Due to the fact that I stayed on my December break for an extra week, I missed some Kahaani rehearsals. The show was 2 weeks after the December break only leaving me 1 week to catch up on everything that I had missed in order to be able to perform in the final performance having knowing the dance. In order to get to this stage, I had to show serious commitment and perseverance (LO4) once I was back so that I was caught up. I showed this through asking for the videos of our practices (Linked) and what I have missed from the girls and being able to practice at home so that I was prepared for practicing with the rest of the group.
My main motivation for being able to do this was the fact that I really love dancing as well as the idea that if I didn’t know the dance in time for the show I either wouldn’t be able to perform or would look stupid on the stage next to people that do know it. I was lucky to have my close friends in the dance who were present at rehearsals and who helped me to fill in any of the gaps that i missed. It took my collaboration with them to get me to a point where I felt confident at rehearsals as well as in the dance itself in the short time leading up to the performance. My absence from school also meant that I had missed class time which I needed to catch up on too so it was originally hard to juggle the Kahaani practice timings and my school work that I needed to catch up on. Kahaani was something that I enjoyed so i was able to treat it as a get away from work.
