Tiny Dancer

              

               For this week’s blog we were to do something fun on campus to relieve the stress of the midterm season. This week were auditions for Southern’s Pulse Dance Company. I decided to audition since I love to dance, and it ended up being a lot of fun. We auditioned in three categories, lyrical, jazz, and hip-hop. Dance has always been something I loved to do ever since I was a little girl. ECA ended in June and for the summer for once I was not dancing. I thought that once I started college I would have no time for dance. My parents were mad too because they always wanted me to stick with it and always keep dancing in my life. When I saw Pulse Dance Company at the club fair I knew I would want to audition. Not trying to jinx it because I don’t know the results yet but I would love to be part of their company.

                Dancing has always been something that relieves stress for me. All through high school dance was almost like an escape from all the stress in my life. When you dance you forget about all your problems and are just in the moment. Every pirouette, every leap, you get lost in dance. Everything about it relieves my stress instantly. The long mirrors, the broken in ballet shoes, all that makes me feel at home. The dance world is something great to get lost into and I find it the best escape from stress. When you do something you love that is the best stress reliever you could ask for. You get lost in a moment and it really is the best feeling in the world.
