St. Louis was hit on Thursday with a large snow storm.
Nicely, probably not. We bought just a few inches which suggests all of the crazies come out on the street. We’d get extra snow flurries throughout your common day in October at Interlochen. This Snow Queen is unimpressed.

I’m nevertheless, fairly bummed with the timing since Thursday was the day that my firm was going to begin rehearsal for a chunk of fantastic repertoire. Additionally, do not forget that complete ‘dancers with pilates balls’ factor? Presupposed to be on Thursday. So the excellent news is, you didn’t miss your probability to see it! It will likely be the identical time, identical place, simply the next week.
Maintain it Proper There! -dancers in rehearsal
At the least I assumed I’d have the ability to train my common lessons on Thursday however faculties have been closed so I holed myself up like your bizarre hermit and had myself slightly snow day- sans ‘The Shining’ cabin fever. Therrrrrre’s Jess-ie! as a result of I get pleasure from being caught inside and compelled to work on watercolors, play my piano, learn, and collect bits of youtube inspiration for the time of emergence from my ice-covered cave.Right here’s my snow day in a nutcracker-shell (or photos).
There’s a shock inside! Beatrix Potter mug (from childhood) Mug photographs cat mug- a present from my brother about ten years in the past, and Hidden Animals Hippo mug plus Blueberry Inexperienced Tea from the Republic of Tea (I strongly advocate it!)
I additionally did what any sane individual would do and caught up on season 10 of Challenge Runway. Remind me to by no means put on a leather-based vest, because it appears to be the go-to merchandise for designers aiming for ‘nation/ rock n’ roll’ look. However that is after all coming from somebody who went to unimaginable Celebration Day Led Zeppelin tribute on the Pageant final night- and I wore heels (within the snow) and a onesie. Then I wore it to mattress. I feel they should skip these boring day to nighttime seems to be and work on some night time to sleepwear seems to be. My favourite second got here early on within the episode after they have been choosing teammates and guess what! Certainly one of these uber-fashionable designers was sporting the SAME sweater as me! Too unhealthy it was a person. And he went dwelling that episode.
Throughout my freshmen yr of school, there was a large hail storm in Indiana, particularly through the dance division’s manufacturing of Swan lake. I keep in mind looking of my dorm window and pondering, ‘oh good! They’ll most likely cancel the present!’ And it wasn’t. That was a enjoyable stroll throughout campus to the theatre. Why does it appear to be the weather all the time try to trigger bother throughout ‘occasions’ after which the fallacious issues get cancelled or postponed whereas the stuff you’d reasonably skip out on and keep in mattress carry forth like a pure white parade of nuisance, piling up underneath my tires and freezing on my stairs? At the least the jess-made pile of laundry doesn’t appear so out of my management anymore. Perspective.
I’d like to see how essentially the most well-known and severe of dancers spend an enforced snow day. Which zealot of stretching would forgo the hamstring burn to bake cookies, who would emerge from the tangled internet of the theraband to seize a sled, and who would simply select to sleep via the day? Perhaps add in to my very best dream snow day, snuggling on the sofa with my cat and somebody certainly snow-day enjoyable like Svetlana Zhakarova- ingesting sizzling chocolate and providing up our opinions on Challenge Runway or this superb Vaganova class. Sure, that is additionally how I spent a part of my snow day. I simply assume the solar shines out of those little ballerina stars. If solely I might undertaking their excellent photographs throughout the frozen tundra that’s my parking zone and soften the clumps of soiled snow and everybody’s hearts directly, Then I’d actually be the Snow Queen.
Hope to see you on Thursday when the present, rain or shine, will go on! Get pleasure from the remainder of the weekend- I’m off to Alonzo King’s Traces Ballet tonight and Carmina Burana tomorrow. They’d higher ship since I needed to miss out on E-book of Mormon on the Fox with my beloved Gavin Creel. Opinions to return. Keep protected and heat!- xo Jess
