One of my passions that started since I was little, is dancing. Right now I am doing Hip Hop, Ballet, and jazz twice a week for three hours. My dancing passion started when I was three years old, and my mom decided to put me in ballet classes. I stayed in those classes for about two year, which I loved because I felt as a princess. I started dancing flamenco, which is a very popular dance from Spain, at the age of four. My mom had also danced flamenco since she was little and loved it so decided to make me dance it  too. I think from all the different types of dances I have done, flamenco is my favorite, even though its sometimes really hard, and fast I just love the music and the steps that come with it. I was in flamenco for eight year, till my family and I moved to Canada. When I got to Canada I did an audition to de in a program called ITP (intensive training program) which went I had to go every day after school to my dance academy, and stay their doing jazz, ballet, and hip hop till 7:00 pm. I was their for two years, until I moved back to Costa Rica and decided to keep dancing in a place where several of my friends were , but I felt as if I wasn’t advancing because we always did the same steps and routines. So I moved to another academy, and I am pretty happy their. Dancing is one of my passions that I started since I was little, eventhough sometimes I get bored and don’t want to go to my classes, I hope I will keep dancing.                                                         6284flamenco-dancer-i-posters.jpg                                                         This is a flamenco dancer. To dance flamenco you have to have rythom and put passion to the steps you are doing.                                                            ballet_v1_400.jpg This is a ballet dancer. Ballet is very elegant, and the steps are soft and delicate.                                                           jazz-1.jpg This is a picture of some girls doing jazz. Jazz is a mixture of many dances such as tap, and ballet. Jazz is faster and you have to move a lot, and you also need to be flexible because as you can see in the picture above you will need it for the steps you do.  This is a flamenco video  This is a ballet video This is a jazz video
