The Best I Can Be

When I was young, all I wanted was to become a prima ballerina, as did all the other little girls who took ballet class. I thought it was pretty, but I really had no idea how wonderful it really is to be a dancer. Of course I enjoyed dancing around when I was kid... but really performing in front of groups of pepole is by far the most wonderful thing ever. To have people applaud you is so wonderful, on top of the huge amount of compliments you get after the show, not only from your parents but from complete strangers.

But there is more to dance than performing. There are many, many hours of training required. Ever since I was young, this dance school has persisted on making me the best I can be. The classes are fun but demanding and I feel like I accomplish something every time I take a class. Wether it be an increase in my extension, flexablity, adding a pirouette, getting that combination that I was having trouble with, or any number of the things I constantly work on, I ALWAYS feel that I have accomplished a lot. This is true in all of my classes. It shows too. I have reciently been accepted into a couple of great summer programs. Calfornia DanceArts is making it happen. I feel that I can accomplish my dream and that I have a good shot at becoming a professional dancer. Thank You to all the great teachers at California DanceArts. K.M. (age 15)
