Though I do believe that dancing has many qualities that would consider it an art, I still believe that there are even more qualities that should make it considered a sport.

I am a competitive dancer and I have been since I was in the 8th grade. Before I started dancing, I was shy and insecure in everything that I did. Dance changed my life. Dancing help me be the person I am today because I was forced to wear clothes I was uncomfortable with, I had to dance in from of people who were paid to be there and judge me and I had to believe in myself when no one else thought I could do it. The first year I tried out for the competitive dance team at my studio, I was one of

Well it was 2014, the beginning of June, I had just joined the competitive dance team at my studio that I had been at for 10 years. It was choreography camp, and I was super nervous. I was one of the youngest ones on the senior team and one of the oldest on the junior. I knew that if I wanted to be featured in the dance I was going to have to work especially hard at camp. So, that’s what I did, I worked my butt off and it payed off. I realized this, then it clicked in my mind that’s what I need to

I believe in dance. Making it to state in competitive dance is one of the hardest things to accomplish especially when against routines that are completely different than our routine. All types of dance are in the same category. I have worked for countless hours perfecting this routine. It will soon pay off.

Being one of the girls who was lifted in the air by the older boys and young men in the studio was a coveted role. Every girl who was of an eligible age wanted a chance to be that girl. My last year of dance, me and my best friend were both auditioning for one of the lead roles in the Grease tribute we were doing as the finale. For the month or so before the audition, I watched my best friend starve herself and exercise too much in order to lose weight

For these past two years in high school, I have been taking Cleo Mack’s dance program that is provided for us at MCVTS. Starting the program freshman year I did not know what to expect at all but I am glad my mom pushed me to come to this school. I have been dancing since I was three at a competition studio who is very strict about almost everything especially performance quality, but as I have learned from Ms. Mack it’s good to tone down the face and make your dancing more authentic and real.

father, but every time they play it, she bounces around attempting to imitate her dad’s favorite dancer. That year, the little girl registered for Irish dance. Fourteen years later, that flame that burned inside me as a little girl is still shining bright.

too. That was the day we were finally trying out for competitive dance at our dance studio, Bleker’s. Bleker’s used to do competitive dance years ago, and finally, after I had been dancing there for 9 years, they started to do comp again! Marie and I had just left her house and were walking to the tryouts. It was a really quick walk because she lives only 2 houses away from the studio.
