It was the plan for me to get my MFA at Yale and then hopefully make the artist's program at the Met and have a professional opera career. <br /><br />Problem?<br /><br />Not enough passion. By far. And it's a life I don't want.<br /><br />So, I still sing, still use my voice and have a great time doing so but I also wonder if I would have had a better time/easier road in college if I had gone to a professional school of the arts in high school. <br /><br />Or at least found out it wasn't what I wanted earlier.Loralee Choatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16055102094371755499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7919889744528028610.post-88012276945260601202009-10-05T20:30:23.775-07:002009-10-05T20:30:23.775-07:00Totally going to see that one with Loopy!

Yup, Barbra Streisand belting out tunes with feathers in her hair. Of course, I'm gay so that seems appropriate.Prestonhttp://meandtheblueskies.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7919889744528028610.post-73318690901142292552009-09-30T10:13:43.785-07:002009-09-30T10:13:43.785-07:00I love this post.

I was the actor kid -- the one who wrote plays and made the neighborhood kids rehearse them endlessly, build sets, and perform at the annual block party. I wrote shows, auditioned for shows, acted as much as I could through high school and college until I got too busy. I always loved dancing, but we also didn't have money for lots of lessons. My daughter is about to start her first dance class this Friday, and I have been seriously thinking about the ballet that I took just for one year. Could I do it again? Do I dare be 39 in a leotard? But I am seriously considering taking the adult beginners class at the local not-too-serious ballet school. Want to do dance lessons with me? Perhaps we could chase a dream...MommyTimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12860003098383600806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7919889744528028610.post-89254755182037790312009-09-30T09:09:15.013-07:002009-09-30T09:09:15.013-07:00I felt the exact same way!

That means I can take my kidlings who will appreciate it as Kidling 1 just started 6th grade at an inner-city Arts charter school. Okay, so our inner-city isn't New York or Chicago or LA. But, looking at the kids pouring in and out every day, there are a whole lotta 'em that this will be their CHANCE. Wish a school like ours would've been available to you when you were a kid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7919889744528028610.post-80663701842788059042009-09-26T10:15:50.134-07:002009-09-26T10:15:50.134-07:00A beautiful post Tootsie...

But it didn't stop me from trying to do some of those moves and dreaming about it. <br /><br />I always wanted to be a dancer but it was not meant to be. I have tap shoes that I have worn 2 or 3 times. I joined a class and then life changed and we moved. I still want to find them and do it to it.Cocohttp://www.screamingforchocolate.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7919889744528028610.post-49937368379693733852009-09-25T23:58:15.932-07:002009-09-25T23:58:15.932-07:00Fame!
