Emma is a dedicated and determined sixteen year old girl who loves to dance her heart out for anyone. She had dreams of being the 'next big thing' in the dance industry of preferably ballet world since a very young age and believed that one day she would make it and become incredibly famous and well known in many countries around the entire world. Since a young age her dad left her so a father figure is missing in her life as left her single mum to look after her. Her mum doesn’t show any support to Emma as she feels that she is not good enough to make it and should just concentrate on her education in which she is then guaranteed a successful future. Her admired dancers, from Billy Eliot to, Lydia Lopokova and aspired to be just like them in a couple of year’s time which the legacy which built themselves around. Emma practiced every night after school until she had self confidence in herself to show that she was a good dancer. Despite being told by many of her closest friends and family members that she could not dance, and had two left feet, she then pushed herself to do the best that she could possibly do. Emma would not let them put her down and lower her self-esteem and courageous attitude, even though what her friends and family were saying was true. Instead she decided to take it as a negative criticism and push herself to continue as she could not face a life where she was not famous. This dedication that first started off as self belief, developed into an obsession with dance in general. She believed that she could dance to any genre of music as she is quite flexible and versatile to all types of genre’s if she put her mind and her heart to it, and so she practiced long and hard. Emma started to watch constant dance programs copying important moves she could show off to people.
Since her new and current obsession, she tended to be alone and wanted her own company, as she believed that she should commit her time to dancing until she eventually became famous. She did not want any distractions whatsoever. She was striding down the corridor one day, dancing along to the most famous opera song that she was listening to, when her attention was drawn to a poster that said, “Do you have an ambition to become a famous dancer held right here in the school? If so, then this is your once in a lifetime opportunity. Head over to the main hall next week at 1pm when we will be holding our auditions for the dance academy club. The winner will be awarded a special prize in which they will be able to audition for a famous celebrity judge! Make sure you do not miss out on this wonderful opportunity. And remember it’s once in a lifetime, so head on over!” Emma's face lit up with joy, she was so excited that she was literally jumping up and down. Could she, Emma Nestlington, become the winner of this “once in a lifetime opportunity”? What if the celebrity judge was someone who would introduce her to her idols in the ballet industry and get signed to their theatre? She had to prepare. Ever since a young age, Emma had just dreamt of standing on a stage and performing in front of millions of people and this could be her big chance.
Her mum is constantly worried sick about her in where she may be coming home late missing dinner etc.
For the next couple of days, Emma concentrated on practicing for the massive audition. She only turned her phone on for when she wanted to listen to music, the rest of the time it was off, or either on silent so she could not hear it or see it. Instead, she put on the television, and switched through the various music channels. She imitated their dance moves with her own little flava getting it as accurately possible, paying close attention to every detail. She even sometimes tried to copy the dance moves. Maybe this would perfect her routine, and give her an easy one-way ticket to auditioning for that special celebrity judge. Then all of a sudden Emma gave a massive grin, as she heard the routine that she was going to perform for her audition. This could perfect her chance of winning.
It was eventually the audition day that Emma had longed for, for days. She had to get it right. She was outside the stage curtains fiddling with her fingers, and tapping her foot anxiously, when her name got called out. Emma perked up with courage, and marched with confidence onto the stage. She looked at the three school judges and waited for their command to start dancing. When it was given, she started getting into her routine, and dancing her heart out. Expecting an outburst of laughter like she usually got from her friends and family, she heard a massive round of applause in which the judges told her they have got links to companies in America which would be delighted to see Emma sign to their label.
By the age of 21 Emma made it with flying colours earning a salary of over a million pounds a year and is still and upcoming rookie in the dance industry with still a lot to learn and is constantly improving while dancing.
