The day I joined the dance academy...

Just like every other little girl I used to do ballet when I was younger,  what I didn’t realise was that I would be needing to use these skills in Brazil


a couple of weeks back I went to a talent show hosted by my rotary club, it was pretty amazing, they had everything, from magicians to singers and of course they had dancers. There were these incredible dancers from a dance club called Apollo. They offer classes for hip hop, jazz and ballet. Because so many of her students were taking part the dance show the principle of the dance academy was there. She bumped into my host mum and I and we got chatting. She was amazed that I was an exchange student living in the area for a year. My host mum mentioned that I did gymnastics in the area and that I was into dancing, she then offered to let me train at her academy free of charge! The following Monday I went to the academy to see if any of the classes were for me. After a couple of sessions I made friends with a lovely group of girls who invited me to join them in their dance classes, thy danced all three disciplines, ballets, jazz and hip hop. It seemed like the perfect idea so I accepted the offer. They also invited me to take part in their Christmas presentation in December so in order to learn the new choreography I train Monday to Thursday in ballet and jazz :’)
