The Next Step

Chapter 2

Miss Kate: "Ok A-Troupe. I did auditions on the weekend and found the perfect member."

Everyone gathers around with excitment

Miss Kate: "It's a girl and she's 12"

Everyone looks confused.

Giselle: "You mean she's had 12 years of experience."

Miss Kate: "No. I mean she's 12 years old."

Emily: "Miss Kate, she can't qualify for A-troupe. She's as old as the J-troupers."

Miss Kate: "This is an exception, she can qualify. It's not based on age, it's based on skill. She's a dance prodigy."

Everyone stares at her in shock for a moment.

West: "So she has advanced skill'."

Miss Kate: "Yes. Exactly. So, she'll be here tommorow. I want everyone to welcome her and make her feel like a part of the team."

Everyone nods.

Miss Kate: "Ok, good job. Now get back to practising."

Everyone nods again as Miss Kate walks back to her office.

James: "Wow, that's shocking."

Riley: "Ya. Having a 12 year old here. That's going to be different."

Michelle: "Ok, you heard what Miss Kate said thought. We have to make her feel welcome. So be nice to her."

Everyone says yes together. They continue to practice.

Emily: "Ok, see you tomorow everyone." She said when practice was done.

"Bye" "see ya" "later"
