Dance Goals

I have danced for 7 years before I decided to focus on my grades. I then started to stretch and get more flexible. I now have accomplished a lot more and set flexibility goals. I can do a needle now and am working on more.

Stuy Dance

I got into Stuy, but dance is really not an option there. I guess school escape time is not an option. I'm going to miss dancing at school and meeting cool people that way. I wonder if there will be any groups at all at my new school where i can dance. I hope that in some way i can keep dancing.

I really think it's cool how dance started out as only being skinny, white girls doing ballet and then broadening to becoming more diverse. There are now asian ballerinas and now a black prima ballerina. I think its really inspiring. Dance is a matter of patience and learning. I think it is incredible that people can be naturals.

I think it is amazing how Misty Copeland overcame her barriers and became a principle ballerina in a dance company. She is now famous and everyone respects and loves her. She felt bad about herself after she realized that she was the only black person, but she picked herself up and rose above. She is so inspirational because any black girl that dreams of being a professional dancer, but didn't believe in herself before now has a role model to look up to. This event changed the whole black community and now more black dancers can believe in themselves. She is incredible and someone to respect.

Dance

I have no idea how I survived fifth grade with four different dance classes?! Just the thought of it makes my head spin. BTW I found this really cool video online and it is really cool what practice can do. I don't always like dance, but I'm really glad that I never quit. The team skills and Discipline that it taught me will and have helped me in many aspects of my life. Keep on dancing and beleive in yourself!!!!! :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8n6yji9ZOY

OMG! i had a dance class on Wednesday and  my back hurts so bad. What is life? Anyway, i got my flexibility back from constant practice and that is proof that practice makes "perfect." Dance is amazing and i love it so much. To all the dancers out there, keep up the good work and practice!!!! I have attached a video that amazes me. I know most or all of you guys have seen it, but oh well. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWZGAExj-es

This is one of my dances when I was nine. I found this when looking on youtube and couldn't believe how weird the dance was.  I watched and saw how much I grew as a Dancer. This is when I did jazz at Brooklyn Dance Project. I am the one with the pink shirt.
