Dance Dance and More Dance

Why hello there!

I am so super excited for the next 2 weeks! I am going to be so busy but it will definitely be worth it.
Last week a message was sent round saying if any dancers were interested in some paid work over several nights to dance at the local event near me called Screamfest. It happens every year at this place called Adventure Farm in Tatenhill. There's basically 4 scare attractions (Soul Seekers, The Field of Screams, Slasher and the one I'll be dancing at is Nocturnal). I'll leave the behind scenes video of Nocturnal below so you can see what it's all about:



To cut a rather long story short my friend from dance asked if I was interested in doing it with her. At first I didn't want to but in the end I decided to say yes because one of my new years resolutions was to push out of my comfort zone a bit more and I knew that if I had said no I would have regretted it. Also I will get paid £40 a night, so £120 for 3 nights of dancing sounds pretty good to me!
I will be dancing from 7pm-11pm but depending on how busy it is on the night is it might run shorter or later.

I also have another big dance event at the end of October which is my dance show! I am sooooo excited and they are my favourite thing to do. My dance school does them every 2 years and it will definitely be the highlight of my year! I am doing so many routines this year including 2 duets to Billy Jean - Michael Jackson and Step In Time - Mary Poppins. Other songs I will be dancing to include, Vogue - Madonna, The Pink Panther theme tune, Car Wash - Rosa Royce, Please Don't Stop the Music - Rhianna, and many more. It's going to be a jam packed show lasting 2 nights (1 show on Fri 31st, and 2 shows on Sat 1st Nov) with a lot of quick changes.
The best thing about dance shows is you basically get to spend so much time with all your amazing friends having a huge laugh, wearing loads of different costumes and getting the adrenaline rush from performing. It is amazing!

So as well as having long days at uni and shifts at work I also have lots of dance rehearsals, a paid dance job at Screamfest and my dance show. I don't know how I am going to fit this all in and still get sleep but dancing is my favourite thing to do so where there's a will, there's a way.

THE SHOW MUST GO ON!
