My Passion For Dance Research Paper

I was sitting in the room patiently waiting for them to call me. I was doing alright I wasn’t as nervous as I thought I would’ve okay. I felt calm and relaxed. When the lady stepped out with the clipboard in her hand, I heard her call for me. I felt my heart sink into my stomach and all of a sudden I just felt really sick and scared, like this is really happening, I was perfectly fine just a minute ago. Reality hit me in the face, because I realized that this is actually a make it or break moment. I stepped into the other room. I had stood right before the judges. My audition was really happening. I practiced for this moment so why am I so scared. The lady asked if I was ready, I wanted to be like, “nope I would like to go home.” I …show more content…
I remember crying, because I was at point where I wanted to give up, I can’t dance the way I used too. I’ve lost all control of my passion for dance, the more negative I became towards my dance, and the more I felt me becoming much worse at dance. I used dance as an escape, so why is it that I couldn’t use this pain that I felt towards the accident for my dance, why is it that I’m complaining about not being able to dance I was slowly giving up time after time. I could blow the judges away with a dance I could perform and I wouldn’t know it, if I’m over here crying and saying that I can’t. That won’t help me, me giving up isn’t going to help me succeed, just because of one tragic accident. I’ve decided giving up is an answer. I should be grateful that I was safe and not badly hurt from the accident. I realized that I shouldn’t give up on my dance and I shouldn’t complain about not being able to say that it’s hard, that I should I stop. Dance has been a very important part of my life and I’m not going to let an accident throw that away for me. I slowly started to get my passion back, but I still would feel pain when I would dance. I decided for my audition I would do a hip-hop lyrical mix. I told myself I’m going to see this through and even if I don’t get a spot in the 2015 Summer Dance Program, I know …show more content…
I let them know that I was all set and that I was ready. As the music started, I began to dance my heart out, I kept my mind and focus on the emotion in my dance. After my audition I felt confident, I felt that I did a great job, that my heart and soul moved with the music as one and I was proud of myself, that I didn’t fully give up, that I stuck it out. It took a week before I would find out whether I made it into the program or not. When I got the call that I did, I was proud. I know it wasn’t like an American Idol or The Voice callback or anything, but it felt like one those. I screamed and ran all over the house. Ever since that day, I told myself that any dream I have I’m going to go after no matter what happens, that I’m going to put my heart and soul into it and that I won’t give up. If I had given up than I would have never gotten that call letting me know that I made it that I got a spot in the Dance Program. Giving up won’t get you far, if you truly passionate about a dream, do something about it. I almost gave up, but I’m glad I
