Step 1: My passion

I loved to dance since I was a little girl. I started at the age of three. My parents included me in a beginners course and I immediately fell in love with it. Passion has never left me since. I won many dancing competitions, and I was able to get into the world's best school of classical dance. Today, after having spent many years in prestigious ballet companies, I decided to get a new challenge: be part of a big Broadway show.

Step 2: The Casting

Today's the casting. I have no idea what it will be about, as the producers want to keep the secret, only people who succeed the cast will get to know the actual play. It's exciting! Together with some 30 other candidates, we have to wait in a room. The casting will be done by groups of ten. I brought my lucky charm outfit, let's hope that it will bear fruit! I can't tell if I danced good or bad. I leave my CV to the casting director, he puts it on a pile with 50 others and smiles at me. "We'll call you"... Thank you I know what that means.

Step 3: Surprise!!

Three days have passed since my audition. I am alone at home, a Saturday night, eating a Takeaway while watching a "Doll wants a Man" episode. Pathetic you say? Surely. I get depressed. I so wanted this job! Even for a small backgrund role, at least it would have added a line to my CV. The phone rings. I answer the mouth full of chips. "Hello? - Hello, is this Miss zooey? - Yes this is her, i mean that's me. - Hello, Miss, I'm Olivia Desmoulin, I am casting director. I attended your audition a few days ago and I wanted to tell you that we have a place for you in our new production if you're still interested." I swallow my chips and hold myself back from jumping to the ceiling. If I'm still interested? Of course! I try to keep cool and accept the offer. Yeah!!!

Step 4: Rehearsal

First day of rehearsals. I go to the theatre with public transport. If there is one thing I never missed during my inactivity, it's to take the subway. I arrive at the theater where will be held the show, and where we have the rehearsals. No! It's impossible... The Swan Lake? They will do a musical on the theme of the Swan Lake? It must be my experience of classical dance which has convinced them to take me. We have a meeting with the other dancers, most had a classical education, like me. I skim through the libretto, it is actually the Swan Lake but in a revised and corrected version, the end is very different from the original. Then we try on the costumes. Nothing extraordinary, I'll have a beautiful White Swan tutu.

Step 5: The big première

Tonight is the première. After several weeks of rehearsal: the moment of truth. I'm with the other dancers and the members of the troupe. Our locker rooms are separated from those of the stars of the show. We have barely seen them during rehearsals and in a few minutes we will all be together on stage in front of five hundred people. I have never been as nervous in my whole life. I go down the stairs of the lodges and make my way through the backstage with all the technicians and the costumes. In a moment I will make my entrance. With the other dancers, we hold hands while the producer gives us a PEP talk. Us!

Step 6: Intermission

The first scenes are passed, it is now the intermission. Siegfried found Odette, the beautiful Princess turned into a Swan by a terrible curse, and is in her her human form only after dark. I am one of the companions of the White Swan. All the fears I had before stepping on stage have soared in the first Pas de Deux. And yet with live Swans who are with us on stage, it was a bit of the magic recipe for the insured disaster. I'm backstage with the other dancers. The Director just congratulated us for this first part, the first public reactions are very positive, he is delighted - and so am I. Because a happy audience means the show will go on, and with it will also my contract! On to the second act!

Step 7: Black Swan

It is soon the end of the show. Ellie injured her ankle after a poor reception so I'll replace her at the Pied Levé among the Black Swans that accompany Odile. This is a passage that I haven't rehearsed much but my partners guide me enough so that the public will not notice my lack of experience. As the character of Rothbart has been deleted from the piece, the great villain of our show is only Odile, Odette's look-alike. The production was smart to choose twins for these two female main roles. In this scene Siegfried admits his love by mistake to Odile, taking her for Odette, causing the death of the latter. He then confronts the witch, in the hope that her death will bring his sweetheart to life. It's so romantic.

Answer - Tchaikovski

Step 8: Star

All is well that ends well. I told you that they had decided to change the end. Once Odile dies, the curse ends and Odette comes back to life and becomes a Princess for ever. Our heroes end the story with a beautiful Duet, expressing their love. Curtain. We look at each other, all smiling. On the other side, the audience applauds so hard that the ground almost shakes. The curtain opens again so that we can greet, there's even a standing ovation. The flowers are raining down on the stage. I am glad that my first experience is so successful!
