Cut the Crap

Urinetown is my kind of town! Once again, I am blessed with a wonderful cast. Everyone moves very well. Rehearsals have been running very smoothly and pain-free. Nothing more painful than a rehearsal filled with repetition because the cast members have two left feet or can't remember the material from rehearsal to rehearsal.

Unrelated to the cast of Urinetown....

okay...people here's the poop scoop.

Adults in STL have this notion that it is enough to just muddle their way through a dance audition. HMMMMM. Interesting. Don't you want to be good at everything?

I have one thing to say: Cut the crap!

There are several great classes out there for ADULTS to learn the basics of dance needed for Musical Theatre. In fact, I can think of one phenomenal place that puts Adults with Adults. The biggest concern that I hear is "will I be in a class with teenagers?". Well, here's how it works.... If all adults have that fear and don't sign up for classes. Yes, you will be in class with teenagers, because they signed up, they come to class, and they stick with it for more than three lessons.
The tuition is needed from the teenagers to pay the teacher. If enough Adults sign-up, then they can have a class all to themselves away from the dreaded teenager....(they are actually truly great people. Remember, we were all teenagers once...)

ADULTS: If you want Adult dance classes get out there and sign up (at Leaping Lizards of course). -AND- Get your friends to sign up. - AND- Be committed. Know that three lessons does not make a great dancer. If the class dwindles down to nothing than the class goes bye-bye.

In a couple of months you will know enough to be comfortable at that next audition. You will also relieve everyone from the pain of having to watch you freak out. Oh yeah, its good for ya too. Dancing is a great way to work out.

Who knows? In a couple years you might look like Jeff Pruett on stage.

If you don't know Jeff, just picture a beautiful man who moves like buttah!
