What part of preparing for a performance do you find the most enjoyable?

Costuming
Music Selection
Setting up choreography or anchors for a semi-improv
drilling and rehearsing

or something else?

    For me it would be costuming and music. They are my performance foundation and drive the direction I want to take it.

      The moments before I go on. The anticipation. The excitement. The time to turn inward and remind myself that I dance for myself.

    The big old glass of wine I have right beforehand...

    Um, no seriously, I enjoy picking out music. I like that moment when I go "Ah ha! I know what to do for this song!"
    I also really enjoy rehearsing.

      I want to add... I don't costume for a specific piece. I'm always sewing or beading or something, so I just pick out what I feel like wearing. It's not really a part of the planning for me. It just feeds my sewing hobby.

    For me.. its music and costuming.. If I can get one figured out I can normally figure out the driving force for the rest of it.

    Something else...the performance...being in that moment is the most enjoyable for me.

      Personally i just like to dance. I'd have to say that everything else from the music to the costume is all secondary to what drives me. It's truly the dance that makes my body and spirit whole when my legs, torso and arms move. It's crazy! Yeah i do, and i do it for the dance.
