Fish & Ponds

Two big auditions have passed, Paul Taylor Dance Company and D
Parsons Dance. Two huge companies, in case you didn't know.

I got callbacks for both.

I am in LOVE with Taylor and it is my dream company. I really enjoyed the audition, where we walked for Mr Taylor and performed some choreography from "Sunsets," such a beautiful piece. The callback however was difficult and nerve racking. Go find a video of "Scudorama." (sorry if I butchered the spelling) I like thinking of how I got to dance for the legendary Paul Taylor, and his own choreography too :)

Parsons audition was more of a class. David Parsons was once a Taylor dancer himself! He's a pretty funny dude. The choreography is more jumpy and quirky and flashy (in a good, fun way). VERY fun. Lots of sweating. The callback was pretty intense. Some chick scratched the hell out of my hand though and drew blood, and I started to feel pretty tripped up on my cold medicine. I could NOT figure out one of the jumps, but fakes it as best as I could.

Audition > callback > job
Now I just have to make it past the callback phase. There is a different feel to them and I can longer just pretend that "it's only a class"
The tension in the room changes and it's harder to concentrate.
Next step is figuring out callbacks...

On a lighter note...I graduated yesterday! Very exciting day :)
My plan for the summer is to stay in Long Island, Stabucks, dance internship and classes with the company, along with other classes in manhattan and long island.

And so the little fish jumps into the big pond.
