Story in the Place I Feel Most at Home

It's a couple days before a big competition.  Still so much needs to be done.  The last 8 counts of our dance still are not complete.  We also need to finish cleaning up the dance and making it perfect.  Our technique and concentration needs to be on point.  What are we going to do?
We decide to have a sleepover at the studio to get extra time in over the weekend.  It's a flawless  plan.  We can dance until we get tired and get up early to dance some more.  Nothing could possibly go wrong.
As we all arrive at dance, we start stretching.  All the dancers start talking about how fun the night will be.  Our dance teacher instructs us to start dancing.  We do so.  As the night rolls on the dance starts to look great.  We don't want to overdo it though, so we call it a night at eleven.
The dance teacher finally falls asleep at about midnight.  The dancers start bringing out their junk food and begin talking laughing quietly just having a good time.  Three in the morning approached and we decided it was time to get our rest for dance in the morning.  Little did we know that our dance teacher was going to get us up at 6 in the morning for a short breakfast and then start dance  right away.
The dancers hadn't got much sleep at all.  The rehearsal that morning went absolutely terrible.  The lack of sleep and junk food kicked in.  Since the dance teacher didn't know what had went on the night before, she assumed people were just lacking concentration.  So, she kept making the dancers dance over and over again until we got it right.
With a few food and water breaks in there, it started to get late again.  We had to quit dancing and go home to get some rest before the big competition.
Morning had arrived.  The big competition was finally here.  Most of the dancers still felt pretty awful from that night.  It was their turn to dance on stage for the judges.  Would they be happy with their performance of disappointed?
They entered stage right.  The music started.  We actually started out great.  However, as the middle of the dance hit, some dancers started to get extremely tired.  They wanted to do the dance to the best of their ability, but their body just wouldn't allow them to.  The song ended.  Many of the dancers came off stage breathing heavily and were unhappy with their performance.
As usual, the dance teacher praised them on their performance shrugging off the weak points.  However, the judges didn't hold back.  Many comments were made about the laziness of the dance towards the end stating that this dance needs a lot more work.
All the dancers went hope with the look of disappointment on their faces.  They all vowed to never do that again.  They had really learned their lesson that day.
