Just Dance!


It is truly surprising how people do not know about the community of dance. Dance isn't just a hobby that people do in their spare time, it is something special that brings society together. Of course, people can dance for fun. However, there is also competitive dancing for professionals that even big companies like Adidas sponsor. Dance is a way people can express their feelings through movement. Without dance, the world would be a different place.
I am a hip-hop dancer. I started dancing back in eighth grade with my friends. We all danced for fun everyday after school. Eventually, the middle school talent show came up. All of us had no experience in dancing whatsoever, but we didn't want to pass up the chance to show people our love for dance. So, my friends and I put together a dance routine and performed it in front of the school. We had the time of our lives. Teachers and students recognized our group as dancers.

I would not call myself a professional, but I can say that I have a passion for dance. I currently dance for my school dance team. I also take workshops outside of school. Most of my friends have continued on to competitive professional dance teams. As you can see, my life is surrounded by dance. 

There will always be people who try to discourage you from doing what you love to do. I encountered several of these people back in middle school. However, I didn't care about what they said and continued to dance. In fact, I embrace these people because without them, I would not have gotten this far in my dancing. I write this blog because I want to help spread dance in the community. I will post famous dancers and their choreographies. In addition, I will analyze their musicality and how they dance.

  1. I've never really thought about dancing in general. You're statement that dance is something special that brings society together is an interesting take on the world of dance. It puts dancing in a whole new light.

  2. I really like how you have such a strong passion for dance. I have two left feet so I can't really relate to this but I've always wanted to learn. Do you do other styles of dancing besides hip-hop? Are you open to learning other styles such as ballroom, salsa, etc. Do you plan on being a choreographer one day?
