Get On Your Dancing Shoes

There is one thing that I love doing so much that I haven't done it in a long time. Dancing. 

Dancing is my all time favourite hobby which I grew up doing. I started off just by going to a dance class once a week where I would show up to the earlier class before my one because my little cousin went to so it made sense for me to go with her and wait. I would be sitting on the bench watching the kids dance just basically waiting for my turn :P. I remember one of our teachers asking me if I would be interested in helping out a bit with playing the music and stopping it when they needed me to and also taking the register and money before the class started. I thought this was great! 

Over time I then got asked how I would feel about actually teaching the class and they were gonna ask another girl who had just joined my class to help. This was amazing to me cause it was my dream to have my own dance class! We did this for a good few years and the feeling I used to get after seeing the kids dance my dance without any help was amazing!

As I got older I decided to try out dance college. The first year was amazing!! It was a hip hop course which was introduced the year I decided to audition which I was so excited for as the school is mainly contemporary and ballet based, so I was in my element! We did different styles of dance including hiphop, street dance, break dance, jazz, contemporary and ballet. After the first year they didn't continue with the hip hop course as people from my class dropped out before the end of year show so this looked like there wasn't enough interest to carry it on. This really upset me. Contemporary doesn't really excite me but I continued on with it and stayed for half of another year. 

I love this photo. Me with my class in our first year at college. I'm 4 along in the top row.

Now I don't dance at all. I miss it so much! So, I am so so so excited to be starting a new street dance class tomorrow and I hope I'm just as good as I was a few years a go and I am up for getting back in shape! It's gonna be tough to start with but I'm so excited! :D
