Today was the day of my big dance performance! I had been practicing for weeks
and I had the whole dance memorized. When I got to the performance hall, I put
on my new shoes and hat. I checked my reflection in the mirror
. "I look good!" !
hought with a grin. It was almost my turn to perform, so I peeked out from behind
the curtain. There were so many people in the audience! I began to feel a little
nervous. But then I saw my parents smiling in the front row. "I can do this!" I thought
to myself. When the curtain opened and the music started, I felt my confidence
grow as I remembered all the steps I had practiced. First, I heard the beat get
fast so I did a quick spin and tipped my hat. When the beat slowed down, I did a
shume and twist. I was almost finished dancing, when suddenly, I saw that there
a loose board at the front of the stage. But it was too late, I tripped over it and
almost fell off stage! I caught myself just in time and jumped backward, pretending
like it was just part of my dance. The music ended and I bowed. Everyone in the
audience jumped to their feet and clapped. My parents were cheering loudest of
I was so happy that I did a little jig and smiled before walking off stage. After
the performance was over, my coach gave me a pat on the back and said
, "Nice
b. Marcus!" My parents were so proud of me, they brought me to get ice cream!
