If you're a dancer, then you know that dance team
is a big deal. No matter if it’s at you're school or you're studio, everybody's
working toward the same goal. To be the best dancer they can be, to get to
varsity or the top team, whatever that may be. I'm on dance team at my school
and take classes at my studio, so most of my knowledge of dance
teams comes from my school. In order to get on dance team it's going to
take work, and I mean hard work. No matter what you're skill level is you're
going to have to work on something. Whether that's hitting you're moves, turns,
flexibility, or jumps, you’re going to have to work on something.
Being good at dance or being good at dance compared to the people around you is definitely a confidence boost. Everyone wants to be good at something, and everyone one is, you just might not have found it yet. But just because you're good at something doesn't mean you're better than anyone else. Often times our performances in life dictate our social status, whether that's in sports or just in an ordinary day. We're told to win, fix our mistakes, and be better than the person next to you. Although in some circumstances that's true, we're trained to compare and judge ourselves and the people around us in order to succeed. Success is fine, it's enjoyable and pleasing, but when you take it away what holds you together? What makes your life worth living, what makes you happy?
We're told to do lots of stuff, to get involved in so many sports and so many clubs and activities. These pressures come from our parents, school and friends. But how many things do you do that make you happy for no reason at all? That's what dancing is for me. I'm not as good as the other girls on my team, but I enjoy it a lot more. There's definitely challenges that come with it, but isn't everything a challenge? At least in its own way it is. It doesn't matter how people look at you. How cool or popular you are, what your reputation is. Everyone is on a journey, to figure out who they are and where they fit in, what their purpose is in life. We're in this together, so we must stick together.
I'm not here to tell you what is right and what is wrong, but I'm telling you to keep going. To listen to your dreams and follow your heart. If you want to be a professional dancer than be a professional dancer. Take the steps to become better, join a studio or make JV and keep working toward your goals. Anything is possible. In the Bible, Philippians 4:13 states, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." ~So Keep the Faith~
