Wanna be friends? I will tell you a bit about myself. I am in grade five, live in the USA, like to read, talk, and smile, have a sister who I share this account with, like to act, and really want to start taking dance. Bye!

i am i dance FANATIC I LOVE IT LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT I MEAN I COULD DANCE 4EVR AND EVR CLIK THE HEART!
Next year I will be on pointe! my aunt is my dance teacher at my studio. the main teacher and my aunt go way back. She used to teach my aunt! Ironic, right?
Bsggirls07, You should take dance lessons.They are so much fun. Talk to your mom about seeing the dance schools in your area. Try to show her that you are serious about it.When she sees that you are serious Im sure she will help you.
Well, make sure you are looking at different companies around your area and see when you need to register for lessons. If your mom is still not letting you go ask her why. Good Luck!
I really would love to take dance lessons, but there is one small problem. I am known for quitting dance lessons (I joined a weird dance class when little -if you could even call it dance, it was so weird- and I quit). My mom keeps saying that she'll let me take dance lessons, but I never end up actually taking them. Any advice here?
ballagirl11~ Thanks for the great tips!!! I go to ballet 4 days a week. In all I am there 6 hours. I thought I was the only one who sewed my pointe shoes with floss.
i wuz in my ballet schools production of the Nutcracker!!! (it is a professional ballet school w/ professional dancers!) i have been in it 4 4 years. i have been an angel, drosselmeyer helper (drossies 4 short!), polichinelle or the person from mother ginger's skirt(poli 4 short!), and party girl (person @ clara's christmas party!)
1. use either lambs wool or lambs wool pads, stay AWAY from the gel pads!!!
2. duck tape works really well for toes that get blisters really easily. dont use the medical tape, it comes off easily!!!
3. when sewing on the ribbons, put them next 2 the little line thing where its sewed on the side (its ok if ya dont kno what im talking about!!!) and dont sew all the way thru 2 the outside of them, just the inside fabric!!!
4. as they wear down, cut the fabric off of the top of the box (where u stand on pointe) it will make it not have a bunch of stray pieces coming off (that could make u slip & fall)
5. ALWAYS make sure u r all the way on ur box!!!
these r just some of my tips!!! ask me any question if ya want 2 kno more!!!
PointeShoe101~ OMG YES i sew my pointe shoes w/ floss!!! it works soooo well!!! and it keeps ur shoes minty fresh!!! ha ha ha (thats an inside joke i have w/ my ballet friends!!!)
i do: 4 ballet classes a week 3 pointe classes a week 1 modern class a week 1 character class a week..... oh yeah i also have: 2 rehearsal classes a week 4 our spring show/showcase

I love dancing! I take this ballroom dance class, and i hope to be on Dancing With The Stars! It would be so cool, don't ya think? Click on the heart to agree!!
stylinchic, look into studios that offer scholarships. my sister takes so many classes that she does one class on scholarship. most of the time you have to write an essay on what dance means to you or you have to do something else but i suggest you try it. good luck!
i love dance! i take 2 ballet classes and 1 jazz each week. i always put the most effort into everything i do when i dance because classes are expensive. whenever we have a quick break to get water or the teacher is practicing with someone else i am always working on steps. it pays off because i improved soooo sooo much and i have a small solo with three other girls in my jazz dance!!!!
i would love to take ballet lessons and hip hop classes it's just that my mom never have enough money so everytime i think about it i cry because i know if i have a opportunty to take classes i would do so much effort in it
OMG! I love to dance. I take classes twice a week the rest of the time I playing soccer but when I have music class all I do is close my eyes and make up a dance becaus ewho wants to stare at a whole bunch of little lines I can't even understand even though I LUV music to. people say that ballet is wierd but I love it
hey dance is so much fun i recommend try you first year with a friend so it isn't so scary, because so people get very into it ♥♥♥♥ but soooooo much fun
I really want to take dance but no new classes start until September! Some people I know take serious dance sometimes twice a day! One of them even tried out for the national ballet of canada! I have taken dance before for 4 years but I was really young and haven't picked it up since. I just read ballet shoes and it was an awesome book.
hey i know this isnt dance, but it kinda has 2 do with it-i really like to figure skate and figure roller blade, does anyone have any tips on figure skating? and can anyone give me tips on doing the backwards crossovers and an axle??? THANX!
The kinds of dances I take are Ballet, Pre-Pointe (getting ready to go on pointe), tap, jazz, lyrical, and gymnastics. Next year I'm thinking of trying hip-hop!
Right now dance is my life! I'm trying my very hardest to get into my studio's dance company! And I've been dancing for 10 years and I'm only 12. On Tuesdays I dance from 5:00-8:30! And on Mondays 5:00-6:30
HAYY IVE BEEN DOIN doi a thing called caisthenics for 10 years n im 11 wow i have like 220 medals and i LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE 2 DANCE love yas mwa mwa bye xoxox
i started dancing when i was in grade 2 and now ia m in grade 8 so... 7yrs and when i was in grade 2 i started doing ballet and then stopped and then in grade 4 i started doing polish dance ~BSGlover123~
ok... maybe im not good at cultural dancing or dosi-do's. but in hip hop im numba 1.well see there is 2 types of dancing- dancin with the words or dancin with the beat. if ur just goofin off dance to the words. such as if thier is a break up song act emmotional, hard rock, then add some jumping and head bobbing.thats one way or if ur in a dance off or just wanna impress somebody id go with the flow. if a song like kiss kiss is on then do alot of soulder pops and body rolls.another example, the song low do alot of sharp motions and hip rotation. or a song like feedback then do a lot of smooth motions and stuff. ur funky monkey, urlilathlete

kdgirl~ when u go on 2 releve dont make ur knees turn in instead try focusing on turning (or rotating) your legs out. if its ur ancles that r not turned out then try 2 keep ur balance on the ball of ur foot (or not just leaning towards ur big toe) Hope that helps!!! XOXO & ♥ ballagirl11

I love dancing! I do jazz, pre pionte, tap, lyrical, gymnatics, hip hop and i have to learn Swing Dancing for a musical i am doing. I can do toe touchs, high kicks, splits, backsrpings, and I can almost to a arial. I mainly started dance because of acting!
I take dance lessons every Monday! I just love to dance. my mom asked me if I wanted to quit after the dance recital and i said'No way! i love to dance.' I want to take hip hop class. I saw their dance at the dance recital when i wasn't dancing and it was awesome. I like the recitals bettr than the practices.
I've been dancing since I was two. It's awesome! I take Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Acro, Lyrical, Pre-Pointe, and Performance Group. I can go all the way down in both sides of my split. I also almost have my aerial and my back handspring!
fleur11~ thats y there is an 11 at the end of ballagirl 2!!! 11 is also my fav #!!! i am always #11 in school!!! it is soo weird!!! XOXO & ♥ ballagirl11
I've been dancing since i was two too! I love it and I haven't stopped and I;ve stayed at the same place for that time. I take modern, tap, jazz, and ballet. 2 hours! I can do an AWESOME split!
I've been dancing since I was two. Now I'm doing 2 hours of dance, one of ballet, and one of jazz. It is BRUTAL! But I'm so glad I'm flexible, splits are really easy for me!! (I can go down all the way on both legs.) Have an awesome week!
danceinparis, sure I love having friends in chat rooms! My nickname is fleur bacause if you know the Harry potter books and movies. the character Fleur always loses-and I always lose at stuff too, so that's why I'm her. and the 11 is my fav/ lucky #.
fleur11 u want 2 be online friends??????? also i was wondering why is ur nickname fluer i asked u that cuz im french and fluer means flower!! but u prb;ay knew that!!
danceinparis, no I am not french it's just that Fleur's my nickname. I defiantly think you should ask the boy to dance with you, don't wait for them! and it will show your confidence when you ask him to dance-some guys like confident girls. But this is a subject that is easier said then done- I have never asked a boy to dance but I have almost but I got to scared-but you don't be! Yes, I like drama. and I do like singing, but I'm not very good.
fleur11 i just wanted to ask u 3 1. r u french cuz of ur name thingy(fluer11)?? 2.how do u get a boy 2dance with u should i ask him? 3.do u like drama sining or like wats ur hobbie? luv ya ♥danceinparis♥
sidnee#8, or anyone else sorry it took me so long to answer back but anyways-advice to dance with boys- we'll at my school when a boy asks you to dance(for a slow dance) you usually just rest your hands on his shoulders, or if you know him better (like he's your boyfriend)-try to put your arms closer to his neck, kinda around his neck almost. He will most likely put his hands on your waist. (oh la la!)- but don't let him put his hands to low, or to high! Then you usually just sway or slowly go around in a circle until the song is over. But while the dance is still on try and make convo-on whatever! sports, school, or if you can't think of anything at the moment, discuss the song that's on.-even if you don't know just be like "I love this song, it's so good." and from there hopefully you make a convo. (hope I gave good advice.)-Fleur~11
born2dance, I am SO with you on that! My neighbor is really sporty, and whenever I mention I have dance that night, he always says it's so easy and anyone could do it. Plus he says it's not a real sport! It makes me SO mad! -bsgmea13
I would love to take a dance class. I'm really into musicals with cool dancing, like the jazz dancing in "White Christmas", the 60's dancing in "Hairspray", the hip hop dancing in "The Cheetah Girls", etc.
born2dance, I totally agree all the guys I know wouldn't stand a minute in any of my dance classes. Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Pointe, Lyrical you name it and they couldn't do it! LOL! Love, BooButterfly P.S. I just had the funniest idea. Try picturing a guy you know doing a Fouetté .........Hahahahahah isn't that hillarous?
OMG I LOVE TO DANCE. I have been dancing for seven years and I have taken ballet, tap, and jazz. Most people think that dance is easy but it takes a lot of strength balence and coordination. I love dance and I am never going to stop. lol
Ballet, all the way. . . . well, I do ballet. I think we should all promise that no matter the guy- if you like him, or not- stand up for dancing! Boys are always thinking that hockey or foot ball is harder than lyrical, or ballet, or jazz, tap, modern, cheerleading. . . . All the things that STRONG girls do! I KNOW that I could play hockey . . . but the guys I know would never survive in ballet class.
I take a really fun hip hop/ cheerleading dance class with one of my friends and some other people. Right now we are working on this dance routine where we dance to the song "There Aint No Easy Way." We dance with pom-poms and cowboy hats for this routine. For the next routine we are going to dance to the song "Please Dont Stop the Music". I love that song!!!
may_gemini~i am not flexible and i take dance classes!!!! do daily exercises that ur teacher will give u. soon u will hav muscle memory buildup and chances r there is more kids who r havin the same problem!!!! u will b sooooo happy u joined!!!!!
I love dancing, but I am not very good at it. I feel very embarassed when I try to dance in front of people, so I only do it in my house alone. I'm afraid it might look really weird.
You should keep working on it. Stretch some every day. Are you taking beginners lessons? If so, then I'll bet there are a lot of girls who haven't developed flexibility skills yet. KEEP PRACTICING! You'll get the hang of it! -JBleu
I'm not very flexible and I'm been working to become flexible but, I want to take dance classes. I'm afraid that everyone else will be flexible and that I'm going to be TOTALLY embrassed! any advice?
Dance is one of my all time faves. i take lyrical, jazz,tap and hip hop. Busy busy. Dance frees the sole and helps u exspress ur feelings through movement. I LOVE dance!!!
i'm also gonna tell u how many days a week each level practices (some of this is ironic): 1= 1 day 2= 1-2 days 3= 3 days 4= 4 days (me) 5= 5 days 6= 6 days 7= 6 days XOXO & ♥ ballagirl11
i am in level 4. there are 7 levels in all. 1= little, little kids 2= a little older (a year maybe) 3= about 1 or 2 years younger than me 4= girls & boys in 5th, 6th, & 7th grade (occasionly older) 5= 6th- 9th graders (maybe) 6= high schoolers 7= high schoolers 2 (it all depends if u've been on pointe yet and how old u r and how long u've been dancing at the school.) XOXO & ♥ ballagirl11
ask them! its not that hard, find out some more info about the dance studio you want 2 join, then ask them. when they ask you how much it costs, wat kind of classes you want 2 take and stuff, u shud know. just ask!
I take jazz at a really good dance academy. I luv, luv, luv it!!! it is SO fun. don't be afraid to go all out- shake the stress away! and plus... maybe some guy will call you for a music video!!! LOL!!!!!! just have fun and express urself!
I ♥ dancing!!! i love it and will always treasure it!!! btw i do 4 days of ballet, 3 days of pointe, 1 day of modern, and 1 day of character dancing!!! i do it 4 days a week & have been doing it for 10 years. (i started when i wuz 2). i ♥ going on pointe!!! it makes me feel so graceful!!! ♥ this comment if ya ♥ 2 dance!!! XOXO & ♥ ballagirl11
i wluv 2 dance its my favorite thing 2 do. i was the advanctures of pan this year if u had seen it write me back.well i love 2 dance i've been dacning every sinst i was 4. well datz all i have 2 say
I danced tap 4 1 year and ballet for 7 years, but I quit because I couldn't find a good studio and it was becoming to much plus my other activities. I still ♥ to dance, though. ♥hermione23
Today there was a dance at school! There was this band, they were really bad at singing Soulja Boy! It's was kind of boring at first, but then by the end of the dance I was having a great time dancing with the only one of my friends that will let me dance my way if i let him dance his way.I also love Ballet! that's why none of my friends will let me dance, is because i'm no good at hip hop and stuff so all of a sudden I bust out in ballet.
at my dance school we have a "Company". these girls compete and are really mean to all of the "other" girls. i come home from dance school very upset a LOT, plus my cousins are in this "company" what should i do?
fleur11, Well I guess I just need to know how to dance with a boy!!!!!! Like slow dance and a dance that everyone does with boys at dances! I really need some tips! -Sidnee#8

I love to dance. I take tap and jazz once a week. This year for the recital I am doing a tap duet with another girl. I am so exited because this means next year I might get a solo!!!!!!!!
