Have you ever...?

I went on a 2 week Ballroom Dance tour with my team to Nauvoo, Illinois 2 years ago.

One night, this happened...

Summer in Midwest = humid.

Humid = sweat.

Sweat = sticky skin.

Sticky skin = difficult costume changes.

Difficult costume change = crotch snap unsnapped

Crotch snap unsnapped = "tail" hanging out the back for the Finale

Have you ever tried changing from a one (long) sleeved Jive dress to a long sleeve, turtle neck, snap crotch, spandex leotard, with spandex jazz pants, a sequin vest, and a bowler hat in about 30 seconds?

...with 3 inch latin heels on.

...oh yeah, and without prepping the costume earlier in the show.

(which meant the leotard was inside out and backwards)

Good thing it was a good thing to have a huge smile on-stage for the Finale!
