Today has been an odd one, it has to be said. More snow traumas for everyone trying to get into rehearsals for a start. It's tad boring now! And it really makes you yearn to be sailing away on the Azura somewhere warm.... ahhhhh.
Also, our Ashley has moved onto a different ship (no, not 'The Great Cruise Ship in the Sky' - it's not THAT serious!), so we had our Neil joining us today. Bless them both. But I guess things in life are sent to test you, so you bite the biscuit, pick yourself up, wake up and smell the coffee, knuckle down, buckle under, shake rattle and roll, and weave a tangled web. No... wait - I think I've mixed my metaphors somehow...
Anyway. On with the show. Rob is putting the dancers through their paces this week (well, it is the dance show after all!) and we got some time to go over stuff with Neil - as he has a week's worth of material to catch up with. We've got quite a way through "Destination Dance" now, and covered a fair few dance styles already. (Shimmying-around-in-an-oversized-head" style is currently my personally favourite!)
(La, la, la, la, la, laa-la... etc. the guys having a little 'rest' after the Can-Can)Our "scrunchy" vocal version of 'A Nightingale Sang...' will be gorgeous (when we nail the lyrics!) and the girls are gliding around behind us - almost literally - and making us look pretty, which is never a bad thing! Should be a lovely moment.
And then they up the ante when Emma & Neil and the rest of the gang with something a little more up tempo. I think we're busy changing into Laderhosen at that point (don't ask!)
(Neil & Emma giving us their routine)
We finished off the day with a run-through of everything we've done so far on this show. Quite exciting really - until it hits you how much we've still got to learn, as we're only on show 2!! Eeek....
