Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 295 Alright, I'll Do It

Violeta would likely go for classical rather than modern dance if she decided to enter the competition.

The Lotus Award was pretty specific, offering three prizes-gold, silver, and bronze-in each dance style and the same for choreography.

Therefore, Hazel's suggestion might be seen differently by others.

And Violeta? She was pretty much the heir to Grace's forte in Ballet Spin.

"Let Vio go for classical dance; that way, she won't clash with Lucy in modern dance," someone suggests.

Violeta worried. "But there are so many talented classical dancers. You think I can handle it?"

Grace gave her a reassuring look and said, "The Lotus Award holds as much prestige here as the Plum Blossom Award does in theatre or the Golden Rooster and Hundred Blossom Awards in film. Even if you don't win, just competing is a way to grow."

Hazel chimed in, "Vio, you should definitely try."

Nydia added, "Indeed, you've spent so much time practicing your dance, initially just for auditions. Missing out on this Lotus Award would be a disappointment for us. Seeing you participate would really make up for it."

Violeta was nervous. "I'm scared I won't win and let everyone down."

Grace smiled and gently patted her shoulder. "Vio, I can't promise anything, but I know your Ballet Spin is top-notch; you've been training with me from the start. I've seen your progress."

Throwing Violeta into a modern dance face-off with Lucy would be like throwing a duck into a dance-off.
