Some kids want to be a fire fighter, or a police officer, or an astronaut when they grow up. But 13-year-old Adrienne Kerr always wanted to be a ballerina, as far back as she can remember. And she's a kid who really works hard at fulfilling her dream, Here's what she shared with the Journal:
Dance makes me light up inside. It's way to express my feelings. It's beauty. It's just something that I really love to do.
I started taking dancing lessons at age three. I liked it so much that I didn't want to stop. Eventually I started taking more classes, and I was invited to join a local dance company. But it wasn't until I was nine years old that I really said, "OK, I'm gonna do this, and I'm going to have to work really hard." That's when I started Cecchetti training, which is a technique-based teaching method that includes exams on ballet theory and practice.
