Director. Auditionees were required to wear black attires that show line and appropriate dance shoes. I wore my ballet slippers‚ a pair of stretchy gym pants and a black turtleneck‚ which turned out to be one layer too many that caused me sweating way too much.

When you think of ballet dancing and ballet dancers you think of grace and beauty. While you watch a dancer dance you never think of the physics and mathematics behind their every move. Physics is described as a thing that is all about measurement‚ and that if you know the units of measurement that physics uses and how they work you will understand everything else you’ll learn about (Dennis and Moring 1).
