Sock Hop Hamartia

"Go Grease Lightning!"

The Sylvister Academy of Performing Arts has been in the works for six years now, bringing certain teenagers into a world full of drama, choir, art, and dance. The main theme of the drama club has been focusing around musicals, each class being the study of a certain musical per day. By a unanimous vote, the drama club is going to be performing their adaption of Grease at the end of the year Arts Festival.

Harriet Bardot, a drama club enthusiast, is not excited to find out that the actors and actresses must perform several dances and songs. She can sing and sing well, but her dancing was the worst of everyone. Accused of left feet all her life, she contemplates whether or not she should give up this project. But, since it counts towards her final grade, she decides to stay in and continue the rehearsals of Grease.

She ends up being cast as Sandy, which is a bummer because she must dance a lot. Her life turns upside down, however, when she attempts to learn the sock hop for the history of the movie. Having the hand jive down, the sock hop was something they were adding just for the sake of having fun. Turns out, Harriet is awful at the sock hop and cannot do it whatsoever. Gerald, her mentor, is completely frustrated with her inability and decides to give up.

This hamartia is most definitely a tough cookie to crack.
