Stage was well decorated with lots of flashy lights, white lights and spot lights to spot the dancers (like me) hehehehehe. I don’t remember what I was thinking staring at stage, my master came and gave me a motivational talk. He said, don’t worry dude, I will be controlling the flash lights and said, I know you’ll do your best but unfortunately if something goes wrong like if I forget the steps then just move your body and I will on the flashy lights so the audience will not notice if something is wrong. My master is so sweeeet na. I felt a bit relaxed after listening to the talk.
I was practicing dance in the background and time was passing and the function hall was getting filled with the audience and as it was filling my tension was mounting up and up. Still I managed to be cool and relaxed as I was now a bit confident on my performance as my hands and legs started synchronizing while dancing. Don’t get surprised, it automatically happens when you practice a lot. :)
Function started. Performances started one by one and my turn was heading and my tension was mounting up and up. Finally my name was announced and I just started praying and left to perform.
You know what ppl??? When I stood in front of audience on stage who were around thousand in number (approximately) my hands and legs said we are not going to move. . I was just staring at my master who was sitting in front. He just murmured those three numbers and that magical word 1, 2, 3 and start. I just closed my eyes and thought as if I was in the practice room and started ROCKING.
AND FINALLY I HAD GIVEN MY BEST AND GOT MANY COMPLIMENTS WHICH I DESERVED (HAHAHAHAHA) AND MY COUSIN WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH MY PERFORMANCE.
I was very happy at the end of the day for my performance. Even I felt proud when I watched the video of my performance, It was just mind blowing :P.
That’s how I developed interest in dance and thought of joining dance classes as soon as possible. But you know, nothing happens before the time comes. I have joined dance classes in Sang Manch Dance Academy on 18th May 2007 and started ROCKING.
Hope you enjoyed reading the short story. Please leave some comments if you feel like.

Tough time started from the day when I started practicing dance. I learnt it’s very easy to comment others, but very difficult to do the same. I appreciate my master for his patience as I feel if I was in his place I would have scolded him thousand times a day, hehehehe. There were only 3 days/nights to work for the F-Day.
On the first day of practice, I was like a dumbo jumbo moving hands/legs as if I am doing aerobics, not dance. It was very tough time when my master was telling me to move hands and legs together which was very tough. :(. I was depressed and felt nervous by my performance. You know what??? It was like ……… Arey Can’t say yaar… But it s****. On that day, I thought It really SU*** dancing.
After practicing hard, I got rhythm of dance from next day. Now I was feeling much better and started thinking its “OK” if I do in this way and was a bit satisfied and felt happy. You know what???? What was in my mind those days… Only three numbers and one word.
“1”, “2”, ”3”, “START” .. which my master used while practicing.
After lot of hard work, it’s the final day to perform. I was tensed; I went to the function hall and had a look at the stage where I am going to dance. Isn’t it too much? I was thinking, what is this? Is it “ME” or anyone else going to dance here? Ufffff, and felt nervous. I was standing in front of stage.

My cousin - Tall around 6 feets, handsome, very good at convincing people and making them do as he wants, he was very talkative, proactive and all the good-bad things(which are considered must) were his qualities. After saying "NO" for atleast hundred million times he was still bugging me for performing. He started giving me long long lectures regarding what's wrong in dancing, this that and what all non sense. Suddenly, don't know why ? my mind started thinking in his way - "Whats wrong in dancing ? after all its your cousin marriage yaar!!!". You know what - Its very tough to take decision when mind and heart thinks in two different ways. Mind saying - "Whats wrong ?" and Heart saying "Its wrong !!". So, finally - I have decided to perform !!! now don't ask me any questions regarding it as how, why and when ? because the only answer you'll get is simple "DON'T KNOW".
After making my mind I went to my cousin and said "I will dance". He was shocked, kept silent and stared at me as he was watching a ghost dancing in front of him, then I said in more firm voice - "I will dance"; He was on cloud nine and held me and started jumping. At that moment I thought "Has he gone mad or what ? He is jumping as if some great celebrity has accepted to dance in his function and felt proud for my self thinking as may be I am the celebrity - haaaaahaaaah good comedy na :P .
Next moment after accepting he took me to dance master. Tall with well maintained body or I can call him body builder, with pre-occupied mind was sitting on a chair. I looked at master and was feeling pity on him as he was the one who would bear my dance for next couple of days (juz kidding). Straight away master said in a strong voice, "COMMON LETS ROCK" and started teaching me. I still remember those three words, they just started rocking my mind.
And you know what !!!! One more strange thing, my cousin disclosed about my acceptance of dance to all and my bad time started. Everyone started to come at the place where I was practising. I felt a bit shy and uncomfortable dancing in front of them. But you know what - my mind works faster may be faster then computer (hehehehehe). I got an idea of becoming nocturnal. Straight forward I went to master and said "I will practice only in nights". He looked at me in a strange way and said "Whaaaarrrrtttttttt" in a strange voice. Making my voice more firm I said "I will practice only in nights". Staring at me master said "Okkkkkkk" in sad tone as there was no other option for him (haaaaah haaaa) :P. He was silent after telling this and started thinking - I guess he was scolding me (hehehehehe) but i don't care.
Now it's time for practice, practice and practice for the big day. It was like final exams heading towards and time passing as fast as it can. As I have given word to my cousin that I am going to give my best shot I had to work very hard as it was the first time I shook my body.

Finally Joined Dance Class to ROCK - I
On 17th January 2007, I went to SundarNagar to attend my cousin marriage which was on 23rd January 2007. As I was a bit early, my cousin asked me to perform dance on "Khaike Paan Banaras Vaale - DON" in Geet Sandhya (a function in marriage parties where dances, comic roles and many are performed). I was traumatized by this request and screamed you mean “I have to dance!” he said calm man after all I am just asking you to dance and said you are dancing – that’s it.. As if he has every right to decide what I am going to do. I was a bit nervous and thought of convincing him afterwards and kept silent.
After that scene no discussion about the dance for next two days and I was very relaxed assuming that he may have played a prank. But my assumption was incorrect; he came to me after two days and murmured something. I didn’t understand and screamed back at him WHAT? Then he shouted with lot of excitement – “Hey Dude !! I have spoke to a dance master regarding dance classes and you know what; he accepted to stay here for 4 days and teach dance to you all". Making his voice a bit low he said - "he is coming all the way from Hyderabad". Everyone around were staring at us. I said common lets go out and talk. I was a bit tensed after listening to this as I knew - my cousin will not leave me. I said thats good news in some circastic way because it was no where a good news for me. I just left that place as I was not interested in that and then after started dreaming appalling dreams like how I would be in front of hell lot of audience dancing. Then I just started saying big “NO” to my cousin when ever he asked me about it.
As most of the relatives came, days were passing very fast. I was having nice time in chit chating with my near and dear ones with one dreadful thought in mind - DANCE, but I think my cousin doesn't like seeing me happy.
