Dancing became the second life of Jamaica Joe. She will never calm down, not until she dances. It was perfect; she has friends and is a part of a dance team that she leads. It was one summer when she met a guy who dances flawlessly. She couldn't hel...

"Try not to exert too much energy. It would be best if you match your energy with the others. In that way, the coordination will look synchronized and uniform," sabi ko sa isang member trying to highlight himself. Napapansin ko kasing gusto niyang lamangan ang iba.
I get it that he wants to be discovered but it's hip hop for goodness sake. In times like this, we need to have teamwork and cooperation. Panget tingnan ang team kung may isang gustong mag standout. It's not an individual grading, it's a dance team.
Tumango ang junior na pinagsabihan ko at bumalik sa kanyang puwesto. Rush is on the other side trying to teach members who had a hard time memorizing the moves. I shrug my head at bumalik na sa formation ko.
"In 3, 2, 1. Go!" sigaw ko at nagstart ulit kaming sayawin ang choreography na tinuro namin.
We started to practice early dahil gusto nila by the time na malapit na ang competition, gamay na nila ang choreography at polished na ang mga movements. Good thing that Rush and I were able to create a choreography. Paulit-ulit nga kaming nagbangayan dahil he's suggesting a lot of complicated moves so I advise him to use moves that can be easily remembered so that members won't have a hard time executing them and to avoid mental blocking.
But he still insisted to insert difficult moves that can cause confusion to the flow. I got tired of arguing with him so I accepted my defeat and let him do what he want. Now looks like pati siya nahihirapan sa pagturo dahil ang daming di makakuha sa ginawa niyang dance movement. At dahil siya ang gumawa ng mga complicated na movements, wala siyang nagawa kundi turuan ang mga members na di makagets.
Anim lang kaming nakakuha sa choreo, the rest na kay Rush na nagpapaturo ulit. We stop again dahil nakompleto na naming sayawin ang routine. 1/4 palang ng choreo ang naturo dahil hanggang doon lang ang nagawa namin. The other members at the side look at us in awe while Rush is still talking to other members, teaching them the moves.
Kinuha ko ang hydro flask ni Haze na sa sahig ko nilagay. I drank from it to replenish my thirst. The reason why I'm using it again is that my Mom brought my tumbler on her business trip. Naalala ko pa nga kung paano ako sumigaw sa labas ng bahay trying to catch up the moving car that my Mom uses. I shouted from the top of my lungs na ibalik ang insulated tumbler ko but it's a failure dahil nakalabas na ang sasakyan sa village gate. She's going to London with her boss for an international project kaya 2 or 3 weeks siyang mawawala.
If Haze will see me using his tumbler, I'll just explain the situation. I know he's going to understand it... or maybe not?
"Sino ba kasing gumawa ng choreo na'to?" reklamo ni Matt habang nagpupunas ng kanyang pawis. Nginuso ko si Rush na busy sa pagtuturo sa ibang members. Matt look at Rush direction and then look at me like he's disappointed.
"Really? You let him?" I rolled my eyes at his remarks. I did try alright.
"Ayaw niya patalo eh. Hinayaan ko nalang, diyan siya masaya eh," He look at me with suspicious eyes. Ayaw maniwala sa sinabi ko.
