Lord of the Dance (Moldavan Style)

So half way through training our cultural manager asked us if we wanted to learn some traditional dances. Most of the girls said yes, therefore most of the guys did too. We began to pratice Tuesdays and Thursdays after our training sessions. Some of us were actually pretty good at dancing. Me, I'm the kind of person who keeps a beat by claping on the ones and threes, so I wasn't very good at dancing. But I stuck with it. Eventually we learned about a five minute routine using different types of traditional Moldovan dance steps, set to the acordion. About two weeks before the swearing in cermony our cultural mangers tells us that we will be dancing in the cermony. We were shocked because we were led to believe that we were dancing for fun. Some of us refuse to do it because of stage fright. I didn't want to do it because I was one of the weaker links in the chain. They calm all our fears and won our support with a bribe: we could were the traditional costumes. We were sold. The dance was a crowd pleaser.
