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

sfor 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 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 | 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 tpracticing 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 | won't win and let everyone down.”

Grace smiled and gently patted her shoulder. “Vio, | can’t promise anything, but | know your Ballet Spin is top-

notch; you've been training withfrom 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.

However, she stood a real chance in classical dance, where she could shine with her Ballet Spin.

“But no pressure. | won't push you into competing if it's not in your heart,” Grace added.

Violeta stayed silent.

Both Hazel and Nydia were keen for her to participate, having looked forward to it for ages. Now that they could

not, they felt seeing Violeta compete would be somewhat consoling. “Vio, go for it,” Hazel urged.

“Yes, do it for us,” Nydia echoed, both giving Violeta hopeful looks as she pondered their words.

After a brief pause, Violeta agreed, “Alright, I'll do it. | might just be okay at dancing, but | have faith that the

routine Ms. Parker crafted could win Best Choreography, right?” Hearing this, Hazel and Nydia both beamed.

“Vio, we'll be rooting for you!”

“Yeah!”

Thus, somewhat reluctantly, Violeta consented to compete in the 14th Lotus Award for classical dance.

She had not anticipated using the dance she had prepared for an audition in the competition.

Each year, the competition venue changes, and this year it took place in Icroln.

When Irene found out that Violeta was representing the Nelson sisters, she decided to go along for support.

“Sweetie, | got your back! I'll cwith you to give you all my support.”

Violeta chuckled at Irene’s enthusiasm. “Mom, this is a competition, not a concert. It’s odd for you to cand

cheer like that.”

Irene responded, “Why not? When are you leaving? I'll get your bags packed and ask around. | might even know

one of the judges.”

After making scalls, it turned out Irene did know one of the judges at this year’s Lotus Award.

Using her connections, she managed to get a seat in the audience, and the next day, she accompanied Violeta

to Icroln with her luggage in tow. Only Anton and Niall remained at home.

Anton initially wanted to accompany them, but Irene insisted he stay and focus on his work.

Meanwhile, as Violeta was

competing in Icroln, Zelena had located the casting director for the Spring Isn't Blooming production Since Hattie

had previously taken on a role meant for Zelena, it was now her turn to reach out to the director.

After sdiscussions, she convinced the casting director.

He assured Zelena that if everything went well, he would put in a good word for her with the main director during

their visit to Toland University for actor selections.

“The director initially wanted someone skilled in ballet. If you can’t do that, he might not consider you.”

Zelena was not proficient in ballet, but she was decent at modern dance, though she was not professionally

trained.

Hattie suggested, “You could always use a stand-in later. I'm sure you'll figure something out, Chandler. Lena is a

good friend of mine, so please try to find a workaround.”

With Hannah backing her up, the casting director agreed to look for a way to accommodate them.

“Alright, given my ties to your mother and your decent qualifications, head hand await further updates. Oh,

and by the way, our director has a penchant for collecting wine.”

The hint was clear.

Zelena understood immediately and responded with a smile, “Got it.”

As the dinner party wound down, Hattie folded her arms and told Zelena, “Don’t say | never helped you. Pick up

a fine bottle of wine and

invite the director to another meal.

With that, you're pretty much set.”

Zelena smiled. “Hattie, | knew you'd look out for me!”
