So - I went into the Fosse class room - and Cara walked in and thought "Oh I must be in the wrong room - Megan is here" - and left. Meanwhile - people from Jana's class came into the fosse room asking "Is Jana in here today" - and I had to correct them all - explaining - no - I am actually taking Fosse - for once - I was good! I ate my leafy greens and left the gooey chocolate cake alone!
I was heinous in the class - but I did manage to have a good time. We had to pick partners - and Kat magnanimously offered to be my partner and protect me - we did some crazy Yankee Doodle Disco number in honor of the 4th of July. It was hard - it was fast - I was bad - but I also DID it - which is a step in the right direction - and I smiled throughout - which is great!
Afterwards - Kat and I rented a tap studio and ran through the seagull tap dance. She helped me with my triple time steps, double pull backs - and rhythms - which I REALLLLLLY needed help with. It was really great and helpful. I'm glad she learned it with me - she is a great tapper - and a good patient teacher!
I got home in time to practice voice before Michael got home. I sang a few high Ds - they are getting stronger - in a short amount of time - which is what needs to happen - so that is good.
I then drank some special Yogi tea that is supposed to be good for the throat - singers - and public speakers. I usually HATE tea - but this was AMAZING! I LOVED it - it may be better than cookies and even - GASP - ice cream! What is going on! How strange! How wonderful! How fabulous!
Tomorrow Alena - and this very cool intelligent fellow director/performer named Avi and I are going to Weehawken to see a tribute to Jerome Robbins - starring my tap teacher and Sierra - and directed by one of the theatre dance teachers at Steps. So that should be fun and hopefully educational!
I also just felt the need to express my love of leotards. I LOOOOVE leotards. I guess all girls have their shopaholic weaknesses. For MOST it's shoes - but for me - its LEOTARDS! I remember when I was a kid - I went through a period where all I wanted to wear was leotards. Perhaps it was a prophecy of things to come. I still only want to wear leotards! I love all the different styles - the backs - the linings - the materials - how each creates such a different mood - a different character - evokes a different feeling and a different aspect of your dancing and personality. The king of leotards in my world is the YUMIKO! Yumikos somehow manage to make every body look amazing! Morever, you can choose virtually any color combination or fabric combination you want - custom design them if you will! They are so comfortable! I just love them! They make me super happy. They are like little pretty confections of happiness. I know it's super lame to get so much joy out of a leotard - but I do - and I'm ok with that!:)
I have also learned - I am not a huge fan of short stories - I much prefer the full length versions. It's so disappointing when you get attached to a character - and then they simly disappear a few pages later - and you have to become friends with an entirely new set of characters and acquainted with an entirely new world. It's exhausting - and relatively unrewarding in my opinion. (I suppose a collection of ghost stories is another matter entirely...and there are alwas a few short stories gems - such as THE NECKLACE - but as a whole - I better enjoy complete works!)
I believe that is all for now. Another day of work waits! Maybe one day the training will turn into work - and that will make me super happy! It WILL turn into work.
