So today in ballet class we started our "Flowers" piece for Alice in Wonderland. The catch? It's the Waltz of the Flowers from the Nutcracker! I mean the music and choreography (at least some parts of it) are all the same! I mean we had to add a few changes (like including the White Rabbit) but other than that...we are doing the Waltz of the Flowers!
I am so excited for this, I have wanted to be in the Nutcracker ever since I knew what it was but never got the chance. I would watch all my friends and my cousin be Party Girls and Soldiers when they were younger...and still feel like I missed out having never done it or even been in a Nutcracker production.
I also think that my ballet teacher is feeling sort of the same way. I mean, shes been in the Nutcracker PLENTY of times I'm sure, but I know she really wants to choreograph a piece from it. I mean, why else would she put Waltz of the Flowers in Alice in Wonderland?
Either way you slice it, it's pretty awesome. I will upload a video to youtube after the show (in additon to the Bugs and Cards). Probably the dress rehearsal version because my mom probably wont want to video tape during the show. (If you look on my youtube channel, danceblogger17, my only video of Swan Lake was taped by her...and I think she got sorta mad at my iPod's video camera because she couldn't shut it off! Oh mom...)
