Dancers

Taken from Email #1, 5/24/11

okay, wow. we just watched the 8 year olds who were training to become professionals for a second rehearse. WOW. I'm pretty sure those girls don't have spines. They're some of the most amazing dancers I've ever seen in my life and they're EIGHT. ridiculous. for those of you who speak dance: one of the girls raised her leg up in arabesque and just kept going and going until it was at about a 160 degree angle with her other leg (mind you, her back was still up, then was no penchee) then she reached her arms up behind her head and grabbed it and pulled it straight to 180. I've seen people do that from a scorpion but never lifted straight from arabesque! They're amazing. We also walked into the studio for a meeting today and met the company we'll be working with, we walked in and this huge room full of people started clapping for us. :)


 We each stood in front of the group and introduced ourselves, then we all went around trying to get to know them. I can only imagine how amazing these guys are after seeing the 8 year olds dance! Payden sang lady gaga for them, and Jenny sang them a song too, they're both in the BFA musical theatre program so they're pretty darn amazing. 



 The boys were all really shy except for two or three of them, one of the brave ones did a chopstick dance for us and then suddenly the whole company started yelling out "MICHAEL JACKSON!!!" and pushing one guy out in front of us, he did a great michael jackson dance for us, so funny! 




 haha, I was planning on teaching them a little hiphop but I don't think that's going to be necessary anymore.
