My Life in Dancing

My life in dancing

My name is JJ and I'm 10 years old and I do street dancing. My life in dancing is just like my sister Ashley's. Working hard, concentrating on dances. Doing everything I can to be the best. It's amazing. So i'm going to go through my life as a dancer, starting from the baby class, when I was 4.

Baby Class

I can still remember how ecstatic I was when I was taken to my first dance lesson. My mum always told me I was a better dancer than walker. I never believed her. I still don't. 

My dance teacher was called Katie. She was nice. My first ever dance I learned was a dance called Beat It. I danced to the Michael Jackson song Beat It. My first dance mate was Harry. He was hilarious then. He still acts like a raving lunatic set loose. 

My first ever freestyle move I learned was the Criss-Cross. It was easy. There are other freestyle moves, but they were all too hard, apart from the Wave. Not in literally the wave. I mean when you get your arms, and do a sea wave from side to side. It's easy when you get the hang of it. 

Older class/

I finished baby class when I was 7. That's when I came into the bigger class with a lot more harder dances. The first older dance I learnt was Now You're Gone. It wasn't easy, but it wasn't hard. It was just up to my standard. 

My mum was the first one to persuade me to step up to a harder level. I did it too make everyone proud, and to prove to my brother, that I can do harder things for my age. He told me I would never be a good dancer. But now he even admit I'm a really good dancer.

I still don't think I am. I think I need to step up to the mark. To make myself a better dancer, and to come up to the next level. My ambition is to be a dancer. To go to college and university, to study Drama and anything associated with it. Apart from Singing!

Now

The hardest dance I have ever learnt is the OMEGA dance. With different moves throughout the whole dance. Doing moves I have never done before. It is difficult. We had to go over our the moves many many times, just to get it perfect. Then we had to do it at least 3 times with the music, which changes every 2 minutes. It gets confusing at first, but I got the hang of it in the end. 

I love doing my dancing. My teacher I had since baby class has resigned. I've got two dance teachers called, Naomi and Rachael. Sometimes they make me teach a dance. 

So that is my life as a dancer. I can do all sorts of dances or freestyle moves such as, The Helicopter, The Worm, The Head spin (I've still got to get the hang of that) and the Side Headstand.
