I have wanted to be a UDA camp instructor ever since my first camp. I attented a home poms camp, it was my first year on a team and I had nervous excitement bubbling in my stomach. I have been dancing since I was seven, of course I had taken many classes and camps before my sophmore year of high school, but someting told me this was going to be unlike anything I had expirienced. It was three long days of hard work and sweat and I loved every minute. I knew I wanted to work in the dance world when I was older, and as soon as we started I knew instructing camps like these was what I wanted to do. Teaching fun and exciting new routines to energetic and ambitous dancers is a dream expirience. I love dancing and working hard. Summer dance camps

I remember constantly hearing different forms of the question; “Is it like dance moms?”, or “Is your teacher like Abby Lee?”. Of course I shot it down because I always thought that the show was a bad thing...partially because my mom never wanted me to watch it. But, now that I am looking at it in a different light, they are similar in some perspective.…

    For the last two years, I have contributed to my Advanced Women’s Show Choir’s success as a performer and as a dance captain. My talent as a dancer and my ability to quickly learn choreography led to my selection as dance captain.

    British Dance: Influential Black Dancers Made an Impact on Britain “Like Britain itself, British dance has been informed by different waves of immigration”, says dance history professor Ramsay Burt (Roy). Ballet “took root” through a determined Polish woman, Marie Rambert, and Irishwoman, Ninette de Valois (Roy). Modern dance was arranged by exiles form Germany in the 1930s and visitors from America in the 1950s and 1960s (Roy).

    My annual hectic competitive dance showcase started this year as it always has, as a charged and passionate kickoff. That morning, I had been woken abruptly from my peacefully sound sleep by my deafening alarm clock. An obnoxious cry playing a song from the ‘Pitch Perfect’ soundtrack continued to sound until I was alert enough to lurch over and smash the stop button. I immediately made my bed and hopped into my warm-up outfit for the day. My mom had already been awake for some time and we we’re en route to the Milton Performing Arts Center, skipping my breakfast altogether, as this day had always rendered my appetite mute.…

However, the demon known as old age slowly crept into my life and took from me many of the abilities that I used to take for granted.
