In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the finals for Show Your Dance.”
The finals were still conducted in a livestream format.
Dance enthusiasts on the internet had been eagerly waiting in the chat. room. As soon as the show started, the barrage of comments became lively.
[I’ve waited a week, and finally, the finals are here! By the way, the theme for this final is ‘red. I’m more interested in Ashley’s performance. I wonder if there will be any surprises this time.]
[I’m looking forward to Jessica. She posted several photos of her hard training on Twitter. I feel like she has a good chance of winning this time.]
[Did you guys notice? Jessica and Megan are following each other on Twitter.]
[Everyone! Shocking news! I’ve got a big piece of gossip! Do you know the relationship between Ashley and Jessica?]
[Huh? What relationship could they have?]
[I have a friend who knows some secrets about the wealthy families. He said Ashley and Jessica are sisters! Ashley is the real daughter brought back by the Ramos family three years ago, and Jessica isn’t their biological daughter, but she grew up in the Ramos family. However, the Ramos family doesn’t like Ashley.]
[What? Why don’t they like her? What’s wrong with them?]
[Hmph, it must be because Ashley did something wrong. Otherwise, why wouldn’t the Ramos family like her?]
[Hey, I disagree with you. If someone slaps you on the street, it must be your fault, isn’t it? Otherwise, why don’t they hit someone else instead of hitting you?]
At the venue, after giving the opening remarks, the host conducted random interviews with the five judges to hype up the atmosphere.

Megan was a master of modern dance, with many years of experience and high prestige in the industry. She had quite a few legendary and inspirational stories.
After a brief interview, the host curiously asked, “I heard recently that you want to take on a female student as your last student, but despite several attempts, that girl has refused. Is it true?”
Megan smiled slightly, “Yes, I have a candidate in mind who excels in all aspects, and I wanted to take her as my only student, personally instructing her in dance. Unfortunately, I haven’t succeeded yet.”
The host was astonished. “You offered to instruct her personally, yet she rejected you multiple times?”
Megan didn’t find it difficult to admit, and she gracefully smiled, “Although she has rejected me several times, I really want to take her as my student. So, I won’t easily give up.”
At this moment, the surprise of the netizens matched that of the host.
[What? Ms. Rice asked that girl to be her student, and she rejected Ms. Rice multiple times?]
[I’m so curious! Does anyone know who it is? Who does Ms. Rice want to take as her student?]
[No wonder! Ms. Rice was supposed to participate only in the finals, but she also came in the last round. She said she found a talented girl, and this girl might be the one Ms. Rice wants to take as her student!]
[Oh, right! I suddenly thought of it! Could it be Jessica? Jessica and Ms. Rice are following each other on Twitter!]
[Wow! Now that you mention it, it’s highly possible!]
After the host finished hyping up the crowd, the finals officially began.
After the elimination rounds, there were a total of eight contestants in the finals. The order of performance on stage was based on the reverse ranking from the elimination rounds. For example, Ashley was the first in the elimination rounds, so she would be the last to perform in the finals.
The first three contestants on stage had average performances. One contestant, due to nervousness, almost stumbled midway through the performance, leaving the audience feeling disheartened.

The fourth contestant showcased exceptional skills, delivering a spectacular performance that energized the atmosphere.
The livestream viewers also showered her with praise.
Ashley, who was waiting backstage, observed everyone’s performances.
As the fourth contestant received feedback from the judges, it was soon the turn of the fifth contestant. However, this contestant was too nervous and almost tripped on her own dress before even stepping onto the stage.
Quick on her feet, Ashley reached out and steadied her.
The relieved contestant patted her chest. “Thank you so much! Otherwise, I would have fallen right here.”
Falling before even starting the performance would not be a good situation for a dancer.
Ashley smiled, “You’re welcome.”
The contestant, with a sweet appearance and delicate skin, smiled back, revealing two adorable dimples. “I’m Miranda Longman. It’ll be my turn.
soon. I’m so nervous.
After Miranda told Ashley her name, Ashley also introduced herself, “I’m Ashley Ramos.”
Miranda grinned, showing her adorable dimples. “I know you. You’re an amazing dancer. I could tell that from the last round. You deserved to win the first place in the elimination round!”
Miranda admired those who were good at dancing, and she genuinely acknowledged Ashley’s first-place achievement in the elimination round.
The host on stage began announcing and inviting Miranda to perform.
Taking a deep breath to calm her nerves, Miranda playfully winked at Ashley and mouthed. I’m going on stage! See you!”
Ashley nodded with a gentle smile. “Go for it.”
Miranda had good dancing skills, but her nervousness caused a minor mistake in the middle of the performance.
Fortunately, Miranda quickly adjusted and the rest of the performance went smoothly.
After coming down from the stage, Miranda ran to Ashley egretfully pouting. “Ah, I was still too nervous. But finally, it’s over Whatever the result will be, I already did my best. I can finally relax now!”
Ashley could sense that Miranda had eased up a lot.

Miranda’s eyes sparkled, and she asked expectantly, “Can I call you Ashley?”
Ashley slightly raised an eyebrow. “Of course.”
Miranda cheered. “Great! You can call me Miranda. That’s what my family and friends call me. Oh, by the way, when you go on stage later, don’t be nervous. Stay calm, okay? Don’t be as nervous as I did. I always mess up when I feel anxious.”
Ashley found it quite amusing.
Despite making a mistake in her own performance, Miranda wasn’t overly upset. Instead, she enthusiastically advised Ashley not to be nervous. Ashley could tell that Miranda was kind and easy-going.
The two chatted for a while, and then it was the turn of the seventh contestant, Jessica, to go on stage.
As Jessica stepped onto the stage, Miranda couldn’t help but whisper a quick complaint in Ashley’s ear, “I don’t like Jessica very much. She seems. very arrogant, like a proud rooster with a haughty attitude.”
Hearing this metaphor, Ashley couldn’t help but chuckle.
