my feet!
Tonight I drilled the kids in their hard shoes for about 45 minutes. I was feeling super guilty for drilling their show routine for the past weeks coming onto St Patrick's Day, and they've been begging me for hard shoe while I just proclaim "soon we'll be able to do hard shoe again!" in my teacher voice!
If one of my girls came up to me and complained that their feet hurt (kind of similar to how I am complaining my feet hurt..) I would turn to them and say "well, now you're a real dancer!"
As if to say they weren't before their feet hurt? I don't know, it's just a trick I learned from Mary... thanks Mar! :) So, I suppose I'm a real dancer now...
Either way, it was splendid to strap on my shoes and shout "turn out MOOOOOOORRRRRRREEEEEEEEE"
I can relate to your students- I loved getting back to drilling steps after the weeks of show choreography- not that I didn't love the show stuff too, it was just nice to get back to normal!
