The Journey: Dance Update 4

I started this post a long time ago and I'm just now getting around to finishing it.  I was going to tell you about how my dance program at NCCU was going after the first couple of weeks but now we're near the end of the semester so I have much more to share with you.  Classes started August 17th and are about to end in a few weeks! I hit some bumps along the way and thought about quitting a couple of times but I hung (and am still hanging) in there. I'm really grateful that God led me to NCCU because I really think he wanted me to meet my Jazz and Contemporary dance teacher, Ms. J.  That lady is so amazing! She has been so encouraging and helpful.  She has challenged me and pushed me to keep working towards my goal. I really have never worked so hard at anything in my life.  Being in her class just makes you want to go hard.  My classmates and many of the girls in my dance group have been phenomenal as well.  They have been encouraging and helpful to me when it comes to learning the technique and sequences in class.  I have been to so many dance shows this semester, I've had the privilege of attending a workshop given by Dayton Contemporary Dance Company and I have connected with other dancers/dance studios in the community.  I'm so excited to learn more and get to know more people.

I want this blog to be reflective of my progression over the course of my dance journey so below is a video from my Jazz I class.  We had to record ourselves for our self assessments and critique our videos; this is how mine went lol
