Dance
My current act of community service is volunteering at my dance studio. Once a week, I go in and teach classes for 2 hours and 15 minute. I teach a variety of children from ages 2-12, and classes from ballet to tap. This volunteer work teaches me how to be a leader, communicate with others, and allows me to be creative. It is so rewarding to watch children grasp what they have been taught and excel in their skill.
Another act of community service is voluntering to work at a pageant. My dance teacher runs a pagent and my team volunteers to work it. I registered contestants, gave directions, and gave out awards. I enjoy volunteering for the pagent because it teaches me communication skills, how to make quick decisions, and leadership skills.

Every October I volunteer at my studio's fall festival. At the fall festival, theres a costume contest, music, and different stations where kids cane arn candy. I work at the bubble station, where kids blow a certain amount of bubbles and I give them candy. I love volunteering for this event, because the kids are so fun to work with.
