On late Friday afternoon it was time. I was perfectly prepared, a little tense but in a good mood. When I entered the stage I was fully concentrated and then I danced my "Steps to Eternity". As two minutes later my father took to receive me behind the stage, I could no longer feel the ground beneath my feet. There were moments of tension for me, but also the most beautiful feelings of happiness. I was satisfied. My mother and my brother came to the dressing room to congratulate me. They have watched my tap dance from the stands. In these moments, I was not thinking about competitors, but was just still happy to have danced with passion.
