Continued from last week.
Hi from Amita again.
As the audience clapped and cheered we waited for them to appear, moments later Katrina and Lizamoa stepped out, onto the stage.
When the audience saw them it became even louder. I was surprised they got such a welcome. Both girls were smiling so I knew they were pleased too.
Then I noticed what they were wearing. Of course, they both wore saris, but not the saris they had worn to the club in. These were different, a lot better quality. Lizamoa wore a blue sari trimmed with gold which sparkled in the stage lights. Katrina wore a similar one but her sari was magenta with silver trim. They looked to be almost like the traditional wedding saris which I later found out they actually were. The club manager had arranged to borrow them from a local Indian shop nearby. They certainly made the girls look so much more special.
Now the music began, traditional Indian music, usually used for this dance. They briefly smiled at each other they began their dance. I could tell that Katrina particularly was very nervous but she was brave enough to give it a go. I was pleased that she did.
