In order for me to answer this question I’d have to split my answer into two categories, physically and mentally. Physically, dance has given me many wonderful things, such as plenty of cut open toes, bruised knees, sore muscles, and lastly, even one surgery! However, if you were to ask me what dance has done for me mentally, I'd simply say, "Everything." I believe that there is not a single part of me that hasn't been enhanced because of dance. Dance has a very special place in my heart, it was the first thing I fell in love with, and has brought me a lifetime of memories.
To begin with, dance has made me work harder than ever before, teaching me commitment and hard work. Dance showed me that if you love something you will work incredibly hard

However, I was not going to let it get in the way of my love for dance so I pushed myself as hard as I could in every single class, and still do to this day. For me, the real challenge came down to the dance rehearsals during my first year for one dance in particular...Red Dress. I would come home from these rehearsals in tears and I remember telling my mom that I thought I was ruining this dance despite how much effort I was putting into the rehearsals. It was because of this dance that I told my mom I wanted to quit dance. She then told Miss EV about what I had said, and I was instantly encouraged to keep dancing. I owe Miss EV for that one. Without her encouragement, I don't know if I would still be dancing today. For the rest of that year, I worked my butt off proving that I was worthy of being in the dances I was in. Still to this day, I feel that I am still trying to prove to all of my teachers that I am worthy of my positions in dance. Because of that, I will never stop putting 110% into everything I do. Furthermore, in my life, dance reinforced the importance of commitment and hard work. Dance and school are two areas of my life where I have to demonstrate
Ballet is an athletic art form that utilizes muscle control, flexibility, and physical strength. It requires extreme discipline from the dancers and takes an extreme amount of mental concentration. This discipline causes dancers to have success throughout life and specifically in academic studies. There are many ways that dance can affect the success of a person’s life; however, there are two in specific that make dancers generally more successful. To begin, ballet causes dancers to be self-motivated workers; dancers cannot rely on others to push them to be better, but must have the drive within themselves.
It was fair to me that my brother was participating on a baseball team while I've been wanting to dance for years. In order to perform, I of course needed to go to the practice. Practicing three times a week for three hours was rough for the first few weeks considering I was a beginner, but I didn't let that intimidate me and so I continued. Making new friends, learning more about Mexican culture, and boosting my confidence, all of these in my eyes were areas that I had some sort of struggled with but dance little by little, helped me accomplish such positive effects in the three.
Since the age of two, I have been dancing. I have been involved in lyrical and classical ballet, contemporary, pointe, hiphop, jazz and tap. When I turned 6 I also took up gymnastics. Through middle school I danced, and did gymanstics as well as softball and soccer. I loved these sports but when high school hit, I had to pick one and I chose cheerleading. I chose this sport because it was not only a extraordinary team athletically but they were extremely involved with the community. We had fundraisers for less fortunate children multiple times and even got to interact with them every winter. The leadership role on the cheer team taught me so much, we lead the entire student body to have school spirit and respect at the football games every friday night. My senior year I decided to switch back to dance and tried out for my high school dance team, and made it! It has been such a blessing to me by showing me even more leadership and how to serve others at our school and in the community.
The typical idea of a dancer is that they are tall, slender, full of energy, and lucky because they dance with all of the “stars”. Much of this is true, however, what many people do not think of are the many hardships that a dancer goes through in order to achieve their high status in the dance world. It takes much hard work and determination along with good direction to become a dancer. However, nothing good comes without a price. Dancers often times have many pressures put on them which can lead to physical and emotional damages. These damages occur through the pressures from the media, parents, teammates, and the stereotype that society has placed on dancers.
There are kids and students, even from a young age, who are told by their parents that they have to play a sport. These parents find it important that their kids be involved in some type of physical activity, and it is. So a little girl thinks taking a dance class would be interesting and that she would be able to please her parents by this choice of sport. But when she comes to tell them what sport she would like to take up, they tell her dance is not a sport. Even after explaining to them that if someone is good enough they can compete, which is just like any other sport, this little girl’s dream of being a competitive dancer is crushed by her parents jaded view of what is considered a sport. The word “sport” is defined in the dictionary
As a dancer myself, I can understand why people do not think dance is a sport. For my 11 years of dancing, I have been told that dancing is not a sport. I might be against this statement , but I can somewhat agree that dancing isn’t a sport. Dancing is more considered an art than a sport according to Tengaged. However, dancers are not always competing against another team, which is one reason why dance not considered a sport. Debate.org states that people do not think that there is much physical activity required to dance. Lastly, dancers are not scored by how many points or goals they make, but by a panel of judges.
Gymnastics is the physical activity that create and show quality, parity, and nimbleness performed on or with specific device. Cheerleading is one who drives the cheering of observers, as at a games challenge. On the off chance that you haven't saw yet, the definitions are totally distinctive. Gymnastics is the superior sport to cheerleading, which is not in any case considered a sport. Gymnastics is an overall better, including cost and the numerous advantages aerobatic offers.
Cheerleading is a sport, but some people might think otherwise. Cheerleading is a squad of people who come together and do stunts, tumbling, and dancing in a routine, and for sideline they will do cheers and chants too. Cheerleading is considered a sport, cause of athleticism, competition, and time and dedication going into the sport.Anyone who does, or has done cheer will say it is a sport.
Imagine screaming fans in one large arena with an ESPN camera with a huge trophy at stake. No, it is not the FIFA world cup: it is the Cheerleading Worlds championship. Many don’t know the two different types of cheerleading. One type is called sideline cheerleading. This is when guys and girls are cheering for there college or high school team. They will be on the side of the field cheering on their team and cheering up the people who are watching the game and the students. Sideline cheering is mostly for football and basketball games. Sideline cheerleading does pretty much everything like competitive cheerleading, which is stunting, tumbling, dance, and jumps but they just don’t compete against anyone. Another form of cheerleading is competitive. This is where All-Star gyms compete against each other with a 2.5-minute routine. In these routines, the cheerleaders do intense tricks and stunting including tumbling, jumps, tosses and dancing. Whichever team in the division has the highest score wins the competition. This athletic display is often seen on FOX and ESPEN are proof that the standards of cheerleading have changed.
It will allow me to be a manager and better my leadership skills. I will learn how to manage a big group of people, which is something that can be applied to many various careers. I will learn the best way to be a teacher and to stay calm and focused when things get difficult or crazy. All of these skills are not only applicable to the dance world, but to life in general.
There is something beautiful about dance, but there is something more beautiful about dancing with others. When a group of 13 girls and 1 boy can come together from 14 different ways of life and move together as one, then a dance team become more than just a dance team. This was not something that happened over night, it took time, effort and about 7 conversations with our coaches about our values. Without all of those components this team would have never became the successful, fighting, dream team that we became.

... emotionally or physically. Dance is a great way to express yourself when you are happy sad, excited, gloomy, or just to make yourself better. Dance did not start very clean or good, it had a mix of everything and it always will. So people who perform it make the best out of it and it becomes their passion. Always makes the best out of worst by dancing yourself in and out of it.
