Winter Dance Concert
This entire week has been truly amazing. Exhausting, but amazing. I can't even put into words how much I love Repertory. This week will always have a special place in my heart and I will never forget every tiny inside joke we shared together.
You guys are my sisters. I can tell you anything in the world and not feel stupid because there's always someone who can relate to me. I feel a deep connection with each and every one of you and I don't know what I would do if I hadn't met all of you. You guys have taught me to dance again... to really DANCE.
I experienced the most unexplainable feeling this weekend. The moment I was able to hold my foot on stage was the best feeling in the world. It took me so long to perfect that and I never thought it would be possible. You guys all believed in me and prayed for me and that's all it took. A small prayer can be so powerful. I wanted to cry when i got my foot up in front of that audience... not just because I did it for myself, but because I could feel how happy everyone was for me. Everyone was rooting for me and to see how proud everyone was was incredible. Everytime I saw Jody smiling because I mastered my roll, or seeing Kimmie's face when I contolled my leg, or watching Melanie, Alyssa, and Megan doing the Hip Hop part in Lizz and Lindsay's dance behind stage just to get me to smile, my heart melted over and over again.
Watching the Chicago dance for my first time on Saturday night really got me emotional. It was such a beautiful dance. Watching the passion each dancer put into her moves showed me WHY it is that I dance. You dont even need the capes to show me that that dance is about Everyday Super Heros because when I watched you, thats what I saw... the people who changed my life and showed me love and friendship.
I couldn't wait til right before the show... Bonding time. No, it wasn't the dancing to the boom box, it wasn't kissing the lucky penny, it wasn't drinking the "killer dance moves" drink, and it wasn't the Quacks that made me dance the way I did this weekend. It was the moments that we stood in a circle and held hands. It was how through holding the hands on either side of you brought the entire company together. Looking into each others eyes, speaking our hearts, looking at the people who have made this year so much easier. We weren't just holding each others hands, we were holding each others hearts... or at least you all had my heart.
I know that I'm the goofy one of the company. Always making unnecessary comments... sexual and whatnot. But what you guys may not see is how much you guys really mean to me and how much I love coming to practice just so I can sit around with my sisters and talk through emotions and then dance them. This is what you guys do to me. This is what you mean to me. I love you guys more than you'll ever know... every single one of you! I will remember this week for the rest of my life.
Repertory For LIFE!
Asta Pasta (I LOVE YOU!) Jodi, Jaclyn, Kristine, Elana, Jackie, Megan, Alyssa, Agata, Jaclyn, Melanie, Emily, Erin, Nikki, Lizz, Kimmie, Alli, Lindsay, Alex, and Olga
You guys are my heros!! I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!
I dont know what I'm gonna do with myself for the next month... but until the next practice....
ALWAYS YOURS,
ABBY
