Dance Could Be Very Stressful


Most people think that dance is just about having fun, well being a competitive dancer isn’t always about fun and play. This week has been very stressful for me. Not only do I have finals to study for and papers to write I also have competition this weekend. The competition is "All American" and it is being held in Jersey. Even though i have very stressed out I am very excited because me and my friends always end up doing very well and having a good time. Usually the week before competition is very hectic. Everyone gets very nervous and our dance teachers stress out over the smallest things which does not make it any better.

The teachers mostly stress out about making sure we all have each piece to our customs and make sure they fit right. Being in six dances is a lot to remember so I have to make a check list of what I need for each dance so that when I pack my bag the night before I don’t forget anything for the competition. I have to make sure I have each custom with the jewelry and the right dance shoes I need for each specific dance. Being a dancer teaches you to be organized something which I need to work on. Since we have competition this weekend my dance teachers called extra practices because they feel we need it. I have been so stressed out and I feel bad because I have a bad habit of taking it out on my mom. I have been answering her very nasty when she asks me a simple question. I just been so busy with finals and papers and work and dance so all I do is run around and I don’t have any time for myself so I tend to take it out on my mom. I really just can’t wait for this weekend to be over and for the start of my relaxing summer to be started.
