&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;
on a chair with a dead magazine...&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
I'm working on a choreographed routine for our summer showcase (yes, I said showcase, as in I'm performing (who IS this person???)), and we decided to do a combination Viennese/Argentine Vals. I'm just learning Vals and no one else at my studio even dances it, so that makes it even COOLER to do as a show piece.&amp;nbsp; Then it came time to decide on a song... MY song... One I get to choose...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But what song?&amp;nbsp; It couldn't be something typical...&amp;nbsp; Go original or go home I say...&amp;nbsp; It couldn't be something light and happy and cotton candy pink (never mind about the &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/karenturner/7116336971/"&gt;dress&lt;/a&gt;, I'm trying to make a statement here).&amp;nbsp; It needed to be something dark, something complicated, something real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My first choice was Hallelujah (of course).&amp;nbsp; Right timing and everything... But the Jeff Buckley version was too irregularly timed to waltz to... So we tried Alexandra Burke... Right timing but...&amp;nbsp; A show tune?&amp;nbsp; I can't dance to a show tune...&amp;nbsp; A big band happy production of a song that's meant to leave you drained and on your knees...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So I went back to my BFF, the internet...&amp;nbsp; And came up with this one...&amp;nbsp; I think it's perfect...&amp;nbsp; Even though no one watching will know what I'm trying to say...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I will...&lt;br /&gt;
