JOT is less than a month away!!!

So you are probably wondering what JOT is? JOT stands for Jazz on Tap. This is a dance festival that takes place on the first weekend of March in Atlanta. It is probably the most exciting part of dancing besides when we travel to Chicago. JOT is always a good time for all of the dancers to get to spend time together outside of the dance studio. It is about three weekends away and everyone is already becoming really excited. Not only do we get to perform a few dances at JOT but we also get to take some really amazing master classes. The dance classes are always fun because they are taught by some really amazing dance teachers. The combinations that we are taught in class are always really amazing. I can still remember parts of some dances that I learned three or four years ago. I have to be honest the best part of JOT would probably have to be the little bit of shopping that we get to do before we have to dance. It is always nice to get to have a little stress relief before we have to perform the next day. The second best part of JOT would have to be when we go out to eat after performing. When the show has ended it is about 11:00 at night and the restaurant stays open just for us every year. Even though we are always exhausted from performing and taking class we always seem able to find some energy to enjoy the rest of the night. It is always sad when we have to get up the next morning and travel back to Owensboro so that we can make it home it time for rehearsal at 12:00 that afternoon. Even though it is an exhausting weekend I can't wait. Starbucks is the best :)
