In ballet, there are three categories of performer -- the principal, the soloist, and the corps. The corps consists of all the dancers who are not members of the first two categories.
What a cool seed. There are a lot of quirky rock formations -- some with waterfalls pouring out of them -- as well as some lava-floor ravines. Take care when approaching the ender portal; the floor outside the room has fallen away to reveal a small pitfall.

When a ballet dancer begins in first, third, or fifth position and then leaps forward and lands again in the same position. If you drop the "u", it becomes a somersault.
The middle of the map has some great mountains. There are also some great waterfalls and some nice shadows. Very scenic!

The wood of a tree isn't the tree -- that's the dead part. The living part is the bark. When a tree branch gets yanked off, the bark of the tree will grow around the wound. This becomes a knot. Once the tree is turned into lumber, sometimes these knots will fall away, leaving a hole.
I found a half-library with a dungeon attached to it. The nether is really sweet on this one.

The mountains on this level are very, very cool. At one point, I threw my hands in the air and was like -- there's too many waterfalls. I give up. Then I saw another one and I was like, "MINE!" This level has probably one of everything. I found a lagoon, a mushroom island, lava pit, pumpkins, at least a half-dozen lava falls, and who knows how many waterfalls. It's crazy and gorgeous all at once.
The southeast corner has these great keys out in the water.
My first can't miss of TU9. So exciting! What can it be? It's a pit full of waterfalls. That's it. Really cool hole in the ground -- probably something you're not going to see again for a while. Coords are 106.65.-293 -- just don't go diving into it without a way to get back out.
Wide open. It contains a fantastic nether fortress -- full of bridges. There were some great lava falls and the whole "horizon" was just swimming with bad guys. If you decide to go, seriously consider building your portal at 79.100.-80, as that dropped me in a prime spot.
