I have been selected to perform a dance at Sadlers Wells on 8th December at the Lilian Baylis Theatre. It's an 'Open Platform Dance Night' where companies both professional and non-professional perform, it's an annual event.
I'm only just fit enough as my asthma has deteriorated in the last few weeks. I now use 3 inhalers a day and still keel over whenever I do cardiovascular exercise at 10 minutes, thankfully my own choreography is not demanding of my lungs, just as well!

Re: I'm at Sadlers Wells
4 days to go, Lou! Are you getting excited yet?
I used to be extremely fit, or thought so until I was invited with some other runners to do some warm up exercises with Scottish Ballet. We were left floored by the exertion, while they were going on to a performance!
Actually that warm up proved quite good for me because I got a job as a dresser. When my dancer came off stage she ofted had to change rather quickly. I had to have her next costume ready to put on as she shed the one she was wearing. High pressure stuff,but what a treat to be able to be part of the ballet, and watch the dancers from the wings.
All the best on December 8.

Thanks Andrew, bit nervous!
So you were a dresser, you've done some interesting and varied work in your life

Re: I'm at Sadlers Wells
Good Luck Lou - I'll be thinking of you ( I work just round the corner!) but unfortunately I can't make it to the performance that evening - otherwise I would!
Best Wishes

Re: I'm at Sadlers Wells
It went well thanks! I had terrible nerves but I'm told it didn't show. Makes a huge difference having a dance professionally staged and the stage crew were lovely.
Anne was there! I really appreciated that, as were my family
