Lol no problem, it's happened to me before, and I'm still not sure if I checked everything.... ;P

Yeah, sure is! The Grade for exam (summer school) classes are over, but the rehearsals for Sapphire will be as long, if not longer, sooo.... I have fun, but it's very time-consuming :( It's on the 21st of July- I'm already looking forward to it! (Yep, I absolutely get it, it's like, I too sore to move and I'm dying and I love it because it means I've worked hard). Nah, it's not really that obvious, it's just that all my irl friends also dance, so I'm used to talk to people who know the terminology, sorry! Pointe work is when you dance on the very tips of your toes. You have special shoes that are hard around the area where your toes are and flattened off at the front so you can stand. It's meant to make your legs look longer and make you look lighter. You have toepads to put over your feet to make it less painful, but it still hurts.... the shoes have to be pretty tight around your toes, and if the toe pads slip it can feel like the skin around the joints of your toes is being ripped off..... the joints around your big toes are always put under a lot of pressure and after a while you also really start to feel it in the tips of your otes- they're not meant to be stood on! Plus you get blisters, just look at the images of a dancer's feet on instagram or pinteres of something.... or maybe not, it's kinda gruesome lol. (Sorry if I didn't explain very well, maybe look it up if it was hard to understand? There are like a billion ankles-down shots of dancers tanding en Pointe, that might be clarify it if I explained badly- sorry if I did) Ripples are when you have a group of dancers and they all do the same steps, but not at the same time, one after the other, usually with some order/rhyme and reason to it. It's also know as a sequence or a cademce action- you might have heard it referred to as that before? They look absolutely AWESOME and are a lot of fun to dance.
