Dancing With The Stars |Dreams That Glitter

Can I please draw your attention to this incredible woman? This is Amber Riley, best known for playing Mercedes Jones on Glee. She’s currently a contestant in the american reality show ‘Dancing With The Stars’ and doing such an amazing job! I was so excited when I found out she’d be on this show, because Strictly Come Dancing is one of my favourite tv shows and since this is just the american version I was over the moon. It combines two of my favourite things, Glee and dancing. I had a feeling Amber was going to be good on here because of all the choreography they do on Glee, but that has nothing on this choreography. This is her first performance, a cha cha cha to ‘Wings’ which I think is her best so far although the show is now on week three. She completely smashed this performance! I really hope she goes far and I think she will!

Dance Company Update |Dreams That Glitter

Look what my fabulous friend Amy made! Isn’t she clever?;)

I just got some rather exciting news…. I got into the school dance company! I’m so happy and can’t wait to start rehearsals on Tuesday! I don’t think my audition went quite as well as it could have to be honest but I guess that doesn’t matter because I got in as long as I keep working hard and put lots of effort in. I’m getting a copy of the video of my solo from the audition from my teacher, I forgot to take in my memory stick earlier in the week and then my teacher wasn’t in, so hopefully I’ll get hold of that on Tuesday and post it here if I can bare it. Hopefully there’s an improvement at least in the performance side of it from the other video I posted from Sunday. I’ve just realised this now means on Tuesdays I’m going to be in school over 9 hours from 7.15 – 4.30…. that’s not a nice thought. Trampolining at 7.15, I then have PE and Dance in the day and then dance company after… I shouldn’t complain though should I?! With the help of coffee and some kind of energy filled foods I’m sure I’ll get through it all. And then probably an early night. Anyway, we’re working towards a show in December called ‘Night at the Movies’ and we’re doing pieces from the Matrix and Slumdog Millionaire, so it should be good!

A bit of a ballet update here while I’m at it… Pointe is going really well, I can actually do things without clutching onto the barre for dear life, hooray! My friend Maisie (I’ve mentioned her a few times before) has started ballet and been coming to the Inter Foundation class I do before pointe, and she’s doing really well so yay for that too! And my teacher is clearly already considering her a favourite which is always a bonus. 😉

Ok I think that’s it for now… Happy Friday! Hope you all have a fabulous weekend. 🙂 xxx

Never Miss A Chance To Dance|Dreams That Glitter

These are some photos from Saturday, taken by Maisie (highstreetspy.wordpress.com) when we were dancing in the studio. We’re taking every opportunity we have to go and practice, we’re going again on Friday… I’m going to my nana’s on Saturday until the following Sunday, which means probably no exercise or dance for a whole week, what am I going to do?!
