*Update* 3/12

Hey everyone! I have some super exciting news, well, exciting for me anyways :). Today I was told that in three weeks we will be evaluated for pointe and we will have auditions for the Jr. Corps. I'm so excited! I was a little worried that I would be too old for the Jr. Corps, as most of them are 11-14, but my dance teacher said they had a few older girls join in past years if they recently move there or started late.



The evaluation will be like a ballet class taught by one of the Seniors in the Senior Corps. (She was our snow queen in Nut). My dance teacher asked a guest pro dancer, the Cavalier in our Nut, to come so both of them can evaluate the class. I'm so excited, but I hope I don't get nervous and mess up! At that class, we will also fill out a form if we want to join the Corps, and it will also be like an audition and evaluation all in one ballet class. She said they look that you are physically and mentally prepared. Also, she likes girls to be around 11-12, but that doesn't really effect me.

Are any of you starting pointe soon? Have you already started pointe? Share your experiences or ask questions in the comments! Happy Dancing!
