School Dance Show

This year, I have been taking a course at my school that allows students to choreograph and teach dances for our semester dance shows. I am in Dance 5, which is the highest level, and my friend and I choreographed a lyrical piece together to Sam Smith's "Lay Me Down". Yesterday (11/19/14) and today (11/20/14) were our performances, and I had a great time!  I was in seven dances excluding the finale, so it was a bit stressful, but nevertheless exciting. It was fun dancing our self-choreographed dances in front of an audience, and I felt proud knowing these were dances I created on my own.

Assisting Solo Choreography

These past few weeks, I've been assisting my dance teacher with choreographing a young girl's solo at my studio. Her name is Isabel and she's only about six years old, but she is really flexible and is advanced for her age! I helped Brian with some choreography and even contributed some of my own into her dance. I love helping teach her, and it's amazing so watching her improve week by week!

Assisting

This weekend (11/1-11/2), I assisted my dance teacher at dance studios in San Jose and Morgan Hill. We went to Morgan Hill on Saturday, and I helped my teacher choreograph a girl's solo. In San Jose, we were there from 11am-5am choreographing a small group and a solo. It was tiring but fun, and I am so glad I got the opportunity to help my teacher at other studios. The experience gave me a sense of responsibility, since I was being relied on from both parties. I can't wait to do it again!
