Hey Everyone!

How's everyone doing? I've been good.

Here's a question for today's meeting:

What was your most embarassing dance moment?

Mine would have to be... oh I have a good one. I went to the Rockette exprerience... and I didn't know my height so I put down a really small #. We were sorted into groups, and I was put down as the 2nd smallest person out of like 50 people! I was really much taller. So when I put into the group, there was a small person, then a big person, then the rest were small people. Clumsy me...

lol

Hahahaha!!

Mine would have to be... hmmm

Oh, yes, I have a good one. Or two. I love them both.

Ok, so this September, I was just starting ballet. We were supposed to do ballet runs across the floor and then grande jete. I had done grande jetes before and always had trouble getting up enough speed. I was so focused on getting speed, I did a REAL run (arms and everything) and then when I grande jete-ed, I shoved my arms up to the sloppiest fifth I've ever seen. Did I mention the arms were supposed to be in first? Haha. It was hilarious.

A few weeks ago, we were doing barrel turns/barrel rolls (the teacher called them both, I'm not sure which it is) They're this thing where you do a small turn and then leap, arching your back as if over a barrel. I was working so hard on doing them, I forgot to spot. All of a sudden, WHAM! "Who put that mirror there?"

Oh, my. Nice one, Marian. jk lol.

Well I definitely have one...It's kinda PG-13 though...

I had a SUPER fast costume change in Nutcracker, and we were in this tiny room backstage wear we had to completely strip down and change costumes, and my friends like "uh are you ok" and I'm like "yea I'm fine", and then I look down, guess who "started" during the show and didn't realize it!!!! Of course I had to be onstage any second and so I didn't have time to go to my dressing room on the other side of the building to get anything...ugh it totally stunk!!!

I challenge ANYONE to top THAT...

Well i can't top that one Liz, poor you!

Mine's doesn't seem all that bad now but it was terrible at the time.
One day i was in ballet class, pretty tired because i had been dancing all day before hand and so i really wasn't paying much attention. So the teacher decides that we should all go into the centre and practice our pirouettes.
The class was peaceful and calm, the music lilting softly in the background. Everyone turning gracefully, double pirouette "endidor". WHAM!!!! I crashed to the floor. i have satin flats which are pretty worn out and are now REALLY slippy and as i was turning i just... well, decked it. I was so embarassed. There are only around 8 people in my ballet class and most of them are amazing; they gave me such funny looks while was sprawled out on the floor.
i got up and then suddenly they all burst out laughing; oh, we laughed for the rest of the lesson. THE SHAME! THE SHAME!
Mines is really not that bad now that i look at it but knowing me i'll have another blush worthy moment very soon.
love
mazie

can I join this?

im trying to think..I dont really have an embarassing dance moment.... hm....

Well..this isnt really embarassing but its kind of funny. We had to do grand jetes all the way across the floor, and on the last one I rammed right into the wall.

and I have another one that is extremely embarassing but im not sure if it counts because it wasnt for dance persay. Well, I was at a bat mitzvah in grade 5 and I wore a dress that I had just bought. Well, I started to dance around, and all of a sudden I noticed that everybody was staring at me. I was like huh? I looked down and one of the straps on my dress had fallen down and you could see everything. I hid for the rest of the night.. he he
