I discussed my arangetram with my friend who had done her arangetram about 2 years back. I felt silly discussing the possible dances in my arangetram and how I should practise etc. at this stage -- as if it were still a mirage of the real thing and I was building castles in the air.
Anyway, yesterday, I met with my dance teacher and I circled a likely date, July 23rd 2011. I am still a bit nervous because by the time she is back from her trip and I am back from my India trip, we will be into October (Oct 10th to be precise) which gives me 10 days short of 10 months for my arangetram and I am going to be doing all new items for my arangetram, so can't really derive any comfort from familiarity. I learnt 2 new jathis for my Kavuthuvam of which I properly recorded only one (so mad at that camcorder!)
But yesterday and today, r~ (my 2 year old :) and I practised what little I remembered i,e she sort of jumped about while I tried to recall and dance. So this is it -- pillayar suzhi vechaachu!
I am going to try to get the thillana CD from this other girl who did her arangetram recently so I can start practising from it during the time my dance teacher is away. May the elements cooperate with me :)
Affirmation: My energy increases everyday and I feel the energy in me.
