One significant event in my life was the first time I went to new york city. I was there for 6 weeks dancing at the Alvin Ailey Summer Intensive. My mothe rcame with me. We leased an apartment in the middle of tribecca. There was always big trash bags left on the street on certain days. Loud noise on the weekends at night because we llived above a club. The walk in morning to the subway was fairly peaceful when walking on the side streets. It was loud on the main street we crossed filled with the noise of nyc traffic. I remember seeing all ethnicities and heights and personalities and clothes, several taxis, PEOPLE EVEYWHERE!!!
Another event that was significant to my career was when me and my family went to see LIon King on Broadway. It was amazing. THe stage was full of colors and ritualistic images. It made me feel like I was in th emiddel of the jungle. Although there were people playing animals, I almost didn't even notice the people. It was so realistic. And there voices carried throughout the entire theater. I could feel there emotion in every song, and it truely inspired me to want to perform.
The third event was auditioning for the first time in Chicago for the Ailey School. It was one of the most terrifying experiences I have every had. I was only 12 however the audiotion for ranged from people my age to audults age 25. The halls were crowded with people everywhere. Stretching and practicing and tlaking and listening to music. I had my family there so I stayed close to them whenever I had the opportunity. I smelled very sweaty because people were in and out of the room dancing. They put us in groups some groups made the cut and others didn't. There were people crying because they didn't make it and others were just plan mad. SOme peopel were jumping for joys and smiles and screaming because they did make it. The entire place was full of anxiety.
