we're just curious! it's time to think!:
+ do you think dance is a sport?: Yes. Dance is a sport. I personally think it is one of the HARDEST sports i will ever compete in. I even wrote a report about it. It was long, or i would post it. hehe.
+ what do you say to someone who looks at dancing as easy ((the “I could do that” attitude))? Well, me being a very stubborn, smart alleck person i would probley say "lets see you do it. Lets see you do three turns on one foot, go through one of our dance classes, and then we'll see how you feel"
+ what do you tell yourself to get over that “I can’t do this” hump? I just take a deep breath. Calm down a little bit. and just try again. I hate the word "cant" so i try not to use it, atleast on a good day.
+ why do you dance?: my mom pushed me into it to begin with. and now its just a way of living. if i haven't danced for awhile, you don't want to be around me. I'm grumpy.
+ what is your favorite part of dance?: the rush of being out there, in front of hundreds of people, doing what you love.
+ what is your least favorite part of dance?: Pulled muscles.
+ brag a little. what are some of the strongest points of your dancing?: My flexability. I do all three splits. I'm the most flexible on my team. And sometimes people will ask my to show off some random spot. And my turns are pretty good. I'm satisfied with them, along with my coach.
+ how did you start dancing?: My mom. Although she doesn't support me dancing anymore, she started me when i was 2 tap dancing. Which later moved to jazz. Then she pulled me out of tap and jazz, and i just started hip-hop.
+ how did you hear about im_fabulous? danceranonymous
