"nice form?" samuel whispered to himself

carla followed samuel with a look. and looking at him removing his jacket.

she went back inside the room and ate some snickers, when some other girls saw her they started murmuring.

the instructors are now picking the last girl.

"what about her? she's a classic prima ballerina. i see a lot of potential there" one of the instructor said

yeray chuckles and said "yeah. potential funding."

"oh unless we figured out a way to turn this whole thing a reality show. academy's need funding, you should know that better than anyone" instructor

"roson girl got something marina, she's got passion" yeray

"she's too raw" marina

"she'll be find her skills in the class" yeray

"she had a plenty of time to find her skills and she's going on need a scholarship" marina

"look. lu has an excellent technique and she might be a superior dancer but how many lu do we have here. what will she bring to the table?" yeray

marina stands up and said "how about sleeping beauty? how about swan lake?"

"how about jerome robins? bob? cant we do something from the last 50 years?" yeray and face marina and left

"you. run towards me take off on the left, right leg on the air" yeray said to lu and she did it, yeray lifted her

"welldone. lu right?" yeray

"lu montesinos" lu and smiled

"okay. listen up dancing is not only about focus, precision and perfection. dancing is about connections, connecting with your audience, connecting with your partners, so in our next several classes, we'll be dancing with different partners to find the right match, one that has connections, not only a physical connection but also en emotional one. alright? okay lets go. pair off" yeray

lu paired with samuel.

"hi" lu

"hey what's up"

yeray got off the elevator and saw carla walks towards him.

"i remember" yeray

"i was hoping i could speak with you about my audition" carla

"ms roson. this is the best school in the country. we're extremely selective" yeray

carla sighs "i know"

"there are other schools" yeray

"but i've been dreaming in studying here since i was a kid" carla

"i understand that" yeray

"i worked hard than anyone else. i mean if there something i did or screwed up i'll fix it" carla

yeray touched her should and said "miss roson, im sorry. i really am. tbh with you i think you got a lot of talent, there's nothing i can do" yeray said and shook his head

carla turn her back on him to walk away but yeray speaks

"miss roson, tell me something, why do you think you didn't get into this place? is it because you're not as good as the other girls in the audition?" yeray

"apparently im not" carla said

"if you really believed that, then maybe you should go back where you came from" yeray
