Camp Jitterbug = AWESOME

The beginning of the event was a bit rocky for me, partly because I didn't have any of my Rochester dance friends there. Of course I knew people and met people, but obviously you can't develop such great friendships in such a short weekend. Also, I was inexplicably and hopelessly exhausted for most of the weekend, including both Friday and Saturday night dances, so that was really annoying. I couldn’t hardly keep my eyes open, and I didn’t feel like myself at all, especially not in classes.

It’s funny because I’m sure non-dancers will read this and say… you got 4 hours of sleep and you have been dancing/walking/socializing non-stop, of course you should be tired. But there is a certain high that usually comes with these events that I guess I didn't have for a little while. It came back though!

The dancing last night and all day today made up for it completely, when I finally got back into the “swing” of things. Getting hit in the face by Davis only temporarily slowed down the night =P

Also, I am starting to realize how much I love solo jazz… in the past two weeks of crazy awesome dancing and classes, my favorite work shops have been solo classes, and it is something I really plan on working on. Sakarias' classes are all on the top of my list, so if we get him in Rochester for workshops I'd pee my pants. Maybe. Probably not, but I'd be really excited anyways.
