The souran performance
Apr. 27th, 2009 09:56 amWe were the opener for both acts of the local talent show. I set the tone by slipping and falling on my ass within the first four steps.
Recovered swiftly, though, and managed to fumble through the rest of this amazingly intricate dance which I've only rehearsed three times while only looking slightly like the troupe's pet foreign monkey. Must order myself some actual rubber-grip-soled tabi; naturally, such things are not sold in my size within a 200-mile radius. Aaaaaand otherwise I'm just trying to dance, deep steps, hops, and all, in dry socks on a polished stage. Ahaha.
Second round was great, though! Our signature act. No slip-ups. I was having a lot of fun, grinning the whole time and moving in that clockwork sync with twenty others of all ages. (In real shoes.)
Join me next week, when I do it all again with actual practice under my belt this time.
