Hi everyone! My name is Clarice Faith Ordaz. I'm 18 years old and a freshman and dance major at Long Beach State. School is a pretty big challenge for me, but I try to attack it with all I've got. I have austere parents and a 13 year genius sister whom make my situation a little more tense, but I still try. But the most important information about myself that I would like you to understand is that I am a dancer.
First off, let me just say that dancers are very often misunderstood and stereotyped. So no, I'm not bulimic or anorexic, my favorite color is not pink, and I'm not super peppy. Also, there are so so so many styles of dance - some of which I don't even study. Therefore, throughout this blog I will be enlightening you about various styles and techniques of dance, as well as talking about how my days usually run and how dance is a huge part of my life.
I'm going to leave my first blog posting with a video of the high school dance team I was on for four years. It's a video of us competing at Nationals last year, and the style of this kind of dance is called pom. If you have no idea what I am talking about, no worries, because I will explain this and more in my next blog that I will be posting tomorrow.
Enjoy. :]
Love your type of dance, it reminds me of a dance team I was once in, it's called Military Drill Team, I also love dancing, it may look like it's so easy to do sometimes, but remembering every count in not easy and then having to move with the beat just adds to it. I know that this type of dance takes up a lot of practice, many falls and bruises, and extreme flexibility, but at the end, when you are able to see your performance as a team and when they announce your team as one of the top winners, it makes all the practices and hard work worth it. Hope of reading your next post. =]
