The Ballroom was full today as final touches were being put
on showcase routines. You can truly feel this incredible energy that shoots
through you as soon as you ascend the stairs. I pause for a few seconds and
take in everything that is going on before moving to my position in the studio.
Today Antonio and I warm up to
rhythm. During the East Coast Swing I’m feeling a bit off and Antonio points
out that I need to slow down- just like I need to make every word count and
speak words that edify, build up and don’t tear down, I need to make every
movement count. I was getting lost in Will.I.AM and Britney
Song “Scream and Shout” and the emotion of the music made me forget everything!
I have to figure out how to feel the music without losing my form. I was still
feeling a bit hurried during Rumba but began to slow down some during the
Cha-Cha making a mental note to relax.
As we moved into choreography I
could feel I did well -even the last part! I got an amazing compliment from
Masha which meant a lot as I admire her so much. When we did the choreography
again I panicked and began to second guess myself as I was missing a couple of
steps. I could feel Antonio getting frustrated as he knows that I know the
choreography. We did it one more time and I got it perfect. Antonio
congratulates me and gives some words of encouragement. If I can just stop
second guessing myself! Even so I feel my confidence and boldness growing with
every lesson.
