FACC Dancers

I was hoping that the performance was going to be kick ass. Instead, it was more of "watch out for broken glass." DOH! Nerves were running high today as we arrived at the hall and the kids noticed "how hard the floor was." Um, compared to soft floors??? Considering that they've only practiced and performed on carpet, I could see their concerns. But my theory was, if they could do it on carpet, they could do it anywhere else, yes?

The dance started off well. They had big smiles on their faces and they were together on their moves. All of a sudden, the sound of glass shattering came not on one side, but on two sides! If I remember correctly, it was almost in stereo. Aiya! Well, as I had told them prior to performing, it the glass falls and breaks, just keep on going the best that you could. The dance must go on. Well luckily, all these people armed with brooms and programs tried to sweep the majority of the glass to the side while the kids kept dancing. Yes, they KEPT dancing! Poor Mitsy and Jedi tried their best to avoid stepping on shards of glass, but they continued on.

Since there were only three couples, big ups have to go to the center couple, B and Maria, for getting through the entire dance without dropping or breaking any glasses. I know B must've been proud because he basically made up for his flub the last time. Yes, he has redeemed himself! Lol! Him and Jez were dope as they both got through the segment of balancing the glass on their foreheads as they got up from a lying down position. Ya'll made it look easy!

Though the performance itself wasn't the best, at least they looked good costume and hair wise. Hee hee! Speaking of hair, it was hilarious to see Gabo get an almost haircut. It seems that the glass kept slipping from his forehead because his hair was all up in his eyes. After the "almost cut" with a pair of dulled scissors, Ate P decided to use some clips and hairspray to get his overgrown locks out of the way. It was cool to actually see Gabo's eyes, but for a while there, he was looking like a girl! Aw man...where was the camera when you needed it?

Since we had arrived at the hall way early, hubby and I had a chance to just chill with the kids. The energy was too funny. One moment, it'd almost be dead silence because everyone was bored...the next, it was SO loud that all you heard was, "Eh? What did you say?" and "I said...." As hubby would say, we all talked story, had our laughs, took some pictures, etc. I have to say that aside from the performance that wasn't, this was the major plus of the day.

In any case, look forward to a pic of the dancers. Yes, I even got camera shy Mitsy in it...whoo hoo! Score! So she wasn't too thrilled to be forced to be in it...oh well! =)
