As I walked into the dance studio I realized how small I was compared to the other students in intermediate. I was shorter than the other by a lot, I felt a little awkward around the other girls. I was just glad morgan was there with me and she was short too. The teacher soon showed us our first combination, and it was pretty hard. I was a little scared. I thought to myself Why am I here? Am I ready? I was glad I wasn't the only one who moved up. If I didn't have morgan with me I would feel very

have prepared me for this moment. I have been a dancer since I was five years old. When I was in the sixth grade, I joined my studio’s performing company and the Louisiana Delta Ballet, and my passion grew. I hardly ever miss a class, even though my studio is an hour away and classes are five times a week. Even on Saturdays, I am rehearsing while all my friends are
tondus,” “Five six seven eight,” can be heard from my dance teacher on a typical Monday night in advanced ballet. I’m out of breath, nauseous and sweating up a storm, but continue to run for my water to pour the icy cold liquid down my scratchy throat after an intense ballet-conditioning class. The clock ticks and before I know it four hours of dance passes by. If I’m not at school, I can most likely be found at my dance studio, Spotlight Dance Academy. Some people assume that I have been dancing
realized that I wanted to dance more, and I wanted to dance forever, and I wanted to give ballet everything. I consider myself lucky amongst my peers: not many kids are afforded the opportunity to really and voluntarily sacrifice for the love of something as arbitrary as art. But ballet demands sacrifice, and I wouldn 't be me without it. When my father 's kidneys failed, I danced. When I felt like giving up at school, I danced. When my grandmother died, I danced. To call dance an outlet or an escape
such an eye drawing color choice different from the other dancers. They style of dance was fast-paced with quick footwork, which fit the beat of the music well.
I was six when I had my first dance recital and I was disappointed that I did not have a bigger role. To be fair, I had just started dancing but was determined to not be a little kid and dance with my friends. After my dance was over my mom came over to me and told me how proud of me she was. I was satisfied. After a time, I started losing interest in dance, it would always interfere with my after school activities, and the dances started to get harder as well. My mom, who loves the arts, convinced
have created a six word memoir that describes one of my favorite things, dance. My memoir is, “Hours of sweat, stress, and sparkles”. It describes how I feel when I am at one of my performances. I sweat because I am working hard to achieve my best. I feel stress because I need to execute the dances properly. In the memoir, I say sparkles, that represents the sequins on the costume and that I smile all throughout my several dances. To write this memoir, I reflected on numerous diverse days that I remember
In the book Dancing in the Wings, by Debbie Allen,a girl nicknamed Sassy could see dance everywhere. She always wanted to dance in the spotlight as a ballerina,but everyone said her feet were too big. She was too tall for anyone to dance with. When there was an audition for a summer dance festival in Washington D.C.she tried out for it. Unfortunately, the other girls made fun of her, and she ran into the parking lot. Her uncle Redd told her she should go to the audition and do her best. Then after
In the summer of 2012, my sister and I joined the Saltillo High dance team. For Elizabeth and I, our first pair of shoes were ballet slippers, but our fellow team members had little to no knowledge of dance. Elizabeth and I felt a strong responsibility to use our talents to transform fourteen softball players into dancers. We learned very quickly the cost of being a leader- sacrifice. Elizabeth and I found ourselves searching for ways to improve the team, choreographing routines, and privately instructing
knowing she viewed me as her role model. Like this young dancer, I have always adored dance. The first time in the studio - with leotards and tights and my slicked back bun, my tap shoes in one hand, and my ballet shoes in the other - I knew I was ready. The way each dancer leaves it all out on the stage reveals their obvious commitment to the art of dance. That first day, rather than simply walking into the studio, I ran. I found my spot in the center of the room and knew immediately that this is

it and surrounded my life with multiple dance classes and different dance teams. In fact by the age of 15 I was one two different elite competition squads, one was my studio, while the other was the varsity high school team. On top of that I was taking around three hours or dance classes each night of the week. I even thought about transferring to an Art School, where I could dance during the class day, and get credit, by learning about the different dance styles. Overall to say the least, I was
the same dance booklet everyday, practicing the five positions and gracefully positioning my tiny arms and fingers to match the little girl in the illustrations. This opened my heart to the world of dance, which made me embrace the activity at such a young and impressionable age. Because I loved dance so much, my mother enrolled me in Donna Hammond-Phelps Centre for Dance while I was in kindergarten. In the studio, I stood out and had a lot more confidence than I did outside of the studio. My passion
Over Pain Many little girls have dreams of growing up and becoming a beautiful ballerina. I was no exception to this cliché dream. As I became older, my life revolved around dance. Every waking moment I was thinking about how I could challenge myself and become a better dancer, and an even better performer. I was in the studio every single day for thirty plus hours per week, trying to perfect my technique. My dream was to become an award winning dancer. I wanted to perform on a variety of stages across
and breathing. -Depending on how many dances you are in, you spend at least 5 hours a week at the dance studio. I used to spend 41 hours a week at my past studio. Even if I would have a practice cancelled I would always practice at home because it was like a built-in routine for me. Every morning when I was getting ready I would stretch and listen to my music for all the dances I had. When competitions start, that’s when you basically give your life to dance. I remember being pulled out of school

My dance experience trails back to when I was a freshman in high school, getting involved in some classes at my local dance studio. Immediately, I fell in love with this art form and knew I wanted to carry it with me beyond high school. I began dancing as a dance major at Mesa College in Fall 2017. While I am only just beginning to delve into my second semester, I can already say that I have expanded my knowledge of dance and dance technique at Mesa. In my dance classes, I have been able to improve
