Wish Me Luck
Okay, as I'm sure most of you are aware, I dance, both competitively and recreationally. Itis literally everything to me, very few will ever understand that. I have danced since I was 3, so going on 12 years now. Wow, that is a scary number.
Anyway, tomorrow is without a doubt the most important ballet exam I will ever do whether I do it for a living or not. You see, tomorrow I sit my entry level professional exam meaning that if I pass tomorrow I will be a professionally ranked ballerina. Now that is scary!!!
This is everything I have ever worked for in my life but I am so scared I will fail because I have injured my feet really badly, and feet are the life blood of dancers. I also have to do a segment en pointe which is basically going up on your tiptoes on wooden blocks - my feet are both bruised and bloody from the hours of practices have put in.
So I guess the point of this is to find an outlet for my nervousness and hopefully get some well wishes.
And do you know the scariest thing? All of this blood, sweat and tears and yet I will never, ever be good enough to dance for a living.
