Lo mejor que se le pudo ocurrir a mi profesora de dance del colegio fue crear un Dance Gala!! Una actuación donde mostramos muchas de las coreografías que habíamos hecho durante el curso y donde mas de una nos atrevimos con un solo.
Tuvo lugar el 9 de diciembre, en el quinto periodo para alumnos y profesores; y por la noche a las 7, otra actuación para las familias.
We had a month to get it ready, choreographies, ticket sales, posters, costumes, props...but we finally made it. It was called Euhpria, and the opening number was a song from Circe du Soleil and it was a perfect one to start our show: "Alegria, a joyous, magical feeling".
I cannot believe how brave I was to
do a solo with flamenco music; I did not know if I had enough time to create
the choreography, or if people would like it as much as I did. Fortunately, I
had my own costume so I did not have to worry about making another one for my
dance. I worked on it at home every night before going to bed and I think I did
a great job.
Apart for my solo, I was involved in
Bounce, a dance with a Bollywood theme, and the 70’s, with Mamma Mia and Funkytown songs. However, I was also in the opening number as a mask person
in the audience, and in the finale. Both of them included all of Ms. Revellis’ 50
dancers. Overall, everything put together was really awesome.
Thanks to this Gala, I have grown as a dancer, student and person, and I know
I did my best. I loved the last month preparing the gala and the final result.
We have worked really hard and we finally made it possible. I would love to
make something like this later and work with the same people I have worked with
– I loved it! :)
