Yes, believe it or not, I have now performed a "solo" routine at a dance showdown event. Stephanie suggested this as a nice way to prepare for DWTWS...testing how to handle nerves, finding things we can improve, and getting the feel for performing for an audience. Really great idea - but, not going to lie, a bit terrifying. But we ended up having a great time too!!!! I will share only a "snippet" (for now) of the video. Don't want to give everything away for October 26th! Some images of other moments in the dance. I think (hopefully?) the video and images show two things: 1) How much I have improved and 2) That there is joy and fun in our dancing. Three weeks to go...and I am not done with either of those points! This picture, frankly, was a bit of a rough start...for some reason I took an extra step and messed up my leap. Some other spots that I for sure want to fix...a later spot when i carried more momentum than I wanted and had a hard time stoping
