Dancing Machine

Well, first day back to school....so happy I could shit.

Had my first real run through rehearsal of my piece for this weekend's studio repertory show. Everytime I see it I can't believe that any of that came out of my head and that I actually choreographed it. About 15% of it is borrowed material from the original, sometimes you have no choice, but the rest is of my own doing and I am damn proud of it. My dancers worked their asses off tonight and I think the piece is a real showstopper. It makes me feel good when people come up to me and say "that was amazing. we didn't think you could do that." Which makes me wonder what in the hell they think I do. In any case, I think it will be fully ready by Friday. A few more run throughs and clean ups and it will be good to go. This just gets me jazzed and ready for the next show in June. I have so many ideas and I want to work with so many people, I just hope it all comes through. I am hoping Diane will be able to fill in for my missing soloist. While I loathe making the male solo a female one, I have no options. I am in no shape to be doing it, and I don;t know any other guys who could learn it and do it well in two days. Such is the life of performing and directing.

This all puts me in a happy place. Dancing, watching dance, choreographing, teaching. Thanks to all those who support me and believe in me.
