i hope i still have what it takes.

i put on my shoes for the first time today in 10 months. it was actually really scary. but i did it(: evidently, my reputation still precedes me. i was asked to help choreograph one song for our next recital. only, this one song, is an 10 minute masterpiece by Chopin called Ballade No. 1 in G Minor, Op. 23. maybe an easier song would have been nice.. actually, yeah. it would have. but, it's nice to know they trust me so much(: all i'm going to say is that there will be A LOT of nights spent at the studio between now and the recital. just saying. 
oh! we were doing Italian fouettes, 3 1/2 on one side, then sousou-ing and doing the other side; starting right, doing left, then right, then left. i realized just how out of shape i am. dang... it's gonna be hard getting back into this. training time for meghan(: walking on my toes, eating healthy (no more mcdonalds for a while:)), working out. time to start hitting the gym again. but, while i was getting ready for dance today, i decided i was going to post some old pictures of me and my friends from dance. since mostly no one has ever seen any of them. so, here you go(: they are all captioned i think. but blogger sucks with pictures. so they are out of order, simply because i don't want to fight with it right now. so, enjoy(:

this is clarissa,
she's an amazing dancer,
and she's gorgeous.

Nutcracker. December 2010.

one of my favorite pictures of me.

before the nutcracker" :))
