Now like anything else you are only going to get better if you work on it. It is not going to be like you come to dance one day and can do 15 turns. It takes a lot of work, effort, dedication and time. I love going to dance every night but at times I just want to go home and sleep and relax. Dance is what makes me the happiest though and always will. The years that I have not had dance in my life, since for a year here and there I did not dance and during those times I can not tell you how incomplete my life felt. Those were the years of seventh and ninth grade due to a studio situation, I did not dance. Both of those years were absolutely horrible for multiple reasons. However I feel as though if dance was in my life those years, they could have maybe be better. Overall I love going to dance and during those years I had lost so much technique that I had to gain back the next year. It has been very challenging to catch up this year with all the other dancers. They improved so much while I was not there and I wanted to gain my technique back. This year I have been taking extra class to try and improve my technique more. I had been gaining my flexibility back by stretching in the summer. This work had kind of backfired since about three months ago I tore both my left and right hamstring muscles. I was so upset and mad. I wanted to improve but this injury got in the way. I realized I had to get help to heal them by getting physical therapy and resting it. During the begging of my muscle injury I did not know what to do. Later I realized this is not going to get in the way. I started working hard and other things such as ab strength, back flexibility and calf strengthening. I will never let anything get in the way of me working hard. This is not only in dance but in school as well. I really want to succeed and I believe anyone can as long as the work hard.
