End of School Program

It's hard to believe that I'm all done with school for the year.  In Bolivia we have our summer break from the end of November until February!  So now I get to be home ALL DAY with my Mom for a while.  But before my school was completely done, we had a big end of the year program that took place in a big theater in town.  The theater was real fancy, but old.  There were 7 different acts, all of which were different Disney stories.  I was in a Disney story that I wasn't familiar with, and neither were my parents.  (Maybe since it was all in Spanish?)  Anyway, it had solders and ballerinas in it, and I was a ballerina!  We practiced for several weeks before the big show.  On the day of the show I, along with all the other girls in the show, got to go to a beauty parlor and have our hair and make-up done.  It was SO fun.  My mom said I looked like something out of Moulin Rouge, but all the Bolivians thought we were beautiful!  

Here are some pictures and videos from the event!  

At first, getting my make-up felt weird.  I wasn't sure what to think!

Getting on my eye shadow kinda tickled!

Wow!  Mom said I already have on more make-up than I will ever need to wear again.  

Time for hair!

There was a lot of hair teasing going on.  

The tierra was the final touch.  (And my favorite part!)

Here I am in full costume, right before the show.

My favorite ballerina pose.

As you can see, the choreography wasn't too complicated for me to learn.

I tried to do a little improv dancing, but was quickly reprimanded by one of the other ballerinas!  

Just after the show.  I couldn't stop "posing."

This is me with my teacher's assistant on the last day of school.

This is me with my teacher.  She is SO nice.
