when i was 18 i went to New York City to pursue my dream in dance and man i was scared. i attended the alvin ailey american dance theater. its a prominate modern dance company and school. my first day at school was very nerve racking i didnt know what to expect. i seen all types of people from all types of countries. i didnt know that people from every where knew about this school. when i took my first class i had a ball my teacher used me as an example in class and i felt like a star. i met my first bestfriend there and we ended up getting an apt together, we were insepreable we did everything together. she taught me wat she knew and i taught her wat i knew. everyone wanted to be us because we were some of the best in school. one day i snuck in a hiphop class because i wasnt allowed to take hip hop yet. so i was sitting down learning the routine and everyone was having a hard time learning it. when the instructor saw that i was learning her choreography sitting down she told everyone to stop and admire my talent and again i felt like a star. after class she invited me to attend a workshop that she was having. when i got there i reconized alot of people like famous choreographers that you know that worked for famous artist such as missy ellliott, ciara, beyonce and so on. i was so nervous when it was my turn to show everyone what i was made of and believe it or not tey loved and and again me i felt like a star.
