Dance Recital

This past weekend I was in a dance recital. The dance school I took lessons from my whole life, Kim's School of Dance, celebrated 30 years. I danced with them for 17 years. I learned tap, jazz and ballet at the school.
It was a sweet return to the stage at the Princess Theater in Decatur, Alabama. My sister said I looked a little lost in parts of the dance. I only learned the tap dance on Saturday. I did get the part when I was on the front row...the most important part. Vacations and being out of town kept me from making it to all the practices. So I had to learn a whole bunch of 8 counts in about 2 hours Saturday.
I did get one thing right! I kicked my legs so high in the kick line I looked like a Rockette...o.k. I may be exaggerating a bit. I had a blast though. I forgot how much fun it was to be on the stage dancing with the bright colored, hot lights shining down on you and the loud music blaring. You can't even see who is out in the audience, but you can hear everyone cheering. Good stuff!
