Tired as Hell but Feeling Good
So i'd been practicing all freaking week, putting together all this new choreography. i've been terrified. i got there and everything changed. the old guy that owns the place was like "no, you're going to dance with the live band. here talk to them." the band leader asks me some obscure musical/dance question and i have no idea what the hell he means. so the owner rambles something off in italian at him and they're both like "okay go change."
and i have no idea what i'm going to do and i'm terrified and i know the band doesn't really have high hopes. and oh crap. what am i going to do?!!!
so i change, they introduce me and i come on out...
and i'm fucking awesome!!!
all improvised. i have no idea what i'm doing, i have no idea how the music is going to change next. whatever.
it was so much freaking fun!
and i got fifty dollars in tips.
and the owner loved it and wanted me to dance again and then come back the next night and every friday and saturday ever after.
so i went back the next night. and it was awesome.
that night i only made fourty dollars in tips but the owner gave me $60 for coming.
raddness.
and one of the old crazies that works there is going to teach kyllee and i greek stage dancing tomorrow. aparently he used to do all kinds of teaching and preforming on cruise ships. weird awesome.
anyhow this has been great. i've preformed lots before but its always been with a troupe (its not scary when there are eight of you) and to taped music (we know what happens next)
i still love that but i'm glad to be learning new stuff.
