Pain
This week a choreographer has come in from New York to choreograph and set a piece on the company. Yesterday was the first day for us to learn the piece. I was at dance from 1-7. I never knew that six hours could go by so slowly and painfully. I really enjoying learning his pieces and his new technique that he is trying to create is amazing. However it is so different than what I am used to doing. He also has us dance with bare feet. I don't have that many callouses on the bottom of my feet so it is really painful for me to have to dance without shoes for long periods of time. After we got out of rehearsal yesterday I didn't even want to put any shoes on because the bottom of my feet felt like they were on fire. The bottom of my feet were raw and it was like the whole layer of my foot and rubbed off. I also got blisters on the bottom of my toes which makes it extremely difficult for me to walk. After I left dance yesterday all I wanted to do is to soak my feet and then go to sleep. When I woke up this morning I didn't think that I was going to be able to get out of bed. Every muscle in my body ached. Even though it is extremely painful the pain shows me that I am doing something right. If I wasn't in pain when I woke up that would mean that I hadn't done anything right and that I didn't do my best. However sometimes I wish that I hadn't done my best because then I wouldn't be so sore. Luckily today I didn't have to climb up any steps because if I did I don't know that I could have made. Every time I get up some bone in my body cracks. I just have to look at the light at the end of the tunnel because I know that Jon Lehrer is an amazing choreographer and it is going to be an awesome piece. I just have to dance out the soreness and when I wake up tomorrow I will be just as sore and I will have to start the whole process over again. Starbucks is amazing!!!!!!!!!
