Well, I did it! What FUN!
The day before,I awoke with the worst knee pain I've had in a long time. I couldn't even put weight on it. I've had some trouble off and on but not like this.
I was SOOOO depressed.
I got an apointment with a Dr. (I don't have my own since I lost my insurance) and begged him for a miracle. He told me I have some torn cartlige, gave me a shot of quartizone in my knee and some pain killers.
The next morning I was much better. My comp. started at 10:00am.
My outlook changed from "Oh no! I'm not prepard,will I screw up?" to "Thank you, God,for letting me dance!" Was there supposed to be a lesson in this?
It will Probably be my only competition as I'm not rich. But it was a great experience!
The photos and video came out great.
The highlight of the weekend; Finally getting to see my teachers perform- WOW! They won 1st in Standard and 4th in Latin.
Thanks to all for the advice.

Thanks to TheDitz for the advice. The competition is the Triple Crown at the Ritz in my hometown of Sarasota, Florida. I have been practicing in my "smooth" shoes but I dance better in my Latin shoes. What is a girl to do? I did finally contact the video guy and he has agreed to have one of his videotographers use my hi 8 digital instead of VHS.I know how I look because my instructor(bless his heart) lets me video tape my lessons.This has been an incredible learning tool for me. One thing I believe will be in my favor is that I was an aerialist in the circus most of my life and have performed thousands of times under many conditions.The funny thing is I never DANCED until I started Ballroom And Latin 9 months ago! In the circus the performers are not being "judged", the audience really doesn't know what to expect.Unless you fall (thank goodness I never did) nobody even knows youv'e made a mistake. But this will be different and it has been a long time since I've been in the ring! I wish I felt more prepard. But I guess everyone feels that way.

Thanks for the advice. As for the video, I was unable to contact the video company. I only decided to enter this last week so I have little time to prepare.
A new BIG question; What is the difference between a gown and a costume? I am entering in American smooth at a beginer level.I will be wearing a formal dress which I already owned.I am beading some opra-length gloves to match.I practiced in the dress to make sure it was comfortable(it was).My instructor liked it. I trust his judgment but I don't want to look overdone.
As far as asking him about all these questions,I need to spend my time with him DANCING, not asking thousands of questions, especially when I consider how little time we have before the comp. P.S. Am I crazy for trying this? My rationalizing for this; In my life I haven't regreted the things I've done. What I regret are the things I DID'NT do!
