How am I not surprised
And still counting… I love the garlic festival.
I was feeling a little nervous just because I choreographed this number in like an hour, and despite my liking it, I thought it might be too easy for these girls who have been dancing for like… ever. basically. And I was gonna try an across the floor exercise and wasn’t sure if the girls were going to invest whole-heartedly into it… They’re a little hesitant when it comes to trying different things.
But it actually worked out really well. After I warmed the girls up, I went into the across the floors and although the girls were very reserved at first, they really got into it by the end, like they actually opened up. Thank God, since I’ve been trying to do that for the past two weeks.
And then we went into the combination. We’ve done a lot of Hairspray and Footloose and “conservative” numbers like that, so I decided to throw in some grit this week, so we’re working on “Saturday Night in the City” from The Wedding Singer. Apparently, I did something right because the girls seemed to really fuckin’ like it. They actually got into it more than the last couple routines I’ve done with them. And then the owner of the studio [and women who hired me] came out to watch and I felt really nervous as I continued to teach the combination. After we ran through the first part of the combo a couple times, she started smiling and like bobbing her head with the music [that sounds really lame] and I felt like she was really liking what I was doing, like I had gotten the stamp of approval. THANK THE LORD. And after my nerves rested, I really started getting into teaching and doing this number with the girls and honestly, I felt at ease. The last couple times I had the girls perform it without me doing it with them, and I really don’t mean to be a cocky bitch or anything, but that combination looked good… I was really proud of myself and then eight girls I was teaching, especially after having reservations at first.
When I was first asked to teach this class I was extremely hesitant… Although I’ve performed and danced in shows since I was eight, I’ve only had technical training for two years, so I wasn’t feeling exactly qualified to teach this class. Here I am teaching some amazing girls, who have been dancing since they were in diapers and I’m just starting my career. But after today, I feel ambitious, like a fire has been lit under my ass. I was driving home and I noticed how confident I felt. I want to have creative moments like this every day of my life until I die.
Tyce Diorio really really really bugs me.
LADY GAGA LOOKS AMAZING. I absolutely ADORE that hair.
Life is good. It didn’t take the seven days that it was supposed to! So. Happy.
Perks of taking four dance classes.
You. would. Well… I hate to disappoint you, but you already know all my personal sex stories! Um… well let’s just go with that one time I drove to Santa Barbara for a certain someone that I was naively and stupidly “in love” with. [It wasn’t someone I met online as so many people think when I tell this story.] A week. Nothing to do. Apartment to ourselves. His boyfriend in Italy…. I’m not proud of this. haha.
This is gonna be really weird, but I REALLY like the way my scruffy facial hair makes me look thinner than I am… People think I am crazy, but this is a fact. When I shave, I want to hide away in a dark corner until the stubble comes back.
Lust: A personal sex story.
Pride: Something that I like about myself.
Sloth: Something that I dislike about myself.
Envy: Something I wish I was better at.
Gluttony: One of my favorite foods.
Wrath: Something that gets me angry.
Greed: Something I can’t get enough of.
jean short shorts, torn up tye-dye tank top, cowboy boots, bandana, and mullet… yes, this is happening.
I’ve got a long day of nothing to do tomorrow. :)
It’s been a nice night. :)
Also, I think Sea Lions are really cute. :)
So I’m gonna look like a goober where cut off shorts and high top Nikes…. ugh.
