My Time on Performing Dance Company: Kalli Elmer

It's crazy that this year has gone by so fast and we have done so much! This year has been my favorite, not only because of the dances and the activities. But because of the girls on our team. Joining dance company was the best decision I've ever made because not only have my dancing improved but also I made so many new friends who became like sisters to me. One thing that sets us apart from any other dance program in our school is that we may not be able to do 6 turns in a row, but we know how to feel in a dance. We learn how to have musicality and properly express out feelings through our movement. Another thing I like about Dance Company is the variety of our dances. Not only can we kick butt in our hip hop, but we can handle sensitive topics like the Holocaust. Our concerts have a theme and it gives us an opportunity to expand and to have new ideas. I loved being able to choreograph because I have always wanted to do a fun jazzy dance and this semesters theme was perfect. Although I had choreography blocks and changed things a lot, It was totally worth is when I heard the audiences reaction to my dancers. The Last thing that I love is the opportunities that dance company has given me. I have been able to dance and perform in Philadelphia for Nationals, dance with professional companies  and receive scholarships! I wouldn't have been able to accomplish any of that with being apart of dance company. I will miss it and all the girls! LPHS PDC DANCE, DANCE, DANCE *whisper* AWESOME!
