Vanessa The Dance Fairy

The music festival on Rainspell Island was going on. Rachel and Kirst were both ecstatic to see their favorite band, ‘The Angels’ perform.  The next celebrity they're going to see is ‘Sasha Sharp’, a choreographer and her assistant, ‘Tamara’ who were both going to teach kids how to dance. As the girls were putting on their dance shoes, they saw Vanessa The Choreography FAiry.

She told them that The Dance Fairies are at the music festival, and they’ve spotted some of the patrons dancing awkwardly. If they don’t get the music clef, Sasha Sharp’s show will be a disaster.

All of the sudden, Sasha’s ankle started to hurt badly. Tamara told everyone to meet back at the dance stage at six pm. Rachel and Kirsty noticed that some of the goblins were dancing perfectly because they stole the magic clef. They turned into fairies and looked for the goblins, who were on the beach.

Kirsty got an idea. She asked Vanessa to turn her and Rachel into a goblin. While they were arguing about who gets the clef, Kirsty and Rachel snuck by and got the clef. A goblin grabbed it from their hand and they changed back to normal. One of the goblins grabbed the clef back

After escaping, Kirsty decided she should disguise herself as Tamara while getting the clef back. Disguised as Tamara, she held a contest for the goblins to see who is the best dancer. 

Rachel and Vanessa secretly flew towards the goblins with the magic clef and stole it while they were dancing. Just then, Kirsty turned back into her real self. That’s when the goblins knew they were tricked.

As the silly goblins were arguing over who’s fault it was, Rachel, Kirsty and Vanessa flew away in fairy form.

At Six pm, Sasha made her decision on who should be in her show, ALL OF THEM. 

During her dance show, Vanessa did a little magic to make sure that Sasha’s show goes perfectly smoothly.

The End.

Remembering What Might Have Been

Remembering What Might Have Been

There was a moment there, in the early days of last year, where it felt like we could have had something different. In looking back at my posts from then, I see how we were poised on this needle of possibility. There was a funny kind of hope – a kind of excitement almost – that we could fundamentally alter how we do things. We could turn our weird dystopia of an experience upside down and have a…

12 Items Every Serious Classical Dancer Needs

Dancing is an art form that many consider to be both a performing art and a sport. Dancing requires not just a resume and headshot, but some serious stamina as well. Utilizing the proper dancewear can greatly minimize the risk of injury while dancing.

Shoes

During an audition you never know what kind of dancing you'll be asked to perform, so it is important to bring a variety of shoes. In addition to your basic ballet slippers or jazz shoes, make sure to pack shoes for all the specialty dance forms you can do, such as tap or pointe work. A choreographer may suddenly want to see a different style, even if it wasn't specified in the audition notice, especially if your résumé indicates that you can do it. Ladies should also always have something with a heel.

Hair Ties

Though not in all cases, in most cases a dancer will need to have securely tied hair. Classical dancers in particular need to be meticulous in sporting a neat hairstyle that will stay in place and not interfere with the look or execution of their movements. Be sure to pack a small bag of hair essentials including hairpins, hair ties, and hair spray. Hair ties have been known to snap easily, and the last thing you want during an audition is hair in your face.

A Foot Stretcher

Dancers can sometimes lose foot flexibility in the arch. Using a quality foot stretcher regularly will help to maintain a strong arch.

Tights

Dancers often must wear tights during their performances. Dance tights are stretchy and easy to move in, but they also help to prevent blisters. In case of tears, runs, stains, or excessive sweating, you want to have a pair of backup tights.

A Turnboard

Master your pirouettes by practicing on a turnboard. Turnboards are a great tool that will help you to complete full or multiple rotations while you focus on spotting, balance, and posture.

Leotards

A basic leotard is especially useful during rehearsals or auditions. Leotards both make it easier for the dancer to move and for the instructor to see body placement.

Makeup

You may not wear makeup to class or rehearsal, but you'll be wearing it to auditions. Carry a small makeup bag for auditions just in case you need to do a touch-up.

Resistance Bands

Dancers need to be very flexible. To increase or maintain your flexibility and range of motion, look into getting some resistance bands. Inexpensive and highly effective, this is something that every dancer should use regularly.

Portable Ballet Barre

A portable ballet barre is a great buy for any serious dancer who wants to continue practicing outside of their rehearsals. The double barre is preferred over the single, as it will better assist you with stretching, port de bras, grand plies, etc. Get one of these for your home studio and see your flexibility improve.

Reading Material

Auditions can take forever and rehearsals can go even longer. For the downtime, always have a good book or magazine with you.

Snacks

A dancer’s schedule can often include long sessions. On the days when you're not sure when you’ll be able to grab something to eat, be sure to bring your own snacks from home on a regular basis.

Deodorant

Don’t be that person who is stinking up the dance studio. Keep a stick of deodorant in your bag at all times.
