Last January, my boyfriend and I were returning
from our skiing holiday in Switzerland. We were
on a train to Geneva. Suddenly
the train stopped in the middle of a snowy
field. A few minutes later a conductor
came and explained the train was stuck in the
snow. We all got off and walked through deep
snow to a nearby village, where we were put
in a school building. Some friendly people
immediately brought us hot coffee and
food. After that we slept in the
classrooms. Meanwhile, a snow plough
arrived and dug out our train. 
Eventually we got on the train again
and arrived in Geneva the next day.  
Unfortunately, we'd missed our
flight home. At first, the airline
wanted us to pay the full price of a new ticket.
Fortunately, we managed to
persuade them that the situation was special
and in the end they put us on the
next flight at no extra charge. 
Finally, we arrived home a day later, exhausted
but amused by our adventure.

For me life is a dance. I cannot imagine myself without it. Every movement, swing, turn, makes the world brighter.

I have been dancing since I was 5. And it is passion of my life. At first, I danced ballroom dancers. It is very beautiful and elegant. Dress, heels, hair - what could be more beautiful? Before going on a stage, you feel excitement. But once the music starts to play, once there is a great desire to come out and shows to all that you are capable. And exit. Crowds of people are watching your every movement, a smile. And it is a true happiness.

Now I dance hip-hop. Hip-hop is a youth subculture that originated in the mid-1970 among African Americans and Hispanics. It is characterized by its own music (also known as hip-hop, rap), its slang, its own hip-hop fashion, dance styles. By the beginning of 1990, the hip-hop has become part of youth culture in many countries. I am trying myself to think what movements use, speaking in the language of dance. And what is with this comes out. We travelled with our band at the international festival Oskoldans, which left a lot of impressions, memories. When we arrived home, we long bored about the atmosphere, about the holiday. These were unforgettable 3 days!

Dance and enjoy the fact that you are doing. Believe me, there are no such people who cannot dance. Try, you must succeed. And for someone dance will be a part of the life. Dance to live!
ПЕРЕВОД
Для меня жизнь - это танец. Не представляю себя, без него. Каждое движение, взмах, поворот, делает мир ярче.

Я танцую с 5 лет. И это увлечение всей моей жизни. Сначала я танцевала бальные танцы. Это очень красиво и изящно. Платье, каблук, прическа - что может быть более прекрасней?! Перед выходом на сцену, тебя переполняет волнение. Но как только начинает играть музыка, сразу появляется большое желание, выйти и показать на все что ты И вот выход. Толпы людей смотрят за каждым твоим движением, улыбкой. И это настоящее счастье.

Сейчас я танцую хип-хоп. Хип-хоп - молодёжная субкультура, появившаяся в середине 1970-х в среде афроамериканцев и латиноамериканцев. Для неё характерны своя музыка (также называемая хип-хоп, рэп), свой сленг, своя хип-хоп мода, танцевальные стили .К началу 1990-х г. хип-хоп стал частью молодёжной культуры во многих странах мира. Я сама пытаюсь придумывать какие то движения, говорящие на языке танца. И что то с этого выходит. Мы со своей группой ездили на международный фестиваль Осколданс, который оставил массу впечатлений, воспоминаний. Когда мы приехали домой, долго скучали по той атмосфере, празднику. Это были 3 незабываемые дня!

Танцуйте и получайте удовольствие от того, что вы делаете. Поверьте, нет таких людей, которые не умеют танцевать. Попробуйте, у вас обязательно получится. И может у кого то Танец станет частью жизни. Танцуй, чтобы жить!
