ME AND MY DANCE

Chapter 10

Chapter 10:- Audition.

Damilola stared at the training bar which had made her fall terribly on the floor.

"What the heck was wrong with this people? How could a training bar stand in front of the door? Besides everyone here were meant to be professionals, weren't they? What on earth were they using a training bar for?" Damilola thought to herself almost in tears. If not for this stupid stupid bar, she wouldn't have been caught.

Damilola stood up from the floor nervously as she faced the numerous glares at her. She laughed embarrassingly and began to arrange the training bar to ease the attention on her. Unfortunately for her, everyone's eyes were fixed on her, including the Judges and those who came for auditions. Some were laughing at her embarrassing state, while some were looking at her with a look of disgust. Just how could a person be this stupid. She wasn't surprised that there were people looking at her with that look, she also felt stupid.

She cleared her throat nervously and started to say nothing in particular.

"Hi", she said smiling nervously, but when she saw no friendly gaze at her, she began to speak, "I um, you know, ahh, I mean."

She took a long breath in then continued, this time saying something that made sense.

"I am sorry, I am late. Has the audition ended?"

Like she didn't say anything, everyone diverted their attention else where, giving her space to breath.

The director quickly excused herself and grabbed Damilola out.

"Gosh! Where have you been, woman?"

"I am really sorry ma'am, it's a really long story."

Seeing how stressed out Damilola looked, she couldn't help but feel pity for her.

She knew the girl. She was always up to task. This is like the first time she had ever been late for anything.

The first time she met Damilola at the institute, she liked her at once. She looked like someone who pursued whatever she wanted with vigour and won't stop till she got it. That was why when she offered to work for her, she agreed immediately even when she had no job opportunity for her. She just had the urge to want to support the girl's dream, so, she created a job for her.

The director calmed down and asked her to go get dressed.

By the time Damilola was dressed in a tube blouse and leggings, the audition had almost reached it's peak.

Getting to the audition room, there was a girl dancing. She was a barley dancer and she was dancing to a song titled 'All I ask by Adele'.

Damilola couldn't help but stare at her in a daze. She was damn too good. She got her timing and steps perfectly well. Fear began to envelope her. If this were the people she would be competing against, isn't she in for it?

Few minutes later the girl was done, everyone's eyes were on her. Damilola could see the fear in their eyes.

The girl feeling so full of herself, walked arrogantly back to where she sat before she was called.

The next person was an hip-hop dancer. She danced to a song titled 'The message by Furious 5'

This girl gave her a very cool feeling as she danced.

Damilola majored in contemporary dance but she was also an hip-hop dancer.

She learnt hip-hop based on the fact that she saw it as interesting.

She learnt it to an extent that she became much better than most hip-hop dancers that she knew.

Seeing this girl right now, she felt threatened. What threatened her the most was, she could see that this girl hadn't learnt this hip-hop dance for up to two years because her steps were a little weak but this her dance was extremely threatening. But the girl didn't imbibe as much fear in her as the previous person.
