No lie, one time we were doing La Boutique Fantasque and I was so good at standing still that the director asked if I had tips to share with the other dancers.

Something I did not say is "easy, just don't eat enough food and you won't want to move".

My issue is that I don’t get into retiré until Supernatural Aid when I should already be there by Call to Adventure 😞

It's not my meme, but please check out the original author! They really don't miss.
