Gina's the first to step on stage, in a stunning outfit. A sequined top hugs her slim figure, extending down her arms and ending at her wrist. Her skirt is stunning, with layers of red and yellow satin overlapping with a sequined hem, similar to the glittering black top she's wearing. There's an introduction and, I believe, an Instagram video of Carlos doing a salsa dance to music. Not that I know what the song is whatsoever. Or have any understanding of how Instagram works. Facebook is enough of a hassle, with all of its new features and basically completely redesigned website.
When the music cues up, I'm instantly drawn to the performance, entranced by Gina's stunning voice.
"Woah
It's time to turn it up
Let the music take over your body
And dance like everyone is watchin'
Your moves inspire me
To be the best I can be
Not alone, but in harmony, fearlessly
This rhythm's hot like the sun
Don't you dare disagree
If you think so, then come and join me
When you move, I move, we move
Together as one
It don't matter who you are
When we dance, we're all stars
Different in so many ways, but when we hit the stage
We all share the same thing
A dancer's heart
(Come on)
(Yeah, yeah)
(Oh, woah)
The truth's in every turn
One, two step, I have learned so much from you
And the way you groove
We got nothin' to lose
This rhythm's hot like the sun
Don't you dare disagree
If you think so, then come and join me
When you move, I move, we move
Together as one
It don't matter who you are
When we dance, we're all stars
Different in so many ways, but when we hit the stage
We all share the same thing
A dancer's heart
Turn the music up, let the rhythm move your body
No more to discuss, go and grab someone
Stranger or a friend, it don't matter in the end
Let this feelin' take over your life
When you move, I move, we move
Together as one (Together as one)
It don't matter who you are
When we dance, we're all stars
Different in so many ways, but when we hit the stage
We all share the same thing (We all share the same thing)
A dancer's heart
When you move, I move, we move
Together as one
It don't matter who you are
When we dance, we're all stars
Different in so many ways, but when we hit the stage
We all share the same thing
A dancer's heart" Okay, I'm not usually jealous of other people's performances, but this almost makes me want to get on stage.
I have to admit, that was a slight over exaggeration. I'm still terrified at the mere thought of giving a speech in front of Parliament. The entire Parliament. Even just thinking about it now is getting my heart racing, palms sweaty, and my focus is down the drain.
Hell, I don't even notice that Carlos' boyfriend—the very person that organized all of this—is missing. Or that he comes in on the back of a tractor. Not until I hear the first notes of the white piano are hit. It's another song I don't know, though, although it seems vaguely familiar.
"I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreamin', but
There's a voice inside my head sayin'
"You'll never reach it"
Every step I'm takin'
Every move I make feels lost
With no direction
My faith is shaken
But I, I gotta keep tryin'
Gotta keep my head held high
