Tap dance

Last Saturday, Julia Chigamba and her family presented an unforgettable dance performance on campus. Julia Chigamba came from Zimbabwe which is a beautiful country in South Africa. She was invited to many places to performance and teach people how to dance. After watching the dance, I believed there was something special in her dance which could make people feel refreshed and energetic. These dance all described about daily scenes in Zimbabwe for example how women do the chores, how men go out…

Native American Pow-wow Pow-wow is the traditional dance in which the Native American people dress traditional, colorful clothes. They dance and sing in a circle around the drum for celebrating fellowship, renewal and healing. Today we can hear the beat of the drum resound in Oklahoma. Pow-wow is from Indian Territory, Native Americans, and tribal groups. Pow-wow is Indian gathering of many tribes and intertribal blend of the old and the new. In the Pow-wow a non-Indian might see the power and…

fascinated with having a career in the healthcare field. It is difficult for a person to know whether or not they are capable of doing something unless they are given a chance to be put in that situation. I thought that I could not dance or, if I did, I would dance like a rock according to my…

One of the most incredible video that I watched to complete a Dance Observation assignment for Dance class is the video of: “Wade in the Water from “Revelations” by Alvin Ailey Company. This video was published on YouTube on November 25, 2007 and performed at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. This video is very beautiful and impressive at the first time I saw it. Then I keep watching it again to really focus on the detail of very movement and sections. The dancers presented a movement of…

something out of my comfort zone sing and dance. I knew this was going to be a challenge but I was willing to do it. As a little girl I loved to dance, there wasn't a party I didn't dance at I considered myself to be pretty good at dancing. Then as I grew up and I realised that I wasn't as good anymore I slowly felt like I had forgotten to Dance. So when family parties came around I would never dance even if I really wanted too, I didn't want to look dumb trying to dance. I didn't want to be…

After cheering at my Cheerleading gym for a couple years I have known the existence of a special needs cheer team. I have always had an interest in helping out other teams in my gym. In the November of 2015, my father had received an email reaching out to the athletes for help on the special needs team at the gym . At first I was hesitant because I didn’t know any of the people on the team, the coaches personally, and other athletes that were going to help. I went to the first practice not…

my personality and lifestyle. In elementary school dancing was my passion, it is to this day, but in a different genre. I auditioned for the dance team at my soon to be high school, Presentation. Sadly, to my family’s and my surprise, I did not make it on. I was completely devastated and felt lost; I had no clue what I was going to do in high school. Dance was my life and it was what I wanted to continue through high school. Not one to dwell I picked myself up and focused on my first semester of…

Ebony was in the grassy green field, dancing in the dusk afternoon. Her warm smile and light hair matched the bright, sinking sun that was watching her. The autumn leaves were being carried away by the gentle breeze flowing through the air. The pumpkins in the field were showing off their beautiful orange skin. To Ebony, this autumn day was perfect. She kept on dancing to her heart’s content. That is until she stopped when she could not see herself anymore. Was I really dancin’ for that long?…

have overcome numerous situations with varying degrees of challenges. The most memorable was making my high school dance team. I viewed the challenge of making the team differently than the most average of dancers trying out. I had to work even harder than they did to make the team because my experience was less than average. At first, my observation of the other contenders dance skills terrified me causing enormous waves of self-consciousness. If I were to conquer this feat, it was essential…

There I am, stuck in the middle of a room filled with strangers. I scann the room looking for familiar faces, but mostly for good looking fellows. This is the life changing experience I’ve been waiting for, I think to myself. This is Freedom Academy. Kids throughout the entire state gather together for a week ran by the National Guard at a real army camp. My shaking leg bounces up and down from not only the excitement, but the nervous feelings in my stomach. I made sure to come extra early…
