Pirouette Into the Shadows of Ballet
This piece originated from a project in my Magazine Writing course at UCSB. It takes the form of an interview, where I had the opportunity to delve into my housemate Chloe's experiences with ballet over the years. Through our conversation, she shared not only the highlights of her journey but also the trials and tribulations she encountered along the way. As a writer, this interview holds a special place for me. It showcases a different aspect of my writing style—one that's more personal and narrative-driven. Exploring Chloe's passion for ballet and the challenges she faced allowed me to craft a compelling narrative that resonates with readers. It's one of my favorite writing samples because it captures a unique perspective and showcases my ability to tell a story through the lens of someone else's experiences.
