That is probably why I always feel and view ballet as one of the most graceful and classy types of dance.

    Watching dance in person is an unforgettable experience. No matter how many different dances you watch on video, there is no substitute for seeing it in person. Observing the technique class and the rehearsal gave me so much insight on how much work is put into each individual dance. It made me realize that dancers are perfectionists and will persistently go over one small part of a dance until it is absolutely perfect. Observing the technique class and rehearsal allowed me to see the dedication…

Is having what everyone else wants worth it? How much is the value increased? How much more desirable to you appear to others? From the time I was seven, I never really stopped thinking about the broad aspects of existence. I still incorporated my enjoyments into life, I just analyzed them far too much. When I was…
