12:00-4:00 During this day it is the last weekend rehearsal before our show, which is this Friday. During this rehearsal we were mapping out all of the lighting cues for each dance. Sadly not everyone was there so we had to fill in for the dancers that were missing. This rehearsal went smoothly and we got done all the lights. It is so nerve racking to think that we are preforming this dance in 5 days. There is an excessive amount of hours we put into this show. Hopefully it will all pay off, and have the best first ever WHS dance show.

Eventually we went through costumes and talked about what we might want to wear. We as a class decided that we were going to do pedestrian clothing to make the show express the true stories of real people.

They have taken my idea for a dance and truly have formed it into a work of art. It is amazing to see my work on an actual stage for the first time ever. Eventually we did a full run through of the show, and it

3:45-6:00 Today was the last day teaching at Cali Calmecac. Today we are reviewing a dance they learned for their auditions, making some changes, and reviewing the dance we taught them before. We did not know the dance they had learned before for their auditions, so we found a video of the dance and taught ourselves it. It took us about an hour to memorize the dance, perfect it, make changes, and review the other dance we choreographed. When we got to Cali we went straight to business and started running the dance we taught last week. They remembered the dance really well and preformed it flawless for us.
