Question: A Dancer's Manifesto!.!.!. please tell me what you think!!?
I have to write a manifesto for an English/History combined double period class!. It's an accelerated class so they expect really good work from us, and I've gotten A's on all of my writing so far this year, but this assignment has been a little more difficult for me!. I did mine on dancing, please tell me if any of it is confusing or if you think it is good,
Thanks in advance!


"Pain, without love!.
Pain, I can't get enough!.
Pain, I like it rough 'cus
I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all" (Pain by Three Days Grace)

It's at that moment that we run in at each other, as the words contributing to each of our lives must end, and our movements must carry on the story!. The words serve as a prefect precedent to prepared the audience for the collision they are about to encounter!. Was Adam Gontier, the writer of such a powerful song, a dancer in a past life!? Few others would know such dedication, or portray it with such angst!. Not many understand the purpose of entering an industry where you are built up to be broken down, put together only to be torn apart!.It's a hard concept, someone wanting to take part in something where you learn not how to stand, but rather how to fall; not how to judge, but how to be judged!. It's what separates the dancers from the rest of the world!. For most it feels predestined, as if everything about them screams "dancer first, human being second!." You cannot "become a dancer, you are "born" a dancer!. What you can learn is how to take advantage of such a gift, for to dance with your feet is one thing, but to dance with your heart is something else all together!.
Being a dancer is about more than the ability to do a Saut de Basque!. It's more than knowing what a as de Trois is!. It's about more than cherry lipstick and bright lights!. The life of a dancer is about never ending aspiration, drive, resiliency, and optimism!. It's about enacting a fairy tale with such emotion that every member of the audience can feel your pain!. It's the expression of your soul through lines of your body and pure movement, the visceral thrill of blood pumping faster and heart thumping harder, leaping higher and reaching farther!. There is no "can't" or "won't" only "will" and "determination!." Anyone can dance, however not may have what it takes to be a dancer; that is, grace gliding on blistered feet!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
wow,
I really can relate to you as a dance also and your words really flow beautifully!. I think your concept and writing style is really gorgeous and expresses the point in a very organized way!. If you were to change anything,I would change the quote at the top, because it is a little confusing, and I do not really see how it relates!. Amazing job though!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
