audition and the letter had still not arrived. Was it the best audition of my life? The thought of not getting into the University of North Carolina School of the Arts for my Junior year of high school seemed like an inconceivable possibility. My dance instructor, a retired ballerina, had attended this prestigious school before joining the Boston Ballet company and I aspired to do something similar. Over the past year I had sacrificed my social life to train for the opportunity to be accepted into

I saw a quote on the internet from Danielle La Porte that made me shout out “Yes!” and give wiggly fingers (a PFO tradition that means we support or are excited by what someone has said or done) to! It so clearly has summed up my first two months with Playing For Others: “The bonus of showing up fully in your life is that you inspire others to do the same - you’re doing all of us a favor. Authenticity is a form of service.” Never have I worked with a group of individuals who strive to pull the

I arrived at the Dixon Rec Center in my exercising clothes around 4:05 PM. We said that we would meet up at the area with the couches next to the small food place inside Dixon. About five minutes later, Fatimah came in light training wear and waved to me. We both signed in with our ID cards and went inside. Once Fatimah and I put our jackets and bags away in the lockers, we decided to go to the treadmills on the second floor. Right before we got to the treadmills, I spotted a gym equipment that looked

This was the day I had been practicing for. I was finally on live TV! In the middle of our dance, my handicap radio piece made me wince. The heavy bags of birdshot i must carry make it much harder to dance, but I’ve gotten used to it. I’ve never seen the mask i'm forced to wear, I’ve been told it was extraordinarily ugly, but I don’t know for sure. The 7 other ballerinas and i continue our dance, but an incredibly loud sound interrupted it. Another ballerina and I collapse onto the floor, it sounded

in education theories. Gard’s article about dance is a great example of a current practice in 1933, that seemed to offer way into the male dance aesthetic, being grossly inappropriate now. This is my general thought about using our classroom as a soapbox. Sometimes it’s not appropriate. As I read this article I could see what Shawn was trying to do with his use of dance method.
