JAZZ

I know that all my other posts have been about my passion for soccer, but I thought that maybe I should also write about my other passions. One of them is jazz. I’ve been dancing since I was little, but stopped many times. I started when I was about 3 years old, but in that time I used to dance ballet. I stopped when I was about five because all of my friends also quit, so I didn’t want to be left behind. Later on when I was about 11 years old or 12 I joined the dance academy, Dance Works Costa Rica in Trilogia. I started in the group “turquesa” which is beginners. I dance through the entire year and at the end in December or November we had a show with the whole academy. The next year I skipped “rojas” and joined “lilas” that was advanced. With the lilas I went to the DEA(dance educators of America) in which we had tap, ballet and jazz classes with educators of America. Then the fourth day we had the competition in which I danced with the song “Hollywood.” Our academy had 10 choreographies and many won platinum or gold. My dance got silver =(. After the DEA I quit jazz. Last year in April I started dancing again at the same academy. I had the choice to join “azules” that is beginners or join “grises” which is intermediate II I danced through the entire year and then at the end of the year we had the academy show/presentation. This year I was supposed to start with the “vino” which is intermediate III, but the academy put me with the “negras” which are the advanced, before the “compañia”. The compañia is the one that represents the academy in other countries, specially in the US. It is divided into three groups; compañia senior, teen and junior. I think I have been doing a great job with the negras. This Sunday the acadmeny has a family day, and all the groups are supposed to do their own dance. So we hope that ours is the best with the song “Low”!!!
