Dance

Excited but nervous at the same time was my emotions as i walked into my dance studio. The reason I was this way was because it was our first day back to dance after having the whole summer off. I had this feeling that it was going to be a great season. As we warmed up our teacher began showing us our routines and things we need to work on. Then we began learning the routine. By the end of the week we had the dance and was ready to compete in a few months. As we clean up our dance and get ready for the big day.
It was finally here the day we competed at the competition. Our first dance competiton we danced at was called Showstoppers. We went back stage and began to get ready for the big day full of nothing but dance. I started with my hair and then my makeup. As soon as we got done getting ready it was time to go on stage. I had this nervous feeling in my stomach, it was like butterflies flying around in my stomach. Weird right? Then I heard our name being called. We walked in stage. There was so many things going though my head at this time. Things like "we have to do great" or "we need to win this competiton." Then the music started an I knew that we were going to hit our routine. We walked off stage out of breath because we gave it our all but excited because we knew that we had the win.
It was awards time. It was time for us to see who won they started calling names. Soon it was fourth place.... Third place. They had not called our name. Second place.... First place winner is....? They called our name,  we had done it we had won it and was going to the dance nationals in myrtle beach. We were so happy and we thought it would be great to go out to eat to celebrate. We ate at Sojo's. It was really good. We had a great time.
The next dance practice we worked really hard because it was the week of nationals. I think it was one of our worst pratices ever. We were tired, sleepy, sloppy and we were just done. It was not the timing to have bad pratices. The next day. It was finally the day of the nationals. We were in myrtle beach and ready to perform. We began getting ready and soon it was time to get on stage. I was super nevous because of the bad practice the night before. They began calling our name and I started to get that butterfly in my stomach feeling again. It happens every time and I don't know why. Hahah but always we go in position and began dancing, we did awesome. We hit everything all inspite of that bad pratice. Soon it would be awards time. They called them fourth place..... Third place..... Second place..... First place they called our name. We had done it we won nationals. We were so excited and screaming. Then they brought out a huge metals and gave one to all of us. Then I got to thinking all those 9 almost 10 years of dance were worth it. It all lead up to this moment and it was really happening. It felt amazing. Dance is my passion and I plan to never stop doing it. I live to dance. This was just one of the great moment dance has brought into my life and there's way more. Dance is my life. (:
