Volume 1 Chapter 136 Monsterous Dancers (2/2)

”What do you mean by 'if'? Don't you want to become a professional dancer?” Alice wondered loudly. She thought since she is working so hard and talented as well, it will be a waste if she didn't pursue the said career.

Han Luo replied eagerly, ”Of course I do! I'm just saying because we don't know what the future holds for us.” She didn't mention that one day she might have to take over the Han Corporation.

Alice didn't probe any further. She said, ”The rules for the semi-final had been changed. The new director decided that only the top ten participants from the previous round would go to the semi-final, while it would be top five from semi-final's to reach finals. You are now fifth in rankings. So, you have to work hard and think smartly before you plan your next step.”

After deliberating a moment, she continued, ”The best part in the semifinal is, you won't be dancing a solo. It's going to be grand, along with the side dancers. Therefore, you will have at least ten dancers to perform with you which can be considered as a plus point. Everything will depend on the overall performance. As such, you need to choose something majestic that will catch everyone's attention.”

'I'm sure that other choreographers are also conveying the same to their participants,' Han Luo thought. She decided, ”It will be grand if we get the proper costume and good dancers. I need fourteen dancers.”

”That can be arranged.” Alice agreed readily. ”So, what's your plan for the semifinal?” she probed further.

Han Luo smirked to herself.

One the day of the semifinal, the participants were nervous while preparing for the said battle. Han Luo, Jared, and Zenna were in the same room and a few makeup artists are working on them to complete their final look for the day.

During the last ten days, they didn't have enough time to talk to each other except when they ate. They had been practicing continuously day and night. Since Han Luo and Jared were practicing the ballet, they practiced till their shoes were broken and they continuously changed into new shoes. Both of them were wearing their fifth pair of ballet shoes today. Other dancers started calling them monsters for 'killing' poor shoes mercilessly over the week.

As they were getting ready to perform, Han Luo tried to crack a joke to ease the tense and nervous feelings. ”If I pass the semifinal, I'm going to sleep for two days and eat macaroons.”

Jared added, ”If I pass, I'm going to watch movies on Netflix.”

”I think I will visit the Louvre Museum and the Palace of Versailles,” Zenna said.
