I turned around the corner and a big building appeared. 'London Dance Academy' it said with big letters on the front side of the building. I checked my phone again: 8.16 A.M. I sighed, my heartbeat slowed down. I made it just in time. I rushed inside and walked over to the front desk. "Can I help you, ma'am?" A girl who seemed to be my age, walked up to me. "Yes, hi. I'm April Pearson and I'm here for my first day as choreographer for Spencer's class." I replied, looking around. The hallway was painted in bright colors. The walls covered with signed pictures of famous dancers and choreographers. "Spencer's class is over there." The nice girl pointed. "Second door on your left." She continued. "Thank you so much." I smiled.

As I walked in the pointed direction the sound of classical music reached my ears. I smiled. God, I love music. It's a way out for all my thoughts and emotions. And now it's literally my job to set those emotions into choreographies.

"You must be April!" A tall woman appeared in front of me. "Yes, hi, so nice to meet you! You're Spencer Adams, right?" I said. "You bet I am! Welcome to my classical ballet class. My class ends in a few minutes and then you can start teaching your very own group." She pointed at the group of 16 year old boys and girls. "I figured you made a choreography yourself?" She turned her wrinkled face back to me. "Yes, I have. I'm really excited!" I smiled. "Well, that's a good start, April." Spencer smiled. "You can set up your stuff over there, then I will finish my class and come help you. Will that work for you?" She asked. "Yes, of course, thank you!" I replied.

I put my bag on the floor and when through my choreography in my head. Everything went smooth and I was so ready to begin my career as a choreographer. I never gave a dance class before so I was glad the dancers were only 16 years old.

I put on some upbeat music and the stereos filled the studio with the sound of Rihanna's voice. "Okay everyone, let's start with some warming up!" I started doing jumping jacks as the rest of the group followed. We already introduced ourselves and everyone seemed really nice and driven to learn.

After fifteen minutes we finished the warming up and everyone grabbed their water bottle to drink something. It was a group of seventeen fit boys and girls but I already noticed a few who were in top condition. As the group walked back in position I started teaching them a choreography to the Swan Lake.

The class went by really fast and I had so much fun. "Alright everybody, great job! I really enjoyed working with you and I hope to see you again next week. Class dismissed." I smirked. The kids laughed as they packed their bags. This was my only class today so I packed my stuff ready to go home.
