I HAD TO DO THE SCARIEST THING
you know the whole quote we all love ..."dance as if no one's watching"? and you just go crazy and random and dance (pretty badly) and feel awesome, but are definitely glad no one saw it because you're not a dancer?
WELL
have I got a story.
well, not really...but anyway.
I was performing Not For The Life Of Me today in MVP class, and my task from the previous time I had done it was was to "be playful, dance, have fun" kind of thing. So I worked on that, it faired out well. But since we were at the end of the day, Marie (The head), says "Ok...just...FOR FUN....You're going to do this again, and move, shake, dance THE ENTIRE song. The only mistake you can make is not moving." Oh, keep in mind everyone, that this is in front of my MVP class, half of which whom are dancers, all of which are my peers, and hey - we all know that's the toughest crowd.
[Crapping my pants,]I kind of just threw myself into it, ended up doing something along the lines of "Walk Like An Egyptian" at some point (Hey! I had an impulse!)...it got laughs, and everyone enjoyed how foreign/nervous/scary/exciting of a territory I put myself into.
But man - talk about SCARY. I knew there was no way out of it.
And what kind of comments did I get from the Prof?
"YOU. HAVE. INFECTIOUS. ENERGY" (I was quite pleased at this one) &
"I would cast you as Millie in a heartbeat."
Anyway.
This was yesterday.
It started out lousy, ended up satisfying.
And now I'm done with that song and get to work on a new one!
I suggest taking a listen to Solo Saxophone from Miss Saign...I think Chris Waldron and I may do this one (Very VERY nice duet).
I'm off!
