Dancers life

Chapter 12

Olivia

Today is competition day! I am so nervous all my friends are doing there solos but I am the most scared because I choreographed my own! The first up we had our group ballet. I wasn't as nervous for that one. We went backstage and all formed a circle we had to say something nice to the person to our right. I got great complements which made me less nervous. Then one by one we all walked on stage. We nailed it!!! I was so proud but now it was time to do our jazz we made the circle again and nailed that dance too. Now it was tap time we did the same! one judge kept staring at me. Now it was time to get serious. I had to do my solo. When they announced mine as self choreographed my stomach bubbled up. I went out and I was doing great! I was so proud of myself until the tape came up during my turn combination and I fell to the ground. I improvised though my leg was in terrible pain. I kept smiling! I walked off stage and went back for my duet. My leg hurt but I sucked it up and dance as good as I could and I was happy for myself!
