Today, Angelina tried out for a part in Cinderella, presented by The Missoula Children's Theatre, a traveling theatre company that brings direction and all the costumes needed for the performance. It's a one week commitment - perfect from my stand-point! Practices are from 1:00-5:30p each day this week (depending somewhat upon the parts) and the two performances on Friday and Saturday are at 8:00p. Then, we are done.
Angelina will be in a group of Lords and Ladies ... snooty Lords and Ladies! The try-outs were fun to watch. The leaders lined all the kids - approx. 54 - up by height and then asked each child to speak together as a group and alone in front of the group. Each child was also asked to show movement (marching and large, expressive motions to go with their speaking) and sing. From this, they were able to choose children for all the parts. I can't wait to see the show.
After theatre auditions, Angelina and I traveled to Ellendale (about 60-70 miles from our farm ... yes, still a drive, but closer than the 100 miles to Fargo/Moorhead) for dance registration. She'll be enrolled in ballet, tap and jazz. The great part is that all these classes take place on ONE day in the span of 1.5 hours. This will fit our 'getting busier' schedule much better.
My bonus for going tonight was that we were able to find used ballets, taps and jazz shoes! That's quite a huge savings.
It all sounds wonderful!! Wish we could come and watch her. SO glad you found a place to do dance and got good deals on shoes to boot! Gonna miss you both at Camria this year....my little "E" is starting on her 4th bday and will be the youngest in her class as is her big sis!
