Kick Me, Kate!

Gahh. I'm always trying to be about optimism, acceptance, and forward thinking on this blog, but boy I really dislike it when my fellow dancers are unaware of their space and kick/hit/step on me.

I mean I like to think I'm a nice girl, but I have HAD it with girls in character heels who don't seem to get the concept of windows (that's where dancers stagger themselves in a zig zag formation so that no dancer is directly in front of or behind another dancer).

At this point Im going to have to act in the interest of self preservation... I have a GOUGE in my foot from homegirl on Saturday! The audition for Kiss Me Kate (in the Fingerlakes?) went well enough, but it put me in a bit of a mood to sustain some damage only two minutes into learning the combination.

Suffice it to say, the stink eye has become well honed and was out in full force. I also seem to have developed this steely, polite voice that I use to whisper, "Please step forward. Now."

In other news, my private tutoring clients are really improving by leaps and bounds. I am le proud of them! A few of my students have crossed over into the Honors realm!

Don Giovanni rehearsals start again Tuesday. Here's hoping for a relatively injury-free next week.

Cheers,

A Broadway Baby
