The youngest ketchman

Rehearsals day two and competition

This morning I wake up and get changed into my blue aldc tank top and booty shorts, make my bed and brush my teeth. I go through where my mom does my hair into braids that cross over at the back that go into buns. Then she also adds two blue bows at the back of the buns. After I head through for breakfast. I have some cereal and orange juice. I then grab my dance bag and put my shoes on. We then leave to go to the studio.

Once we arrive at the studio we say hello to miss Abby at the front desk then go through into the den. I take if my shoes and go through to jazz class. We work on leaps and turns. I'm so happy that I got my triple pirouette. After I have a technique private with miss gianna. My private lasts a hour then we both go through to start the group. "Okay so the group is acro called Arabian nights. Now everyone in this room can do acro quite well so we shouldn't have a problem with the choreography. Let's start" I really love the group dance since acro is one of my best styles. It takes us about a hour and a half to learn and perfect the group and then we all go home. Once we arrive home I have some pizza again then I head to bed.
