To a dancer, your hero is someone who inspires you. It could also be just someone you look up to for judgement and advice. A dancer's hero doesn't have to have some kind of huge achievement list, but it's best for them to be a good teacher. A great example of a hero to me is a dance teacher you trust. My ballet teacher, Ms. Katherine, and the owner of our studio, Ms. Dianna, are people I personally trust to tell me what I'm doing correctly and incorrectly and also how to make myself a better dancer as well as a better person. The two of them, along with many other teachers and people I call heroes (my mom, my youth minister, even God), have disciplined me into the person that I am today. They have taught me to be strong person with a tough skin as well as teaching me self-control and gracefulness.
As well, I have the opinion that a hero should also possess the qualities they are trying to convey to other people. For example, if a hero wants to relate courage to people that look up to them, they should possess that same courage. They need to set a good example themselves. Also, everyone makes mistakes. I believe that a true hero would admit their mistakes instead of lying about them to make themselves look better. Lastly, I believe that all heroes should be honest and fair. Without those qualities, who would want to look up to them?
