I just got back from dance class, and we now have all of our costumes for the recital coming up. All I have to say, is YIKES. My costumes for ballet and tap, while pretty, don't go with the dances at all. My jazz costume makes me look like a stripper. And my pointe costume has this weird netting on the tutu. The netting doesn't seem so bad, until you accidentally brush your hand against it while moving to a different arm position, and your arm is captured and it sort of looks like you're caught in a fish net. So, yeah. Not my favorite year for dance ever. I definitely got better costumes when I was in the production group, but I guess they're a priority. The worst part is that it's not like there's not any other costume options. It's just that we all look totally different, and they have to find costumes that make us look the same. (By different I mean we all have radically different body types: short and stout, tall and toothpick-y, tall and curvy, short and skinny-to-healthy, etcetera.) I'm so glad that I have all of my dances on one night this year. I'll wear these costumes once, and never have to think about them again... hopefully. Going to go find a soda. I might be back later.
