McCallum’s perspective The drive to the school was quite smooth; the weather was nice, and there were no traffic. As I approached the school, I began to recognize a few of my colleagues’ cars. After having parked my car, as I got out, I noticed Miss Grainger, from the corner of my eye, waving at me. I waived back, and quickly joined her. She greeted me enthusiastically, and led me to the dance. Just as I expected it, the dance floor was hot and crowded. As I walked through the crowd, I had a feeling that many pairs of eyes were starring in my direction, which made me feel uncomfortable. Later on, I gained more confidence as I got more into the dancing. I still found it quite awkward being surrounded by a group of young girls. I tried not to pay attention to them, and have a great time. Everything went fine; I was actually enjoying myself…until the slow dance. “…Let’s slow down the tempo a bit.” With that being announced by the DJ, Liam, the lights dimmed out. Anna suddenly threw herself at me, wrapped her arms around my neck. I tried to be polite and went with the flow. Things were getting worst when she got too close to me, to the point where she was rubbing her body against mines. I started feeling really uncomfortable, and decided that I’ve had enough of this. I swiftly pulled away from her, and headed towards Miss Grainger. We then had a little discussion: “Does Anna always get this wild when it comes to dances?”
“Just who does she thinks she is, launching herself at me like that?!”
“I always knew that my good looks (so said by many) can cause problems, but I’ve never expected it to go as far as attracting my own young students to whom I had no interest in.”
“Imagine how my girlfriend will react if she hears about this.” Many thoughts were going through my mind. I was overwhelmed with disappointment, anxiety, and fatigue. At this point in

    “Where were you, too busy flirting with Sophie to hang with us?” Max called over the yelling of the boys by the oak trees. I just waved the question as I was too busy pumping up my confidence and adrenaline, to go up to the Sixth Formers to get some tickets for Sophie. With shaking hands, I waded through the crowd of my classmates who were all hollering at what was probably…

    Amber was finally graduating high school. She could not wait for it to come any faster. I told her that she needed to slow down and not grow up so fast, but here she was graduating high school. Amber graduated with honors and in the top ten. I was so glad that she followed in her mother’s footsteps. Accepted to Juilliard for dance, Amber left that following August. I cried the whole time I watched that plane leave. New York was a long way from home.…

    Juliet Perspective

    Only a few hours after the awkward conversation with mother, I was already to leave the house. I can’t really explain the feeling I had one the way to the party because it was a mixture of emotions, such as nervous to dance with strangers (especially Paris), scared that I will embarrass myself in front of everyone with my horrible dance moves and on a positive note, excited, after all this is my first time attending such a big party. When I entered the venue which was so beautifully set up, I immediately started to greet everyone, one of them including Paris. It was a very difficult to start a conversation and it involved many silent pauses. If it wasn’t for the entertainers to start singing slower songs for us to dance together with, I don’t think I could have carried on any further. Anyway, after a shaky start, we got on quite well once we began dancing.…

    When I turned three, my mom signed me up for my first ballet class, and I loved it. Moving along to the music brought me joy and fulfillment. My liking for it has gradually grown into a passion. But over the years, I have also noticed a stigma for extreme competitiveness and perfectionism. Something that originally began as a form of worship has transformed into a celebration of the superficial and frivolous. Dancing often creates many concerns for young performers.…

    Mean Girls

    The film that I chose to write about is a Paramount Pictures presentation titled Mean Girls, starring Lindsay Lohan and also featuring a handful of Saturday Night Live cast members, including Tina Fey the author of this picture. The reason behind choosing this film is because it has a unique style of introducing characters, transitioning between scenes, and various tools to help spice up the film. Being one of my personal favorites, Mean Girls is a comedy about a home schooled teenage girl who enters high school for the first time. She tries to figure herself out by where she can fit in and who she needs to become friends with.…

    Every suggested tempo was tried. Every dynamic was attempted. I tried so hard I thought I would explode but, even with this effort I made plenty of mistakes. Each lesson I was given another “friendly critique”, feeling me with dread. It had never been as hard to please Rachel as it had been to please Mrs. Zhang. It was a constant struggle for me to stay eager to learn in her lessons. I had confronted my parents on my struggle only to be given uncaring remarks and a sarcastic “sorry” from my mother. For the first time ever, music was something I was not looking forward to…

Every fay it is the same struggle wake up in the morning go through my schedule on that day I felt as though all everything I had to do became apparent to me and I was forced to carry it on that moment I felt 1,000 pounds heavier.

At that moment, dance seemed like a dream.…

    In that heart-freezing, gut-wrenching moment, all eyes were on me. I whirled madly in my seat, scanning the entire audience. The bright room silhouetted the soft but unmistakable shadow of a woman. But there was no one there, of course. There couldn’t have been – yet I definitely did not feel alone.…
