Dance

Watching dance in person is an unforgettable experience. No matter how many different dances you watch on video, there is no substitute for seeing it in person. Observing the technique class and the rehearsal gave me so much insight on how much work is put into each individual dance. It made me realize that dancers are perfectionists and will persistently go over one small part of a dance until it is absolutely perfect. Observing the technique class and rehearsal allowed me to see the dedication the dancers and instructors have to their art. I went to the dance rehearsal first on September 16th. At the rehearsal, the dancers were working on the reconstruction of a piece originally choreographed by José Limón in 1964. José Limón studied with…

I love dance, social media, Taylor Swift, history, and learning new things. I started dance when I was about two years old. I continued doing ballet and tap until I was about ten because I didn't find it fun anymore. However, about two years ago, I watched a show on TV called Dance Academy. It was a fiction show about this ballet school in Sydney, Australia. This was what got me so interested in ballet. Since I was attending a private school, I didn't have the time or the money to start taking…

Dance is a common theme in every culture. It doesn’t require a specific language in order to be understood and can be interpreted in many different ways. However, this subjective point of view can also make it being difficult to convey a specific theme. By combining aspects of music and visual art I can more easily define what emotions and theme I conveying during my performance. Physics must also be taken into account when choreographing. A beautiful movement that contributes to the theme and…

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.” This is particularly true for a group of college students having their spring formal. In comparison to the dances in high school, I watched and observed to see what I could learn about this group of college students. This dance was Manhattan Christian College’s Spring Banquet held for all students and guests of the students. There was a mixture of current students, past…

stamina, balance--dance. When a dancer finds the rhythm that lies inside of his or her heart, they begin using their body as type of communication. Simply as an expression to show the world what they are capable of-- testing their limits of their dance body. When a dancer begins to finds the spark of interest that lies inside of them, they begin to experiment with the newly found rhythm inside of their bodies. A dancer will then begin to work harder to try reach the next goal. Dancing first…

performance of my take on the Elements of Dance theme was satisfactory. Given my condition on the day, I am pleased with my focus during the dance and my overall performance. Three aspects that went really well, in my opinion, would be the intense energy that my partner and I brought onstage, our synchronization while performing, and the evident presentation of the light versus dark theme. Mary and I work well together, but I believe that during the performance, we were able to be immersed in…

competes against another or others for entertainment. Dance can entertain everyone who wants to see us stretching our legs and hitting those perfect turns. I love dance because you have to do all this technical turns and jumps in dance. Because dance is most like other sports and it stretches out your muscles like other sports, dance should be an extra curricular sport that any student can try out for in all schools K-12. First of all, dance should be offered in schools as a sport because…
