• FOR ALL DANCERS -- DO YOUR BEST - BE YOUR BEST, 13:11:00 11/26/09 Thu
  I can almost see it
  That dream I am dreaming
  But there's a voice inside my head saying
  "You'll never reach it"
  
  Every step I'm taking
  Every move I make feels
  Lost with no direction
  My faith is shaking
  
  But I gotta keep trying
  Gotta keep my head held high
  
  There's always gonna be another mountain
  I'm always gonna wanna make it move
  Always gonna be a uphill battle
  Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
  
  Ain't about how fast I get there
  Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
  It's the climb
  
  The struggles I'm facing
  The chances I'm taking
  Sometimes might knock me down
  But no, I'm not breaking
  
  I may not know it
  But these are the moments that
  I'm gonna remember most, yeah
  Just gotta keep going
  
  And I, I got to be strong
  Just keep pushing on
  
  'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
  I'm always gonna wanna make it move
  Always gonna be a uphill battle
  Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
  
  Ain't about how fast I get there
  Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
  It's the climb, yeah!
  
  There's always gonna be another mountain
  I'm always gonna wanna make it move
  Always gonna be an uphill battle
  Somebody's gonna have to lose
  
  Ain't about how fast I get there
  Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
  It's the climb, yeah!
  
  Keep on moving, keep climbing
  Keep the faith, baby
  It's all about, it's all about the climb
  Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa

    • I second this recommendation. Keep an eye out for fellow dancers on your flight - if you can stack dress bags, it will discourage others from putting their heavy carry-ons on top of the dress. (NT) -- K, 08:56:32 11/25/09 Wed
  • any bag will do. The polka dot ones are fun. Just ask the stewardess to keep the dress up front. They are more than happy to do it. (NT) -- flying mom, 17:16:20 11/24/09 Tue
  • Just in case there is too much carry on keep the xxxl ziploc big bag in the dress bag in case you are asked to put the dress bag in checked luggage. That way you can keep the dress with you and protected. Once used a bow ( as in arrow) bag to bring back ceili teams costumes from overseas. (NT) -- traveling mom., 18:46:06 11/24/09 Tue
