Sunday was the big showcase, and I DID WELL. Better than I had hoped. Stage fright was minimal. There were only a few shaky moments. I had memory problems with the opening of one routine--I wasn't expecting it and was shocked when they called my name.
I did the applejack without a speck of trouble. One judge said I smiled too much!
I was exhausted last night and feeling I didn't want to dance anymore. Probably it was a reaction to all the anticipation and energy I invested in getting ready for the showcase.
Today I'm feeling more optimistic. I talked to my teachers about getting coaching from another teacher - a big step for me. They agreed to my plan.
D., who did most of the choreography for "Someone to Watch over Me," said she'd never seen me dance it so well. (She'd been there for all the practices with G.) I thought the same thing.
I really pitched "Mr. Bojangles" to the audience.
I REALLY enjoyed the merengue, of all things.
I'm marching forward with my dancing. The stage fright CD I listened to nightly for two months apparently did the job. It is great to have tools to work with as I move ahead with my dancing.
