Dance Gala

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! :)
