I Feel Soo Special!

So today was a long day at work since like NO ONE came into the store! But i got to relax and anjoy some time outside with Syliva. And of course we got paid today, always a good day :) After work i headed over to the studio for dance. In jazz we went over our "Hunter" dance since we had to teach it to Adrianna!
Once we got through that we realized we had not listened to our tapes from D-Force. So i grabbed those and we popped our jazz tapes in the stereo. The 2 female judges said basically the same things "great attack, need to stay more together on your tunrs, great personalities". So we're thinkin' 'eh not too shabby'. Then we put in the guys tape, and right off the bat he's like "ooh great entrance, great costumes". and then at about the 35 second mark the guy pipes up again. "Ok. so. the girl in the centre at the back, the blonde. She's performing to 'beat the band'. And you all have to match performance quality. Like you're all terrific, but she's diggin' in her soul". That was ME :) I feel so special!! apparently the phrase "beat the band" means something good, i can't remember what Gwen said it meant exactly, but i have to say i felt damn special being mentioned!
So after that lovely moment we ran our Hunter dance again, then switched to tap. So i had brought in the tap tapes. Again we started with the 2 female judges. They again said most of the same things "be sure to watch your time at the beginning, these 3 dance really well together, great faces, you obviously know this dance really well there's no hesitation". Which if they'd seen the dance like 4 weeks ago, LOL ..::2-1-2-1-None::.. Then again on the guys tape, this time not till the end he starts singing our song, and then you hear him get this kinda raspy voice and he's like "Yah, Sell it. Selllll it Stage Left! Alright!! All you girls you're really 'livin it up' right now i'm lovin it. Totally enjoying this number its great. You did a great job of it. Right On. Love it. Fantastic. Good Job". All i have to say is this guy must've liked whatever i was doing that day cuz that was ME on stage left :) I dunno what came over me at this comeptition but I just have to say Mr. Danny James Austin just made my week!!! We're not exactly the most competitive studio and to be complimented like that was just awesome! I'm super happy bout that! These were like the best judges cuz they gave actual constructive critizm!!
Well...after all that excitement now i have to go to bed...we're off to BLO tomorrow!

till next time...
