My Matchmaking Experience( it didnt end well)
It so happened that I was contracted sometime ago to instruct a group of dancers and choreograph a dance routine for a show with them. I was very elated and excited at this new project. As a dance instructor / choreographer, every contract is exciting because they all entail different things and something new, and this one did. On an agreed date, I came to the studio where I would coach and instruct this group of dancers so we could meet and get acquainted. Immediately we got acquainted, I felt an instant connection with this group of dancers which happens a lot. We were all excited.
The group was made up of six dancers, three girls and three boys, and I was going to coach them on 3 different dance types; Salsa,Contemporary, and hip hop. We chose to meet on tuesdays and sunday nights because freelance dancers, get up to three different contracts at a go and they have days of rehearsals too, so we met on Tuesdays and sunday nights and rehearse till dawn.
The Next week, we started, I as the instructor, was the first to arrive, and I waited for about twelve minutes before the next person arrived.
Her name was Abigail but she said “call me Aby, everyone does” so I did. She was friendly and smart.
The next person to arrive was Gbemi, she was rude but her dancing made up for her shortcomings in politeness and courtesy.
The next person to arrive was Daniel, he said “call me Danny, that’s what ma mum calls me” and I did, he was creative and intelligent.
The next person was Michael, now he was the person that caught my attention. Maybe because he was aloof but polite, or because he was dashing and dangerously handsome and didn’t seem to know it. Or maybe because as a dancer,he was very unique.
The last two people to arrive were Valentina and Antonio, they were mexican best friends who were contracted specifically for the show and they became my dearest friends even after they left.
As the night progressed, we all got to know each other better and we became a family at least for the time being.
Now let me bring something to your notice readers,
(I) Valentina speaks no english neither does Antonio and I was the only one who could interact with them because I speak spanish,though they became a bit better by the time they left.
(Ii) Valentina came with the hope of finding love in this country.
