Hello to everybody!This is my first article so please be tolerant with me...cause i'll try to express how i feel about dance generally...

I started ballet when i was 4 years-old.In fact i didn't know what was ballet,but i liked it.The years were passing and i kept going to the lessons.Now i'm in an age that i can't leave without the dance in my life and i'm not talking only about ballet,but and for others kind of dance...!

When i dance i really feel free,like no one can harm me.This feeling is so perfect,although i think that every dancer feel like this,but isn't so great?If you just imagine the picture of you in an empty room and the music to play,you will see that you want to stand up and start dancing!!Am i right?

Dance for me is like breath and i truly can't imagine my life without dance!In this part of my life i try to be a theacher for ballet and contemporary dance!I hope i make it...i want it so much..!So wish me luck and i hope you like my thoughts...!;)

My experience with The Nutcracker started when I was four years old. On Christmas Eve that year, my parents took me to see Oregon Ballet Theatre's production of The Nutcracker, thinking of course that it would be a fun thing for me to see. I remember little of it now, just a vague impression of people dancing and pastel colors; however, I do remember the Sugar Plum Fairy. In her pink tutu and wand, she captured my four-year-old heart. My mom has since told me that the first thing i said when the performance was “I want to be in The Nutcracker some day.” Though my parents didn't know it at the time, those seven words would prove to be life changing.

For my next birthday, my parents gave me ballet lessons as a present. I started that year at OBT, in the “creative movement” (now known as pre-ballet) class. I can't say that in that first year I did much that could be considered dancing, it was more running around with scarves to music, but I loved it. As I moved up in the school, the dancing became more challenging and we started learning the names of steps and positions. Using terms like plié, tendu, développé, and changement all became second...
