My Outlet

I have ADD and as a kid I was often very hyper.  I started taking dance classes at the age of four because it was a way for me to use up my extra energy while simultaneously having a ton of fun.  I found that I really enjoyed dancing and I never stopped.  I have taken ballet, tap, jazz, hip-hop and even ballroom.  I performed in many dance recitals as a kid.  I am also a big theater geek.  In high school I joined the theater club and got myself into the Thespian sosiety.  I went to a sleepaway camp for special needs children four summers in a row.  Every summer they put on a musical and I was always in it.  I never had a very big part but it didn't really matter just being a part of it was fun for me.  When we auditioned they would always ask us what we would like to do for the show (i.e. acting, singing, dancing , playing a certain instrument).  I generally said that I would be happy with any part I was given but I would prefer to be on stage instead of behind the scenes.  One year they were doing King and I.  I decided to give my usual response but I also mentioned the fact that I danced.  They created a special part "king's royal court performers" and there were nine or ten of us but I got to work with another girl as the leads of the group.  I got a mini solo in the middle of one of the group performances and she got a whole song solo.  She was definately better then me.  Then when I went to my first college I was on the dance team.  That was a lot of fun.  I was pretty impressed with the solo I coreographed for my audition since it was definatly a little different.  Currently I take ballroom classes at my current school with my boyfriend.  At the end of each semester there is a ball and we have done some interesting performances.  We did a swing, a hustle, a chacha and our next performance will be a waltz.

Sorry for rambling sometimes it's hard to shut me up once I start talking. I also hope I didn't get too far off topic.
