Break Dance Club (C, A, S)

I joined breakdance club in Grade 11 to challenge myself and for self development. This is because historically, I had always been really bad at dancing, and I had always disliked all my dance classes at school; I didn't like dancing. So I went into break dancing with the mindset of being open and trying something new. While I struggled greatly to learn most moves due to a lack of coordination, and was slower than most of the class, I persisted throughout 11th grade. I also found that to be a good breakdancer, one needed to have good physical strength and stamina, I would constantly find myself not strong enough to perform some freezes or run out of breath from dancing too long. Eventually I was able to start incorporating some of my own stylistic elements into the dancing and blend some elements of gymnastics and shuffling into the mix to make my own unique dancing style. While I didn't like performing our breakdancing to the school during events, I found the dance practices to be rather fun.
