Starstruck While Competing

Oh, gosh, this really did happen! 🤗 I am still starstruck, dancing with Natasha Terekhina for the first time while competing in the Zouk16 Finals at ZoukMX 2018 – Jungle Edition😳☺️And we won 2nd place!!! 🤗😍❤️ Not only was I dancing with Natasha, we were going against Walter Fernandes, one of my idols in Zouk as well! Aah! 😬😳😅😂😍

Wow, I mean, I started Zouk many years ago watching Natasha’s video so many times. When people ask me what Zouk is, her famous demo with Gilson Damasco comes to mind first. Aaaaah, I danced with Natasha! There is no one better! 😍😍😍

My mind was in shocked when I was told she was my partner. I ask myself, “now what…” 😬 I do not know what to think. I told myself, “just don’t trip and don’t freeze!” 😅 It was difficult to do, my knees felt wobbly! 😂Throughout the competition, my mind would play tricks on me, slowing down and freezing many moments, recording the sensations I felt, her lightness, playfulness, gentleness, energy, and how balanced and strong she was in holding herself. Everything seems to be in slow motion while I was dancing yet an observer at the same time, like in a dream. It was a weird yet amazing feeling 😂☺️ Yeah, I can replay so many moments in my mind vividly from our dances ☺️

I learn so much in this competition by dancing with Natasha. I danced with the best follow anyone can ask for. The sensations and awareness I gained will only help and inspire me to become a better dancer. Thank you, Natasha, for my most memorable dances and moments ever! 💃🏼🕺🏼😍❤️

Thank you, Joe , for organizing this festival. It becomes better year after year. I am very impressed with all the activities and experiences you made available to us dancers. It’s so much fun. Looking forward to next year already!

I just didn’t want to trip myself and freeze! Next time, I’ll keep my emotions in check 😅 Dance is amazing! 💃🏼🕺🏼😍❤️
