It's Hard to be a Pigaloo...

So, we had auditions for TBA Theatre's production of Treasure Island this weekend, and they were so much fun! About 60 people auditioned for the show, and we're only going to be able to cast about half of them. And everyone did a great job! All the cuts are going to be hard to make. Erin is directing the show, and I'm just choreographing, so all those tough decisions come down to her. (Ha-ha!)

As part of auditions, I taught everyone dance steps to "Yo Ho Ho & a Bottle of Rum," which is a very fun pirate song. And it had some tricky stuff in it, which everyone did awesome with, especially with the short amount of time. On day two, I worked with the younger kids that we are considering for Pigaloos. The Pigaloos are a native islanders ala Pirates of the Carribean 2, so I was working with them on lots of low to the ground gruff islander dancing, which was a great quad workout. Then I sat for 3 hours, and then went to an hour and a half long show, and then went to a panal discussion with Dawson Moore (which was great!). Now, two days later, I can barely walk my legs hurt so much. Stretching is definitely not for dummies.

Despite the sore legs, I am very excited about how well everyone did at auditions, and I cannot wait for the first rehearsal tomorrow!
