Hey guys!
The day we had all been waiting for and preparing for has finally come and gone! About two weeks ago, we had our dancing showcase.
The day brought on a whole bunch of emotions, mostly excitement and a little bit of nerves… maybe more than a little bit! There were three sessions in total, and each session had about 8–10 dances. I was in Session 1, Dance Number 8.
I was really happy that I got to dance towards the beginning of the day because it was nice to get it over and done with! Thankfully, my teacher and I had a practice session before the first dancing session started.
When I went to put my dress on, the reality of what was about to happen really hit me, and my nerves started creeping back in. But as soon as the music started and I began dancing my routine, all my nerves disappeared, and I was filled with enjoyment and happiness.
I was so happy with how I danced, and I received lots of compliments, which was really lovely! It’s always nice to hear that people enjoyed your dance because it makes you feel like all the hard work was worth it. I also received a beautiful trophy, which made me feel really good and gave me a sense of accomplishment. It felt amazing to know that I had achieved something so special!
The showcase ended at around 3 pm, and then we headed back to our hotel room to get ready for the Banquet and Ball, which started at 7 pm. That was also so much fun!
I never got to go to a matric dance or anything like that, so I absolutely love getting the opportunity to dress up in a beautiful ball gown and dance with my teacher and all my friends. We had a lovely dinner, watched the staff exhibitions, and then danced the night away! We eventually made it back to our hotel room at around midnight.
Honestly, that was the best day I’ve had in a really long time! I’m so proud of myself for participating in the showcase, and I’m incredibly grateful that I got to be part of such a special experience.
I’m already looking forward to next year’s showcase because I’ve decided to do the Jive! I can’t wait to learn a new dance, challenge myself, and make even more amazing memories. 💃❤️
I hope you enjoyed this post
Bye xx
