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.…

    Jazz Autobiography

    I started dancing before I can remember, but I have been told that I was just about three. I started out at a studio that I cannot remember, doing ballet and tap. Yet, because my entire class would have been so young it can hardly be considered dance, but rather a general physical activity with friends. When I was about to turn six my entire family moved, so I changed studios to the one I am at. I still only did tap and ballet for about three years, when I started to fall behind because everyone else was taking jazz and contemporary. So when I was going to be turning nine I started jazz and contemporary. They were all so different, but they all were quite similar (except for tap, that was pretty different). When I was asked which was my favorite I could not decide because I liked them all for different reasons. I liked jazz because I now…

    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. So I began taking lessons from a prestigious dancer, Paco Casino who was related to Rita Hayworth. Before I knew it, dancing was changing my life in a blink of an eye and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. As I was turning nine, my phase as a Spanish dancer soon took a shift to staring in dramatic radio shows.…

    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.…

    Because I was always one of those kids that never felt comfortable doing any sport, when I discovered that I had a talent for dancing, I was overjoyed. I started dancing during my fifth grade year of school. Immediately I became infatuated with the art. Working very hard my sixth grade year enabled me to join my academy’s dance company. One day during my musical theatre class while doing a combo something wasn’t right. My right leg had a twinging pain and when I did the big kick at the end of the combo, I knew I had pushed myself too far. What should have been the beginning of a long dance career turned into a very long year and a half search of trying to find a way to heal whatever was wrong. It was an experience that I’ll never forget.…

    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.…

    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.…
