I feel the
leather and elastic of the jazz shoe on my foot. I can see the numbers pinned
on their chests. I can hear every heart in this room racing including mine. I
can taste the anxiety bouncing around the room. I smell the funk from everybody
sweating. The hardest thing I've ever done was audition for The Academy at my
dance school.
First, let
me tell you what The Academy is at my dance school. It is the elite performing
group that competes and does special performances during the year. To get in
you have to do a solo audition. I had to make up a dance and it took a long
time and was very difficult. I got stumped, frustrated, and sad. The night of
the audition I was very nervous but went in there and did my best and they said
I did a good job.
To get into
The Academy you also have to do a group audition. The problem is I was sick
that day and I almost threw up at school. I got sent home from school because I
was too sick but I still went to the group audition that evening. We had to do
ballet and jazz. The hardest part was
the jazz. In the end none of my very hard work paid off because I didn’t even
get in The Academy. But I can always try again! Don't give up!
