Its my turn now.

I slowly walk in the middle of the stage. With the Curtains still infront of me.

My dance contains a life orchestra which makes the routine even harder.
Because I always trained with a music player.
And Zenovia always says.

„Only bad dancers need a rehearsal with their life orchestra"

Gosh I hate her.

After seeing Karo's performance. I'm really questioning myself and my performance. Should I add something ? Or not?
I mean I've been dancing for decades, a change wouldn't be a big problem for me or ?

The music starts.

All for us (zendaya)

The curtains open.

And a big audience is watching me, atleast ten thousand eyes.

I stand straight and start.

And oh my-

The music sounds even better as orchestra.

„Bigger turns Alora"

„Bigger arms and a deeper plié"

As I watch the audience. I see a known face in sitting in a high row. Watching me in disbelieve.
As my turns get slower and slower. I make myself ready for jumps covering them with smoothly movements with my arms.

Adding some rhythmic movements makes me more confident in this dance, and that's when I know.

The dance is going to bring change.

taking it all for us is all i hear in my head.

It runs trough my head like it is a part of me.

Landing smoothly on my feet after my Pirouette . I make sure my facial expressions runs the routine and my movements. The music is dark. That means my facial expressions are dark and I look broken.

Little did I know that this song describes my life.

Ballet is my life. And it will ever be. It is and was my escape from life.

I land perfectly and the music stops.

I did it. As the audience clapped and even stood up for me. I smile bright and the curtains slowly close. As they close my attention lands on this black man. Still in disbelieve. He looks a little shocked and anxious.

I'm describing it how I see it.

The curtains close and I walk of the stage backstage.

„Alora...YOU DID PERFECT, HELLO THIS WAS A BRODWAY PERFROMANCE...DO YOU KNOW HOW PROUD YOU MAKE ME?" Soph screams by near making me smile as bright as ever. I never was so proud of a performance.
„YOU DID PERFECT OH MY GOSH" Jenay hugs me tight.

„Thank you guys" i say before getting a check kiss from my best friend and a tight hug again.
While hugging i see my teacher watching me in disbelieve.
I let go of my Soph.
„Nice...just nice" she says being more happier than me. I love her so much.

„You did great Alora"
„thank you"

Zenovia slowly walks over me. With a...smile on her face?! Is she plotting something ?
She takes a deep breath.

„you did amazing Alora, what you did out there was a Paris performance, i'm proud of you"
She says, with a proud smile on her face before leaving to make the other girls ready.

I'm confused.

„did she just-"
„just leave it" i break her sentence.
