Hade en uppgift i skolan på engelskan där man skulle berätta om "something that means a lot to you". Utan att tänka så mycket poppade dans upp automatiskt i mitt huvud och idag var det min tur att hålla presentation. Delar med mig om vad jag sa tänkte jag:

 

 

 

- This means a lot to me because it makes me happy

 

- This means a lot to me because I can express myself through it

 

- This means a lot to me because all my worries disappear as soon as I get the chance to do this

 

- And this means a lot to me because it keeps my heart warm

 

- Dance means a lot to me.

 

 

I started dancing when I was 6 years old and I still remember the first time I entered the dance studio to attend my first jazz class ever, and after that I was hooked. I knew this would be something that I would hold on to for a long time. But I would never have guessed that it would take me as far as it has and these past three years I have spent literally almost all my spare time in the dance studio. Around 12-15 hours per week. I just can’t get enough of it.

 

People always ask me if I want to be a dancer, or actually a lot of people assume that I want to be a dancer. But I’ve got no good answer. I dance because I think it’s the best thing that exist in this whole world, I dance this much because just like I said before I just can’t get enough of it.

 

When I was 9 I tried out for a dance ensemble where I got a small part to play the main character as a child that may not sound so much to you but for me that was the greatest and most extraordinary thing that had ever happened to me. And I would never ever in my whole entire life have guessed that I, now, 8 years later would get the opportunity to dance the leading role, the main character in that same type of show. As most of you may know the premiere of Snow White was this past Saturday and now I’ve got 2 more performances to do this week. And I couldn’t be more excited.

 

My main style in dance is definitely jazz, but I also really enjoy doing modern and ballet. Those are the three styles I practice regularly, that I would never think of quitting. I also used to dance different street and hiphop styles, but sadly I don’t have the time for it now because of all my other dance activities, not to mention school.

 

Something amazing with dance is that it really doesn’t matter how old you are or how new you are to it, I believe everyone can enjoy dance either by watching it or creating those memories by dancing yourself.

 

If you didn’t realize it before, I am sure you know now why I just can’t get enough of it.
