Many people take dancing lessons for only a short time; but Junior Michele Ramos is a . . . A REAL TROUPER - I 1 - Ta da! Michele dances al the 1987 Santa Clara County Fair. She has been performing with her troupe at the fair for six years. It is a fun ex- perience. We get to perform before many people, and the cos- tumes aren't bad ei- ther! Photo provided by Michele Ramos. I’s unreal. ' It's a high. It's magical.” These are not comments about drugs, love or surfing but words Michele Ramos uses to de- scribe her dancing. Michele, a ju- nior, has been dancing since she was three. One day my parents took me to my friend's recital. It looked like fun, so I wanted to try it, too!” Michele asked her parents if she could take dance lessons and has been dancing ever since. She attended her friend's studio until a lack of transportation forced her to switch studios. She discovered that her new studio was not ad- vanced and quit dancing for six months. One day, after she resumed her studies, a friend invited her to visit Carol McCallum's dance studio. There Michele saw a superiority of dance instruction lacking elsewhere. She joined the McCallum troupe and has been there since. It's hard to describe my feelings when I dance,” said Michele, but I forget all my problems. I totally con- centrate on dancing, nothing else. I can make somebody smile, and that makes me feel I have really accom- plished something. People who have seen Michele dance agree that she is talented. Tri- cia McCallum, the studio owner's daughter, asserted, Michele is an excellent dancer and has natural tal- ent; she has dedicated years to her credit.” Michele's friend Shawn Conroy, who has seen her perform numerous times, concurred with Tricia's assess- ment. She seems to have improved even more, recently. She is good enough to make it to the pros if she continues. Michele, however, does not want dancing as a career. I would have to devote all my time to it if 1 were to consider it. Nevertheless, she has sacrificed much free time for her love. Now, it has all paid off for her. She is a varsity song girl and has per- formed in the variety show with her dance troupe, the California Star- lights. Despite all the terpsichorean activities, Michele has maintained a 3.85 GPA and participated in many activities including all the language clubs, MESA. IRC, KSTS, CSF, FBLA, Drama club, and Supreme Court. Her enchantment with dancing has brought more than magic to her life. By Kalinda Ukanwa. People ,T92
