Dancing is something that I love to do. . I started dancing when I was little. When I was seven I was a cheerleader for the Oakland dynamites. I have meet lots of dance choreographers. The dances that I like to do are The Jerk, Stankey Leg, Booty Dew, and Dougie. The G-Spot Boys came out with the Stankey Leg and the booty dew recently it has been a hit. Over the last few years I have had a lot of dance experience dancing in shows with different people from all over the world. My most recent dance show was at my school. It was for my eight grade graduation. My group is “The Explosive D.T.” We also did a show in Berkeley with a group called “the shock family” from Oakland. During my 8th grade year I had 3 separate dance choreographers who taught hip hop dances, they taught us in groups and we later performed for our family and friends. When I hear music it really gets me pumped up. I love dancing when I’m around my friends and family so much I believe I have started to influence my niece dances now and she gets all her moves from me. What makes me happy when I dance is to see everybody dancing when everyone else is happy it makes me a lot happier. When I go to parties I might be the only one on the dance floor and I can still have fun by myself. When I get older I want to be a professional dancer. I am interested in learning about different types of dances. Some dances that I want to learn are Ballet, African Haitian, Turf, and Ballroom Dancing. I want to be one of the best dancers in the whole world!!!!
