What a Day!

Its finally over. The Sunday I've been silently dreading, but also slightly looking forward too is over. What a day it was too!

Woke up at a dreaded 6:45am, earlier but quite a bit then any weekday! Had a quick shower (had already shaved, washed hair ect the night before :p ) and got dressed. Wore my full Dress Pants, nice long sleeve shirt and Full Diner Jacket. Basically a suit minus a tie. I like wearing nice clothes so I was happy. Waited for Kane to get ready and we were both dressed up nice and off to Clive's at 7:45.

At Clive's we transfered to Clive's car, picked up Jayde, then Serena and headed off with a full car and a ton of nerves (least i did :P ). Despite having actually got a decent night sleep the night before *shock horror!* i was almost falling asleep in the car. That didn't last long though, by the time we were 3-4mins away, i had woken myself up fully and was thinking about what i had to do.

There was not as many people there as i expected there to be. Still PLENTY though I'm telling you! We arrived at about 8:50ish and the dancing was to start at 9:30. I knew my family was coming and they arrived at around 9:50. They actually timed it pretty well. They had a chance to settle down and meet all my new friends and people i spend all my time with. They all got along awesomely which made me extremely happy. Before i knew it my first dance was up, modern waltz.

God i was nervous. Although i put my focus totally onto doing what i was taught, so much so that i didn't give conscious thought to my nerves, deep down i could feel it stirring. Me and Serena walked out on the floor and i realised there was only 1 other couple in this dance! If anything that made it harder because i knew the judges would spend a lot of time watching me. It couldn't have gone any better. I made some little mistakes, like poor footwork on some close changes, but i kept in time, i kept my Topline (i think lol!), and i remembered all the steps. I could feel shaking through the dancing i thought it was me during the dancing but afterwards i mentioned it to Serena and turned out she was shaking from nerves for me! Shes such a sweety, I'm so lucky that I've got such a talented nice person for a dance partner. If you read this Serena, thanks a million!

I walked off the floor of the waltz in a slightly euphoric state. I couldn't believe that i had pulled off the dance without one hitch, despite all the pressure. Was a major relief, and a huge confidence boost. My next dance wasn't until after a presentation ceremony for the first set of dances. So quite a while away. To my utter amazement, the presentation ceremony came for that set of dances and some how i had managed to win my dance. I couldn't believe it. First ever comp dance and i won!

Next Dance was Square Rumba. A fairly Easy dance, apart from the timing. As long as you get the timing, everything is fine. Luckily i nailed the timing perfectly and just went into autopilot. I walked away from this dance feeling confident. Next Dance was Merralyn and this wasn't for AGESSSSSSSS.

The Presentation for Rumba came up in the mean time and i somehow managed to get a win there too! At this stage i was elated. First two comp dances ever and i won. My parents were absolutely thrilled. My mum was in tears happy and my dad had the hugest smile on his face. I really happy to see them happy.

Finally, Merralyn came up. If anything this dance was the one i was the most worried about. Every part of the dance i could do pretty good EXCEPT the end transition section. When i was relaxed i do it fine, but when i get nervous i tend to stuff it up a bit. I was fine though, i managed to nail this dance just as good as the previous two. Kane had to sabotage me by taking Jadye out right in front of me, but i think i can forgive him for that :P

I managed to pull off a third for Merralyn. I was stoked with that, because i personally thought i could of done a lot better in places. But hey, two firsts and a third? All i can say is WOW! I didnt expect to get a thing. I can't believe i managed to do so well in my first ever dance comp.

To all my friends, family I love you all so much for being there to support me. I SERIOUSLY could not have done it without you all.
