I is Hurt

I'm afraid I've been binge-dancing, a dangerous pastime, I knowww.

Took ballet from Dorit Koppel (I'm obsessed with her) and then an amazing jazz class from Jeffrey "Schecky" Schecter (www.jeffreyschecter.com), yesterday at BDC.

Schecky played Mike Costa ("I Can Do That!") in the revival of a Chorus Line (he has so much energy, I'm jealous of his wife!). He was also in the recent revival of Guys & Dolls, and he taught us some of the original revival choreography. I have been taking SO much ballet lately; it was really wonderful to get back into a theatre class and remind myself how much I love dancing. Not to mention how aerobic and taxing it can be!

Jeff Schecter is also one of the focal points for the documentary Every Little Step, which follows several actors auditioning for roles in the Chorus Line 2007 revival. It's actually great film-making, whether you're a dancer or not. Check it out!

Meanwhile, I'll be icing and nursing my grouchy little muscles. Phew!
