Dance? with my feet?

I must have misunderstood somewhere. Dance? You've got to be kidding.

I discovered that the Ensemble for Oliver! has to dance certain numbers as well as sing. However, an evening of rehearsal for the "Consider Yourself" number convinced me that some of us are much better singers than dancers. Fortunately, the director also sensed that and provided for some of us to be further upstage and therefore more in the background. She positioned the pretty young things and the handsome up front where they will generate more interest.

Still, I discovered that I could move faster and with more steps than I had expected. We'll just have to see if I can do that for all the performances.
