sticky floor

Tuesday was probably the worst show we have had so far!  Over the weekend, the backstage crew had to re paint the surface of the stage...they did this on Sunday night after our show...and our next show was Tuesday night.  Unfortunately, because of the weather....the stage did not completely dry.  Only an hour before curtain call, and our stage manager was calling our dance captains to the stage...something was definitely wrong....in just a few min...we had to go over some of the numbers of the show...changing things...making sure that we tried not to lay on  the stage as much as possible.  Everyone was marking (not dancing full out) the dances because they were scared to slip (even though it was sticky....in some places it was slippery too) or get stuck on the sticky surace of the stage.  In the first number, one of the boys got his shoe stuck to the floor and his foot came out of the shoe!  There were new sounds added to our tap numbers because every time our shoes left the surface of the stage, there would be a sticky sound.....anytime someone was walking on the stage....there was that sounds....it was kind of funny..but, at the same time the energy wasn't as good for most of the dancing...it was an experience to remember though....
