Christmastime

This dance is breaking my heart.  This was one of my "instant vision" productions, everything was in my head from set to choreo to costuming......the dance and moves are timed beautifully with the music.  If you've never heard this song here is the link: Michael W. Smith - Christmastime

When I finished this set I must have watched it over and over again a dozen times, I was so excited to perform this and then the fatal error occured.....the dj's system was cutting about 15 seconds off each end of my song.  Gotta love SAM and that damn fade.  Not a good thing when your dance needs to begin six seconds into the song and doesn't end until the very last note is played.

I played it at practice, I couldn't find a resolution to my problem and had to perform it flawed.  I hated doing that.  I put a lot of time into one of my productions...I am EXTREMELY anal when it comes to the details...I want people to feel what I'm feeling when I'm putting something like this together.  So you can understand how extremely disappointed I was that it turned out to be a flop.

I made the decision to modify the set and perform it with DX this Saturday.  I wasn't sure how I felt about using the same dance in both companies but after I gave it some thought I realized that these are my productions, and they don't belong to anyone but me....so I can perform them where ever.

I'm having the same issue with the song with the DX dj as I did with It Girlz, so I'm going to take some time and work on adding some effects at the beginning and the end of my song....one way or another this is going to get seen the way that I see it.  :-D
