I have taken dance lessons for 15 years of my life and there is no moment like any other moment when the recital finally takes place and the months of practice finally pay off. Used to always feel like I had to pee right before the curtain opened, but once the music starts, my muscles enter into automatic mode. My mind elevates from nerves to thrill! This merging of action and awareness is characterized by Turner as the term, flow. Everything else around me becomes irrelevant and all of my energies are thrown into this three-minute moment. Once the curtain closes and I run off stage, is when I then go to the bathroom J.
