I love a challenge!

So I think I have something to offer as a choreographer. If I didn't think my stuff was pretty hot, I wouldn't be putting it online for the world to see. This week I got another in a string of rejection letters. I applied to the DanceBreak program. Submitted a resume and application. And got denied. I didn't even get the chance to show a reel with samples of my work. I've seen people who come through that program. I've seen reels that they submit for that program. I think that even at this early stage in my career, my steps and story structure are totally comparable. Yes I have things to learn, but I won't get the chance to learn them without the opportunity to do work. So I set myself a challenge. I'm going to be a monster at submitting myself. I will send resumes to regional theaters and summerstock. I will get friends together and stage full numbers (or at least portions of numbers) to put on tape in a non-class format. And I WILL make it farther in the DanceBreak process next year. Congrats to this year's pool! Now watch your back, I'm comin' for ya!

Class "It Had Better Be Tonight"-Spice

Here's a new class combo I've been working up. I decided after seeing "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown" that it'd be smart to have a little latin flavor in my back pocket. I love some sexy social dancing and this routine gave me the chance to work out some intricate footwork which is always a challenge. That and to just live/sell some dirty spice. I think it's pretty frikkin' hot! Can't wait to stage it on some luscious fiery dancers...
