So...

You think you can dance?

This used to be a question I could answer. Yes. YES. YES!

I started dancing when I was 2 in small local productions.
When I was 7 I began formally training in the Royal Academy of Dance Ballet Curriculum.
I danced full time until I was 19.

Ballet was my "thing" - meaning, it is how I was formally trained, but I never had the body or the technique to be a professional ballerina. I was the girl who could do contemporary - formerly known as "modern" dance.

I stopped dancing.

No one thought dancing was cool until recently when "So you think you can dance" showed up on Fox and now "everyone" wants to dance... but I'm about as talented as a floor tile.

Realizing I am nearing "almost 30" - meaning I am 28, will be 29 and 29 = almost 30 - and my last day to audition is 8/14/2011 (1 day before my 31st birthday), I am thinking I will devote some time to training to audition.

Thinking about what this might require:
1. I probably shouldn't have participated in the taco eating contest
2. those two margaritas and beer at dinner, maybe not a good idea
3. Nap instead of work out? no...
4. back to eating egg whites, dry cereal and coffee (that's it, all day)
5. um... finding a dance studio? (Sorry, but Ballet AZ won't cut it long term)
6. pain
7. sweat
8. work
9. ugh
10. ugh ugh

BASICALLY since I moved to AZ my predominant past time has been happy hour and since I had William - it's baking cookies while HOSTING happy hour... so my dedication is SUPER distracted, but Cripes. I have less than 2 years to maybe accomplish the ONE THING I didn't think I'd EVER get to do again - perform.

And I was good.

So. I've got to figure out how to do this.

1. God is in control
2. Please pray... I'm serious - SERIOUSLY.
3. Heavens.

Well, got to go to bed. But before I do, must do traveling lunges around the room and practice the splits.

With love.
