New Announcement: Kicks, punches, and knee slides coming your way

So I don't really recall the details as to why I wanted to write about teaching my ballet class other than that I enjoy teaching. To see my students have a desire to learn and especially their improvement is such an inspiration! An inspiration for what I don't necessarily know. . . maybe to become a better teacher. And teaching at the elementary school has been fun even though it requires managing 50+ fourth graders for about an hour.
Hmmm, well, to continue with my positive rants I found my classes interesting today and it didn't matter to me whether or not they were relevant. On the negative side of things I have to find another job. I have plenty of side jobs right now, but they'll be ending within the month and my next project won't begin until March, and I don't know how much I'll be paid or what kind of commitment it will require. There are a couple of people who owe me money for work I've done but I'm assuming that I won't come into that money quickly enough. Who is hiring employees for a month only? What kind of seasonal job exists solely for the month of February? Singing telegrams for Valentine's Day maybe. But I can't sing very well so that option is void. Hmmm, flower delivery, balloon delivery, . . . ooo! I've just had the best idea. I should start a dancing telegram business for St. Valentine's Day! Say a husband wants to let his wife know he still has a burning passion for her, he would come to us (my new company) and we would send out our dancers to do a fiery salsa dance (or Prince if that's his style). If a wife wanted to assert her dominance over a relationship with her husband we could send out some of our flamenco dancers, hehee). We could even go the other way and depending on the nature of the breakup we could provide for the 'I don't need you anymore' type breakup with a heavy metal, high energy thrash piece with lots of kicks, punches, and knee slides to the floor or the 'let me let you go' lyrical piece tastefully matched to angst ridden songs like "Still Not Ready" by blues singer Eva Cassidy. We could even do a piece that would tarnish but get the point across subtly but pointedly in a jazz piece to Michael Jackson's "Billy Jean". OWWw-ch. All dance-a-grams would be categorized according to music or dance style so that you could get your message across. . . just with more pizazz and sensitive artistry. Phew, wow, watch out American Telegrams, you've got some stiff competition coming out of the woodwork.
