I’m so hyper ventilating! I just had THE best day, THE best dance class EVER!!  Let’s start from the beginning…

I don’t know if I posted about this. But recap: Some time ago my dance teacher gave us our grades for every style and physical condition. He gave me Poor in House (Trance, Psy… whatever you wanna call it). I was really upset, but I knew I sucked at it so not THAT upset. Today when I got to class there was this guy from the Advanced class and my teacher said he was there to give us a class about House. My instant reaction: “Fuck! I suck at this…” He started teaching us some basics. At first, I wasn’t as bad as last class but still sucking at it. He saw I was trying my best and he came to me and said: “Hey, feel the music. Forget about getting it right or wrong. Just close your eyes and feel the music.” He turned the music up and I closed my eyes. I  started getting into it. and he continued: “Yeah, like that, don’t be shy, lose control.” And so I did. I started dancing, and dancing with my heart and soul. When I opened my eyes I was dancing and I saw my teacher, the one who gave me Poor for House Trance, watching me. The “new” teacher started passing a choreography. I got it at first. I was SOOOOO happy. and I was actually feeling the groove and not sucking at it. My teacher got up and said he would include that choreo. into ours. And he started putting people into places. His thing is, the bests in the front and the bests of the bests in the middle in the front. He grabbed my arm and put me in the front and right in the middle! Damn right I was so frikin’ happy! He asked us to do the choreo. and the whole class was watching us. Just me, and the “new” teacher. I did it, and felt the groove, and lost control. Seriously, now I’m addicted to it. It’s the best thing ever! When you get it, it’s like soooo good! So, that’s part 1 of my happiness.

Part 2:  For the ones who are following my previous posts you all know that I’ve been working really hard to get my Freeze right. Right after my House Trance moment my teacher told us to do the choreo. I started doing it, beyond the fact that lately my memory is really bad (probably finals) I kind of forgot some steps, but few people noticed. When it came to the part 0f the partners I was so nervous. I went next to my partner and started doing our dance. He went around me (move right before the Freeze) and got down. Honestly, I don’t know exactly what was on my mind right there. The main thing was: the worst it can happen is death. So I went. And I did it perfectly!! Last class I kind of did it. But today, it was simply perfect! My hands didn’t shake, my legs were perfect. EVERYTHING was perfect! I was almost jumping up and down upside down (wonder how that would look like). My partner was already celebrating, I wanted to celebrate with him, but I couldn’t! (cause I was upside down). When I got up I was hyper ventilating. I finished our choreo. and exit left. When the choreo finished I went running back in and my partner came running towards me. We were both so happy! He hugged me and we started jumping and screaming and laughing and talking at the same time about how perfect it was! The whole class was just staring at us as if we were some kinda psychos. But I don’t care! I DID IT! FINALLY! My dream came true! Our dream! If anyone filmed that moment it would’ve been so Hollywood! Me running and us hugging and jumping up and down and him lifting me up the ground. It was unforgettable. Class ended, and I went to the car. I couldn’t stop talking, I was still hyper ventilating and still am right now. I’ll probably be forever like this. I’m so proud of myself, and my partner is so proud of me. I couldn’t be happier. So, I want to thank everyone that helped me do it at school. That gave me support, not only physical so I wouldn’t fall and die, but moral to help me win my fears. Thanks to:

-Laura: who was always next to me and helped me forget my fears. 

-Lorraine: for giving me advise on how to maintain my body and not fall and open my head on the floor.

-Andrea: my super cheerleader who not only was there when I tried it for the first time on the wall but also went through all my emotions when I got something right or wrong.

-Ylane: Who told me how to keep my body in place, and gave me support to go ahead because “I could do it”.

-Carole: Who was always there, sitting or standing, watching me do my crazy stuff. Waiting for the time I would go and fall head first. Laughing when I kept doing it all the time and running to help me when I was about to die.

Thank you so much you all. And thank you of course, to my partner that put faith in me and believed in me. Thank you for not giving up on me as a dancer and as a person. I will obviously not say his name because if he reads this he’ll think I’m some kind of stalker that writes about him in a blog. I really hope his English is not good. If you’re reading this… hum… it’s not you! Really, I’m not a stalker, I’m not crazy… Okay, maybe I am. But really who’s not? Plus, I’d rather be myself than blend into the ordinary…

Love you guys!!
