The day I was 3 years old the beginning of my dream. On that day, after seeing the Capital Dancing Company performance, I , “Mama, when I grow up, I’m going to be one of those.”
As I grow older, my in the world of dance changed, but that little girl’s dream of someday becoming a in the company never left me. In 2005, aged 18, I received the phone making that dream come true: I became a member of the company.
When I looked on that day now, I believe I stayed in a state of disbelief until I was asked to rehearsal (排练). Though I was entirely excited with the offer, it did not come without . Through the strict and hard rehearsal, I found it important to myself to learning the skills fast with every bit of concentration(注意力集中). It is the extreme to detail (细节) and stress on practice that help us . Then comes a show schedule of up to five performances a day, I found a new of the words “HARD WORK”. The practice pushed me forward than I thought . I learnt to make each performance better than the last. Besides, the teachers not only teach us skills but help us a lot in daily life when we are in trouble.
Today, as a member and dance captain in the unbelievable company, I see a that has encouraged not only little girls but a wonderful company that to develop and grow and encourage people every day to their dreams.
