i dance because i sincerely LOVE to dance, i just love being on stage, i love the backstage butterflies, the bright lights, the audience, the quick costume changes, meeting other amazing dancers, going to dance conventions, just EVERYTHING about it (:
haha, i like getting al flexible from it, cause most of the times doing a split for your friends just fascinates them :) haha
i started because i was SO not a sports chick, and dancing just seemed more fun and beautiful!
OH MY, i can't even begin to tell you how many times i'd dislike dance class, the drama with girls, trying to get the teachers attention, hard hard hard choreorgaphy, but in the end, i realized it was for the best and loved it anyways, cause if you really love dancing then youll love it even when you can't do it sometimes (:

haha this was a fun question to answer!Www@QuestionHome@Com

*I dance because i love it and its been apart of my life for 13 years since i was 3!. No matter what kind of day im having dancing can always make it better!. I love everything about dancing but the thing i love the most is the feeling i get when i can do something that ive been practicing for a long time!. I also love being on stage, the lights, the music, costumes and dancing infront of an audience!.
* I didnt actually choose to start!. My mom put me in a class when i was 3 and then as i got older i decided to continue because i loved it!.
*There are times when i dont enjoy dancing!.!.!.like on my bad days when i just cant seem to do anything right or sometimes during pointe and my toes hurt soo much i just want to stop or wonder why i do something that hurts me, but then i realize i love dance and i never want to stop dancing!.
*I continue dance because i love it and i cant imagine my life without it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I dance because it is a way to express myself!. Dance is always there for me when everything else in my life is going wrong!. I started when I was 3 because My sister did it and I really looked up to her!. then I quit at age 8 because told myself I was only doing it because my sister was, which was true!. But then when I was 13 I found that I really did love it and went back even though my sister was done dancing!. Now I LOVE IT and I am SO glad that I came back!. I want to continue in dance because it is my passion and my everything without it I would be lost!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

if you work hard enuf you keep getting better and that keeps you going because you know you will be rewarded!

it keeps you fit and flexible and is something different you have from other people, but also a bond between all the pther ballerinas in the world

when classes get hard, you learn to stick it out because it will pass!.lots of times you might not want to go and youd rather do your own thing!.

nobody can always love it, ballet is tough and can be painful(say on your muscles and your toes) but deep down you know its all worth it because its such a beautiful and amazing thing

you can demonstrate anger, happiness and passion whenever you need that emotional outlet for yourself and it keeps you in a better mood(that mixed with exersize endorphins)

but mostly, you do it because you love it!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I dance because, whenever I hear music, I always feel like getting up and DOING something, you know what I mean!? Maybe it is because I have taken dance for so long!. I also like it because, the first time I saw the Nutcracker, like every other semi-passionate girl out there, I wanted to be the Sugar Plum Fairy!.
Yes, I have wanted to quit dance, at least modern, because I felt like I was no good because my teacher would either totally ignore me, or pick on me for the slightest things!. But I got over it and have never wanted to quit any other classes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

-i do dance cuz i love it it makes me feel happy and it fills me with joy and it cheers me up on bad days!.
-i like everything about it! whats there not to like!?
- i started cuz i always was walking on my tip toes so my mom enrolled me in classes at the studio next to where one of my families shops were when i was 3
-yes there were times when i didnt like classes!.!.!. still are it just depends on the kinda day my teacher is having if they have a bad day it seems like theyre more harsh and mean and out to get u with every mistak u make
- well my studio is great, its my home away from home(i feel like i live there lol) and the ppl there are great theyre my "family" i have like 7 "moms" and prbly like 50 "sisters" and i just love everyone there and theyre there for me and im there for them they keep me there!

i also love the rush of performing on stage which i will be on the 26th! i actually like the quick changes and frustration in rushing to get my pointe shoes on and off and change in and out of the most complicated costumes in one number to get back onstage its like an adrenaline rush! and when ur done changing you get tht awesome feeling of relief!

i just totally love it!Www@QuestionHome@Com

They may be catty, but in the end they are always there for you!. also, its really good exercise and it keeps you in shape!.
