Question Posted Thursday July 29 2004, 12:18 am
Hey, I REAALLLLYYYY need help! I'm 15/f and I've had the summer to decide between School activities OR dance company. I'm been doing jazz dance since I was 5. I did track last year and I loved it also. I really cant decide, and i have to figure it out QUICK because I have to sign up for something... these are the good and bad things I can think of for both of them:
DANCE: ive been doing it so long, I love it, performing company is AMAZING, they get to travel for competitions, it would take A LOT of dedication since i'm behind, theres no real garuntee I would get in (but theres a good chance), I would have to be dancing a minimum of 6 hours a week, even when I wanna quit id hafta put on a smile and deal
SCHOOL ACTIVITIES: i'd be doing track waterpolo eco club and dragon boat, id be getting really involved in school, lots of pics in yearbook, more chances for friends, ive never done waterpolo eco club OR dragon boat before so theres no garuntee i'd like it, i dont like my feet, I might not be good since I dont have any experience, when I did track I made a lot more friendships
I cant do both because there isnt enough time. My school also doesnt have a real dance team, it's like a drill type team and Im not into that.
PLEASE HELP ME! TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK I SHOULD DO! IF YOU HAVE ANY IMPUT ON POSITIVE AND NEGITIVE ASPECTS OF ONE THEN SAY IT!! I NEED HELP
thanks for reading!!

The only thing is that it does take up most of your time and it is a huge commitment...if you feel like you can make that commitment and you won't feel bad about not doing all the school activities then defintely go for the dance company. It sounds like dance is your passion, like me, so i would say stick with it. As for making new friends, i'm really really close with most of the people on my dance company-we're like sisters! That's one thing i absolutely love about being part of something like that. [ sweetie_xO's advice column | Ask sweetie_xO A Question ]
xo_Meg_ox answered Thursday July 29 2004, 11:28 am: if i were you, i would stick to the dancing - i know how you feel because i used to do gymnastics for many years, and when i got to high school i kind of wanted to try cheerleading and stuff but i could'nt since gymnastics takes up so much time. anyway, i couldn't part with gymnastics and later that year i tore my acl (knee injury) doing it, and it was horrible for me to have to stop ~ i missed the sport, my team, my coaches, and even just being able to call myself a gymnast and i think i would've missed it just as much if I had quit ~ so my question to you is do you think you would be able to live with not being able to call yourself a dancer?...on the other hand, would it be possible for you to take a year off of dance and go back to it if you wanted to?? maybe you should do eenie meenie minie mo and if you land on one and want to try playing again then you'll know your gut instinct...hmmm hope i helped, but i think i may've just confused you more sry :~/ [ xo_Meg_ox's advice column | Ask xo_Meg_ox A Question ]
hotcheerleader answered Thursday July 29 2004, 11:05 am: If i were u i would just choose what i like the most between school activities or dance. i like to dance and im on the dance team at my school but i also did track and it was really hard to do both for me to. But u should just choose what u like the most.

Colleges are really going to like that you were so involved with school, joining all those clubs and being on the track teams looks great on applications. Your dancing doesnt show how much you could be to the school so they arent that interested in it...
Do what you love.
sp4rklingr4in answered Thursday July 29 2004, 3:07 am: I would stick with dance because there's no guarantee that you'll have more fun doing your school activities. But also because if you do something for a really long time like dance, it looks better on your college application. [ sp4rklingr4in's advice column | Ask sp4rklingr4in A Question ]
