When thinking of comparing two things, I was having a hard time deciding on what I should discuss but it then dawned on me, I should write about something that was an enormous part of my life. Dance has played a huge role in my childhood as I participated in ballet for eleven years and tap for six. As a three year old all I did was beg to my parents to let me join a dance studio. I was the one and only three year old in the dance company. When my dance teacher informed me that she would soon be offering tap dance, I could not help but feel the need to participate.
For the last fifteen years of life, I have spent all my free time from family, and school focusing on one of my passion in life which is dancing. I started my first dance class at the age of three and it was a ballet class with Mrs. Helen as a teacher. I spent most of that class jumping up and down to my own beat of the songs. It must have been very nice for my parents to see me use part of my performance time during recitals looking for them in the crowd, especially after they spent hundreds of dollars on classes for me. This only lasted a few years though, because as I grew up so did my attention span and by the age of seven I really started to make dancing my main focus.
Aimy Day Modern Paper Nancy Lushington May O’Donnell Paper The May O’Donnell video showed various pieces of her company in the CBS network studio. The choreography very much correlated to the combinations our class practices every day in class. Her technique is very specific and each of her movements are very technical. The use of contraction, release and extension is prominent in her technique. In the video, the dance looked like it was very easy to execute but having already been in the technique class all year, it is amazing to know that doing the movements correctly is actually difficult.
We should educate ourselves a little about Mexican Folklore. What I’m more passionate about is dancing. Since I was a little girl I’ve been dancing in all the parties, family reunions, clubs, and about anywhere there is music. I believe rhythm is in my blood. I think everyone as a children has the dream of one day to become someone famous in life.

Ellie Grohoske Modern 4-14-13 The Pennsylvania Ballet Nutcracker This winter when I went home for break I saw the Pennsylvania Ballet perform their annual Nutcracker. It was my 5th time seeing this company performance from the audience, however I have been in over 50 performances total with this company performing various roles in The Nutcracker. I’m not sure why so many dancers hate this ballet, because it has always been my favorite ballet since I was little. It could be because it was the first ballet I ever saw before as a 3 year old, and that was what got me truly interested in dance. I can’t even count how many times I’ve seen George Balanchine’s Nutcracker, but I can tell you it will never get old, and always be a tradition that I look forward to every year during Christmas time.

When a girl turns 18 she is then considered as a woman in society. The most common traditions in most debuts are a dance called a cotillion and the presentations of 18 candles and roses which my friends took part of. I remembered when I first told my friends of my debut and how I would be honored for them to take part of it they were very hesitant. For the most part, my friends were nervous about the numerous tasks they would have to do on top with not being familiar with my culture. After all the practices, explanations, and the final dress rehearsal, my friends were finally able to have a sense of what to do.
