Rehearsal Havoc!
If you know nothing about baila songs let me tell you this: the task of choreographing a dance to such a song is IMMENSE! The whole concept is to allow the music to guide you, allowing you to move freely but we tried that on our first rehearsal and...it didn't turn out to be very successful. Most of us were unsure of what to do so felt uncomfortable improvising dance steps onstage. Our dress rehearsal was nowhere near impressive simply because the majority of the dancers did not have the confidence they needed to move freely.

After realising how much trouble we were in if we didn't improve drastically we decided to call in some professional help. So one of the dancers called in two of her dad's friends who were much more experienced than we are and they were placed in charge of redrafting our dance steps: and they did an EXCELLENT job! We preplanned all our steps, giving ourselves more confidence as a result, so we were able to perform better on the actual day.
It's all over..phew!
The Sri Lankan performance had to go on stage first which was quite nerve wracking, especially with the girls worrying about the possibility of their saris falling off while they're dancing! Miraculously, we were disaster-free on that final performance resulting in a successful, hilarious and enjoyable start for the show.
