Most people just like to sing or dance for pleasure, for sports, or just to be more popular. But I love dancing; it is an art.
When I dance and I fold myself into different shapes, I feel as I'm interpreting a story with each song. I'm a completely different person and being.
I'm 20 and after starting UNI at 16 (due to my high IQ) and finishing it with the highest mark in my promotion (we can say I'm REALLY inteligent), I wanted to move on and show the world my real dancing talent. I wanted to share stage with really important and famous people. So I decided to go to Belgium, as many profesional coreographers can give you the oportunity of your life there.

I opened the door of my new apartment in the heart of Brussels. It was small but cozy! I jumped on top of my new bed and felt asleep. ''Tomorrow I will unpack my stuff" I thought.

After two weeks on Belgium, a friend of mine told me to go to a certain audition in the Dancing School Of Arts in Brussels. A very famous singer from that country was looking for a few dancers for his new song. He was going to direct his video. His name was Loïc Nottet.
I searched about him on the Internet. He nearly won the Voice Belgium in 2014, he went to the Eurovision Contest on 2015 and he was now planning on making a video for his new song Rhythm Inside. I was kinda nervous and really excited, but I knew exactly what I was going to dance. And I knew exactly how to make a breath-taking performance.

I stepped inside the Dancing School of Arts in Brussels. I signed up in the entrance for the audition. I was candidate 2999.... and I was the last one. This was going to be a loooooooong day...
After a few hours (where I warmed up, practiced and ate all my nails) it was the time for me to demonstrate what I'm capable of doing.
I opened a cold and hard metal door.... three judges stared at me really exhausted. I felt really worried.... maybe they were to tired for my show! But I walked confident, chin up, blood on fire.
'Name and candidate number' the woman judge said.
' 2999 and Teresa'
'Okay... what song are you going to dance?'she asked.
' Light'em up from Fall Out Boy mixed with Savior from Black Veil Brides' i said really confident.
'Nice pair!'said one of the judges.
'I'm sorry to tell you that Loic isn't here... he had an appointment...'
-Okay that's fine... less pressure if he isn't here..... YOU CAN DO IT- I thought.
The song began and I started telling a story through my dance. I could feel the words.... I was a thunderstorm of feelings!!!! Ballet mixed with modern dance and gymnastics. I loved doing complicated steps.... like triple summersaults in the air....
I Felt Free....
I finished.... really exhausted but happy... REALLY HAPPY... They told me to go with the other dancers and to wait. They didn't clap and neither congratulated me. Many things wondered my mind.... did I do it good???? Am I such a bad dancer???? Did I do something wrong?!?!?!?!
I was really nervous.... and couldn't even speak... I breathed strongly.
After a few minutes and to my suprise, a girl sat beside me and asked how it went. She also speaked english and her name was Justine.... I think I knew her from something else but I couldn't remember what.
Suddenly the judges told us to come in into a great and enormous room. All of us fitted there. The floor was smooth and giant chandeliers where hanging from the ceiling. The room was golden, like a fairytale palace. The woman judge told us that we had all done really good and that the level was too high, but they could only choose a few of us. From more than 2000 girls, only 5 would make it.
The judges began to say the names of the 5 privilidged:
'1867 → Justine"
I looked at her and smiled... she also smiled back and she wished me luck.
"0970 → Sarah"
"2101 → Nicole"
"0076 → Claire"
My fists were closed. Bitten lips. Unstopable feet. I WAS SHAKING AND I COULDN'T STOP!!!! I was so nervous that I wanted to go to the toilet desperately.... Will they choose me???? Or was I wasting my time being a dancer????
