It's that time again

Nutcracker!

Auditions are today, and I'm on my way out to help out. I'm not sure if I've mentioned that the dance studio I taught at for a decade had to close abruptly this summer, a casualty of the economic downturn. The previous owner, Jennifer Greene, is now teaching at another studio and staging her old Nutcracker with her own costumes and sets. (Which the owner of this studio purchased from her as a whole).
So I'm kind of helping out. I've taught a few of Jenny's ballet classes while she was in Brazil for a few weeks, now she's back and I'm coming to the auditions because, well, I know all the dances. I'll probably help her cast the roles, maybe do some restaging if I want, and will likely be performing as well. It's an easy place to be. No pressure. :)
Especially since I've had foot pain for over ten months now, this bout of plantar fasciitis is keeping me from being nearly as active as I want. Send me good healing vibes and thoughts, I sure miss being able to use my foot as a dancer should.

peace!
