I think I'm inlove.
With Sir Jethro's choreography (done to the song Can't Take My Eyes Off of You/Blower's Daughter from the CLOSER soundtrack), that is. Am now at home, probably coming down with a cold, but that's okay. Nothing some extra sleep, and a little bit more water in my system won't cure.
I auditioned this afternoon. Left the house at 1:15pm and arrived at exactly 1:30 at the parking area. Went up, watched a bit of the company class and did my best to prep myself -- i.e. stretching while filling out the audition form. A total of six girls (including me) and about seven guys were present. I didn't really get to count, so most of this is from what I heard from Mom. It was a class like any other... well that is, unles you count that it was Teacher Bunny Brendia handling it.
I don't think that the nervousness registered properly. I just knew that half the time for the warm-up I felt stiff in the way that makes you wish you'd spent more time stretching during the wait. I think that saying that I loosened up only during 'corners' and the choreography itself is enough of a statement.
...
I'm looking thru the first part of this entry... and I already know based on what little I have that I won't be able to write it down accurately -- how I felt, what I saw, how it was. If anything though, I can say at least this:
God, My Lady, and anyone else up there who just might have a smidgen of love for me -- I did my best. If the smiles from the other company dancers could measure my chances, I can at least sleep well tonight thinking that I didn't take all the hard work and classes under those who have taught me for granted.
I didn't fumble, even if I missed a couple of steps and was a tad conscious performing solo (well, not really solo -- it was one girl and one guy at a time -- different choreographies, mind you). I didn't balk. I put both my good feet forward and backward and wherever else I was supposed to put them for the piece. I tried to do Sir Jeth's piece justice (though I doubt anyone save for Teacher Nina and Teacher Bunny can pull heartstrings... let's face it, I may be good... but I'm not that good. Not yet.). I did what I feel was/is my BEST.
And now all I can do is wait.
Anyway, before I go to grab dinner, shoutouts are due: Break a leg guys --> to all the rest who plan to audition on Friday -- especially Mirell and Mia. Love you both.
