Passion, be.my.valentine [digital book reader txt] 📗

I am a dancer. I live, breathe and sweat dance. All day I dance. I get hurt, I have trouble but I dance it off. My name is Grace Hamilton. I live in Los Altos, California. I go to Los Altos High School. I'm 16 years old. I started Dancing when I was 2 years old. My family works as hard as they can to keep me in dance school. Best friend? D-A-N-C-E. Dance. I have an older brother Max. He is 18 years old. My life is dance. Without it I don't know what i would do.

My alarm went off. It was only 6:30 in the morning. But, I had to get up and drive over to my dance studio and start warming up and practicing my routine. My dance instructor is really strict.
When I got to the studio, I went to my locker and got my point shoes out. Every day is a different style of dance.

Monday: Jazz

Tuesday: Hip-Hop

Wednsday: Contemporary

Thursday: Tap

Friday: Bollywood

Saturday: Modern

Sunday: Ballet

It took a couple of minutes to put them on. My friend Sarah came in and got hers out. My dance teacher walked in.
"Whats taking you so long!?" She boomed, "everyone else is already out there! Now MOVE!"
"Sorry, Ms. Benitt." Said me and Sarah in unison.

We got out to the ballet room and started warming up. We hold each pose for 60 seconds. It burns at first, but then you get used to it. 1st position, 2nd position, 3rd position, 4th position, 5th position. 5 minutes of warm ups.
Our recitle was in 3 days and we still were having trouble with the group routine for Jazz.
"Alright calss," Ms. Benitt started, "today I have a suprize for you. Instead of doing ballet today we will be working on the group Jazz routine. OK? POSITIONS!" My position was at right stage. I had to lift a 7 year old named Jessica. She was 50 lbs. It was supost to be like we were all in New York and we were going to work. It was VERY fast tempo. My only concern was if i dropped Jessica(again.)
