I've been busy. I spent all afternoon helping some of the cast of "West Side Story" with their Mambo. Not everyone has picked it up, and with me being so sick a few weeks ago, it kind of messed up their rehearsal schedule. The Mambo is tough because it breaks on the 2 (that's why Baby kept stepping on Johnny's feet in "Dirty Dancing"). Most dances that Americans dance break on the first beat so it can be tough to hold off for that second beat. That has been the biggest problem with the Mambo so far. They open next week so we still have a little time, and it's just a few people who are struggling. I can always move them to the back of the stage if I have to...I just feel bad about that!
My Wednesday night dance class is tonight. We're doing the East Coast Swing tonight. I'm looking forward to it. I think the Fox Trot, Cha Cha and East Coast Swing are the most valuable dances for the social dancer. If you know these three dances you can go to a wedding and dance the night away. Of course, I told this to one of the couples and they went to a Brazilian wedding and they played Sambas all night. Go figure. We're holding the Mambo and Samba for our last two weeks. I wanted them to have some experience before giving them the challenging dances.
Bill asked me to help out with the Haunted House again this weekend. I'm taking Molly and Nat along with me because he needs more help. I'm looking forward to it. I really had fun last week.
I'm starting to feel renewed. Working on the choreography for the show and helping with the Haunted House has gotten me out of my comfort zone a little. I've been meeting new people and having fun. I'm not sitting around moping about Him.
Well, I should probably do some actual school work since I'll be out tonight. The one bad thing about keeping busy is that I'm not keeping up with my classes and I've made it this far (and it wasn't easy with being in Florida for a whole semester!) so I don't want to mess up now. Just a few more months and I'll be a college grad!
