Oh I have done Zumba - its... weird

I felt like a tribal warrior dancing round a camp fire ha ha... good workout though - take some 1kg weights with you for toning

I don't think I will go back though because it was £11 for a 1.5hr class and the instructor was a little odd :/

Fun times!

This, my dear is genius. I've been so excited about this since you mentioned it (and was SURE I'd commented although I haven't :/ - old age) because I think there's a huge gap in the market for this, well, for YOU actually. I can just see it - I've been planning to enter you into Britain's Got Talent when you're ready, I hope that's ok

Tickets are a tenner.

It was £20 an hour when I gave it up. Two sessions a week, when you earn £120 a week becomes kind of stupid.

I do miss dancing ocassionally, but by the end it was too expensive, and I just wasn't enjoying it as much any more. Still remember most of it mind.

BURLESQUE tonight! Yay!

I tried ballet the other day. That... was HILARIOUS. I looked like a complete moron! So so funny! I was crying with laughter! Will explain at a later date.... I'm getting more bendy though! I'm getting closer and closer to touching my head with my footsies whilst led belly down on the floor! A fair way to go... I think it's my back to be honest that's holding me up! Need a more bendy back! Wheeeeeeeeeeee!

Right! OUt go go go go go go!

Woo, did my first performance last night and I'm still buzzing!

Had a relaxed day as I only work til 11:15 on a Friday, so had a bit of a sleep, bath and packed. Phil and I had decided to stay in a hotel for the night so he dropped me off at the theatre and went to check in. I felt quite special just walking into the theatre, as I had some casual dance wear on, and my hair done. I was having my make up done there.

Our act was four of us doing a circus style performance, I was the tiger. Before our performance we were allowed to mingle but not in costume, so I had taken my beautiful ball gown, which, whilst checking out the stage, I found was uv reactive!!

Our act was due at 8:45, with the show starting at 8:15. Just before the start of the show, our first part of the act had boyfriend troubles, and I was a bit worried she wouldn't be able to perform! At 8:30 we started to warm up, and went to wait in the wings. Then the girl who was our last act had a moment of panic and said she couldn't do it! A few talks from us and our mentor and she managed not to run away! I was totally fine, in fact just ultra excited. The show was a sell out, over 100 people, and I knew Phil was in the third row.

We lined up in the wings and waited for our introduction. The crown went wild and it was so, so easy to play up to them. The first girl forgot a few parts of her routine but not so anyone would notice... Then it was my turn. It was amazing. The crown were whooping and cheering and I just strutted my routine, adding in some bits that I felt the audience wanted! I couldnt stop smiling! The end of my act was a crawl towards the front of the stage, and blow a kiss, fortunately, I spotted Phil so blew my kiss at him. The third girl was fab, and the fourth girl also managed her routine whilst looking fab!

We were cheered off the stage (definitely the longest cheer we had heard!) and went back to the green room completely elated. It wasn't long to the interval so I kept in costume and went to find Phil. As I walked through the bar, I was stopped by so many people saying they loved my act, it was like being famous. I was interviewed for the DVD of the production too!

At the start of the second half, I started to feel really, really ill. I thought it might be the corset so I went and put my ball gown back on, but was worried I'd be sick. I literally felt like that all the way to the end of the show

Once it was over, Phil and I walked to the taxi rank, and I started to feel better. I realised that in the room we were waiting in to go onto the stage was the fuel for some of the fire props people were using, and I react very badly to the smell of fuels. So fortunately that's all it was!

Definitely going to carry on with this and do a solo next time
