Education Narrative rough draft ideas

Learning how to dance was one of the greatest things I ever decided to do. It opened up a world of movement, excitement and happiness that I never knew was out there. It made me able to see everything I was missing in my life. I was able to make so many new friends, to get over my stage fright and just let loose! I love being able to develop my own personal style in my dance, and let people see the real me.

My decision to start dance began when I met two very important people in my life. They both were so different from eachother, yet had one common interest that linked them together. Dance. I started going to the performances and watching the dance classes, and I so badly wanted to be with those girls. To be one of them. To be able to move like that. So I finally gathered up my courage and signed up for classes.

Let me describe a bit about my dance studio. The environment is colorful and relaxed, overlooking liberty bay in Poulsbo. The people that work there and take classes there are some of the best people I've ever met. They're all so positive and encouraging, and I immediately made lifelong connections with them. They're my second family, and I wouldn't give them up for the world.

The day of my first lession finally came. The class was being taught by the two girls who'd introduced me to dance in the first place, so I felt comfortable around them. Unfortunately, I had major stage fright. I did NOT like dancing in front of the other girls, even after I learned all the basics. I wasn't comfortable, and for the most part, I was allowed to sit out when we did improvisational solo practice. For the most part.

I would not be who I am today if it weren't for those two amazing girls, who became two of my best friends later on, pushing me to always be better. They worked with me outside of the dance studio for hours on end, helping me perfect my technique and look great while dancing.With their coaching, and an insane amount of help from the other women who worked at the studio, I became who I am today. A confident dancer who can get up in front of giant crowds, smile, and dance my heart out by myself without worrying about what they may think. Learning how to dance in such a safe environment allowed me to let loose, to relax, and to have fun. And with that, I learned how to truly be myself around all people.
