THeBaLLeRiNa's Bio

Hi there! My name is Afnan, but you can also call me Aim, Affy or Anne. LOL I'm 17 years old and I live in the Philippines.

I love dancing so much, especially ballet! I've been dancing ballet for 3 years. Despite being a late starter, I'm happy to say that I'm in a level where dancers have been dancing for 5 years or more. I'm really thankful for that because I'm really working hard to become better everyday!

Now that I'm in college, I'm trying to work even harder - and even better because I can only take one ballet class a week now. It's driving me mad! But, I can't do anything about it because the campus is far away from the studio. I hate it! So now, all I can do is give my very best during class and practice in the dorm when I'm free.

I got my first pair of pointe shoes 6 or 7 months after I started ballet and now I'm trying to improve dancing en pointe. I've been on pointe for about a year and a half more or less. (Sadly, I take only few pointe classes.) I want so much to be really good! Determination and Passion go together.

Aside from ballet, I also do jazz dance and hip hop. Someday, I'd like to do tap, too...and maybe even tango!

I admire a lot of ballerinas. Iana Salenko, Polina Semionova, Darcey Bussell, Gillian Murphy, and Diana Vishneva are my favorites.

Iana Salenko

We'll be having a fund-raising concert (in ballet, jazz dance and hip hop) for kids who have cancer. I hope it goes well because I'd really like to help them. It feels good that we can help them through the talents God blessed us with. God bless them! <3

The Ocean is Full of Life!

If you could spend a day under the sea, you would find everything from kelp to coral, turtles to tuna, sharks to seals, and much more.

You would also find a lot of something else - TRASH.

This trash, known as marine debris, hurts the ocean and everything that lives there. But life on land depends on healthy oceans too! People are the only ones who can help.

Click on this link to find out how we can help the ocean, after all, the ocean also helps us:

Keep Oceans Clean! Help the Ocean!

Please spread the word and forward this message. The Ocean needs our help!!!

Thank You, Jesus for giving me the gift of dance. Please help me nurture it, develop it, master it and share it with the world. I prayerfully offer my dancing to You. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
