My first dance competition-turned-demo ... and Mint's dance debut!

Hi. Cinnamon here!

Yesterday I performed my dance routine in front of an audience in a competition-turned-demonstration. Mint also danced for the first time in the busking competition after dance demonstrations.

The event was originally planned as a competition. But, unfortunately there weren't enough entries to make a competition, so I did my routine as a demonstration. Actually it was good that the event became a demonstration, as my Mum and I could thoroughly enjoy dancing without feeling too nervous. As you can see in the video, I didn't do as well as I did when I practised just over a week ago. Nevertheless, Mum was very happy with how I did. Yay!!

A year ago I had the first taste of dancing, when I entered the One-Minute Busking competition, two days after my friend Honey the Great Dane's human told my Mum about it. At that time, I was so excited and confused in front of an audience in a new environment that I kept sniffing, jumping, and barking. Mum says that I have improved so much within the last one year, which I hope you all agree.

After dance demonstrations, there was the One-Minute Busking competition. For those who are not familiar with it, it is a competition for novice dancers where they listen to music provided by the organiser for twenty seconds and after a five-second break they dance (do tricks) to the music.

This time Mint made his dance debut in the busking competition. For Mint who had never danced to music before, it was a totally new experience. But, believe it or not, he got to get the first place and received a badge and a bag of dog food as a prize!! Of course, both our humans were thrilled about his achievement. Mum says that she wishes I kept attention on her all the time like Mint. Yeah, actually I have to admit that he did much much better than I did in my first busking. He didn't sniff or bark at all.
