F*** everything–but here’s a new playlist!

AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH

You know that feeling where you’ve been hitting the studio after very long days of work and drilling a routine for HOURS, and then come to a rehearsal two days before the show and find out you now how to do everything completely in the reverse of how you trained your body to memorize it?

Oh you don’t?

Here’s how it feels: IT FEELS LIKE FUCK EVERYTHING.

I would actually have been much better off if I had NOT practiced, because my muscle memory is just utterly bewildered. The changes happened last night. The show is tomorrow. I have both a day job and night job today, so I don’t even know when I can practice this. I just… I just want to go back to bed.

I know, I know, I’m being a big whiny baby and this isn’t even the first time this has happened to me. It’s to be expected in a group performance. I get it. But I really hate looking like the idiot that’s lost on stage and I will be DAMNED if I do.

So here’s the plan: I am going to listen to this song on repeat all day, and dance the shit out of the routine in my head. I will run it in the bathroom mirror. I will do modified versions of the footwork while folding towels at work tonight. I AM COMING FOR YOU, new choreography.

Anyway, I can’t wait till the show’s over and I can hit the pole with my full attention again. Here’s what I’ve been saving up to jam to…

1. Beware, Big Sean

2. Let’s Talk, Omarion Ft. Biggie and Rick Ross

…bawse.

3. Swim Good, Frank Ocean

4. Enough Said, Aaliyah, Ft. Drake

5. Long Way to Go, Cassie

Addendum to Previous Playlist: Frank Ocean!

Ugh, thank you Pandora, for the dreamiest, trippiest, most-badass-yet-sensitive song I’ve heard in a long time.

I immediately had to download, put on the good sound system, and roll around on the floor.

This is not the original video, because I didn’t want to scare anybody. (Go find it on YouTube… you’ll see what I’m talking about).

But tell me you don’t want to get all Karol Helms to this. Awwwww yeah.

(What?! You don’t know who Karol Helms is?!! EDUCATE YOURSELF).

(Totally NSFW, by the way)

Classes tonight–check the schmedule!

Happy Twirls!
