To say that she wasn't nervous would be a lie.
Wen Xiangyang, the lead actress, was about to perform a dance that would introduce the leading man. After both actors took the stage, an explosive, fiery dance-off would follow. The distinguishing feature of this musical was the intense dance performed by the lead actors, a spectacle that would set the whole theater ablaze.
Wen Xiangyang hadn't danced in nearly a decade. Over the years, she had strictly worked backstage. But now, having been pushed to the front, her legs trembled slightly at the sight of the teeming crowd below the stage. As the music began, the stage lights dimmed except for a single spotlight that fell on her.
Wen Xiangyang knew she could only succeed and not fail today. Taking a deep breath, she tiptoed like a graceful butterfly. Closing her eyes, she began to spin and leap, singing an articulate and accent-perfect English song.
