CELEBRATION XD

Nope. Ballet takes about three months usually... which I've never really understood... it's like, seriously?! Is their postman WALKING?! I live in Asia, not on the Moon!

Oh well. Yay :) Only eighteen days to go- it's on the 21st :)

Also oof. Jazz is REALLY frustrating right now. My teacher basically thinks none of us can dance, nothing is ever good enough for her, I'm pretty sure in her head she's comparing us to the teachers and older girls in our piece who have double or more the experience, plus she's Japanese and speaks literally no English, which means we A) never understand her corrections and have no idea what we're doing wrong, B) the counts are complicated, especially since we have a huge group and a lot of it is in canon (a sharper version of ripple, where everyone starts a certain amount of counts apart rather than letting the whole movement just wave along like with ripples), C) some of the steps are kinda confusing, but of course she can't really explain them with her lacking English and D) whenever she was teaching us somehting new, or lets us do the steps without the music, she always counts differently than the music does, so we need to reapply that ourselves, which, in a big group, when the counts are already complicated... well, you can imagine how well that tends to work. Literally the only thing she did yesterday during rehearsal was scream "No!". Oh, and she ripped at her hair and buried her face in her hands a bit, but that was it.
