Twinkle Toes and her Cavalier. Tuesday, October 8, 2013. Our Muffins are Delicious Muffins. This past weekend was General Conference, and we very much enjoyed it. I had to work Saturday morning so I didn't get to watch the first session, but I watched every other session and really enjoyed it. I felt like they addressed a lot of my current concerns, and said things I wanted to hear. Can't wait for the Conference Report so I can read them all again! This recipe is so delicious; you should try it! An Eveni...

Well, before I get too mired in my preparations for Sleeping Beauty, I wanted to reflect on the amazing experience that was Peter Pan. The ballet really represents a full year of my life. Of course we're going to do a story ballet! What do you need? We started making plans immediately. The night of the show was a bit of a blur, as I spend my time backstage. I got to watch a little bit...

Twinkle Toes and her Cavalier. Saturday, September 13, 2014. Lessons Learned: Kids Grow Up. Yes, yes, I know, duh. It's not like I've been unaware of this fact. But I'm still pretty young, so sometimes it takes a while for things to sink in and really stick. And this is the year where the fact that my students grow up has started to stick. And that's just bizarre. And that's where the big thing that sunk in. So do it I will. I love my job! I googled Baby Ballerinas, and this one popped up. Subscribe to: ...

http://allisonfarnsworth.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Twinkle Toes and her Cavalier. Wednesday, November 20, 2013. Let's Talk About Teaching. I've become a bit cynical about opening up the myriad blog posts and links that pop up on my Facebook feed, but this one caught my eye. A link in that article led me to:. To summarize the contents, a former educator offers some advice on how to survive teaching. The number one concept? Teaching is a hard job. Some people try to make it into life or death. But it’s still just a job. That is a lot. I cannot do Christmas...

Twinkle Toes and her Cavalier. Sunday, January 25, 2015. It's almost February, so I really should get caught up, I suppose. Tomas and I spend Christmas up at Mike and Rachel's. He had to work Christmas Eve, but luckily, it was a morning shift, so we were able to head up fairly early. The kids were, of course, excited. Christmas Morning, after they came in to wake me up. Zobell Tradition: Waiting on the stairs until Mom and Dad says it's okay to come down. When your aunt is a tutu maker. Spring Semester h...

Twinkle Toes and her Cavalier: True Life: I am a Classical Choreographer

Twinkle Toes and her Cavalier. Friday, January 24, 2014. True Life: I am a Classical Choreographer. So at the U, before you are awarded your coveted MFA, you have to pass an oral examination. Basically, you and your Graduate Committee gather around a conference table, and you get to discuss the projects you've done over your time at the U and answer any question they bring to the table. It can be a little intimidating. The questions is. Why? So why don't we have more classical pieces floating around?

Twinkle Toes and her Cavalier. Thursday, February 26, 2015. Hair and Make-Up Tutorials. Melanie and I spent the morning watching youtube videos to find good tutorials for our dancers and parents. I want to make sure I don't lose them in case I want them in the future, so I'm linking them here. Https:/ www.youtube.com/watch? While this isn't how I actually do my performance hair, I decided that the braided bun was the best way to get over 100 kids looking the same. Https:/ www.youtube.com/watch?
