So, in my first year, impressed by a friend, i joined the dance club in my university. I started doing latin and I LOVED it. i improved very fast and people were surprised and i think my body is just very convenient for it. i also LOVE being on stage, doing shows, and being watched by people. even seeing other’s dance just wakes a feeling in me that’s like flames.
however, i’ve had a very rough year, preparing for the festivals. there are many things in my life that already make it very hard, i am pretty depressed and my relationship with all friends, including the dance ones, have gone bad. And on top of these, at dance, some people are being very favored because they are friends with the ones on top and choreographers. i worked my a** off, dance better than most and people who are much worse get to always be put forward for EVERYTHING. there are also lots of annoying and stupid people, and almost no one feels genuine anymore. I have been thinking about quitting for so long, but i still love to dance and be on stage during festivals. i ask myself why i force myself to be in a community which gives me stress and annoys me but i also don’t think i could go without the dance and shows. what do you think i should do? have u ever been in a similar situation and if so how did you handle it?
