I sent an open application to Studio Fonkel 2 weeks ago and got invited to a first interview a week later (that went on for 1,5 hours!) on Monday. The Friday after that they called me to tell me that they would like to offer me a job, but that they want to 'wait out' the summer; with interns leaving and a couple of potential clients coming in. So they will call me again in the second week of September (after their clients and my vacation) so we can discuss the work they have for me and how to proceed (terms and stuff). Exciting!! We both agreed that this is not 100% binding yet: if they don't have work for me well... there's no work. If I find an other job meanwhile I'm free to do so. However, I have the feeling that we'll see each other in September and I might (finally) switch jobs then!

The image you see on this blog post is me at the day of the A-dance end of year shows last Saturday. The photo is made with a phone so the quality isn't really all that, but it gives an impression. It was a long day with lots of waiting (and a dressing room shared with hyperactive Wushu kids and their mothers and fathers...) but it still feels so good to be on stage, even though it is only 4 minutes in a show of 2 hours. In the afternoon I made less mistakes than in the evening show, but in the evening show I had more fun. So I ordered the DVD of the evening show. I watched an (illegal) video (made with a phone too) of the evening show and I am sure that a non-dancer wouldn't have seen my mistakes. And we're all rocking it!! We were with only 8 girls on stage, so there's nobody to hide behind. You're always 'in the spotlight'.

The streetdance lessons will continue into the summer (there's no real summer stop) but from the 16th of July I will be travelling to Bussum on Wednesdays for mini-workshops belly dancing by Roos. Looking forward to that! Though it is a shame that I have to miss the last lesson (with zills!) because I will be rehearsing "When I fall in love" with ex-members of Musilon for the wedding of Suus and Michiel in August. But that is replacing one fun thing with another, so not too bad. ;-) Depending on how much I like these summer lessons I might decide I want to do my next season of belly dancing in Bussum. And depending on that I might have to switch lessons at A-Dance again. (OMG: it felt so good that some of the Tuesday group, where I danced last year, still recognized me and came to talk to me and stuff!)

I got some more exiting stuff coming up, but more about that later. I do not want to get hopes up and then have to say it didn't work out.
