My favorite class at school was dance class. It was a new experience for me. At first I didn’t think I’d like it but I decided to give it a chance.

To begin with it was    35    to have to hold with a boy and dance. The steps were okay and the music was okay but boys were not really okay. The teacher was nice and funny and she got us used to working together as a    36   . Then it wasn’t so strange working with a partner any more.

 As the lessons    37   and I learned new dances like waltz(华尔兹) I really began to enjoy myself. Even being with partners wasn’t bad. In fact I started enjoying dancing with partners who tried hard and know our steps. Some of the boys thought it was a    38   . And they didn’t take it seriously. I hated dancing with them but I politely took my turn with them anyway.

To be a proper lady was another thing I learned while I was dancing. I never thought much about it before but the teacher expected me to    39   like a lady which meant I had to accept dance partners politely    40   I didn’t like them. Just like life you sometimes have to do things you don’t want to the teacher    41   . Yet that didn’t mean I didn’t enjoy dancing with a boy who had the proper height and good steps to be a great partner.

As the classes neared their end I was happy to hear I’d been    42    as a finalist. That meant I and my partner Todd would be representing my school and going dancing at a competition.

The competition was like    43   out of a storybook. Everyone was smiling wearing great clothes and hair was done nicely. It was hard not to be    44   but it was hard not to feel special too. Todd and I along with my teammates    45   our way through the competition. It was hard and all the other dancers were so good!

It was sad not to win the competition but a third place finish was    46   . Maybe next year our dancers would come in first place. I was proud I learned a lot. I just know I loved to dance especially the waltz.
