Our Carla was feeling under the weather Friday night, so I asked her how she was doing. Her reply "get ready. there's a good possibility I could be calling out tomorrow....... ok?" followed by the little Genny laughter we love so much. So, I went home and listened to the Carla recording I have on my ipod for the entire car ride. With Natalie, we went through her entire show!
I got the text the next morning and IT WAS TIME. I was on.
I got to the theater extra early, I did my hair in amazing crazy curls, put on my HOT pink lipstick and before I knew it, I was in the middle of "circle" @ our "places" call with 20 or so hands on me, blessing my performance. Shaun said some very personal and caring words that made me tear up just before my debut!
Let me just say it was the most fulfilling performance of my LIFE. :) I have always told myself that my voice came second; I am a DANCER first. I was intimidated my contract even said "Carla U/S" at first, but the time is now to take a step in my career. I was finally forced, or given the opportunity (either/or) to have confidence in my skills. I CAN DO IT. I CAN hold my own in a principle role. I CAN MOVE UP from here!!!! It is POSSIBLE. Dreams DO come true. Believe it!! hehe
