I was in 6th grade when I and my friends decided to do a dance for our dance show at school. at that time the popular song that everyone was singing was “Hips don’t lie” of Shakira. So we decided to perform with that song. We were only three Anna, Samantha and me but since we were best friends we knew that the dance was going to be great. We planned it all carefully because we wanted it to be perfect. We even design our costumes so it will go with the song. We decided to make a wrap for our waist pretending it will be something similar of a belling dancing costume. We told our moms about it and were all excited too, so they helped is to get the fabric so we could start working on them. Some days we went to Mundo de las Manualidades a store were they sell you a lot of fabrics, and they help us in there to decorate our wrap. We work hard for like a week to finally finish them, they were really cute. They had a strip of baby blue in the corners and a lot of sequins all over it. We also work hard on making the dance, since it was a big deal to us and we had a lot of fun thinking of steps to put and laughing a lot. We spend our in only one part because we got distract about something or someone didn’t understand the move. Every single move we made, we make sure it went perfect and until there we could move on. Our moms were staring to get little inpatients because they had to drive us every way, but we didn’t care it was something that was very important for us. We wanted to impress everyone at school, showed that we could do very good dances.
We were getting really close to the final day; we were like a weeklong for the day to come. So we had the dance all finish but we kept practice so we could be perfectly coordinated. A day after Samantha told us that she was going on a family trip for vacations and that she wasn’t going to be in the country the day of the dance, Anna and me were in shock because we had been waiting for that activity so long and all of the sudden it was no possible anymore. She asked us not to present the dance without her, which in my opinion sounded it kind of unfair, but we steel agreed in that. We were so disappointed and Samantha was already gone, Anna and I were really sad. A day before of the show everyone asked if we were ready to dance and we really disappointed told them that we couldn’t dance because Samantha was gone and that we told her that we weren’t dancing, everyone told us that we should do it that she was on vacations and that it was unfair for us not to be able to do it. At first the both of us just said no, but then we both thought that it was not a good idea and that we work really hard to get it as greats as we had it. So we finally decided to do it. It was an experience that I will never forget all crowds looking at us, and we owned the stage. I remember looking at Anna, she had a big smile in her face and that made me ever happier than I was already. At the end everyone was cheering for us and was so proud of our work. When Samantha came back obviously she find out that we dance and she got really mad with us but we apologize and told her that we really wanted to present it. She went mad for a couple of days but then it came to her senses that we were right and she forgave us. I will never regret doing what I did because turned out to be one of those experience that I will never forget and I know Anna feels the same way.
