comps, eyelashes, and wings

[tappingsweetie]

okay, so today was comps. i've been dreading these since we started learning the piece we were bringing. basically, i hate the piece we brought today with a firey passion. even though we got a gold (not as good as it sounds, i promise) and a judge's award (better than it sounds).

i have learned a few things from today. first of all, i enjoy wearing

Hey! Congrats! That's awesome that you guys did so well at the comps, even though you say it's 'not as good as it sounds'. Pfffft. Sounds GREAT to me! =)
Fake eyelashes are the coollest looking things ever, eh? They feel kind of weird for a start though - but they look amazing, so it's all good.
Hehehe. Wings. I reckon singles (on one foot) are easier to learn than doubles - you practise the swish out-brush-back together motion (without the jumpy, hop thing) over and over - and then try to do them while holding onto a barre (so you can hold onto it for dear life!). Then when you get used to having to roll your foot, you can try doing them without support. And yay. =D I suck at explaining, sorry.
Yeah, but that's so cool about the comps! So you enjoyed them?

Yeah, it was a lot of fun. I still don't like the piece we brought and so on, but I had a good time. It was cool to see so many different dancers/dances, and yeah... it was fun.
Haha, I do understand what you're saying about wings. Haha. I guess I could try to teach myself, but it'd be so much easier if I had someone to listen/watch. haha. I know wings make three sounds, but if I try to teach myself there's no guarantee I'm doing them right.
