Dancing: Why I Cannot Stop
I have been a dancer for twelve years now and I can dance for hours and hours on end and never get bored or tired. I feel like I have too much creativity inside of my head and when I see something that inspires me, I feel the need to turn it into a dance. I even started keeping a google slide show of all my dance ideas that I would love to put on the stage one day. I could be boring and describe the countless times I have gone down to my basement and stayed there all day just improvising as I heard the music, or I could tell you about my google slides. I remember one night over the summer where I was up until three in the morning just writing down choreography, picking out songs, and looking at costumes. I had been laying in my bed when the thought hit me; I should write down what I envision so that I never forget. I started typing away on my laptop and before I knew it, it was almost three am and I needed to go to bed. The reason I started recording what I saw in my head was because I would sit in the car on long journeys and have my headphones in my ears, constantly making up choreography. It eventually got to a point where I would see (in my head) the same choreography to a certain part of a song every time it came on. I felt that if I didnt write it down, I would lose it forever. I even started to do the steps I saw in my head while I would dance in my basement. I am extremely grateful to have this creative way of thinking and this drive to dance because without it, I would not be where I am today and I wouldnt be very good at what I love to do. All of my practicing has finally payed off and I get to do my first solo this spring. Having all of these ideas in my head already, I suggested a few things to my teacher and I may get to make one of these dreams come to life. It's very exciting and I cannot wait to see where this new found hobby of mine takes me in my future.
