Note to recorder:

Not too quickly please

My talent is dancing, specifically classical ballet. I started when I was 6 years old. I began taking classes at a local recreation center. And I found that I really enjoyed it, and so I started taking more and more classes. In high school, I was dancing sometimes 4 to 5 hours a day. On weekends, I would have rehearsals, sometimes 8 hours a day if we were preparing for a performance. I got to dance in many diff erent ballets, like Sleeping Beauty, The Nutcracker, some more classic ballets. I also got to do some contemporary and modern work with different choreographers that came in. During the summers, I traveled to different parts of the United States to take other classes. I spent one summer in Washington, D.C. and we had ballet classes with some very well-known Russian teachers. I also spent time in Pennsylvania taking classes, and we had additional flamenco classes, gymnastics and a lot of different fun things. One year I did a ballet competition called The Youth America Grand Prix. I did pretty well. In college, in university, I continue dancing and taking some classes on how to choreograph that is to make your own dances. And if I would continue with dancing or working in dance field I would enjoy choreographing and making pieces for other dancers.
