Get up, stand up; stand up for your rights...

So I have felt like speaking up on something for the last couple of weeks, but I didn't wanna cause a ruckus! I have felt that the two numbers that I am featured in, in the AALA show have been neglected because they aren't complete train wrecks like others are; and there are a couple of things that have been going by the waste side, some of the dancers are sloppy, some of our choreography isn't finished, you know little things like that. I kept waiting for somebody else to bring it up, or for the director to notice and do something about it. So, with two weeks left till the show goes up, and still nothing I decided to finally let the director know how I was feeling. I wrote him that I didn't wanna sound like a diva, but that I have the same goal as he does, for the show to be amazing and flawless, and that I felt because my numbers weren't dancing disasters that they had been neglected, I must have written “please don't hate me” at least 5 times in the whole email (because I am too chicken shit to actually bring it up in person). The director could NOT have been any nicer about it, and I don't know if he was just trying to stroke my ego, or if he was truthful, or who knows, both...but he said “you shine so brightly in those two numbers that even if it all fell apart around you, no one would really notice” he also stated that my degree of professionalism makes his job a lot easier. So I felt very good about myself, and it only makes me want to work harder for the show. So I got my ego stroked, but I also feel like I grew as a person because I was always the quiet one, who never wanted to cause any trouble, and not that I did, but I would have never stood up and expressed my concerns 9 months ago, so yahy for me!
