I have competitively danced ballet folkloric since the age of 7. My mother danced when she was younger, and was always extremely passionate about sharing her knowledge of the different dances for each state. It soon became my passion and I have been dancing since then.
I am currently the folklorico president for my high school’s ballet folklorico, and a teacher to intermediate students. I also belong to an outside group where we have won first place in several competitions, even at a San Diego competition that awarded us 1,500 dollars for first place.
I have experience in several central regions and my participation in folklorico even persuaded me to continue on to take AP Spanish Literature to learn more about the culture. I even got the

    Danielle Copeland: Magic World Of Ballet

    Misty Danielle Copeland was born on September 10, 1982 in Kansas City, Missouri. Even though she was born in Kansas City, she was raised in San Pedro, California.

    Lauren Anderson Research Paper

    The short interview with Lauren Anderson is so inspiring that gives me an insight into passion and success as well as motivates me to persist in following my dream. Anderson’s story of her career as a principal ballerina seems quite simple and typical as she started early at seven, soon became a principal dancer of Houston Ballet, and then now is giving back to the society by teaching ballet to children of “underserved” community. However, I believe behind that story are all strenuous efforts and untiring perseverance along with her outstanding talent that kept her lifelong dream alive and made it come true. I can feel in her a great passion for the ballet career in every word she said and every story she told. Because ballet is hard and highly…

    Why Is Dance Important To Me

    Apart from the physical technique, dance has developed my identity and given me some useful skills. It has given me independence and self discipline. Dance teachers can give corrections to one student and the entire class is expected to apply the instruction. This gives dancers like myself the self control and self discipline to correct themselves when they falter, to admit their faults, and to take correction without insult. It also gave me the ability to sew and use my resources.…

    Dance In The Romantic Era

    Introduction Between 1830 and 1850 classical dance has evolved significantly from its early years in French aristocratic court life, but no other period in its history created such monumental change as the Romantic Era. Despite the brevity of this period, it created radical change and helped form ballet into what it is today. Its impact can be seen in simple changes to costuming and theatrical innovations, which made a significant and substantial impression on how the public perceived dance. These technological advances revolutionised the theatre going experience. Iconic themes that were generated by the likes of Marie Taglioni brought depth and emotion to what were previously one-dimensional storylines, along with the development of how the…
