Wow! Where were the hidden cameras? I had my first night of dance rehearsals last night and came home too tired to write about it. The choreographer went so fast and covered so much that all I could do was just stand staring with my jaw dropped in awe. I felt like I was being set up on some practical joke reality show. The guy next to me had dance classes, so he was no help. I'm guessing they'll either give me remedial lessons, or (to my relief) take me out of the dance numbers (or at least stick me in the back). I know I can do it, though...but WOW does it look impossible.
On the flip side, the musical rehearsals are going much better now that the musical director made me a CD of the baritone parts. Listening along with the CD while I fumble through the sheet music is helping me to learn how to read notes again. I'm amazed with how much I have forgotten in 12 years. I'm thinking about taking voice lessons and dance lessons, especially if I plan to audition for any future musicals.
I have two choices: sit on the couch getting fatter while watching videos of myself on stage OR get on stage again even though it's difficult and intimidating (and maybe a little crazy?)
Let's just hope this isn't like the one time I tried to skate as an adult...I don't want to literally "break a leg." What's something you were once good at that you haven't done in a long time? What's stopping you?
