Pole Jam Saturday

Whoops, a little late for this post. Sorry, guys! I've been really nervous these past days. My trainer, as beautiful as she is, can really surprise me sometimes. I wasn't joking when I stated that I wanted to put together a chair dance routine for the studio, but she's like "Do it this Saturday at the Pole Jam!" which lead me to a few concerns:
1. I never performed a chair solo in my life
2. Less than a week to prepare for a whole song? Is she kidding?
3. I'm still out of shape from my broken foot and taking four weeks off of work and exercise.
4. I really hope I don't get so comfortable with my chair at home that when I go to the studio on her taller, padded chairs I hurt myself.

It's more than students and instructors at this Pole Jam. Friends, boyfriends, and newbies are gonna be there. I'm kinda representing the studio - that doesn't teach chair dancing - so if I make it look silly or I just plain mess up, it's gonna be a little awkward for me. Hey, if I do well enough, after training in February I could be a chair dancing instructor. Ooh, I like that idea. I figured if I pick a fast song and don't actually GO for the "sexy" aura, I'll be okay even if I have to wing it from forgetting the whole routine mid-dance. Hey, it happens.
Oh, crap. What do I wear? ........ You know what? Screw it. I'm wearing shorts and a shirt. It's a Pole Jam. Not a huge formal party.
Maybe next time I can prepare better and dance to something smooth and slower like Goldfrapp's grooves. Yeah, sounds perfect. But I'm saving Utopia for a Pole routine. I like Janet Jackson's Velvet Rope, but it's almost too slow.
I worry for a fast choreography because I'm out of shape but there's no way I can pull off sexy and smooth in the near future because I lost my flexibility while healing the broken foot. On the other hand, if the song is too slow, I'll need to be... graceful... and I have none of that right now...
Pray for me.
