Corner and Stepsister's Lament both from Cinderella bc I am pretty sure that is what I am singing tomorrow at the ABQ Living Center... 

Successes – I feel much more confident singing In My Own Little Corner today which is good since I will be singing it in front of people who probably watched Julie Andrews sing it when it came on television.... the first time. :) got a lot to live up to.

Areas for improvement – I Cannot seem to get a handle on the words for Stepsister's Lament.... don't know what it is... I am going to look over it a couple more times after I post this!

Notes: I can feel myself pushing myself... not sure how much better i am getting tho.... kinda down about my voice today but... oh well.... I'll get over it...

Hmmmm Healthy Eating.... ate absolutely nothing healthy today! maybe that is why I feel like poo!

Dance/Personal Fitness

Date/time - 1/11/11 at 5:30 to 7:05

Type of class – Jazz/ Contemporary

Difficulty Level - Intermediate

Studio - Maple Street Dance space
What did you most enjoy? – I picked up the choreography really fast and that was nice! A woman I have know since BBL (before broken legs) told me what a blessing it is to see me dancing and that reminded me how incredibly blessed I am! Thank you God!

What did you find challenging and why? – Grand Plie in fourth is pretty hard for me still :( and I still need to remember to focus on my arm movement... it is still getting all Salsa dancey!!

Observations –  Fletcher has a really great way of explaining people's flaws in dance... I took note today of how he gently told someone that they were not doing something right....
