Six Excuses for Leaving the Dance Class that is Over Your Head!

So you signed up for a dance class! Oops! You are halfway through the warm up and you're already getting looks from the graceful goddesses in the front ( What? they want you to try that on your LEFT??) You would love to sashay right out the door, but what will people think?

Cheer up you little “mover” you! Hackstage to the rescue with six fabulous excuses for why you just cannot stay in class! (And just remember, Triple Threat can mean lots of things! Hell, you could be an Actor, Singer, Smoker! Or an Actor, Smoker, Slut!)

Dramatically break your ankle in a 42nd Street-style sequence. As the paramedics take you away yell “I’ll never dance again!” to your adoring fans.
Make an announcement that you are actually a casting associate for Telsey and Co in disguise and that you were looking for some gorgeous dancer bods for the Cats revival. Storm out yelling “There’s nothing for me here!”
Start a rumor that you just recently learned to walk. (Hey, you’re not half bad for someone who has never even stood up before.) Begin looking fatigued after warm up and “observe” the rest of the class.
Tell everyone during break that you have landed a pilot. No need to be specific, you’ve “signed a nondisclosure agreement.” (This is a great chance to practice your pretty cry!)
Drop Dead.
When all else fails treat this like a failed vocal audition and blame someone else! The Accompanist. Your shoes. Your step brother Dave.
