Recommended: Indian mythology and dance

Ever since I was a child I have had a particular interest in dance. I wanted to learn Bharatanatyam, a form of Indian classical dance which involves complex movements requiring plenty of hand-eye-foot coordination and allowed me to relate to my cultural origin. At age seven, I started my amazing journey of learning this pure dance form from my teacher. The passion I had for dance was what drove me to master the techniques and complete my graduation performance known as Arangetram.
An Arangetram is a solo debut on stage that takes special one on one training prior to the event. In my case, I had a year of this special training. I had to build up the stamina to dance on stage for over one and a half hours and perfect my technique. The practices were very intense and three months prior to the event, I had to practice daily. When I started practicing daily, I also started a diet consisting of only healthy foods to help increase my stamina and be healthy. For a whole year I basically lived for this event. In the end, all my hard work paid off when the overall performance went well. Look...

    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 my Mexican culture, and boosting my confidence - all of these were areas that I had struggled with, but little by little, dance helped me accomplish such positive effects. With all the dedication I had since elementary school, I learned all the routines for our performance that would occur on December 12th.

  • 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.

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.

  • Time Travel: The Special Relativity Theory Of Space And Time

    1365 Words  | 3 Pages

    Scientists observe that time travel is a phenomenon that all of humanity experiences. To illustrate, I have moved forward from last year and so have others. Everyone travels through time at a rate of one hour per hour. The true question behind the time travel conundrum is if we can travel faster or slower than the normal rate of one per hour. One of the greatest minds of the 20th century, Albert Einstein, developed a theory to explain time. The Special Relativity theory posits that space and time are sides of the same coin: space-time. The speed limit of all things that travel through the space-time continuum is 186,000 miles per second or 300,000 kilometres per hour. Light travels at the speed limit in an empty space. The theory goes on to say that as an object travels through space-time relative to

  • Personal Narrative: Cheerleading

    Preparing for competition is easier said than done, you need a passion to complete the task. Competition is extremely stressful, but amazing at the same time. It?s a process of mixed emotions, not knowing if it?s importance will have a meaning in the end. Having practice six times a week allows us to work on our jumps, cheers, dances, tumbling, and the most difficult, stunting. Just the counts and lifting people in the air is traumatic enough, but repeating it over and over again it gets strenuous. Dancing is relaxing when you have counts to them, but when you have to learn the dance to the music people get confused and don?t know when to leave to the next formation. Team members start getting fed up with each other at the closing stages of practice, it?s just a natural human reaction after practicing with the same fifteen to twenty girls for three hours.
