20h 40min, dec 19, 2015 y - First Solo

Description:

In December, I was in Jamaica at a late-night buffet when we got an email from my dance school. They told me I had gotten a ballet solo! I was ecstatic! Getting a solo in dance is a huge deal, so we celebrated (obviously!). For my first solo, I was a circus poodle. I used a neon pink hoop and did lots of fun tricks. I had to practice a TON with the hoop and I always hit my ankles very hard. It hurt so much because the inside was reinforced with wood!
