New York


So i decided that I needed to keep a diary of my life in the big apple. Being that it is probably the most exciting time in my life and I really am enjoying every single second living my wildest fantasies and dreams. So lets just go through the basics... I live in the financial district, which is really nice, and I live with two amazing girls Tara and Katie. Both who I love to pieces and then some! Ok so, Tara is doing an internship for MTV, shes kinda the shit who I just love and them some. Katie is doing an internship with me at BDC, and seriously might be the coolest/ funnies person alive. They both have enlightened in me in so many ways and in such a short amount of time that i can only describe our living situation as a miracle! Oh and p.s. MO, Kt's BF is also the shiznit! (no, hes right next to me...) lol Moving on... So then there is BDC where I am interning! Basically its a devoted studio that really and truly wants to make dancers dreams come true. I have taken dance classes all over the place and never have I ever been so impressed by the lack of cat-i-ness within a dancing studio. There is little to no pageant moms and their die hard children who only want ur failure... not their own success. Soooooo impressed/blessed. Alright so what else can I tell you.... I mean it seriously is a dream here. Walking down cobble stone streets, living in a high rise, having every type of food possible in less then a block from my house... you name it, its here.

Dance Classes
So the program is a combination of 12 classes. 5 classes of my concentration (Hip- Hop), 3 diversity (not hip-hop), 2 elective (anything i want), and 2 ballet ( if you know me... you know how i feel about that). Actually I took a ballet class yesterday which was quite hilarious.. Me.. in tights, a leo, and ballet slippers... eye yi yi. We had a our first mock audition last Friday which was also a placement audition, in which me and Kt NAILED IT! That was pretty awesome too, because the judges were comprised of our future dance teachers, producers, talent agents, and even girls looking for models for a dancer magazine :) I have been starting to look at auditions too and I feel like after a couple months of this intense training, Ill be on my way to TRUE professionalism in the dance world. UHHHHHHHHH THIS IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!

Dancers
The girls in the program are seriously amazing! Every single girl has a different and unique talent that I admire and find to be absolutely breathtaking. Each time I watch them dance I am taken back by their love for dance and the passion the pushes them closer and closer to their dreams! Just a few of them i will mention... Ok so there is my little Minnesotan sweetheart , Hannah, who I cant get enough of. She is one of those lyrical contemporary dancers that can take any movement and add her own little spice on it and VWALA! Its all her own! Then there is Laura, who is just a doll! I envy her make-up skills and is the probably the most bubbly person alive .. that is outside the dance studio... However, when she gets in the studio is she is all kinds of fierce! Then there is my spitfire Maria.. This Long Island native, will tell you how it is and she is all kinda of sass.mmmeeeoooowww!

Well that's as far as I am getting today, of course I have to get off my butt and go take 3 dance classes! Talk to you all later :)
