everything's up to date in Kansas City

2 new hornpipe steps. 1 new treble jig step. 2 new slip jig steps w/ a new ending. 2 reel steps that I've competed with before (but I want to go full-out on). I know the single and light jig inside and out but I'm going to really attack and concentrate on strong form. trad set will be blackbird w/ a concentration on getting loud beats and turn-out.

all of this to continually be working on and the KC feis is only a week away from this Saturday. needless to say, I had a dream last night about falling flat on my face at the competition. I think it's because I'm really putting my heart and 110% effort into it this time.

I felt terrible this time last year. I came back after 5 years of not competing and was pretty disappointed with my results. I'm in the same age group, same category, but I feel like a whole new dancer. I really think I can win. I really believe I can place into Prelims this time, fair and square.
I'm going to keep practicing every day until Sunday and stay at the studio all-day until I'm happy and feel 100% about how my dances look.

for once in my life, I feel completely focused. one goal: to progressively get better and better and recall at oireachtas in December.
I can do this.
