The Dream Dance of a lifetime

Mrs Liguo to the rescue

Tuesday afternoon at dance class, Madam Roselle walks in the studio..
" Good afternoon girls, we have some bad news. Some of you girls know the news that teenage boys bought the costumes and a new stock won't be available until after the concert. So there's no costume fitting today."
She announced

" What are we going to use instead of those costumes?"
Asked Mirai and Penny.
" Well the costumes, sadly there's no costume and the best thing we can do is just to come up with one ourselves."
Said Coraline.
" Absolutely right Coraline. The costume will be very simple and not as what we planned. So the costumes will be a black leotard, a black wrap skirt, red and black cloaks and we'll be using the props."
Replied Madam Roselle.

" I knew she was going to say that."
I thought.
We got on with our rehearsals and I have improved so much with my Thor solo and some of the girls still needed a little help with getting the steps right. Luckily that Captain Marvel is my other dance teacher and I can practice when she comes over to my house which is always every week. She has always thought about teaching my friends and correcting the mistakes.

Every Friday and Saturday afternoons, Penny and Coraline come over to my house to practice the dance and Captain Marvel fixes up any bit that needs a little more articulation. She says " Articulation is the key to being a great dancer."
Captain Marvel never criticises me for any mistake but Madam Roselle sometimes criticises me with the wrong steps.

Audrey tells her mum about the costume problem when she gets home and her mum has the perfect idea.
" No worry Audrey I make dance costume for the concert."
She says
" Really? Are you going to make Thor costumes?"
Asked Audrey.
" Yes yes I look up design on internet and concert next Sunday. It take few days make.
Said Audrey's mum.
" Thanks you're the best mum."
Replied Audrey.

Thursday dance class, Audrey gets the measurements of the girl's ballet costumes. " My mum said she is going to be making the dance costumes and I'm giving her the measurements today."
She says.
" Wow, I didn't know that your mum was a fashion designer. Yes I will hand you the measurements after class."
Replied Madam Roselle.

Class was our usual warm up and rehearsals for the concert. Then after class, Madam Roselle hands Audrey the measurements of the girls. Then Audrey gives her mum the girl's measurements and came up with the design ideas, then drawn on paper highly detailed so her mum could see the annotations and the success criteria.

" I'm done with the design ideas."
She says
" Oh That very beautiful Audrey, I will set to work making these costumes for the fitting Tuesday."
Said Audrey's mum.

I couldn't wait to see the costumes that Audrey's mum made for our concert. I phoned Audrey and asked her if the costumes were ready for Tuesday.
" Hi Audrey, How are the costumes going? "
I asked
" Yes, they are going very well and we shall be done by Sunday. My mum is sewing them right now."
Audrey replied.

All weekend, I have worked on the dance and practising with Captain Marvel and Ashley. Usually Ashley was practising with her friends and I was being trained by Captain Marvel. But from Tuesday last week, Ashley and I practice the dance together.
Coraline and Penny come over to my house on Sunday mornings for rehearsals and coaching with Captain Marvel. Audrey's mum doesn't allow her to go over to my house for Dance Rehearsals and coaching unless her mum is watching her.

I can say that Audrey's mum rarely Leaves Audrey alone. She only leaves her alone during school hours and dance class. Mrs Liguo is a great costume designer and she is known best for her costumes and the love she puts into it. I'm at least very thankful that Audrey's mum is a fashion designer and she could use all of her spare time to work on the costumes for the dance concert.

I couldn't wait until Tuesday because Audrey was going into class giving the costumes for the dance. And the costume fitting after class. It was just amazing how Mrs Liguo could whip up amazing costumes for concerts and cosplay.
