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?

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. -

Thu, October 4, 2007 - 4:45 PMI 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.

Thu, October 11, 2007 - 8:18 PMPersonally 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.
