One of my favorite classes is Movement. In my school, we have trimester rotations of different electives. I have done Theater, Computer Science, Chorus, Art, and now Movement. Next, I will do Band. In seventh grade, we will get to choose one elective we will do all year. I love Movement because I am a serious ballet dancer. I dance four days a week for 1 hour, 30 minutes at my studio, Barriskill Dance School. I have been dancing since I was four. My most recent performance was The Nutcracker in December. I played one of Drosselmyer’s elves, which if you are familiar with the story, is his “helper”. In my dance, the other elves and I were preparing the dolls for the show on Christmas Eve at the party Clara’s family was hosting. In Act 2 I was part of the Marzipan corps who performed for Clara and the Prince. Our next performance is Peter Pan, in the spring. In this, I play one of the baby crocodiles of Tick Tock Crocodile. I love Movement because it is a class where we dance all styles. I also like helping my classmates with a particular step. Right now, we are working on our final projects. I do my final project with my classmates Emmy, Taylor, and Jake who’s blogs you can find on the side bar. These are all the reasons why I love Movement and a bit about my dancing.
I LOVE this post! I don’t think I appreciated how often you have to practice to make this happen. Great job Isla! So impressive!
Hi Isla,
What a great post! I am so impressed with your dancing, your willingness to include others in your realm of talent and of course, your presence in Movement class. I am excited for “Peter Pan”! Please let me know when it is. I would love to see you in your performance.
Take care… and keep dancing! You have what it takes!
