Well, this may be the sweetest thing I’ve ever read. 🙌🏻👏🏻🙈

Chaz Wolcott, 

   I don’t think that you could possibly understand the magnitude of what you’ve done with this audition. This is the kind of audition that dancers and non-dancers alike will come back to watch years from now because they cannot get enough of you. People fall in love with you and your flawless taps, your impeccable musicality or most importantly the way we can see that you love what you’re doing with every fiber of your being, smiling from ear to ear, and having the time of your life on that stage. The standing ovation you received did not end with the back row of that theater, no my friend, you had people on their feet all around the country.

  You are the kind of dancer that will inspire so many people in more ways than may seem possible with something as simple as an audition like this. Generations will go take their first tap class because of this and the fact that one day they want to be like you. Young eyes lit up all across the world when you tapped across that stage, that is something special that cannot be learned, that is a piece of your heart, a heart that was born to dance, shining so brightly and lighting the way for so many more to come. 

   Go on my friend, be the ray of sunshine that you are. Congratulations, you’ve earned this.

Sincerely, someone you’ve helped more than you know.

This. This. This. This. This.

So nervous that water would get all over the floor, I’d down Daveys drink every day, WHY COULDN’T HE JUST FINISH IT HIMSELF?!?

Reminder to drink water like Buttons downing the rest of a glass before The World Will Know Reprise!!

Well....it started from an injury i was dealing with, I needed some more mobility in my ankle’s range of motion. But then I felt buttons would be opposed to zippers for logical reasons, so I made it a character choice 😉

And now we wait lol

So yeah, I am alive and drawing, I’ve just had a little more going on recently. Also note that drawing wrinkly plaid shirts will be the death of me. Please do continue to send requests.
