The Legend

In every sport you do or every activity there will always be someone that is at the top, or can be called the legned. Well in this blog today I will be talking about the most placed overall dancer, Miss Cherisse Ligot. She is currently 27, she is Flipino with Hawaiian ancestry. She has placed in every competition that she has been in, over 20 awards. She currently dances for a group in Anaheim called Nonosina. There are many videos of her and her dancing, and I will like to show you one of two of them

Girl from Ipanema

As you can see my title is Girl from Ipanema, I have a story behind that. So here's a story about the title of my blog. It was a Thursday night at practice, doing the daily warmups for practice, time went by and we went into our Auhora dance. An Auhora is a type of dance like a Tahitian hula but with some Tahitian moves, and more modern. But back to the story we had to go up two at a time. So we watched girls go up and watch them perform. It was my turn to go and the song I had to dance was Girl from Ipanema, so while I dancing that started talking about me and how I am the girl in the song. This is what they said about me, "Marisa will be the Girl from Ipanema like the girl in the song is loved by a guy and she's kinda "UNTOUCHABLE" and she 's not giving the guy what he wants, just saying that your the girl in the song  cause your so pretty and boys always think your pretty (: and that you just make sure you don't get caught up up with boys or listen to advice from the older girls about boys" That's why I use the song Girl From Ipanema my title because I am known as that. I wish I could add a song, but I really don't know how. Sorrry. Oh here's an original picture of the Girl from Ipanema
