Ballet

My favourite type of dance is ballet. I just love being able to express my feelings at the same time as being graceful. I started ballet at the age of three and at first I hated it, I had bad feet, bad posture and I thought I couldn't be a 'pretty ballerina'. However, I persevered and after three grades, I realised that I just needed to relax, listen to the music and have fun. I became more and more fond of the dance and started making up solos and entering competitions. Lots of people think that ballet is easier than tap and jazz, since all you have to do is 'point your feet and move your arms', but there is so much more to it, you have to find your inner emotions and show it to the audience at the same time as maintaining your flawless technique. My next aim is to get onto pointe and continue with perfecting and enjoying the dance.
