Here We Go...

Wednesday, September 3

Hey all!

I finally got my dance shoes, yesterday... and I had my first real rehearsal in ballroom heels last night. WOW... It was way more challenging than I ever anticipated. Dancing in those shoes is making me more nervous than I ever imagined I'd be. What if I fall on my face?!? (Although, there are probably several people who would enjoy seeing that! haha)

The tough part is remembering correct foot placement in those ballroom shoes. When you're dancing the Viennese Waltz, you're supposed to step forward, leading with your heel. That's incredibly difficult, when your heels are 2 and 1/2 inches tall! Dean says I'll feel a lot more comfortable tonight, when I strap the shoes on again. He thinks it just takes some getting used to.

I heard Frank Burke on the radio this morning, with Kim Carson, promoting Dare to Dance! He's so funny. This event is going to be so much fun for everyone involved. It's not too late to get tickets!

I wish I could sit here and blog all morning, but I better get to work. I have to run by the studio this afternoon for a final costume fitting. Then, another rehearsal tonight. I'll keep you updated!

Happy Wednesday!
