It was a fiction show about this ballet school in Sydney, Australia. This was what got me so interested in ballet. Since I was attending a private school, I didn't have the time or the money to start taking ballet again. I didn't let that stop me from dancing.

As the lively music played for those dancing in the spotlight, I waited in the wings, nerves jumping in my stomach. Every little movement would be seen from the peering eyes of the audience. Preparation for this role was packed into a few weeks, and both the honor of earning this part and the pressure of performing well accumulated on my shoulders. Originally, I had an ensemble part with the rest of my dance class, only understudying for role of Autumn, one of the four soloist positions offered in Milwaukee Ballet School’s Spring Showcase, Snow White.…

    For this essay, I will be taking a look at many different passages from the bible which either inhibits or encourages dance. I will be taking into account how Bethel feels about the experience, and lastly my personal beliefs of the topic, and how we as stewards need to encounter the secular and holy world. I will begin this essay with a verse from Ecclesiastes 3:4 which states, “There is a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance(Bible).” The Bible Itself is a well-respected popular holy text for Christians, and non-Christians alike. The Bible has multiple views on how one should live the life we are given here on earth.…
