Cache of the Day - Dance Recital




It's hard to believe that we work an entire year (we started last August) to perform for less than 10 minutes on stage, but it's true! Of course, the real fun is practicing every week, learning new dance steps, selecting our dance music and costumes, and other such preparatory events.

Okay, those of you who know me know that the REAL fun is the performance. The ideal situation would be to instantly know the dance and be able to PERFORM every week instead of PRACTICE. Unfortunately, you can't have a great performance without the practice, as I've found out. And given my decided lack of talent when it comes to dancing, I really need to practice more than those who are naturally gifted.


Taylor is just the opposite and would rather practice and NEVER perform. She has proclaimed herself to have Social Anxiety Disorder and thus doesn't like to even SPEAK to people much less PERFORM for them. Despite this, she had a FABULOUS performance, and felt that she did her personal best on each of her dances.

It was a long year and a long evening, but we had a great time.
