Senior Xmas Performance Practice

  Today is Sunday, but I still go to school because seniors have to practice the dances. Most people arrive around 2:30 pm because that’s when the practice starts, however I’m not able to make it that early since I have tutor. When I get to school, it’s around 5:30 pm, and I see lots of people, not only the seniors, are there. After everyone finishes the dinner, we gather at the dance room and start reviewing the steps of Time Warp, which is the dance that all seniors participate in. My favorite part in the Time Warp is when everyone lines up together because it seems impressive. When the Time Warp is done, the rest stays and practice the basketball dance. Although I still miss some moves, I think I’m familiar with most of the parts. For tomorrow’s rehearsal, I must remember all the steps and not having any mistake due to the fact that it would be the last time practice. Seniors have been working hard for preparing the shows, and I believe that we’re the most attractive also the best.

Xmas Performance Rehearsal

    Today the whole school went down to Kuang-Fu gym to run through the Christmas Performance on next Wednesday. Seniors had lots of dances, which were mostly choreographed by Antony. I participated in the basketball dance and the last dance. I wasn’t familiar enough of both dances due to less practice time. Next week, everything is bunched up: 3 days basketball games, final exam, and the Christmas Performance. This week is like an energy testing tryout because all basketball team players have to practice their dances after the basketball practice. I don’t want to look bad on stage, especially I’m a senior: I’m eager to leave a wonderful memory in my mind. This Sunday, the seniors will go to school and practice all the dances. Everyone is putting so much effort and trying so hard, so I mustn’t be the one who destroy everything. I hope all the seniors can do perfectly on stage.

Long Time No See, Basketball Dance

    Next Tuesday is the Christmas Performance, and today some of the seniors finally finish learning the whole piece of basketball dance. There is one move that I would never forget how to do because I practice for a lot of times. When Antony teaches everyone this move, all the others seem to be doing it quite well. But, I am the only one who has trouble doing it. This move is to put the ball behind your back, throw it over your head, and catch it. I just don’t get the key to do the action successfully. After I practice for several times, I still can’t throw the ball to the front. I’m nervous because I don’t want to ruin everyone, destroy the whole dance. So I ask Esther for help, and she teaches me. After she tells me that I have to use the power of my wrists to throw the ball rather than my arms, my brain seem to be illuminated. I’m excited because I finally know how to do this cool move. Although we know the whole basketball dance, it’s still pretty messy. There are still two more practices, and I hope we can be more organized. So on Tuesday, we can do the dance well no stage.

Second Basketball Dance Practice

  Today is the second time when I practice the basketball dance for the Christmas performance. The senior class prepares a show which needs everyone’s participation. Since this is my last year at PAS, I want to join events that could be long-lasting and memorable. Thus, I decided to do the basketball dance. Moreover, I could learn some dancing skill while the dance is about my favorite thing-basketball.

  Antony is the choreographer of the whole dance, and we learned some new moves today. The practice today isn’t as tiring as last time, and I think it’s because I’m more familiar with the fast beat of the song and we didn’t do so many moves like the first time practice. Until now, we only complete one-half of the song, but there are only few weeks away from the Christmas show. I hope I can be able to remember all the moves and give my best shot.
