**My Interests**

**My Favorite Things** My favorite thing in the world is ballet. I danced ballet for 12 years. Ballet and dance in general allows you to feel invisible against all odds. Your soul and body move together as one creating such an exhilirating feeling that anything is possible.

I am also passionate about music and singing. I am currently taking voice lessons. And I love it. I am hoping to jump start a career in musical theater combining my dancing experience and my new found hobby of song.

With performing arts I also love visual arts. I am a drawer and I love pulling out my sketchbook and drawing beautiful pictures. It takes me out of my body and into a new dimension which helps when I am stressed.

Writing and poetry are other passions I have. I love sitting down with a dictionary and thesarus creating words in a beautiful way to create a picture. Like ballet brings music to life, writing gives life to words.

I also love musicals. To combine singing and dancing together is perfect. It allows two wonderful art forms to create amazing stories and characters.

Photography is wonderful. I never got the opportunity to take a photography class which is devastating to me. It is magical to have the ability to capture a moment in time that can never be repeated.
