Apart from the dance majors, many students from other departments also came to see the dance competition. I paid good money to get a team of people to promote the dance competition. There were even professional media teams broadcasting the competition live.
I also asked the host to switch the sequence up, making sure Simone went up just before me.
After changing into my dance outfit and getting my makeup done, I waited backstage to enjoy the upcoming show.
A spotlight illuminated the dark stage, and Simone went up.
It went without saying that she did possess some talent. After all, she managed to get into college as a dance major.
Her moves were smooth and graceful. However, I was able to notice when she suddenly stiffened. From then onward, she started missing her beats, and her movements started stiffening up even more.
Soon, even those who weren’t dance majors noticed her mistakes.
“What’s going on? Why can’t she keep up with the beat?”
“Her dance is too stiff. Who is she? Why is she so bad at dancing?”
Even the judges were frowning.
Out of the blue, the straps snapped, and her naked chest was revealed. Thanks to the strong spotlight, every movement on the stage was clear for all to see.
Instantly, the crowd gasped and hollered. Phones were raised, and the flashes kept going off.
Turning bright red, Simone covered her chest and ran off stage.
The crowd was in an uproar. The host had to ask them to quiet down three times before they finally settled down a bit.
It was now my turn to perform. I was determined to finish the dance I couldn’t complete in my previous life.
As the music played, I steadied my breathing and controlled my movements to perfection. The dance routine I performed was considered one of the most difficult ones around–not because it had flashy techniques, but because it required extremely precise control over one’s breathing and body.
Keeping an even balance between strength and gracefulness, I moved across the stage, pouring my heart into my performance.
Once my routine ended, the crowd went wild. Even the judges gave me looks of approval while Jeremy stood beside them to cheer for me.
