Last summer my Mother drove my sister and I to Minneapolis. We were staying with our Aunt and Uncle for the entire week. My sister was going to take dance classes at a local dance studio while I was going to do a “Wicked” themed musical theatre camp. I was so excited to learn new things and how to grow as a singer, actor, and dancer. We drove there on Thursday and arrived around six. I was so happy to see my Aunt and Uncle! We went out to eat at a diner, it looked like the 50’s era. I ordered a cheeseburger, fries and a Pepsi. Not too long after we headed back to their house.

She hopped on the bed and laid next to me then I fell asleep. The next day we got up really early so we could go down to a lake nearby and paddle board. When we arrived, I immediately regretted not bringing sunscreen, it was boiling outside! We rented a paddle board for me, a two person kayak for my sister and mom, and a canoe for my aunt and uncle.

When we got inside I could hear my heart pounding in my chest, my hands were sweaty. An instructor dropped us off in our room, it was a dance room with a giant mirror covering a full wall.

I ended up partnering up with the only other boy in the class, his name is Liam. Then she had us sit across from each other and just stare into each other's eyes for what seemed like forever. Apparently this was going to help you get to know your cast member. For the rest of the acting portion we mostly played more acting games including banana. Banana is a game where you get into a group and create a short skit and you can only use the words yes, please, no, and banana. Next it was lunch, I sat with Liam, we mostly talked about musicals and which ones we’ve been in. The next portion was singing and dancing. First we started to dance, the teacher was really nice. We learned a little choreography, then we started the singing part, our teacher was really talented he taught us about resonation, breathing, and dynamics.
