One night down and two to go.<\/p>\n<p>I got hit with a yucky cold this week, which really dragged down my spirits for the dance recital.  Nevertheless, I went to the spacing run throughs and dress rehearsals to get my girls in prime condition.  They had their first show last night and another tonight and tomorrow afternoon.  I&#8217;m helping with quick costume changes during the shows (though not Sunday&#8217;s) and Christina has me come out with the teachers to be introduced and bow at the end of the show.  It&#8217;s really weird to be on a stage and not have anyone to search for in the audience.  In fact, I haven&#8217;t been on a stage in a long time!  Maybe Christina (the dance program director) will wrangle me into dancing on one.  She hinted at it earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve posted one of the dances I choreographed on <a href=\"http:\/\/video.google.com\/videoplay?docid=2222194458685822327\">Google Video<\/a>.  Please consider the following excuses while viewing:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This was the dress rehearsal, so Christina makes some comments and there&#8217;s no applause at the end.<\/li>\n<li>This was the first time the girls had to do the entire show full out without stopping.<\/li>\n<li>They&#8217;ve already been dancing for 1 1\/2 hours, mostly grand and petit allegros.<\/li>\n<li>My dances are the last two in the show, so they are completely wiped out by this point.<\/li>\n<li>They didn&#8217;t have a warm-up that day.<\/li>\n<li>In my haze of sickness, I neglected to turn off the auto-focus and adjust for low lighting, so the quality is poor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is probably the 3rd worst performance they&#8217;ve given of my dance, because of the above mentioned factors.  They did much better last night, and I&#8217;m proud of their final performances.  I&#8217;ll get a professionally made DVD of the show later, and I&#8217;d be happy to show any family and friends what it really looked like.  This is just a taste.<\/p>\n<p>And now that I&#8217;m filled with yummy panang curry, I&#8217;m going to get ready for tonight&#8217;s show.
