Backstage the dancers are warming up for the hundredth time that day maybe, getting or sometimes getting very nervous, talking a lot or not at all. This really depends on the dancer. Some like to eat a little, some like sweets, some don’t, while others start acting out a role or two. The art of putting on your make-up and doing your hair can really, really, really calm you down. Rub your muscles if they need it. Go to toilet but there could be loads of other dancers wanting to go as well. Hearing the stage manager’s over calm voice “This is your 5min call before the show starts or curtain up”
Followed by echoes of “Break a leg”
Break a leg” Break a leg” Break a leg”
Break a leg” from all the dressing rooms
and pray circles, Break a leg or two”
