Personal Narrative: My Love For Dance
Before I had turned four, I was dancing. I loved it from the moment I walked in for my first class at the age of three. That year I was one of the youngest girls at my dance studio. Now at the age of eleven, my love for dance continues. When I was four, I was part of my studio's recital.It was an honor for me. My other young and I friends danced to the lion sleeps tonight. Of course being four year olds, it was a lot of blindly wandering around the stage. My skill has greatly advanced from that day. Over the years I have performed jazz, ballet, tap, hip-hop,and contemporary. Between eight years and ______ costumes, my passion for dance has grown. Now in fifth grade at age eleven, I am taking four classes a week. Between 4 hours of dance, I play violin and clarinet. Right now I am taking ballet, contemporary, jazz, and hip-hop. I have been in jazz for seven years, ballet for 1, and contemporary and hip-hop for 2. My dance studio has two major performances. Recital, and hearts for hearts. Every year I have performed in recital, but only watched hearts for hearts. Recital is for everyone to perform and benefits our studio. Hearts for Hearts is a show my studio does in march that is only the older girls in company, and sends all the proceed to children's hospital. Every year my mom …show more content…
My main three are to be in hearts for hearts, be in company, and have pointe shoes. As I said before, I have been in hearts for hearts so that takes one thing off my list. Right when I thought it was impossible, I received amazing news. My jazz teacher, who was the studio owner, offer my jazz class a once in a lifetime opportunity. She said that she really liked this class and instead of auditioning for company we would get a spot guaranteed. She pointed out to us that with the classes we were taking, we would be in company by the fall 2017. This was one of the best moments in my life. Company is my dream and now it was coming suner than I had

    “I want to be a ballerina princess”. You see, the difference between a regular princess and a ballerina princess is the elegance. Ballerinas held an elegance and ferocity during performances that were sensational. On the other hand, Disney princesses always had their happy endings and by combining both, my goal was set. Soon enough, ballet performances and Disney movies about princesses clouded my practicality with absurd idealism.…

    Spring show is just a small showcase of all the dances we have done throughout the year and anyone was welcome to come and watch. Leading up to the show we didn't really practice much because we already knew our dances like the back of our hands so we only had practice the week of. Practice was good that week except for the last day, on the day of spring show, Kaitlyn Underwood decided not to show up to practice in the morning. Everyone was trying to call her but about halfway through practice my coach decided to just take her out of every dance and change everything. It was super stressful for all the girls on the team considering that the show was that night and we only had an hour to practice all the new changes. Everything worked out by the show and our routines actually looked pretty good considering the circumstances. I also got awarded freshman of the year because of my determination and improvement I showed throughout the season. My coach that year also quit which was probably for the best, even though she was a great person she didn't really know how to be a good coach which was…

    Jazz Autobiography

    I liked tap because you could make specific sounds and change the sounds and how the sounds could interact with the music if done right. I liked ballet because it seemed to be the basis of my childhood and it is the basis of dance. A year later my flexibility was falling short so I began to do an acro class, and because of how my schedule ended up I added a hip hop class because why not? Hip hop I liked just because it was something new. I liked finding things that were based on ballet and changed to the instructor's personality. I enjoyed acro because I was able to learn and perfect new tricks, and I could still work with other people because we did a routine. Unfortunately, that was the last year of doing a dance because people never showed up. I also was in a prepointe class, which was fun, but it was really more of just an extra ballet class, which made me happy anyways. The year after, I did not have a prepointe class, but I did have an extra harder tap class, which also made me…

    One day while I was dancing to a record in my living room, my mother’s friend who was a Spanish dancer noticed me and encouraged me to start taking dance lessons.

    When I was in second grade I learned that I loved competing with people and being good at things. I joined a gymnastics gym near my house in second grade when i was 9, and started competing when i was 10. My mom told me that I have to do well in school if I was going to be focused on a sport along with school, or she would take me out of gymnastics. Soon enough, I wasn’t doing so well in social studies and comm skills. I was scared my mom would make me quit, But I worked as hard as I could so get back up there. Focusing more on school than outside activities, I got that grade back up and I continued with my favorite sport. I love gymnastics, but I don’t let it get in the way of school because school always comes first.…

    Ever since high school, my one and only dream is to become a professional dancer. I practiced hours every day after coming home from school, and it is without a doubt my strongest passion. It was not until my senior year however, until I realized how improbable my chances were of succeeding as a dancer due to the competitive nature of it. With this in mind, I finished my academic career in high school on a strong note, which was enough to get admitted into a business college in New York City. I am now a student studying in the library by day, and a street dancer dancing in the New York City by night.…

    History of Ballet

    The first experience of watching a ballet, for me or any little girl, can be fascinating and exhilarating. Wondering how a dancer can be so steady on her toes as she spins in circles and leaps through the air. Watching a ballet, there is a feeling of wanting to be graceful, as well as the warm sensation felt by a little girl as she slips into dream land. My mom had taken me to my first ballet when I was 11 years old. When we returned home home, she signed me up for classes at the local dance center. The expectations to become a prima ballerina would involve much hard work and concentration. I knew when I started it would take years of steady practice and commitment. Learning the history of ballet and the famous dancers made me intrigued. I wanted to be like them. So I had set the goal, then I set the pace. To my misfortune I was unable to reach my goal. Gymnastics was another activity I enjoyed. I was unaware of the damage I was doing to my body until I found myself in a hospital bed being told by the doctors, no more dancing. I could no longer practice ballet, I could only watch. I have no regrets. Watching a ballet is just as much fun.…
