All the time.
I don't know if you've seen the vid of my first performance (the video is only about 14 seconds), but other than my bra strap slipping off my shoulder, I didn't do
too bad.
However, when I performed that
same dance routine at the OU Ren Faire, I was
sooo bad, that I was too embarrassed to post the vid on this forum; I
still groan when I watch it. What makes it really bad is that I KNOW that routine like the back of my hand!
However, if it will make you feel any better, I can find that video, if you wish, and post it here, just so you will truly know that we all have our off days (of course, me still being a newbie, I have more "off" days than "on," hehe).
I don't know why, but for some reason that day, I just felt so off-kilter, like I wasn't mentally prepared, although I know the dance by heart. Looking back, I think a lot of it was due to a lack of sleep the night before. I was SO excited about the next day, that I only got 3 hours of sleep that night! The next day, I was so exhausted, but still excited. Newbie enthusiasm---it's a joy, and a
killer at the same time. :rolls eyes:
