What I Learned


The biggest challenge I faced while teaching Emily the dance was that sometimes she can be very lazy. I have no tolerance for that, so I had to be hard on her. Choreographing dances is my true passion in life. I do think I have a knack for it, but after doing this I am unsure that I have the patience to do it as an actual occupation. This all really made me rethink what I want as my career. I absolutely love choreography, but dealing with undesirable people can ruin it. I can't imagine dealing with that every day. Would it be worth it? Nothing makes me feel the way choreographing does, but working with people who sometimes have a bad attitude, like Emily, can have a bad impact on it. Now, I am unsure if I really want to be a full time dance teacher and choreographer. 

Despite the trials I faced during this experience, I am so glad I did this. It was my first time ever choreographing a dance by myself that would compete, so it was a really big deal for me. I have choreographed many pieces by myself before for recitals and such, but none ever competed. Despite the fact that she was sometimes hard to work with and I think she could have performed better, I am very proud of her and myself.
