#2 What are you passionate about?

I am very passionate about dance. It is life. I can’t imagine not dancing at any point. I get very tired of it at times but it still rules my life. I am always at class or rehearsal. In highschool I never really had the opportunity to do things that other kids my age were doing because I was dance. But I didn’t seem to mind. Dance is an activity truly have to love in order to continue to do it. It is not easy by any means. Many time I come home with bruises and aches and pulled muscles and sprangs, but because of my passion to do it it doesn’t phase me. I love dance so much because I am able to express myself. I don’t like to speak in public so it is an easy way for me to communicate. Its not always aggression like some sports its not always pretty like ice skating. It varies based upon the techinique the style the mood the piece the choreographer the music. All these elements come into play. I also love it because it is a fun and exciting way to exercise. I can’t stand going to the gym. It is boring and I lose focus and interest quickly. I am passionate about dance because it is something everyone can do. You might be a great dancer but it is accessible to everyone. In my future hope I can bring dance to places that wouldn’t ordinarily be exposed such as inner city communities that don’t have the funds a nd means. In highschool I worked at an inner city school and it was a positive activity for the children to do. It was an outletfor them the same way it is an outlet for me. In dance class I am able to leave everything at the door and focus on myself my body just me and no one else. I can let loose and be me I can be someone I am not. It doesn’t matter in dance. The body doesn’t lie. It tells everything. I can’t think of another activity that allows a person to move so freely and without care. I feel privileged to be able to such an art form.
