I just got back from my dance recital dress rehearsal. I spent six straight hours at a place filled with giggly three-to-seven-year-old girls, rude girls on the competition team, and a few moderately friendly people slightly younger than me who aren't on the competition team. The only point of dress rehearsal is to give you a chance to rip up your brand-new tights two days before the real recital. Most of the people who go to see the recitals are there, and they expect you to put on full makeup, so I don't really get the point of having both a dress rehearsal and a recital. I have tomorrow off, though, so I don't have to do anything for dance, which is a relief.
