One activity that I love to do is ballet. Ballet is my favorite activity of all times. One of my favorite things to do in ballet is, Swan lake, 4 little swans. For some people, This might be hard. It was at first for me, but then I got the hang of it and I can do it profesionaly. It took me a bunch of tries and a lot of effort, but I made it and love preforming it. One part That I couldn’t get was the part where we have to do “pas de chat” and lift our knees REAL high. But, if I try to hard, it will look horrible. In ballet, you have to make every single move look super easy. And trust me, it is not anywhere near easy.

                Ok, back to “Pas de chat”. This fancy word is a move in classical ballet. Swan lake is one of the classical ballet plays and people pay thousands and thousands of dollars just to see this beautiful play. Or, you can just watch all of it on youtube. Pas de chat is pronounsed like this

 (pa de sha) To do the move pas de chat,  you have to raise one foot and bring it to the knee, then put that foot to the back, then repeat that to the other foot then put it all together… You did a Pas De Chat! But remember to lift it real high!

                It’s my favorite because every since I was 6, I’ve been dreaming to dance the magnificent classical ballet, and here I am doing what I love! Did you know, that every dance like hip-hop, Jazz expressional dancing, etc. is based on ballet? And that all these ballet moves are french words? These are some facts I’ve learned throughout my ballet years. But, I know many more. When I dance, it’s like I’m in a magical world, almost like the nutcracker, ( another classical ballet play) My favorite scene in the nutcracker is “The Sugar Plum Fairy” dance.

                The Fairy is so ellegant and graceful! Her dance is beautiful but, it takes a LOT of work, I saw that the Sugar Plum Fairy’s dance, at the end she does a million twirls and doesn’t look dizzy one bit! For fun, me and my sister count how many times she spins around in her one dance, but we loose track at the end of the scene because she spins so fast and so many times. Also, there are many other ballet plays, like they could do disney princess plays too! They do Aladdin, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, etc.

      That last paragraph was about all of the classical ballet plays that are my favorite too. Ballet to me is the world and is so extraordinary and astonishing, All I want to do is dance the ballet the rest of my life. But for now, I have school and orchestra, and a lot of things before that. If you want to try out ballet, you can try online classes or click on this Cavod Academy Of The Arts. This is where you can learn ballet from the beginning and to the end where you earn pointe shoes. Don’t know what pointe shoes are? well, Pointe shoes are a type of ballet shoes that allow ballet dancer to stand on the tip of your toes. My dream is to become a prima ballerina so I can dance the classical ballet.
