Post-performance shock. Last I remembered I was basking in the glory of lights, stage, and audience. What a sudden reality check after the curtain falls. Kids, strained marriage, a messy house, pending job change, and school about to begin. No more show deadlines or 3 hour rehearsals , dang it! Can’t we rewind back to dancing? And stay there for about a few hundred years?
I spent all of the week re-adjusting, just emotionally, to my surroundings. Because trust me, I didnt get too much else done. It was very enjoyable having that outside goal, distraction, and personal achievement time. Though it would be difficult to maintain that standard on a long term basis and balance family, I am currently trying to figure out how to feel that feeling more often and still be a happy homemaking mommy and good wife….
…And when I get back from LaLa land, I need to remember there’s nothing more important than throwing in that next load of darks.

In arts on August 10, 2009 at 10:55 amIt was beautiful. This is a show I had wanted to do very badly, it was going to be in a great venue and be a BIG show. Yet, I chose not to back when rehearsals started last April because of wanting to spend time with the kids and finish up a class I was already in. Practices can be stressful and time consuming, not fun for a mom with a family. I wasn’t willing to give those other two things up for them. And I had a great summer! I really enjoyed the children and got some personal goals started. As the summer was almost over, about two weeks before curtain, I received a call. Someone had damaged their foot pretty bad and the director asked if I would fill in. I couldn’t believe it! What a challenging and exciting opportunity. After consoling my hurt friend, assuring her she could never be replaced, I got to work. Uploaded her choreography and hit the stage.
I was amazed at how fast we accomplished this and how well it turned out. I didn’t get any complaints, and I am personally very happy and proud with the work I gave him.
I loved dancing , the stage was wonderful, and the performance fun.
My children and family came to watch, and had a great time.
What a great experience and fabulous night. I will be dancing again!
