History

In my first blogpost I would like to share my story, how I started dancing.

I started dancing when I was 12 years old. I already did gymnastics since I was 6, but I wanted to try something new. I started with clip dance for 1 hour a week. But shortly after that it became clear to me that one hour wasn’t enough, so the next year I danced for 2 hours a week. Since then, I really started to love dancing. I wanted to improve my dance skills so I chose to go to a different school.

I was 16 then and I did audition for the show team of my school, these dancers may participate in contests. I thought it was really exciting so I didn’t hesitate at all. And yes, I was chosen to be a part of the team!
I stayed 2 years in that team and I learned a lot. Because when you participate contests, your choreography must be flawless. Everything must be synchronic and that’s not always that simple. Sometimes there were little frustrations but we kept going and we had a lot of fun. And that’s one of the important things when you dance. Having fun, you dance for your enjoyment.

In 2013 I also participated a contest called ‘Kunstbende’ with a composed dance group. I will tell you a little bit more about that in another blog post.

But after those 2 years I needed another change. I wanted to dance on a higher level, so I did audition again for another show team in another dancing school. And again, I was allowed to be a part of the group. Actually I was part of 2 show teams, Modern and Hip hop. I had to dance 6 hours a week, and it was the best year I’ve ever had. I can’t explain how much I learned in just one single year. We earned excellent places like 1^st , 2^nd and 3th place.

Today I only dance 1 hour a week, because I don’t have the time to dance more hours. I’m really busy with school and that’s the most important thing right now. I hope I can dance more next year, but we’ll see.

In conclusion I can say that dancing has become one of the most important things in my life until now. And I hope that my passion will stay for many years to come.
