I went to a dance recital today. Absolutely stunning. Kids from the ages of like 6 all the way up to the senior graduates of the studio. I really just was sooo impressed with the skill set the, range in which all the dancers displayed from modern to tap and then ballet… just phenomenal.
However, i have to say a small part of me really got a bit depressed. Not because the dancers were horrible or because it was a great show… It was amazing… i just… i wish that i could’ve had the opportunity to be a part of something like that. I wish my parents would’ve put me in dance classes. I wish i could’ve been a part of a dance studio and build my technique and skill set. I’m just so far behind and i have the passion for dance, i just don’t know if i’m going to be able to catch up in time. I look at these kids younger than me doing all these split leaps and double and triple pirouettes into barrel jumps and… i’ll be honest i’m intimidated. As much as i love to dance, i look at it and i say what if its too late? Its just scary because i’m about to put everything on the line for this, and if i don’t make it… its like i’m screwed. Cause if i really want to make this happen i need to pull out of school and join a school of dance somewhere. And i’ll be on my own, because my parents are just done… How the crap am going to do this?…
