Today was the day when we presented our five counts of eight. We had about fifteen minutes at the beginning of class to practice and get ourselves prepared. In that fifteen minutes we had to teach one of our group members three more counts of eight. That went really well, he picked up on it really fast! I don't even know how many times we went over it, but we were ready to present!
We were the fourth group to go, after watching other choreographed pieces I felt a bit nervous, they were really good and well choreographed. When it was our turn to go up, my heart was pounding very fast. We presented the dance two times, and both times went very well! We got no negative feedback and everyone seemed to like it! I was very excited about it.
After everyone had presented, my dance teacher wanted to put our parts together and form a complete dance. She grabbed group one and through a few more people into it to learn the choreography. Then the rest of us were thrown into group three to learn the sequence and perform it. She would then choose who to be in that group.
At the end of class, the teacher made me a bit concerned. She had stated that if we didn't have time to complete the dance, then it would not be in the Dance Show. If this piece was not in the show, I would be in one dance. I didn't find that very fair seeing as there are a few students who are in three+ dances. I wanted to be in at least two dances seeing as my first dance has fourty dancers in it.
After talking to the teacher at the end of class, the conversation ended with the words, " Well that sucks. " I was not impressed and very ragged. I love to dance and I love to perform dance. To think that I may be cut to only one, made me feel like I was wasting my time and energy.
But now, there is nothing I can do, other than wait and see.
Fact: I wish I could do the splits. :(
