Tonight was the red carpet showing of our Winter Showcase Dance. I busted out on my tailored tux. Took a few minutes tying my bow tie (it’s been a while since I’ve tied one). My wife wore a beautiful black dress. We rolled out in style.
Upon arrival, we see a gathering of glamorously dressed dancers and instructors ready for the show. After a group line dance (Cuban Shuffle), the show begins.
Dance after amazing dance, we watch our talented peers perform their dazzling routines.
And when our dance comes on, my eyes stayed glued to the screen. A mix of emotions came over me.
First, I was extremely happy with the performance. With limited practice time and a tough routine, I would say we pulled it off quite well.
Second, I was impressed by how the production came out. The dynamic filming angle made me feel engaged in the action.
Finally, I felt immensely proud of myself and my wife. I think oftentimes, when we put in hard work, we don’t appreciate the results. It’s easy to get caught in the rat race, going from one thing to another.
Tonight, it felt very nice to be able to celebrate the work and accomplishments from all the dancers.
Thank you to the Fred Astaire Dance Studios Princeton staff!
