Standing on the edge of fame!

Well, maybe not quite! Lol!  Yes, we have been recalled to a second audition, and this time I think I will be terrified!  Managed to fluff my routine in the ‘easy’ audition, but somehow was asked back, so heaven help me in the next one.  I am thankfully being put in a group that “they feel I would be more suited to”!  Thought I had gone a step too far when I put my name down for being able to do ‘pointe’ work.  Realisation dawned on me on the way home that I hadn’t done pointe work for 30 years, but, and I would like people to note this, I went home, dug out my old pointe shoes (yes, I still have them and, in fact, Jenna wore them for her last pointe exam!), put them on and danced ‘en pointe’ around the kitchen.  Bloody killed my feet for the all of 3 seconds that I managed, but I was able to do it.  So I was extremely grateful when I got the e-mail this morning saying that I wasn’t being put forward for the pointe group.  Jenna, on the other hand, was!  Having nearly pooped herself, she contacted them and told them she didn’t have any pointes at the moment, so they, phew, have put her into a ‘general dance group’, like mother!  What a giggle!

Well, my audition is on Wednesday 22nd at 6 p.m. so lots and lots of zumba is going to take place between now and then!

Shakin’ our booties!

Well, yesterday, my elder daughter, Jenna, and I, plus my bestest friend who I have known since I was 2, headed up to London to audition for the Olympic Opening and Closing ceremonies, and what a hoot we had!  We gave it our all and came out grinning from ear to ear.  The people were wonderful, all the auditionees were so friendly, and my hips didn’t hold me back – not once did I give them a thought.  Even if we don’t get in, I know I can boogie with the best of them and not have my hips let me down! Lol!

 

Will update whether we get to go for a second audition as soon as we know!
