Yesterday was my first dress rehearsal as Sugar Plum and before the run I received a very special gift from the artistic director. Needless to say, it made my day.
Everything's going well thus far! Eager to start this weekend, but for now it's time to give thanks and to eat until our costumes won't fit anymore!... (Just kidding, I've already had enough fittings for that Sugar Plum tutu to last a life time!)
With this performance season we will all be devoting a lot of time to our hair and makeup. I've put together a little video of myself doing a rehearsal bun. Please note: this is not a performance bun and I do not do that swoop with my bangs for a real show. Usually, I plaster them back flat for a more classical look. But when you're in class or rehearsal it's always fun to add a little personality to the very uniform look of a ballet dancer.

Thanks for reading, my lovelies and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
