February 4th, Chinese New Year !
Our group Heart and Sole have been asked to perform at Tinseltown in Chinatown, and have we got our work cut out for us !
We will be performing a soft shoe number to Willy Nelson's "on the Sunny Side of the Street which I have been struggling with now for weeks, but its coming, and hopefully by then , the muscle memory will kick in.
We all learn differently, and, at my age, the only way I seem to get it is to do it over and over and over.
Thank god for the internet, as now we video all of our sessions so we can do "homework" on our steps and be a little more prepared
We will also be doing a few other numbers that we have performed in the past, "You Make Me Feel So Young " " Choo Choo Cha Boogie " Feeling Good " Shim Sham Shimmy " "More" to name a few.
Tap is such a rollercoaster once you decide you want to stay on for the ride.
Some days you feel like you are soaring and are on top of the world, then you plateau and don't seem to go anywhere, which can be very frustrating.
New steps and combinations come to challenge you ALL the time and it becomes quite a love hate love relationship.
But, once you get a combination you have been struggling with and it really kicks in, there is nothing like it.. YES ! I GOT IT !
I know I have been promising pics, and will definitely make that one of my New Years resolutions, that, and totally pimping out this blog for followers, 4 or 5 really doesn't cut it !
If any of you (all 5 of you at this point !) are in the neighbourhood, catch the show at Tinseltown Feb. 4th at 6 pm, you'll probably hear us before you see us !
We'll be there!
