2D: Looking Inward

I guess truly I have no idea where to start, but my main part of dancing I'm most enthusiastic about is choreography, the way a dancer can make you feel by just doing one slight movement is what really makes my heart race. I guess that's why Ive gone down the path I did, Teaching. I can use my school as a blank canvas and mould my dancers into emotions.

My first person i admire has got to be my first dance teacher. Some would say there was nothing special about her, she was just a normal dance teacher give her best. She inspired me to teach and to continue dancing and for that i guess I will always admire her. I admired her work from the simple to the difficult, the movements she choreographed that made a story out of any dance, weather sad or happy.

My second has got to be my mum, an ex dancer never professional as me and my brothers got in the way, but a stunning dancer and sometimes still is, when she thinks I'm not looking. She has got to be my inspiration to teach dance, I just watch her and I feel the emotions, the feeling she portrays and can get carried away with the story and for one second forget that I'm in Lincoln or on the sofa.

I guess the last person i would have to say I admire in the dancing profession has to be George Balanchine. The creator of many ballets, an artist of musicality and a dancer. His School of American Ballet, The New York City Ballet and his 400 choreographed works of art transformed American dance and dance in general. He had created modern ballet by developing a unique style of speed and attack. I admire his work and himself, he pushed the boundaries and made history and works of art.

It seems to be a great choreographer you must gamble in life and your creations. As my mum always says, 'You Win some and You Lose Some, it's the trying that matter' for me she couldn't be more right.
