I LOVE NUVO. first of all, it's what Jump used to be when they actually wanted you to have fun at jump. Ray Leeper is SO inspirational and really cares that people are getting a good experience ( unlike gil. ) TRAVIS WALL'S CLASS<3333333 goodness gracious I LOVED it. The song was Windowdipper by Jib Kidder and the beginning of it is all computer sounds. it was rediculous. Justin Giles is sooo cute and he taught a combo to rob pattinson's never think. it made me smilee. I didn't like Ivan Koumaev as much as I had hoped... he was really hard to learn from. But Will, the demonstrator= yum. amazing dancer, not bad on the eyes, hopefully straight. And can I mention my extreme love for mark meisemer!?! his sultry jazz combo to he's a dream was HOTT and I cant stop doing it in my head! Best 2 day convention I've been to in years hands down. NYCDA is this weekend... I'm excited to take class from Jason Parsons especially. His choreography is killer. Apparently Sabra Johnson is making a guest appearance teaching an optional class, but she's not teaching any 'real' classes. soo I'm a little bumbed about that. Oh well. full report when I get back from that!

they renewed my scholarship and accepted me back into the program without auditioning me :]
although I'm a little sad cause I like taking audition class. And I was hoping to see someone I knew. oh well, much easier that way!


soo much on my plate right now!

still here.

I'm just not sure anymore.
I cant wait to get out of here
and be in charge of myself.
I want to go out west and
just explore for a little.
But I'm also terrified
of being on my own. For
now I'll just have to keep
up this fantasy in my head
a little bit longer, but as soon
as I can, things will change.

weird weather.

It felt like spring today. It gave me a taste of how happy I get during spring and how much I like to be social. I was definately in a better mood today than normal. Too bad its supposed to snow tomorrow :[ It went from 20 degrees to 60 and now back down to 20 tomorrow.
I hope you bought me a rose. I don't think I like you like that anymore, but I don't like the idea of 'sharing' you. You're pretty much my best friend and we've had such fun times together. And I once did think of you in a way more than friends, but I realized it wouldn't have worked anyways. You're too flirty and I'd probably get jealous easily. I don't like all the attention you give her. I wish I was still your best friend the way I used to be. Can we go back to that?

LONG weekend. actually the past two weekends have been looonngg. Urban Jamm was decent. I got a 10th place gold for my solo, which kind of sucked I guess but at least I got a gold and not a high silver. Jump was inspiring to say the least. In Fusion dance studio is AMAAZINGG I want to joinnn them. Mahkala Ross of course was amazing but Mia from their studio is rediculous. Theres others from other studios that stuck out too, especially Miranda Maleski, but she doesn't connect to the music I feel that Mia does. We had a long talk at the studio tonight about how to get more energy in our competition dances. I was glad my quartet did best out of all of our dances. We need a teacher who can really help us get better. :/

...

Well there goes that dream.

I feel alone. I've never felt this alone in my life. I'm scared.
I want someone to care.

It feels like quick sand is sucking me in. At this point I might as well let it.


Get Me Out Of This Hell Hole Please.

what does it mean?

You did something to get my attention yesterday before you left. what did it mean? its been driving me a little mad, because when you did that, I got that feeling like there was something from the old days. The look on your face... it just wasn't how you've been recently. I think you wanted to say something else, but it was an awkward pause. then you asked about something random.. so I just don't know what to think. I am regretting this snow day... I was sort of looking forward to seeing if something would happen today.

Am I on your mind too?
My sixth sense is telling me its a possibility.

floating higher than any hot air balloon...

AHHH I still cant believe what happened to me yesterday. I got a scholarship! And not just some dinky scholarship, THEY PICKED ME as a semi-finalist for the MONSTERS show!!!!!!! My hard work yesterday paid off.

Monsters of Contemporary:

First off, scholarship aside, the convention was awesome. It was a one day event with some of the most talented contemporary choreographers out there. We started the day off with Will Wingfield (from SYTYCD) who taught us ways to warm our bodies up. Then he taught us a combo to this really intense version of Lux Aeterna which was really hard but so fun.

Next we had Wes Veldink. One word: LOOVEE. We had him at West Coast Dance Explosion a few years ago and I loved him there too, but yesterday we did a combo to taxi by kate nash which gave him automatic points from me. and the combo was awessommmeee.

After lunch they had a seminar thing where the talked to us about auditions and gave advice about what to do if you want to be the LA dancer. we came in kind of late from lunch so I didnt hear everything but it was pretty inspiring.

Next was class with SONYA TAYEH<33 we did this crazy combo to bodies hit the floor by dj sega. i loved the combo and i was going so full out but when I had to get on stage at the end of the day to be taped, I kind of didn't remember the dance due to my nerves. I didnt mess up too bad on stage but man I've never been so nervous in my entire life.


Next was Jillian Meyers. The class was different to say the least, but I couldn't ignore how amazing the syncapation of her moves flowed with the music. I've never danced like that before but it was really cool.

Last but not least we had Matt Cady from Fanny pack. He was pretty cool but his choreography was kind of tricky. I liked it though it looked really neat on some people.

The bad part about getting picked was that I didn't get to watch any of the faculty's solos or the special performance from fanny pack :[ Oh well I think what I got was definately worth it. It was my first scholarship ever. I think the thing that calmed me down back stage was when sonya was about to go do her solo and she was saying how she hated doing that becasue she was so nervous. It made me feel a lot better... well I've never been so happy wiht myself. now I just have to wait a few months to find out if this will go any further. It'd be neat if it did, but I'm not expecting anything.

Back to reality tomorrow
