To me, dance is a way to gather my thoughts and feelings. However, let myself go at the same time. When I walk into that studio and start listening to the music, it helps me forget about everything else. Dance is a form of self-discovery. It's a limitless creative language that we can all use to communicate. I am a very shy person by nature, so expressing myself through words is rather difficult at times for me. But when I dance, I feel free. With the support of my mother and my hometown palateachra, I made the decision to audition. Once I got to MBS, it really felt like home, and I knew that this is where I needed to go to further my training. I was given the opportunity to be in MBS Summer School through a competition. During this summer school, I felt that MBS was really a great place to train and to learn about dance. My sister's did ballet and I did hip-hop, and I watched them dance, and I felt like I wanted to dance more than I was in hip-hop, and so I decided to try ballet. I came to MBS quite later than other students have as I am 15. After coming here for one year, it has changed my life so much. Dance has taught me what it means to have a passion in life, and what it means to wake up every morning with a single goal, and a goal that hopefully and eventually lead you to happiness, because dance is what I want to do. Makes me happy. you
