All of the long weeks of planning for this dance. Calling different venues, advertising, setup, practicing a dance performance for the crowd; the entire thing came to a head last night in an epic showdown. I have never been this involved in planning for a dance before, and there is a TON of work that goes into it. Everything from where it's going to be, the dance performance, and everything in between. It is all very stressful. You can especially see the stress peaking the day of the dance. Everyone has a very short temper...I'm not personally one that let's it get to me because I feel like people are going to enjoy themselves no matter where they are or how it's set up. Everything always turns out alright in the end.
As much stress as it produced, it was all sooo worth it as I burned up the dance floor last night. We got a lot of positive critiques from the attendees - especially about the dance we performed for them. Even more stress came from this, though, as the CD that we had burned with the music that we cut for it was not working. We had to drive back to campus and get the computer on which it had been made. Once again, we pulled through the adversity of the situation and got it done and put on a good show. On that note, I was really hesitant to do the handstand, tuck-and-roll move, but in the midst of all the adrenaline I just couldn't pass up the opportunity. I'm paying for it a little bit this afternoon, hit the tile floor hard at the base of my neck, but I'm still in one piece and still walking.
After the dance was over, it was awesome to go over to a friend's house and just sit around with a small group of good company. Quiet, good conversation with a handful of great friends. It was great to have such a stress-relieving time at the dance followed up by a relaxing time to just collapse on a couch with not a care in the world.
Another successful dance. More cherished memories. Thanks again, my friends!
