My experience...
By Nicolás Calvo I.
Ok,
hey guys!, I hope you had spent an awesome and enjoyable national week. You
should see a lot of people playing, eating and most of all dancing. Of course,
it’s a date where people can have fun with their friends and family.
For me, I had fun as well, but there was a
little problem that I want to cope with this year; dancing the national dance,
“la cueca”. Therefore, I wanted to find out, but I am a little too bored with
dancing. Despite my problem, I wanted to break the ice before September 18th.
Indeed, one night I was watching some videos on tv, and I suddenly watched a
video of a couple dancing cueca, so I thought: “It is a piece of cake”. But as
you know, one thing is thinking the movements in your mind, but another
completely thing is the rehearsal with your partner.
At first, I was a mess trying to dance, I
mean, TRYING TO DANCE, because I didn’t know what I was doing. However, my mom,
wanted to help me improve. I think, one
of the mental things that you need to do to succeed in life, is let bygones be
bygones during the whole rehearsal, and instead of that, make hay while the sun
shines. You know what…I didn’t tell you why I was doing all these, is for one
just particular reason, my reputation to be a good dancer, no a GOGO DANCER, A
GOOD dancer. I just wanted to be good, not excellent but at least be
coordinated.
Where
was I…?
Oh,
yes, about my rehearsal.
Well,
at first, I was tired of dancing all day long every day, but in the end I
started to get used to do it, and I even liked it. Another thing that you have
to be aware of
is the smile on your face, the
movement of the feet, your outfit, your attitude, everything must be perfect,
so I put all my effort to do it well. Finally, I did it quite well, according
to my mom.
And
guys!, guess what, one night I was dancing and drinking with my friends (that
happened on September 18th), when suddenly someone asked me if I
wanted to dance cueca with her, so, as you may think, I said yes.
At
the beginning, I was anxious and my body was shaking, even I almost fainted,
but when the music turned on, I felt confident and very sure on my previous knowledge about my dancing. So I keep one’s fingers
crossed.
And
guess what????....
When
the music turned off, I heard a lot of applauses coming from my parents,
friends and even unknown people. After that, a big smile appeared on my face
and I felt so, but so grateful for the opportunity that I had that night. That
was one of the best nights that I had that week. This could probably sound like
the end of the story, but that was not the funny thing.
After
that I heard all the applauses and all that, magically I threw up on all my
partner’s outfit, feeling ashamed and embarrassed at the same time.
Thus,
the next thing that I have to learn and practice is NOT to drink before dancing.
