The next year I decided that instead of dance I was going to do cheerleading. I was really excited since it was something new for me. I started getting close to new group of friends that were on the team and I loved it and it was so much fun. The whole time I did cheer though I thought about how much fun dance was compared to this. It seemed as though I didn’t have a get away from school like I did when I went to dance. I thought that maybe after the cheer season is over I could go take some classes at the dance studio I went to last year. This ended up not happening and the whole year was not the best. I faded away from those friends and it was just like a piece of my life was missing. I was not sure what to do since the studio I had been going to was not that good and like I said I wanted to go to the studio where most of my teachers and friends transferred to. Around April though I had an idea! (Read my next blog to see what my idea was.)

I decided that I really need to have dance in my life again. I found this new dance studio that was super small. I started taking classes there in the summer. I loved these classes so much and I was working so hard in them. I decide to do competition team with them that year. At first I loved my dances but them I realized the choreography was not that great at all. I had a solo but the teacher did not really help me on how to make the solo better and give me good corrections. I was on a team with three older girls and they usually did not include me in the fun things they did outside of class. I wanted to be back with my old friends but I tried my hardest not to think about that situation. We went to competitions and did horrible at every single one. I was happy to be in a place where I felt so welcome but at the same time I was not happy about it. Hmmm, I was not sure what to do. 

After leaving Creative Dance Center which was my old dance studio I knew I still wanted to do dance really badly still since it was my passion. I had heard about this dance studio called studio bleu and it was so popular and I really wanted to go there. My mom set up a meeting with the studio owner and I was nervous at first but when I got there everything seemed amazing. The studio owner seemed so nice and I was so excited to start dancing there. The one thing was that competition season ws coming up so it was the middle of the year which almost like school it is so hard to catch up. I was so nervous for my first class there. I I took three classes that night and it was so scary since everyone was so talented and had their own friends. I came home in tears I did not know what to do. I decided to not do competition team and do only a solo and technique classes the rest of the year till the start of the next year. Later things started to get worse in classes I was left out I had no friends and did not know any of the teachers. I was trying so hard to fit in. I then started to only take solo practice. I missed my old dance studio so much. I was lost.
