Dance Like Nobody's Watching... Part 2

Dress rehearsals. They're the final run-through before the big show. If you don't have it by then you're probably not gonna get er done. Unless...

ACT I: The Arrival

Friday afternoon, I left work early and drove the 3.5 miles home with all intentions of arriving at the rehearsal early. After stopping at the dance supply store to get a last-minute item, I headed over to the concert hall, changed clothes and had about 20 minutes to spare. I am not normally the one who gets ANYWHERE early, so to intentionally leave early with the intent of arriving early is crazy in and of itself. 

ACT II: The Rehearsal

Dance Like Nobody's Watching...

Last year, I must have gone absolutely crazy because I did something I've never done before. I signed up for an adult dance class, and danced in my first recital. My daughter dances there, and our studio offers several classes for moms. Mind you, I dance in the kitchen with the broom, or around the living room with the kids, but I'd never put on a ballet slipper. Ever.

Well last year, I did. And I loved it. This year, I decided to be brave and sign up for two. Why not, right? So I picked jazz (not the best idea for someone who is as uncoordinated as I am) and lyrical (it looked pretty, why not?)... at least, that was my logic at the time.

Fast forward 9 months.
