Dancing is a chore sometimes. My choreographer keeps chiseling away at me, hoping to shape me into perfection. But she can’t expect chunks to just fall off. I know the rules of chivalry forbid it, but sometimes I feel like choking that chubby woman. When I hold that thought, I have to chuckle. It certainly wouldn’t be the Christian thing to do.
Today, choreography is an essential component of many performing arts. Unless you’re just part of a chorus, there’s probably some dancing involved in your performance. A brief choreographic presentation can add beauty and excitement to any show.
I’ve tried to make it as a dancer but it’s hard to do when you have chronic injuries. These injuries can easily turn smooth movements into choppy actions. I’ve been chopped by my share of bad review. However, it’s not completely my fault.
If you put my injury and work history into chronological order, you’ll see that most of major injuries occurred while I was dancing hurt. In order words, the chronology shows that dancing while you have a minor injury could be a very foolish mistake. Yet, man choreographers will insist that you dance with your injury. I pleasure by using nothing but the fingers of your dominant hand.
What I would really like to do is to choreograph other people. It would be an exciting career. But I shouldn’t think too far into the future. For the moment, I need to rest. Perhaps after a few ciders, I’ll be able to think again.
