drawing.”
“I like that answer, Blu. It’s like you’re telling a story. My next question is; how long have you been dancing?”
I laughed a little before I answered. “My mom said I’ve been dancing since my feet hit the floor. I have videos to prove it. I started dance class when I got into kindergarten. Since then I knew this is what I wanted to do, dancing is important to me; without it I don’t know who I am.”
“I like you a lot, Blu. Now, I’m hoping your dancing matches your personality. What theme did you pick today?” She looked at me with a straight face and crossed her arms. I was jumping for joy inside.
“I have pick the pussycat doll theme. Sexy but classy, here is a CD of there music.” I handed over the CD and she put it into the CD player.
“Its Blu’s time to show me what you got.” She took a sip out of a water bottle that was sitting on the table.
I ran back and got every body into format and I was in the lead; I started counting. James hit play on the CD played and the song Buttons came on by the pussycat dolls.
I'm telling you loosen up my buttons baby (Uh huh)
But you keep fronting (Uh)
Saying what you going do to me (Uh huh)
But I ain't seen nothing (Uh)
I'm telling you loosen up my buttons baby (Uh huh)
But you keep fronting (Uh)

Typical
Hardly the type I fall for
I like when the physical
Don't leave me asking for more
I'm a sexy mama (mama)
Who knows just how to get what I wanna (wanna)
What I want to do is spring this on you (on you)
Back up all of the things that I told you (told you)
We all got into sync with each other and started moving, I felt the energy in my body pick up as I was dancing. I took moves from their music videos and added my own and it was hot. By the time the song finished I was feeling good. Bella was clapping and so was James, they both had big smiles on their faces and I still have one more dance to go.
The song when I grow up started to play, we all started to get hype and the energy in the room was great there was no way I wasn’t getting this.
Boys call you sexy (What's up, sexy)
And you don't care what they say
See, every time you turn around
They scream your name
Now I've got a confession
When I was young I wanted attention
And I promised myself that I'd do anything
Anything at all for them to notice me
Once again we killed it and I couldn’t have been happier with the way things were turning out. If I didn’t get this, I would be crushed. I wished Skie was here to see me in this moment. I couldn’t wait to see her tonight. Ms. Johnson was writing some notes down on the paper and my crew went to the locker rooms to change and get ready to leave. I was about to do the same thing, but James stopped me.
Bella stood up and walked over to me, she gave me a warm smile and handed me a piece of paper and walked out the room. I watched as James followed, I looked at the paper in my hand I was scared to open it. I couldn’t take it anymore, I flipped open the paper and tears came rolling down my eyes
Blu,
What a lovely performance you put on, I would love to offer you a full time position at my company. James will get into contact with you when you start. You are a beautiful person and a fantastic dancer with great energy. See you soon and congratulations!
