I decided to wear my pink and blue butterfly costume which is pretty and light-weight. I managed to put the skirt on backwards! But, I fixed it before my turn.
The Saturday before, I managed to pinch a nerve in my back while stretching in class. Go figure! I woke up with some moderate back pain... Enough that made me worry about dancing but I'm the type of person who will plow through that. Maybe it wasn't safe but I wasn't going to cancel.
In the end, my back actually felt better after dancing! I LOVE performing! I'm not an attention whore but my happiest moment is making people smile or enjoy their time with me. So when people really liked it, I felt really happy.
Today, I took the advanced level test and I decided to go with a choreography I knew very well and my body knew very well. I chose "Arabawy" because it's fun and I love anything from Tito!! It was a good thing that I practiced the whole song and not just 3 minutes because they stopped my song four and a half minutes in! The song is 5:30 long!
Technique wasn't too hard but I hope I passed. I was a little nervous but I think I danced fairly well. I'll find out on Monday! I forgot about being sick but sure as hell felt it AFTER... I'm glad my nose stopped running during that time and I didn't sneeze!
I caught a cold on Wednesday and cut practice short because I felt ill and looked mighty pale... Still feeling icky but my nose will not stop running!
