The instructor bailing out didn't help with my nerves, but I can honestly say it was all more emotional. The week was crappy anyway, then I find out my routine instructor is not coming through. I believe I would have been more nervous, but there is a possiblity that concentrating on the moves would have forced me to use the nerves to get through the dance. Now I have no idea, and I feel a bit more skeptical about committing to a routine again. I love the routine we worked on and would still like to perform it, but there are still the questions. A lot of my reasons for working on it and deciding to do it were to overcome my inhibitions.
