CAUSE+AND+EFFECT+2

Cause and Effect Today was the day of my big dance performance! I had been practicing for weeks and I had the whole dance memorized. When I got to the performance hall, I put on my new shoes and hat. I checked my reflection in the mirror. “I look good!” I thought with a grin. It was almost my turn to perform, so I peeked out from behind the curtain. There were so many people in the audience! I began to feel a little nervous. But then I saw my parents smiling in the front row. “I can do this!” I thought to myself. When the curtain opened and the music started, I felt my confidence grow as I remembered all the steps I had practiced. First, I heard the beat get fast, so I did a quick spin and tipped my hat. When the beat slowed down, I did a shuffle and twist. I was almost finished dancing, when suddenly, I saw that there was a loose board at the front of the stage. But it was too late, I tripped over it and almost fell off stage! I caught myself just in time and jumped back- ward, pretending like it was just part of my dance. The music ended and I bowed. Every- one in the audience jumped to their feet and clapped. My parents were cheering loud- est of all. I was so happy that I did a little jig and smiled before walking off stage. After the performance was over, my coach gave me a pat on the back and said, “Nice job, Marcus!” My parents were so proud of me, they brought me to get ice cream!
