Ehh. I grew up in one of its suburbs. It's a fine city, but I prefer New York.

I prefer New York over anywhere in the world.

So let's just discuss how Ballet II and Ear training are both at 8:30 AM M+W...thank God I'm meeting with my advisor tomorrow...

Ouch. That sucks. I don't function that early in the morning. Are there other sections you can take?

[Robos89]

Posted: 3/26/08 at 11:15am

Well yea, there's two of ever class. He's also our ballet teacher, so I just have to ask him if he wants me in Ballet I or II. I mean, it'll work either way, I just checked both classes so it's whether I want to take ballet first then ET or ET than ballet. I'm opting for ballet FIRST to wake me up

Sounds like a good plan.

And you even have a window for lunch. Nice.

There is still a lot to be worked in though.

Earlier you said something about how you're not even supposed to be tapping yet? Why?

[Robos89]

Posted: 3/26/08 at 11:39am

Because we're introduced to Jazz sophomore year, then tap junior year. But if you have time for tap sophomore year, you can go ahead and take it!

[mauriposa]

Posted: 3/26/08 at 11:39am

Ahh. And what if you enter the program with dance knowledge?

[Robos89]

Posted: 3/26/08 at 11:41am

Well, I've tapped for a while, so that's why he's letting, ummm....4 of us (?) into level 3 tap.

Like some of us have danced ballet before, and we could have moved on to level 2, but he kept us back to stay together as a class our first year. Then we can branch off!

[mauriposa]

Posted: 3/26/08 at 11:42am

I guess that makes sense.

[tazber]

Posted: 3/26/08 at 11:44am

btw mauri, I have another friend who is also taking a Jane Austen course. I think he had to watch Clueless too.

[Robos89]

Posted: 3/26/08 at 11:44am

You can never go wrong repeating the basics of ballet. They're so essential and great to just brush up on!

Tap is a different story, though. Once you learn everything, you know it all. He told us he'll just spit out a combination and we have to do it!

Alright, off to class!

[mauriposa]

Posted: 3/26/08 at 11:47am

Make sense, Tazzy. With it being a riff on Emma and all. Of course, if you had told me in 1995 when I saw Clueless for the first time that I was watching a Jane Austen movie, I would have thought you were nuts.

Have fun, Robs! I shall continue to be really bored in your absence.

[tazber]

Posted: 3/26/08 at 11:49am

The only reason I knew it when I first saw it was b/c the reviews mentioned it.
I've never read Emma.

robbie

it is not ballet unless your in a tutu

[mauriposa]

Posted: 3/26/08 at 11:55am

I didn't know about the connection for years after the movie. One day, I sat down to watch the Gwyneth Paltrow Emma and kept catching similarities.

Posted: 3/26/08 at 11:59am

Taz, the book is glorious - one of her easier reads. My favorite Austen, though, is PERSUASION. I love that book.

ok I watched The Jane Austen Book Club last night, so you peeps are freakin me out right now.

I LOVED pride & prejudice when I was younger. I bought a book with most of her novels in it to re read and experience for the first time, and well, it has been collecting dust. I do really want to dig it out.

Yello.

Anyone have any friends working at Warner Bros? Let me know. I'm trying to find someone there.

How are we?
