July 31 was the last day of the DHDS course in Chichester, and what a bittersweet end it was. On the one hand, I'm excited to go home and show everyone what I have learned, but on the other hand, it was the most amazing week of dancing and I am sad it is over. The memories created over the past week will definitely stay with me. In the morning and afternoon we polished our presentation dances and prepared for the evening gala.
The final event was fantastic, full of fun and laughter! Anne Daye's class arrived as the British, while our class represented the French. To settle the dispute between the two countries, we had a dance off. Although we danced splendidly, the French did lose the Battle of Waterloo and consequently we admitted defeat. After that, we had some social dancing and tried to do the largest Lancer's Quadrille. It was so much fun and a great way to end the week. I am so sad to leave. I feel that I have grown as a dancer and that I have so much more to learn and explore! DHDS summer school was an incredible experience!
