I plaster a smile on my face and step onto the stage. My hobby is dancing. I learn bharatanatyam and western dance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I grimace at how messy the step turned out to be. Your steps have to be precise while dancing. I scooped down and my leg followed. I groaned and start the frustrating process again. I scooped down and thrust my leg forward.”Phew! I finally got the step right!” I cheered and felt victory because I had to do two things at the same time. I was so happy when I achieved the step. On the next step I faced a similar problem.I started my jet\u00e9 and sailed magnificently through the air. On my landing though, I crumpled to the floor. \u201c You can do this,\u201d I whispered to myself. After a lot of practice, I finally got the step. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I practice the jump over and over again until it gets engraved into my brain. Dancing is a lot about repeated and dedicated practice. You need to remember all the steps. I started dancing a beat too early. Then I started a beat too late.Frustrated, I threw my hands in the air. I was so annoyed at how my timing was off. I finally realized what time to do it and I was so relieved. Once I had the last step down. I knew I was ready for the competition. Before the competition, I practiced the dance multiple times so I wouldn\u2019t forget it. \u201c I can’t forget the steps,\u201d I told myself. On stage, I never forgot a step. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I run off the stage happy that the dance is over. Dancing is a type of hard work, because you need to have precise steps and you need to remember the steps.Even though it’s frustrating, I still enjoy dancing. I’ve always been lucky to have great teachers who guide me throughout the world of dance. Sunanda Aunty<\/a> and Ms. Rojas have been the best teachers anyone could ask for.I hope my passion for dance keeps growing over the years.
