We did it!!!

IT'S DONE! We did the show and it was GREAT! Everybody was smiling and I made some really funny faces :> But let me tell you from the beginning. After the tech rehearsal at five, we had about one hour and a half to take our showers, get on the costumes, do the hair and put on the makeup before we had to go to the show at eight. The girls were in my room at seven fourty and we were late ;-) But finally with some help from Corinne, the teacher who went with us, we managed to get ready just about in time. The guys already waited for us in the showroom. We passed as the second group- super lucky! So there was no time to be nervous, the first group passed and then it was already our turn! The weird thing is that I did not have this "I am a star"-feeling I normally have when I am on stage, but I smiled and gave my best anyways :-) And we did not do any mistake!!

So, before going downstairs again and celebrating with the others, here some picture of before the show. Sadly Jacques lost his camera, there were some *REALLY* nice pictures on it.. on one I go completely crazy ;-) dirty bitch kinda like.. ;>

Our guys with some gals ;-)

Some more pictures!

As I promised, here are some of the pictures taken right before the last show on wednesday and then at the airport :-) You might notice how my look declines.. from absolutely shiny to completely scrap ;-)

And everybody who already has been at a Salsa Congress with me knows.. I never leave without a T-Shirt ;-)

Friday morning..

and I am feeling better :-) After a (very expensive btw) breakfast at the restaurant on the second floor, I am currently filling out a questionnaire for breakfast tomorrow. The bus will leave at 7.00 am at the train station, so I will have to take breakfast in the hotel room. Tonight is the big night- the one we are all here for. Showtime!!! :-)

I tested the fitness room of the hotel, but after 12 (or so) times pushing a weight over my head, I had enough already ;-) Anyways, I better do one or two workshops instead- I am paying for this, in the end! Btw: If I manage to get the picture Jacques has taken of me with my costume back at San Tropez in Montreal, I will post it today :-) just to give a first impression.

It is 8:49 am, and I think I will get back to bed for one hour or two.
