OC NEW YEARS CHALLENGE: day #3: in my _ era

dancer

Maia Smith

Maia started ballet at age five and is still at it ten years later. It has grown to be the most important (and most time-consuming) thing in her life. She attends dance classes twice a week and started on pointe a year ago. Maia wants a career as a ballerina and plans to do everything she can to become one knowing that making it in the world of ballet is really hard.

Deirdre O'Connell

Deirdre started out doing a number of different Irish dances as a young girl before specializing in Irish stepdance. Today, she is a high school math teacher and mostly retired from competing. Deirdre teaches stepdance to girls at her local Irish community center.

Annika Gilmore

Annie is six. She takes beginner ballet classes at Miss Patty's School of Ballet, like her sister did before her. Annie thinks ballet is very cool but she's still trying out a lot of interests - she also plays soccer, which she ended up choosing over softball, she loves to read, and she thinks she'd be really good at karate if her mom would just let her learn. Annie is learning about herself and what she likes so it remains to be seen which of her interests will stay with her as she grows up.

Marcus Omar

Marcus is a dance hobbyist. He loves to dance but only does it for fun. Marcus sees it as a great release from the tensions and stresses of being a witch and a werewolf. He dances at home to his record player with his partners. Only one of his partners likes more formal dancing so sometimes he and Annie go out for dinner and ballroom dancing.

Stella Starr

Stella knows she couldn't possibly do anything other than dance, even if ballet is not the place for a nice girl like her and her Aunt Elizabeth forbids it. You could sooner force a tiger to change his stripes as prevent Stella from dancing. She enters the ballet world at an interesting period when the Romantic period is in a state of decline and the Classical period is only just beginning.

Camilo Lockwood

Like his three older sisters, Cam started gymnastics lessons at age six because his mother had to give up gymnastics when she was younger and wanted her children to experience what she didn't have. While Mari moved on to soccer, Dani to ballet and ice skating, and Carly recognized sports weren't for her, Cam grew to love gymnastics, in particular the new field of men's rhythmic gymnastics. He's won a number of competitions and thinks it might be fun to go to the Olympics someday.

Isabelle Meng

Isabelle's mom was a highly successful ballet dancer before she became a lawyer and had Isabelle and her younger sister. People know her mom's name all over the world. She thinks she might want to follow in her mom's footsteps but she isn't entirely sure.

I want more people to know that while the Palestine Olympic team consists of only 8 athletes, at least 69 Palestinian Olympic athletes have been killed since October 2023. This includes athletes who were going to compete in these games and retired athletes such as Majed Abu Maraheel, the first Palestinian Olympian, who died of kidney failure in a refugee camp product of lack of medical treatment.

Remember them during these games.

It's really simple. If you're born with a vagina and you naturally have elevated testosterone levels, you're a man. If you have a vagina and you take testosterone, you're a woman. But also if you have a vagina, you'll never be a man. But also if you have higher testosterone then you were never a woman. Woman never yes man a vagina testosterone no was an elevated. Vagina man.
