The air in the dance studio was thick with anticipation. Chloe’s heart pounded a rhythm against her ribs that mirrored the music that just faded. She ran the routine through her mind one last time, picturing the perfect execution of each move, the graceful lines of her body. She closed her eyes for a moment, letting the music fill her.

"This was a difficult selection process," Miss Anya stated, her voice calm but firm. Chloe steeled herself. She knew she had given her best.
