Pre-Proffesional Ballet Dancer



Yes you read right, I am a pre-professional ballet dancer. My whole life was the ballet world. Well, at least since I was five. I have danced at various companies, my favorite would have to be American Ballet Theatre, which was the best experience of my life.
Before one of the performance's I met Hugh Jackman, and I danced on the same stage as Eminem. Specifically the Detroit Opera House.
Ballet is something you don't just pick up. You learn it, and learn it for years. To become actually professional, well it takes more than five or six years. Most people think twirling around is something close to ballet, but when someone does that, well you don't want to know a dancer's thoughts. Or maybe you do. They have technique class for a reason. That's all I will say on the topic.
On a lighter note, most of the average Americans think ballet dancer's are, shall I say 'snobs'? Well for the most part, it's kind of true in most girls, but not all. I know many snobs, but I also know the sweetest, most polite, goal-oriented girls I have ever met.
I don't just take ballet, I take Pointe, Jazz, Hip Hop, Modern, Pilate's, Yoga, Character, Flamenco, and Mime. It seems like a lot, but it's not really.
Some girls are blessed with certain qualities, that makes them better dancers. Some may have great extension, others are natural turners, then theirs the dancer's like me who have naturally good feet.
Ballet is like second nature to me, but sadly the dance world is huge, with not many options. Therefore, I started getting into modeling, and after my braces are completely gone, I'm getting into acting. I love performing arts, and nothing can change that. If you love something, go for it. Don't hold back.
Be Heard, Be Strong, Be Proud.
