What can I say? The show was incredible—thank you to everyone who came out and cheered me on. Seeing the joy, the applause, the excitement in the room—it was beyond anything I could’ve imagined. And here’s the good news: I’m not done yet! There’s an encore performance coming this winter, so stay tuned for details.

Now, let me tell you something about this whole experience—it went SO FAR against the norm. And that’s exactly why it was so rewarding.

The Unexpected Rewards of Taking the Leap

First, I had to dive into worlds I’d never explored before. Social media promotion, for one. Who knew how much work goes into crafting a single post or video? And Mailchimp—let’s just say I became well-acquainted with email lists. But all that effort paid off in ways I didn’t expect. I reconnected with so many friends and acquaintances, people I hadn’t heard from in years. Some of them showed up at the show, others reached out to share their excitement. That kind of connection? Priceless.

But it wasn’t just about learning new skills or rekindling old friendships. On a deeper level, this whole journey gave me something even more meaningful. The rehearsals, the hard work, the buzz of anticipation—it energized me. I felt alive in a way I hadn’t in years. And seeing the excitement of my friends and family? It reminded me that pursuing a passion—especially one that surprises people—can light up your life and theirs.

Why Going Against the Norm Matters

Here’s the thing: doing something “out of the ordinary” isn’t easy. It takes courage, yes. But more than that, it takes trust in yourself—trust that stepping off the beaten path will lead to something extraordinary. And let me tell you, it’s worth every bit of the effort.

So, to anyone out there considering a leap into the unknown—whether it’s cabaret, travel, or learning to tango—do it. Trust me, the rewards will surprise you.

Stay tuned for details about the winter show—I can’t wait to see you there!
