Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism
Chapter 192 Front Walkovers

A newbie definitely wouldn't be able to do it. And it was not just newbie, even seasoned dancers need constant practice, or they might lose their touch and fail to perform the move. Vivian could do it before, but over the years, she got older and didn't feel like putting in the hard work to practice anymore. So, she can't pull off this move anymore.

It was uncertain whether Grace could still do it either.

Grace was also very surprised when she heard Violeta's words. "Vio, you don't have to push yourself."

Violeta wasn't trying to show off. Since she had spoken up, she was sure she could pull it off.

"Is continuous front walkover okay?"

Vivian replied, "Sure, this aisle is spacious enough. Go ahead."

Violeta placed her belongings on the table.

The host chimed in again, "In the previous episode of our show, several dancers did this. It's not that big a deal, really...

She didn't finish her sentence.

Violeta effortlessly started a front walkover.

It was like a show-off moment for her. She moved smoothly, as if she was up in the clouds.

She easily pulled off ... ten front walkovers!

The aisle was long enough for more than ten front walkovers.

But Violeta didn't need to go overboard.

Ten front walkovers were more than enough to shut them up without seeming too over the top.

"

Brushing off the dust from her hands, Violeta straightened her clothes and glanced sideways at Vivian and the others. "What do you think?"

The host who previously said it wasn't a big deal was left speechless.

Even the hotel staff standing by were stunned. They hadn't expected her to just come up and did it like that, with such smooth movements!

Not just the outsiders, even those familiar with the move were surprised.

At first, people assumed Violeta wasn't that old, and since she wasn't famous before, they figured she hadn't been dancing since she was young. But who would've thought she could pull off ten front walkovers in one go?

Doing ten front walkovers wasn't exactly unprecedented.

But achieving ten of them in a row proves Violeta's skills. She was not the dance newbie they thought she was.

In fact, pulling off such technically demanding moves so gracefully puts her ahead of most people her age.

If she can pull off that move, then the rest should be easy peasy for her.

Pretty impressive, indeed.

Standing next to Vivian, Lucy finally gave Violeta some credit this time.

She hadn't expected Violeta to pull off ten of these hardcore, super difficult technical moves in one go. She must have had some training before. Thinking back to the last time she danced on stage, it all seemed to make sense now.

Grace was thrilled to see Violeta pull off the move so beautifully, but she was also somewhat surprised.

None of them had expected Violeta to have this skill up her sleeve.

It seemed she had put in quite a bit of effort behind the scenes. Grace felt even more satisfied with Violeta as her apprentice.

"Do any of you have anything else to say? Otherwise, Vivian, how about you come up and try ten front walkovers?"

Vivian was speechless.

As a senior, there was no way she would compete with a junior like that.

That would be lowering her status.

Vivian lowered her gaze for a moment, then suddenly smiled. "Grace, looks like your little apprentice has some serious talent. I'm genuinely happy for you to have such a gem. Just hope she won't end up outshining her master.

"Let's go."

And with that, they left.

Vivian was still a big name in the dance world. Who would've thought she had such a petty mindset?

With the tension between the two groups, Violeta could easily imagine how intense their previous clashes must have been.

"Vio, why don't you go wash your hands first? We'll be eating soon," Grace suggested.

"Sure," Violeta nodded.

She headed towards the restroom, followed by Hazel.

Turning to her friends who were with her, Grace exclaimed happily, "What do you guys think of Vio's ten front walkovers just now?"

Taylor laughed heartily. "You reminded me of your competition days up on stage. Didn't you see Vivian and her gang freeze up just now? They better not underestimate you from now on ... "

Back when Grace competed on stage, she also enjoyed showing off her skills.

Early on, many so-called "industry professionals" criticized Grace's dance for lacking soul, claiming it was like a robot showing off on stage.

On the other hand, Vivian's dance was praised as soulful, capable of touching people's hearts.

The stark contrast in their reputations showed they took different paths.

Some might nitpick Grace's dance for not being emotionally captivating, but nobody dares to criticize her skills. But how many people truly understand what it means to have a dance that moves hearts? When Grace and her team go on tour, nobody complains about the ticket price.

Those so-called "industry professionals" from back then have gradually disappeared from the scene.

"Violeta, you're amazing! Smack them in the face and show them not to underestimate you," exclaimed Hazel, as Violeta stood at the sink washing her hands.

Hazel continued to describe the expressions on Vivian's gang's faces from earlier.

"But then again, Vio, who knew you were secretly training behind the scenes?"
