Bad Dress Rehearsal = Great Opening Night, Right?

Last night, we had our dress rehearsal for the Winter Showcase. I'm so glad T&C does a dress rehearsal. We didn't get that at my old studio. You just had to fight for space on the floor, ask to play your music, and hope you made it through a couple of times during your last lesson before the show. So having one was a good thing. Unfortunately, I feel like crap! This sinus infection is lingering way too long. Even walking slowly through my routine takes everything I've got. Breathing is impossible. Then, to do this routine to music! I just collapse at the end. It nearly causes me to pass out. I love the routine. It's way more ambitious than I'm accustomed to. I think Vince is overly optimistic that I'm able to dance it well. I dont' think I'm able to dance it at all. I have one more lesson on Saturday. If I'm still standing at the end, I'll dance in the showcase. Then there is the dress. I keep catching my heel in it. I practice in a much longer skirt so I don't understand why my showcase dress does it. I don't want to have to use a different dress because this one is perfect for tango and our choreography. Lots of prayer is needed for this showcase to happen!
