Old Dog, New Tricks

I need to learn how to do one fierce tumble pass. I'll take a back hand spring round off combo from anyone who will teach me...  wow everyone just loves asking for tumbling in auditions these days!

Wizard of Oz was the same cute Jitterbug combo I remember from 8 months or so. I love the movement in the show (so quirky and right up my alley!), though I could not have done the tour anyway as it overlaps with the Met opera contract.

What a novel concept to not have to be up at 6am for an audition! My Wiz of Oz experience must be what a dancer's life is like when they have those much coveted, highly illusive agents. It was nice to be asked in for an invited call, then kept to sing before the other non equity people danced.  It would have been even nicer to get kept further than the second cut for reading Ensemble slash U/S Dorothy sides this coming Saturday. It seems I'm always too tall, too thin, too something these days... I'll get you yet, my pretty!

As my wise dancer friend reminds me, we must never second guess ourselves. So I'll continue to work on presenting the best possible work that I can whenever I am lucky enough to have the opportunity. Today that means I'll be going to an epic bootcamp workout session with my personal trainer in the park.

Hooray for summer sun!
