a perri kiely dream

♡ chapter 4 ♡

Today is the day I get to see diversity once again. Maybe even for the last time (in person). So I've really got to make it count. Replying to messages from excited friends, I get ready for an amazing day! I wear black leggings again with my white Nike top and orange bandana. My hair is still in plaits from yesterday and they don't look to messy so I decide to keep them in. When I am ready to leave the house I double check I have everything I need in my dance bag and slide on my orange air forces, which compliment my hair accessory. I am excited beyond belief!!

Whilst sitting on the bus, I am so full of energy and I just can't wait to get there. I tap my feet a lot, marking dance routines I have learnt in the past to pass the time which just gets me told off by a moody teenager in front of me. Nothing anyone can say to me will ruin my mood today though, so as I jump of the bus with joy I giggle to myself with probably a mixture of nerves and excitement.

I'm finally here! In the building I go, through the doors, down the corridor, through more doors and, after taking a deep breath, into diversity's dance studio. My eyes light up as I take a glance around the place. It's incredible! Everything I ever imagined it to be! Lots of other people are gathered around too, some staring in awe like me and others who have perhaps been here before just chatting with their mates. I drop my bag next to a wall with some of the others and look around to see who will be teaching us! "Morning everyone! Wellcome to your diversity dance class" One of the boys boom from the balcony kind of thing in the studio. Everyone turns their heads as we hear two sets of footsteps plodding down the spiral stair case. It's Nathan! I'm very happy about this because I love Nathan so much. He is so inspiring and such a talented dancer. "I always feel like Harry Potter when walking down these stairs" the person behind him giggled. As soon as he began speaking I knew it was him and I think others did too as I heard a few "yeeeessss"'s around me. Sure enough the Afro appeared behind Nathan! Perri! I couldn't have been happier! "Right guys, without further ado let's get right into this!" Perri directs. "Thank you all for coming I really hope you enjoy today's activity's." As he finishes he catches my eye and gives me a small wave. I give him a big beaming smile back.

The whole day goes by sooo quickly. First we did a really fun- as well as funny- warm up due to all the hilarious comments made by Pel and Nathan. After this we learnt a little about how we can be better at freestyle which actually helped me out a lot as that is definitely one thing I have always found slightly harder. Following up on this we did a huge freestyle circle which was the best! I was a little nervous that when I went in I would freeze up like I have in other experiences but I did ok and everyone was cheering so it felt good. We had lunch after this and Perri came to tell me how he thought my freestyle was great! For the rest of the day we did some drills and a sick routine. It was so energetic but also had awesome, controlled movements that were really fun to execute.

When I thought we were done Nathan announced that him and Perri would be picking one or two people to dance the routine by them self's in front of the rest of the diversity. I was so excited and gave it my all as the two boys watched us all dance together one last time. "Okay well done everyone you have all been so amazing. I am honestly blown away" Perri begins. "Yasss thank you hunnyysss, we will now reveal who we would like to dance it in front of the rest of the boys!" Nathan continues enthusiastically. I silently pray that I get picked. Tension builds up in the room, I feel people nervously staring around the room at each other wondering who the lucky one will be. "okay we have come to a decision! We think this person has an incredibly unique and interesting style. They have interpreted some of the moves a little into their own which is a really good skill to have and makes the routine their own. So the person we have chosen is..." Perri exclaims... "Isabel!!" I'm shocked! How much more lucky can I get! First the opportunity to go on stage with them and now this!
