By Ruby & Parker
After the Ballroom Dance show on Friday the 5th
of December2014, the two class journalists, Parker and Ruby, separated and went
off to all of the fifth grade classrooms, in the fifth grade classrooms were
children who demonstrated and spoke at the show. The journalists had three
questions: 1. Were you nervous to
be up there by yourself (or with a partner) and how did it feel to gat picked?
2. How long did it take you to find something to wear? And 3. What are you
favorite ballroom dances?
The first person interviewed was Ella from class 302: “I was
definitely nervous to speak because I usually don’t speak in front of people,
and because of that I don’t get picked for special things like that, so it felt
really great! To get dressed it took me about 15 minuets. And my favorite dance
is definitely the Merengue.”
The next person interviewed was Marianna. “I felt a little
nervous when dancing but then I was okay, and I was totally embarrassed because
there was a lot of people right there. It took me a while, like four days to
find the perfect outfit. My favorite dance is probably the swing.”
After a few more interviews, we came across two negative
reviews. First there was Emmanuel. “ I am very shy so it felt terrible because
I extremely dislike speaking in front of crowds. I hate it so much that I let
someone else read my story. It took me 10 seconds because I did not care what I
was wearing. I do not have a favorite dance but if I were to pick I would pick
the "Swango" (swing/tango).
The next negative interview was Luca. “Honestly, I did not
care and it took me two minutes to get dressed. And my favorite dance is the
salsa.”
One of the last interviews was for a pair of demonstrators,
Alma and Sligo they demonstrated the Fox Trot. This is what Alma had to say: “I
was kind of nervous and my stomach was swirling in circles. I felt overjoyed to
perform. It took me fifteen minutes and thirty-seven seconds to get dressed.
And my favorite dance is the Merengue.“ And now on to Sligo. “It was nice to
dance again. I was slightly nervous. It took me five minuets and tem seconds to
get dressed. And my favorite dance s also the Merengue.”
The last interview was another pair of demonstrators Zoe and
Jack. This is what Zoe had to say. “ I was surprised and proud at the same
time. I was nervous because I spin to fast. It took me ten minuets to find
something to wear. I favorite dance is The Swing.” And now on to Jack: “when I
got picked I felt happy and nervous and I don’t know how to explain it. It also
took me ten minutes. And my favorite dance is the ‘Salsa’ (swing\ salsa).” Anyway, as you see there were two
perspectives about this dance, some felt so HAPPY!! And some just didn’t care.
