Well im new to the forums. My name is Emily. I'm a teenager living in Washington State. I LOVE to dance and I don't know why! Lol. I like ballet mixed with Hip Hop, I like plain Hip Hop, and I like bboying (breakdancing), so yeah I'm a tomboy ;) . And no, I've never taken a dance class - yet you could be amazed by the way i move, ;) I am hoping to soon start some hip hop dance classes, though!

I don't exactly know why i love dancing, but i do. I plan on going to a dance college for at least 2 years after I get my DVM (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) degree. Or maybe while I get this, not sure yet, lol.

I love animals, I have 9 rabbits, 2 dogs, 1 horse, 5 cats, 4 fish....and the herd continues to grow!

I absolutely love choreography. I love teaching my friends and family cool dances and just having fun. I usually make up a dance, then forget it, and I can usually make up several dances to the same song....lol. It takes me LOADS of time to remember the certain dance steps and put it to a song if i'm just working alone, otherwise when I have a group of people I usually know what I'm wanting to do, etc. I have taught my sister, and 2 nephews and neice some really cool moves.

I have a 5 year old nephew who can bboy like no other. He is great at bboying and he absolutely loves it. :) I swear I didn't teach him anything! He just knows how to move! Lol.

So yeah, that's me. lol. I'm pretty much like everyone else here, I would hope, because I just love to strut. lol.

Hello again! Thanks for all the welcomes! :)

I just thought I'd update you alls on my progress.
I haven't done dancing since like last weekend, and when i danced I was trying to make up a really cool routine to a song called Low by Flo-Rida and another one to Bout It Instrumentals (by Yung Joc, ft. 3LW)

Well I injured my ankle this past Tuesday, so looks like dancing is done for QUITE some time. I can walk on my foot and all, just it's that if I jump (like on a trampoline), run, etc. it hurts. Basically what I did was I rolled it. I stepped on a tennis ball in PE in school and my ankle got MAJORLY sprained/twisted.

So until my ankle heals up nicely, I won't be able to finish what was gonna be the awesomest dance of my time! Lol. jk. It was gonna be cool though.

Thanks guys! I was able to put in a small workout just now, probably just about 4 minutes in length. Just freestyle, no music, but it was for the ballet solo in my routine. It was actually very good, except I already forgot the moves somewhat! My ankle is doing well, I've had a brace on it since I sprained it. It usually only hurts when I run, jump on the trampoline or put lots of weight/pressure on it.

It's sort of hurting right now; probably shouldn't have been using that leg for my turns! :( But anyhow, I'm off to bed....well to watch videos on YouTube, more like it!
