Can Dance Fitness Classes Help Pageant Contestants Improve Their Overall Stage Presence and Confidence?
Pageant contests require more than just beauty and poise; they demand confidence, personality, and stage presence. While traditional training methods focus on speech, poise, and beauty routines, an often overlooked aspect of preparation is physical fitness. Dance fitness classes, with their combination of physical activity and artistic expression, offer pageant contestants a unique opportunity to enhance their overall stage presence and boost their self-confidence.

My last post made me want to spin the ballet au to suit the general cast, keeping Es as the protagonist 🩰
I don't have art for this one but I still got a bit carried away with the details LOL This definitely leans more into a sweet fix-it :3
The story would open with Es waking up in the medical room of Milgram Dance Academy, a very small and isolated school. Es is told they suffered a bad head injury during a performance, resulting in amnesia. Their instructor (Jackalope. Make this work however you wish.) tells them not to worry about it, and to focus on their dancing for now. Es feels a pressing responsibility to stay and rehearse, so they agree.
Jackalope tells them they must understudy several roles while recovering, not ready to jump into things right away. They're grateful, since they're struggling with their identity and expression without their memories.
The first student they are directed to is a shy and lanky dancer by the name of Haruka. They study under him as the role of a graceful, melancholic swan. They watch the choreography in general, and it looks nice enough. Es proceeds to spend several rehearsals with him, talking and bonding and learning he has a bit more going on than meets the eye. They try to offer help as he admits to familial issues, self esteem questions, and comments about sibling jealousy. In turn, he teaches Es to mimic some of his powerful emotions. At the end of their time together, they both perform for their class in full costume and staging. Now, Es understands each move with a deeper understanding than their initial look at the steps.
Next, they’re sent to meet the bubbly girl playing Juliet and begin the process anew. This continues to make a total of ten roles. Some of the dancers take the sessions kindly, while others are brash, secretive, or just confusing.
After rehearsing with Kotoko and learning to understand her determination and confidence, Es is sent back to Haruka, who has moved onto a new show and new role. They’re shocked to discover that their words to each dancer – always well-intentioned – had caused some issues backstage. Now, there are rivalries and changes in stage presence. While experiencing stress (that Es has inadvertently caused,) some were distracted in rehearsal and got injured. Es must take on the interpersonal issues as well as the choreography challenges.
I don’t have all the roles down and was trying to stick to well-known shows anyway, but I think I’d want Muu to be the Sugar Plum Fairy, Kazui to be Albrecht from Giselle, and Amane to be Clara. I wanted to keep them traditionally gendered to prove there are plenty of roles for men, but I can’t help but have Odette/Odile thoughts for T1 Mikoto ;-;
Like the other post, I'm equally tempted to have the dancers performing ballet adaptations of the mvs 👀 I want to see. Bee tutu. Doctor coat costume. Marching band tutu. AKAA mismatched look. The backgrounds. The music. The choreo. So many cool possibilities...
As a sweet au, it all ends with everyone better for having met one another. Es is cast in a solo performance, combining everything they've learned both emotionally and technically from the others. They feel satisfied with their sense of identity, and shine onstage ✨️✨️✨️

posting here so I don't fucking lose it at the people in the replies and qrts who are acting like a large percentage of women who don't wear makeup are misogynistic about it. Personally I have never met anyone like that in real life however I have been told to wear makeup in a college class!!

Guys, guess what I got in the mail yesterday!
I finally got my hands on Cats Warsaw CD album!!! I got really lucky and not only it didn't cost me an arm and a leg, but it's also in great condition. The case got a few little scratches and plastic is a little dull (which, it's 20 years old so makes sense) but the CD itself is literally like new!!! No scratches no nothing!!!! I have no idea if it actually works cuz I have nothing to play it on, but like kinda whatever, I'm just really really happy to have it
I already knew what the booklet looked like cuz it is on the internet, but I love that I can actually hold it and get close to the photos and stuff. Already lead me to jump from "I think it's him" to "I'm pretty sure it's him" with one of the actors in one photo XD
