Messages from the Stars

I've been a competitive dancer for 10 years. At last year's Hollywood Invitational Nationals Dance competition, I competed with this dance - "Messages from the Stars". I've competed in many solos before, but what made this piece special was that it was a piece I ever choreographed myself. I had even sewed my own gloves for the costume, really trying to make my vision of this piece come true. I was afraid that it wasn't good enough to compete against other professionally choreographed dances. But with enough practices and hard work I was able to surprise myself with unexpected results. At the national dance competition, I was awarded with 1st place in the solo open category, and 9th place solo overall. I was happily surprised and very thankful! In the end, I learned to not underestimate my own skill, artistry and the years of training I had gone through. I was capable of more than I believed myself to be.

Creativity to me means being able to express yourself, your thoughts and emotions through your own perspective as well as thinking about it in different ways.
