Photo Shoot Poses!

Hey lovely readers! We hope you all had a lovely summer! The writers here on Always On Our Toes have already started or are about to start school. Isn't that a little crazy? Where did the summer go, right?
So fall starts on September 22 this year, and it is my personal favorite season. I love the apple cider, hay rides, and trick-or-treating. But my very favorite thing about the lovely season is the fact that the leaves change colors. So pretty, right?! Something even prettier? Dancing in front of those pretty scenes! To kick off the end of summer, we want to prepare you for a dance photo shoot! So, grab your friends and your pointe shoes and try some of these gorgeous poses.

*ATTENTION: THESE ARE NOT OUR PICTURES, AND WE ARE NOT TRYING TO TAKE CREDIT FOR THEM IN ANY WAY. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO TOOK THESE PICTURES-WE WANTED TO SHARE THEIR LOVELINESS*

 Hey everyone!

Guess what I'm watching?? You guessed it! SYTYCD. It's the first competitive dances.

Anyway, I just found this cool app. I got the free version, and it's called Ballet Lite. It looks like this...

It has a lot of ballet terminology on it. Then, when you click a word, it includes a definition. Some even show pictures! I thought it was pretty cool, and I hope you guys check it out! Also, if you know of any cool dance apps, please comment!
