What I was New At
By: Bailee Lewis

I was new at a lot of things, were you? This is what I was at, dance practice. Well, to began, I have been dancing since I was 2 years old. My first day there was fantastic! I was shy and didn’t know anything. So my friend helped me learn. Her name is Okmaitate, this is an African name.

My teachers taught us how to dance. Their names were Ms. Lynn and Ms. Brazion. They told me I had potential. So they put me on the front row in the recital. It was great! The name of the song was “Hot Chocolate,” It’s kind of a boggy song, kind of a slow too.

Our costumes were pink and had a big bow on the back. It was our tap dance. The front row was amazing, but for the rest of the dances I was on the second or third row. It was okay, but this is what I didn’t get at all. Why wasn’t I on the front row on all of them?

So this is what I was new at, dance. It was fun, but I was shy. I got to be on the front row which was amazing, oh guess what; I had the best year ever!
