Short post tonight, sorry :P
I ALMOST forgot to look today, but only almost. Truths have a way of finding me, and that's something I love.
Anyways.
Tonight in tap I was trying my hardest to do these druist one-footed pull-backs, and I just can't seem to get 'em. And there's three girls in our class who have obviously danced for awhile, are in company, are older than everyone else, and 'therefore superior' yada yada yada . . . . . .all that good stuff.
Moving on.
And so
Here's me.
Hasn't danced in awhile.
Been sick
Before that barely had a tap class worth speaking of
Unable to do something so seemingly simple.....to them, second nature almost.
But then.
We went to do wings.
Here's the truth: Up until tonight, I was mortally terrified of wings.
TERRIFIED
And then
Tonight
I nailed 'em.
NAILED 'EM.
You just have to do it sometimes. Just do it. Bite the bullet. Grit your teeth. Say a quick prayer, and do it.
And I did. And so we went on down the line and, know what? Theirs were faster and higher and wider and bigger than mine.
But that doesn't matter
'Cause mine were crisper.
You just have to slow down, back up, and keep trying sometimes. Just slow down. Don't go for huge. Don't go for epic. Try for satisfactory first. Then work up.
