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.
