Why!? Why I didn't start ice skating since when I was younger? I knew that I was into this sport and interested in spins and jumps. The moment that I experienced a love at first sight happened when I was in kindergarten. Before kindergarten, I wasn't really into any sports. In contrast, one day, I was watching the Olympics on TV with my family. I was watching women's figure skating session and all of the women athletes were practicing on ice. After the practice, face of every athlete…
“How My Greatest Fear Became My Greatest Strength” is a line I’ve seen over and over again, but I could never wrap my head around it. How can your greatest fear possibly become your greatest strength? I thought that people just go around preaching it to sound intellectual. Little did I know I would eventually be the one to discover that dance—my greatest nightmare and passion—has made me become the person that I am today. Dancing has always been a part of my life. As a child, just by being on…
Jetlagged after a redeye from San Francisco, without caffeine to alleviate our early-morning exhaustion in a tranquil Virginian meadow, my teammates and I managed to stay attentive to assemble our model rocket for a practice launch before facing the top national aerospace teams competing for the title of Team America Rocketry Challenge champion. With our rocket in hand, my teammate stared at me with a blank expression, silently asking what’s the next step? Rather than explaining the procedure, I…

Five, six, seven, eight! Point! Smile! Energy! These are words that not only have I heard countless of times throughout my experience as a dancer but are words that have positively impacted my life. Although Dance hasn't been a part of my life for a long time, in the time that it has been, it's changed me for the better and made me who I am today. Dance has taught me more than how to leap, turn, or kick, It has taught me the importance of passion, commitment, and how to push myself beyond my…

I have seen the first one you mention though not the second--thank you. Unfortunately the clip of excerpts is missing the solo I remember--where the movement seemed to flow through her body like a force of nature--it was as if she became a rippling stream. Sounds absurd, but that's what it looked like to me! Just a side note about youtube and video: I live far from the centers of the ballet world and depend on youtube for much of my ballet watching these days--I have even formed some…
At the age of seven I began studying flamenco dance under the direction of Linda Vega in Santa Barbara. Dancing flamenco for nine years brought so much joy to my life, to my family's life, given me physical and performance skills, and has taught me many life lessons. Every summer Santa Barbara celebrates Old Spanish Days Fiesta, which is a five-day long celebration honoring Santa Barbara's Spanish heritage. There are marketplaces throughout the city, called mercados, where visitors can dine on…
Though initially attracted due to its elaborate costumes, I have grown to admire ballet as an art form. When I see dancers onstage, I don’t see fragile dolls or frilly princesses. I see impressive athletes, even warriors who are battling to attain unattainable perfection. Furthermore, I believe they are the epitome of resilient spirits. I am not a ballerina myself, but I know the truth about their world. And it is nothing like the effortless, ethereal image painted onstage. I first started…
