I would like to thank the academy!

I would like to thank the academy for the "learning to dance without falling off the stage" award. Presented by Jill Whitney. It is an honor just to be nominated but to actually win!! I would like to thank all the little people that helped me get this award, Hip Hop Abs, Jenny for telling me not to dance--Take that! :) To the Cache Regional Theatre company for taking me on and letting me dance. And to Charlotte our choreographer who patiently taught me the triple foot thing! Which it actually has a name but I have no idea what it is. So I made it through the play without falling off my heels and then falling off the stage onto the laps of the front row. What an experience the play was. Something that I will always remember. I loved every single minute of it. From the three nights a week practice, to helping build plates and cutlery. I even enjoyed the wearing of the tights and the massive amounts of makeup. I think some of the hardest things were the dancing (obviously) the wearing of high heels and being so short that my skirt drug on the ground, so a lot of times when I had to squat/kneel on stage then tried to get up and have your skirt stay on the ground. I did almost de-skirt myself several times, but I had bloomers on so it wouldn't have been as embarrassing. After all of that, I want to do more. I have met a wonderful group of friends, that I know I will have for a very long time. So thanks again to the academy! Hopefully my next award will be Outstanding Performance...you fill in the blank!

I heart the background of your blog. Annnd, the fact that you can dance (even if you had fallen off stage) is more than I can say. :) P.s. I hear we might be NY at the same time!
