What I possess is not just an interest or a talent; it is a passion. Dance is my passion. It is what I do when I need an escape from reality as it relieves all the negative energy I have building up inside of me. When I can't find the words, dancing is my way of self expression. When I'm lost, dancing is how I find myself again. My heart always has and always will belong to this beautiful, inspiring art. Since just after I learned to walk I was ready to learn to dance. I did just that. When I was two years old, the youngest age accepted to take classes, I began attending them. I truly loved it. Even when I wasn't at class I was dancing around the house. I loved the feeling it gave me. When I was five years old I had to halt my dance journey. It was hard on me, but my family had a lot going on at the time and could not fit classes into the mess. I remember during that time I felt like a part of me was uncertain or missing completely. …show more content…

I had missed dancing so much and I began classes again. It was hard for me to find my place because it had been a while since I danced. I feared I had lost the talent I had once held even though the passion was still there. It took me a while but I eventually realized that for a dancer to be great it doesn't take great technique but it takes endless passion. That realization is what helped me become the dancer I am today. No matter what happens or how discouraged I get with gaining skill knowledge, I will never lose my passion. That is how I know that dance will always be my heart and soul. It brings me to another

  • Graduation Speech : High School Dance Team

    1586 Words  | 4 Pages

    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.

    I have been a dancer since the age of 3. My earliest memory of dance was when I was too terrified to go on stage during a recital and I refused to go on no matter how much they tried to push me. Up until the age of about 12, dance had been just a hobby or an extracurricular activity. In fact, I didn’t even enjoy going to dance. I didn’t have friends there and I wasn’t that good of a dancer. It wasn’t until I participated in Dance Bermuda’s summer dance intensive in collaboration with the American Ballet Theatre in 2012, that I realized that I had a passion for dance. At the program, I was exposed to other dancers that were my age and older and most of them were much more advanced than I. So to avoid being the worst dancer in the program, I took to YouTube and watched hours and hours of dance videos. I researched all the ways to improve my ballet technique. I can remember trying to practice my pirouettes in the kitchen and falling onto the table and knocking a whole bunch of things over. I was determined to be as good as the other girls in the program. By the end of the two weeks I was fired up, motivated, and ready to get back to class after the summer.

    I admire Kim Minsoo most for his passion. He has loved to dance ever since he could stand on his two legs. His singular passion for dance alone fuels him to practice like a “dancing machine”, as I would call him whenever he injures himself by overworking. The same passion that provides his dancing the perfect sense of balance between technical skills and raw emotions—the artistry that I have learned through watching him dance, makes his dancing superior. I might be somewhat biased in my view of his dancing, but I find that others could not agree more. The passion Minsoo, possesses, inspire me for I lack passion. By passion, I mean a purpose in life that I can claim as my happiness. I like many things, but never love something so much I would rather not exist without. For once in my indecisive life, I would like to be a hundred percent confident of myself and find my own sense of purpose. Thinking back, I have recalled myself telling Minsoo of this thought only to be laughed at, but he has simply put his words as “Doesn’t wanting a sense of purpose a sort of passion?” With that in mind, I set my mind to find my...

    As a child I always wanted to be in the spotlight. I was always the ham in family pictures, the one who had to excel past my brother, and be in the know of everything. When I was about twelve years old, I realized that entertaining people was what I was all about. Since I wasn’t any good at telling the jokes around the campfire or singing acappella, I thought about trying my dance skills. I liked dancing and I have always enjoyed music videos like Janet Jackson’s “Miss you much”, so I thought why not? What did I have to lose? With the support of my parents, particularly my mom, I went for the gusto.
