Ogden

Most of you know I am a dancer. Yesterday I went to Ogden for a tour with my dance company. It was sooooooo much fun!!!!!!!!!! I had to get to the dance studio at 6:30am and the buses picked us up at 6:45. It was a very long, boring bus ride but, I managed to have fun anyway. When we finally got there we went straight to our dressing rooms. My friends and I all found a great spot in our room. We were then called up to the stage to figure out spacing. While the whole company was rehearsing finale, people started to come in to watch the show. Luckily, we weren't in our costumes and weren't doing it to music, so we didn't really give it away.

After our first performance we had lunch. Every one brought their lunch and Abigail, Amelia and I ate lunch outside. Then we saw our music director Mr. Tristan. He was sitting alone so we invited him to come over and eat lunch with us. We talked to him about all the music he makes and a lot of other stuff too.

Then we all had to come in and do another performance. After that, everyone got in their sweats and came on stage with their blankets and pillows to watch a movie. We had to vote to watch either Finding Nemo or Night at The Museum. Of course most everyone wanted to watch Night at The Museum. After the movie the teachers did a count down from 100 to 1. We do that so we can take a nap or have quiet time. If anyone makes a noise, the teachers have to start from 100 again. Finally after that was over, we had diner. It was sooooooo good!!!!! We had potatoes, chili, broccoli,lemonade and cookies. It was a wonderful diner!!!

After that we got ready for our next performance. It was great!!! My dance is called Atoms and Molecules. We have crazy costumes that look like something from the Jetson's. Our skirts have hula hoop type stuff in them that make them circular and bouncy. The dance is in constant motion. We never stop moving and going in and out of patterns. It is exhausting, but fun!

And then, a long drive home. We got home at 10pm. I slept so good after my fun, exhausting day!
