I don't think I ever talked about the first rehearsal for the show I'm going to be dancing in. I've always prided myself on being very quick to pick up new choreography, but I found it really hard. Not the choreography itself, which is repetitive and not that difficult, but getting the choreography to stick in my brain. Plus I seemed to be having left/right issues, and I was always on the wrong foot. Of the six of us there, 3 had done the dance in the last show, and 3 of us were just learning it, but I seemed to be the only one having problems. It was really frustrating.
Because of the long weekend, that's the only rehearsal we've had so far, and I think there's only one more coming up before the show. I've tried to practice at home, but... well, if I can't remember it, I can't practice it. I'm feeling really unhappy about this. This is why I hated team sports so much as a kid - I was fully aware that I sucked, and I didn't want my lack of ability to drag everybody else down too.
I don't know, I've blown this up so much in my head that I'm ready to just say I can't do it. But I don't want to back out of a commitment. There's reason that I just do this for fun, though, and why I'm still dancing at the same level after a few years. I'm just not a natural dancer. It's fun, and I love it, and I think I actually look pretty good when I have a lot of practice, but it's just not in my body.
