Hello people who read my blog!
Today I will talk about my preferred hobbie. Dancing
I started practicing dance from an early age, at 7, in a ballet workshop at school. At that time I did not have much elongation and I was not outstanding, so after two years I was bored of the workshop and I thought the teacher was too strict, so I left classes.
In 5th grade, I took modern dance curse in school, which was very demanding but not so strictest such as ballet, and although I was not the best dancer of the group I was 3 years striving there.
But it was in 2003 when I began dancing as a professional, when I entered to Valero dance studio. At first I took a few Jazz Style classes, but over the years I was getting excited more and more with dance and when I was in the 11th grade in school I had improved a lot and I was invited to be part of the Valero company, so I had to practice and rehearse almost every day.
To be a dancer you have to have:
- good elongation in your legs.
- good memory
- interpretation
- musicality
- good hips rotation
- fluid movements.
But in dance doesen't matter if you don't have the technique or skills, because dance is 99% effort and 1% talent.
I learned a lot, but the most important is that I realized that to achieve what you want, there is hard work to do and suffer if is necessary (it pained me a lot improve my elongation), I learned to be responsible, punctual and constant, because ballet teachers are very strict, I learned to respect my teachers and classmates, I made very good friends and learned to overcome the shame of ridicule.
I think all this helped me to be the person that i`m now, but specially to trust my self.
That all i hope you liked it!
Bye
