My first day ath the dance academy (Anny Duran)

MY FIRST DAY AT THE DANCE ACADEMY


2 years ago I started my dance classes. I was excited,  by the illusion that the day will come to learn to dance tango was getting closer. I was determined to do it at any way, so looked for a dance academy.



I remember going with my best friend and convinced her to take the classes with me. The first day of classes, we were told to do a placement test. I laughed and said “as well if I was dancing”... and my teacher responded ... “if you want to learn to dance tango, you should first take bolero, fox, salsa and some porro classes”
When my teacher named joint porro classes I wanted to go,  because I did not like that kind of music, but my friend advised me to stay and see what it was and us enjoying the test,  so we had to start from scratch. We stayed in  there for two hours.

After an hour I started to feel anxious, afraid, my hands were sweating,  just thinking I had to enter that room to make me dance test.  That absurd! Despite that I decided to stay until the end. It was the worst decision ... when I approached my turn, my legs started shaking, my hands were sweating too, I was super stressed.
When I get half the room my teacher realized the test.  I was very scared. Although laughed at me, and he was considered and proposed me dance a salsa song for me to relax,  then made a change the music and evaluated me. Fortunately he did so otherwise,  I would have been frustrated and not enjoying the dance would be my passion as I do now.
