I've just read your first post again and can see the warning right there "Throw in something for expenses" means bus fare..... it was there to be seen from the beginning. even if you had the chance to state your expenses, they would not have added up to a proper fee, would they??
Newbies beware

The post I made was off topic, so I removed the whole thing. Oh well.

Amber

I wouldnt have minded.

Re: Jane

I liked your post. I just felt so bad for you and your dancers!

Amber

Now Im curious... what was there before... I missed it.

Jane

I don't know how to bring it back! Do deleted posts go to the same place as missing socks?

Well tonight was right up there...

A nursing home called and booked my students only three days in advance. I should have said no- silly me. Then they moved our building location 15 min before we were to go on. Instead of the large dining room we were told about, we danced on an outdoor deck. There were so many elderly people with walkers, chairs, etc. we couldn't get through the door to where we were supposed to dance, so we went out the front door and around the side of the building to make our enterance. I had taken off my shoes (to dance on the unexpected deck) and promptly stepped in dog poop- barefoot. As we went to get up on the deck, everyone's costumes caught in a rose bush on the way by. As soon as we got up there it was the wrong music. The next was a student solo and she also had the wrong music. And of course the next student solo was the wrong music again. Thank goodness they played it off and improvised very well I finally had an opportunity to straighten out the music situatio
n, so we had the right music for our next cane dance, but one lady was squashed against a BBQ grill and another girl got her costume soaked in the wading pool; all of which were on the deck. My left earring got stuck on the shoulder of my baladi dress for about half the dance while I was choking up on my cane to avoid smacking the deck rail. Needless to say, with all the distractions, the dance did not go quite as planned. The students came through it like champs, despite everything, and nobody noticed! Improvise, adapt, and overcome!

Once again, this is Jane's story, not mine!

Proof those posts do go somewhere! All I need now is that extravaganza to be posted on Youtube...

Did you happen to see any of my socks?

da Sage

I think they eloped with mine!

Yes but did they pay?
