Dancing Through Life

Jeff Sterling. Older twin, 17 years old. Dance major at Dalton Fine Arts Academy. I'm a big fan of fairy tales and I enjoy things such as Disney movies and Once Upon a Time that allow me to go into those worlds. If you watch Disney movies with me and eat chocolate chip cookies, my heart is yours forever. "If you hear music, dance." - Sleeping Beauty

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Senator Sterling.

[dancingjeff]

You're such a dork. And I love it.

[cosette-berry-blog]

YES! Let’s get a marathon going! I’ll bring Eponine!

[dancingjeff]

Eponine? Is that your cat? But yes, let's do it! I'll warn you though, I know almost the whole musical so I may be singing. A lot.

[dancingjeff]

Being surrounded by all of this 'Next to Normal' my obsession with Aaron Tveit has returned. Les Mis, anyone...?

[cosette-berry-blog]

So I found a link to 'Next to Normal' on youtube...

[cosette-berry-blog]

By the end of the first 20 minutes of the musical, I knew for a fact that I wasn’t emotionally ready for the end to come. It was beyond amazing!

[dancingjeff]

Every time I hear the first few notes of "I'm Alive" I get chills because that song is so amazing and just so intense at the same time. Plus, Aaron Tveit. Talk about the total package.

I watched it yesterday, before rehearsals started. 

My head is still reeling. I can’t wait to really get into these rehearsals.

[dancingjeff]

I did that too! Wasn't it amazing?

[cosette-berry-blog]

Did you really? Oh, well I’m really honored! Ha, thank you, Jeff! 

[dancingjeff]

You're very welcome, Cosette!

[blue-jay-sterling]

I try to be funny…and fail often. Oh well.

[dancingjeff]

And you succeed often!

[cosette-berry-blog]

Congrats, Jeff! It looked really cool!

[dancingjeff]

Thank you! Yours looked awesome as well. Actually, you're who I voted for.

[dancingjeff]

3rd Place in the door contest?! Thank you guys so much!

[dancingjeff]

I'm kind of nervous about seeing the cast list. I think I did well in my audition, but you never know.

[blue-jay-sterling]

What have I gotten myself into? I’m just kidding.

[dancingjeff]

Sure you are.

[cosette-berry-blog]

I'm so done with my math class.

[cosette-berry-blog]

Thank goodness they follow so quickly behind. Um, I’m not entirely sure yet. I’m not all that familiar with the musical. What about you?

[dancingjeff]

I'm wasn't very familiar with it either so I looked it up and did some research. I was interested in Gabe but I know Aaron Tveit has played that part and with his amazing voice, that's kind of intimidating. So I was thinking perhaps Henry would be the better choice. I'm not sure if I should take a risk or not...

[blue-jay-sterling]

Alright Jeff, calm down…

[dancingjeff]

Never!

[singingpuppies]

I can't get use to Addams Family being over.

[singingpuppies]

I think when you live at a school of the arts and there are important auditions coming up, people understand.

[dancingjeff]

Very true. The perks of attending this school! But do you think that song qualifies as more of a ballad or an upbeat? I have a few in my repertoire and I just want to make sure I'm choosing the right ones.

[singingpuppies]

I can't get use to Addams Family being over.

[singingpuppies]

Are you excited for your audition tomorrow? It’s a great show…

[dancingjeff]

I'm definitely excited! I'm singing I Believe from The Book of Mormon for one of my songs so I've been practicing it all night. I hope my neighbors don't mind...

[dancingjeff]

I feel especially bored tonight.

And I kind of miss Charlie.

[cosette-berry-blog]

I'm so done with my math class.

Maybe it’s my impatience with the course as a whole, but I hate the teacher, I hate the class, I hate the desks, I even hate the pencil I use for the class. I need like a week-long break.

At least the musical is announced tomorrow, that should be interesting.

[dancingjeff]

I'm excited for it as well! What part are you thinking of going for?
