DONE!!!
I started shaking about 3:30 this afternoon and didn't stop until well into the second act of the show - well after I performed. I started planning for this thing about the time I could fully move my left arm again. I went through a couple of choreography false starts and ended up deciding that as long as I paid attention to all the parts of the audience and went with my strengths and enjoyed myself, it would all be okay.
It was all okay.
Of the whole thing, oddly enough, the biggest applause was when I caught an accent in the chorus and flipped my veil up to my neck and arms. Go figure.
But it's done. I made RH proud - her veil was my partner and I wanted to be worthy of it. I made M proud - she says I'm blossoming as a dancer and finding my voice. I made Mr B and Mr M confused - apparently putting in contacts and false eyelashes changes me from Clark Kent to Superman.
The Saturday show was amazing. The Sunday show was super fun. I'm really glad I got to be a part of it.
Now to wait for the DVD so I can see what I did and maybe figure out how to repeat it someday.
