They were in their places and then the curtains opened to reveal a dark audience. The music started up and they began their dance.

Bella got into a groove and performed her heart out knowing that her dad, boyfriend, friends, and family were out there watching her perform tonight.

The dance finished, and the audience applauded. The curtains closed so that they could rush off the stage and get ready for their next dance.

Well, it was Bella's first solo of the night. The Staircase Ballet, when after this she would go straight into Guaglione by Perez Perado. A comical piece that put you would think would put Bella into an awkward position as they based it on Bella getting everything wrong, but it wouldn't be only herself but others doing the wrong thing and pretending to drink pints of Guinness as the music was used for their advert.

It got laughs from the audience as they enjoyed it. Alan was proud of what Bella has accomplished in such a short space of time. He wanted to record her dancing, but he would get caught.

Alan looked down at the programme to see that Bella would be dancing on her own for the second time this evening. It didn't list the name of the song, it only said, "Bella's First Solo" and then Bella's name – Isabella Marie Rickman.

The curtain had closed on the previous dance, Bella was next on.

Bella was stood at the back of the stage facing away from the front of the stage. She had a grey mac coat on with the exact same dress that Sharleen Spiteri had worn on the video that she filmed with her dad.

The music started up and Bella started to dance her heart out.

Alan looked to see his daughter dancing to In Demand. He leaned forwards and opened his camera on his phone and started to film Bella dancing. He was so proud of her.

But what stunned him was that she was in the exact dress that Sharleen had worn. 'She looks stunning.' Alan thought to himself.

The dance ended. He stood up and applauded his daughter that was when he spotted Sharleen downstairs also standing up and applauding. Alan smiled and then sat back down ready to watch the rest of the show.

Now it was surprise time for her dad and her friends. As they knew she wasn't big on talking. So, this would be a shock for them all.

The Finale started with Puttin' On The Ritz sung by Robbie Williams. It was a classy song, and they were dressed in 20's swing dresses. They were tap dancing and doing swing dancing.

They then did a selection from Mamma Mia! where Bella danced in the last part of the section which was 'Waterloo'.
