History of me as a dancer

 From as young as I can remember, I have been dancing. I started dancing when I was two after a nagging my mum for ages about going to lessons.



 

 

When I was four I had a 2 year break and started at Pointers Dance Studio when I was six. Ever since then I have been dancing nonstop. I attended ballet, contemporary, modern, jazz and tap classes at Pointers. I competed in a number of festivals and won numerous 1^st, 2nds, and 3rds in the following dance competitions: Wallington, Epsom, Croydon, Beckenham, Sussex, Swale, and East Grinstead.

 

 

I learnt how to perform at Pointers as we also did a show every year at The Secombe Theatre in Sutton. I also auditioned for “Seussical The Musical” at Fairfield Halls, in Croydon and was lucky enough to be chosen.

Here are some photos of the five pointers shows I did, where I was danced in too many group dances to count and a few duets and solos.

I also performed in the "Young Performers Dance Show" at The Shaftsbury Theatre in the West End in London. Also, when I was only in year 4 I choreographed and danced in our school production of the Selfish Giant at Highview Primary.

 

After 5 years at Pointers I decided to leave when I was eleven to move on to "Grayes school of Dance" to focus on technique. Also, as I want to be a great dancer, it is vital for me to take exams if I wanted to have a career in dance. I have taken 4 dance exams in level 3&4 ballet, and grade 4&5 modern,where I received one merit and three distinctions. Over the three years I have been at "Grayes" I have been studying Ballet, Modern, tap, and Jazz.

 

Before I successfully earned a place at the Brit school, I attended Carshalton Girls and performed a solo in all three of there annual dance shows. As well as "Ignite" where I performed a tap number as part of a group.

I also performed in "Big Dance 2012" and we was taught by a dancer of the English National Ballet and got to visit their studio in London for rehearsal before performing at Kensington Palace.

 

 

 

I also won spotlight with my friend Mali where we performed a duet, myself doing ballet and Mali doing street dance.

 

 At "Grayes" I performed in their dance show called "Do You Want To Dance? "at The Epsom Playhouse. I also performed "Godspell" the musical at The Charles Cryer Theatre, in Carshalton with Grayes Musical theatre company and more recently "Cats".

 

 

 

I am now in Ballet level 5, Modern Grade 6, Tap Grade 4, Jazz level 4, and intermediate Ballet where I will be going on pointe. I am also attending Bronze Jazz as extra curriculum at The BRIT School.

 

 

 

 

 

I will continue to work hard in lessons and perform to the best of my ability.
