Dance is one of my favorite hobbies, as I mentioned in my previous post. It is also my biggest passion besides singing and photography.

During my junior year, I joined the Dance Club in school where I learned as I grew with experience with teenagers like me that wanted to train more for dance. I've joined competitions that shaped me to be a better dancer that I am today.

Jazz is one of my favorite genres of dance, especially Contemporary Jazz. At first, I was so nervous but I didn't give up. I practiced a lot, pushed my way through, and overcame my fear of performing in front of an audience since I'm an anxious person. I love Contemporary Jazz because I get to express myself for example, while I was competing I performed a song called 'Try' by p!nk. As I danced I expressed myself with the relatable lyrics in the song and the flow of the dance. I don't really know how to explain how I felt during that competition so here's a picture of me and my partner dancing.

(Fact: We won second place in the competition! Yaaaaay!! :D)

In my point of view, the pictures above really has a lot of meaning to it. I hope you guys understand what I'm trying to say. Now besides that, I've been introduced to a lot of different genres of dance like Indian and Chinese dance. This year I got soo busy that I wasn't able to have time for myself, but it was worth it in the end.

(We also first place here! Can you see me?)

So far, I really am having the best time of my life with all of my dance mates. But it saddens me that I only have one year left before I leave my dance group and I won't be able to dance with them anymore. I shared a lot of memories and rough moments along the way with all of the girls. Hopefully, I could teach them what I've learned and helped them to be better at dance.
