The Escapers went to Mall Artha Gading to compete in a Hip-Hop Dance Competition by B'Talent Studio.
We had been practicing to get ourselves ready for the competition. It was actually the first for all of us to be competing in a competition apart from school cups. The competition was supposed to start at 4 pm and we were told to come at 3 pm. But considering that we would be doing our make up and change clothes in the venue, we decided to come earlier. We arrived in Mall Artha Gading at around 1 o'clock. We decided to sit in a donut cafe called J.Co and we did our make up there. While we were doing our make up, my mom bought us thai ice teas. We were not feeling nervous. As the clock pointed on 3 pm, I told Ara and Karisha to re-register our names for the competition. Then, Ara and Karisha went to re-register our names. Moving on, the competition had to start late. The competition ended up starting at around 6. We were chosen to start first. As it was getting closer to our turn to dance, we all got very nervous. When we got up on stage, the feeling was overwhelming. I felt really nervous and confident at the same time. I could hear our song playing. I was thinking, "It is not the time to feel nervous, just dance and enjoy it". I was dancing with all the power I have. I poured my heart out and enjoyed every second of it. Afterwards, it was time for other dancers to compete. They were all really good and they were probably around 25. We were one of two groups who were 17 years old. Then, it was finally time to announce the winners! All the contestants went up the stage. We were super nervous! Fortunately, we won second place! It was kind of annoying since we were so close to getting first place but we were so happy that we got second place. What made it more happy was that we were able to prove ourselves that we did great. In order to sum up the day, let me tell you a little something. Based on the experience I went through, I learned a lesson that every hard works will be paid off later eventually. So, all of you beautiful people! Never give up on everything that matters to you! In my case, dancing is one of many things that matter to me. Have a good day everyone!
