This morning Bindu, Elena, and I got to stay back at the apartment with the director and do our full make-up. I’m not sure anyone will recognize me under the six pounds of TV foundation. It’s a little intense, but hopefully it will look nice in the harsh lights of the camera.
Back at the studio, I discovered that Richard (the director of the Bangalore dance company) is actually really interested in acrogymnastics so I’ve been goofing around trying tricks from my circus days every chance we’re free. It’s been so much fun getting back to handstands and tricks! Giju’s going to kill us if we injure ourselves!The rest of the day was more of the same. Practice at the two different studios until around 8:00PM. Afterwards we made our way over to the Subway across the street. I swear Subway is just as easy to find across the globe as McDonald’s! Jonathan would have been happy… I actually had a paneer tikka sub. I guess you can still get a little local flavor in the big chains too!
After dinner we made our way out a local dancing place (well, really it turned out to be just a bar and we were the only dancers). I had such a blast getting a chance to just let loose and dance with my new friends from India. Secretly, I was really glad no one else was there because then 
I got the chance to dance with all of the best dancers without any competition from the local ladies! After the dancing was over, we went for a late night visit to Café Coffee Day where I got a yummy sour apple soda and learned a whole host of words and phrases in Hindi. Of course, I only learned the most important words: I love you, I hate you, and a ton of swear words. Any teacher will tell you, it’s most important to know the swear words in any language!
