dancers don't sweat... they glow!

So COF Dance Project is in full swing again, and due to my silly idea of signing up for a total of 5 dances I feel as though I have pulled every muscle in my body. Also I can officially say that I do in fact feel the burn and it burns like a mother. But time and time again I have to remind myself that I have a passion for this and that I have been doing this since I was three. I remember my first dance recital, I did a ballet number to the song (and no I am not making this up) "Benny The Magic Bunny". I wore a little tutu with bunny ears and a bunny tail, and I was the cutest damn thing ever (totally bet the following years costume, eskimo, for sure). My mom still talks about how she remembers me dancing around the house, and wanting so badly to wear the costume to school, everyday for the rest of my life.

Dancing is in my blood, many people do not know this but my mom was a fantastic dancer when she was studying at Duval Dance studio. I do not think I am half as good as my mom, especially when it comes to ballet or pointe but I try and I put my all into it. I am very excited, I have a few idea's for next semester when it comes to doing my own piece but for now here is what the line up looks like:

Contemporary: Left Behind- Spring Awakening
The Dance- Charolette Martin
Tap: All That Jazz- Chicago The Musical
*Another Tap Number But Not Sure What The Music Is Yet*

Pointe: Shallow Lungs- The Sleeping (its weird, and may not be pointe)

All I can say, so far, I am going to have to dance my ass off (excuse the pun towards that lame oxygen show) to perfect all of this choreography.

Have a good week : ]
