# Opdracht 1: A dancer's life

### A dancer’s life

Priya

I work as a dancer, and I’m also studying part-time. I practise most days and have to do my college work, so I can’t always go out with my friends at weekends, but that’s fine. We text each other every day. I mostly dance in musicals, but in the future I’m hoping to start jazz dance. My mum always comes to watch me on stage. She’s my biggest fan! Being a dancer isn’t easy, but I want to do it as long as I can.

There are dancers of all ages in my dance company and every year we go on international tours together. My cousin also dances with me. She’s been a dancer for seven years and people everywhere know her now. She was a jazz dancer in the past, but loves what we do now. I don’t usually feel worried before I dance in front of others – I know I’m good! But that’s only because I try so hard. I spend about three hours dancing every day.

I come from a family of dancers so maybe it’s not surprising I’m one too. I’m in a hip-hop group at the moment, but actually I can dance to any music – even jazz! I’m the youngest member of my dance group. Before each show, I think of everything that might go wrong, but I try hard to tell myself it’ll all be OK. We dance all over the country, so I’m away from home almost every day and I miss my friends a lot.
