Dance According To Me Analysis

Ballet “Cry” simply showed to us real life of all African women. Every single American people know what kind of life they went through. Therefore it touched their heard. Alvin Ailey’s “Cry” presented wonderfully combined movements, technique and emotion. Ms. Donna Wood uses tragic face, a mask of sorrow. It is a face born to cry, but when she smiles it is with an innocent radiance, joyfulness that simple and lovely. She never tries consciously to please an audience. He was not only concentrating in movements and physical performance, but also using flowing white gown

“The Best Dancer” is filled with many different themes. One theme that is demonstrated is to never have too much selfishness and never be too overconfident. In the text it states, “She looked down. The earthworms she had collected in the morning were draped across her shoulders… Sally winked at her. “Nice try”, she mouthed. Sally got the lead that year.” This is a crucial moment because it shows that Annabelle boasted too much, and so Sally figured out her plan and it backfired on Annabelle. This quote helps us understand that being boastful would only turn against you, and the same with being overconfident. It shows the importance of being content with you talents and not making others feel bad. Therefore, it is evident that “The

My last self assessment paper I mentioned that my goals for next semester were to improve my balance, be really solid with my French vocabulary, using all of my technique with every move. I am very pleased that I do strongly feel that I have achieved all of these goals! When thinking about what I feel like I improved on the most it has to be balancing, especially on relevé. This is something that truly came from repetition and making a conscious effort to do better every time I attempted to do this. I remember the day this semester that I was balancing on relevé in retire and was so surprised at how well it was going. This is not something that I can do perfectly every time yet but I have come leaps and bounds since I began ballet and even

The dance that I will be focusing on is entitled: thinking sensing standing feeling object of attention. The dance, to me, symbolizes the socialization of persons in Western civilization concerning gender roles. In the beginning there are gestures that are separated from emotion and full-embodiment, but as the dance progresses the gestures become more meaningful and recognizable. The lighting starts out very specific and narrow, then the light encompasses the entire stage, and eventually the dancers are silhouetted as they return to a familiar movement motif in the end. The music is mainly instrumental with occasional soft female vocals, and the lyrics suggest emotion, which is interesting because the dancers do not convey emotion until

My personal aesthetic in the terms of dance extends far beyond mentioning what I like and what I dislike. It unfolds the layers of my personality, my style, and my past experiences. I tend to think of aesthetics in the form of a jigsaw puzzle. Within a puzzle there are hundreds of important pieces that fit together to make a grand image and each puzzle piece requires a process of development and self-discovery. My aesthetic puzzle pieces include confidence, vulnerability, dynamic, high energy, illusion, and emotional connection. Most of my aesthetic is initiated by personal preference or a significant event in my life, but I will start with the foundation of my dance training first. I was raised in the dance studio where I regularly practiced ballet, jazz, tap, musical theatre, and contemporary. I was blessed to have the opportunity to explore multiple genres of dance at a young age and as a result of this, I began my aesthetic development with a very versatile palette of movements and interpretations.

I Hope You Dance by Mark D. Sanders is about taking chances in life. He is telling you no one can tell you what you are worth in life cause in the end that’s up to you. Take chances be bold don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, you are in control of your life not someone else. I believe that this would be a wonderful song to play for the unwinds in their final moments. It would be a reminder to them that even though their life was short they truly lived. Even with the end drawing ever closer they would know that when one door closes another one opens for them. Maybe not in their current state but they would still have a chance to live in the lives of others ensuring that they could continue on and take risks again.

I surprised myself earlier this semester when having our interactive dance demonstration with professor Leslie Elkins. Considering that my sister has been highly involved with dance for as long as I can remember and is now studying dance on a university level, I figured that I’d find this event an interesting way to better understand my sister at the very least. By nature, I’d generally deem myself as an introvert who’d never willingly dance in front of peers. However, there are times where something unexplainable overcomes my habitual social anxieties, leading me to do things that I wouldn’t think to be part of my character. This was one of those times.

When it comes to contextual analysis and dance history, we can see how dance connects emotions, stories, and new movement creations together. I feel that these aspects are a key concept to understand within this course. This is needed in order to understand how dance is performed and connected. For example, when we view a dance, we can see how the dancers body language emphasize the movements being shown. Also, we can see elements from other dance forms  within other styles of dance. For example, within modern dance, we can see similar foot positions and circular arm structures similar to the style of ballet. Modern dancers take these aspects of ballet by molding them into an emotional story or piece to emphasize a common theme. Through using

I am a cruel person who fierce nothing but God. I am the kind of person who does his job without asking. I am a person who would do anything for his country. I was the youngest person who was sent to fight outside the US. I always help my partners no matter what. Laziness is what I hate. I do not like resting, but I love working. I used to wake up every day with one goal, helping my

A common misconception about dance is that you must undergo training in order to be considered proficient. This is not necessarily true though, as not every dancer dances for the sole purpose of performing or competing. In their own way, the general public can be considered dancers. How often in your life have you heard a song that has made you yearn to move? In all likelihood, a great deal of times. That movement that you execute is called dancing. Whether you choose to admit it to yourself or not, you are a dancer in your own right. Would you consider dancing to be sport? A sport by definition is an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment. The same as any sport commonly known today, dance, specifically competitive dance, has all elements required of a sport.

I like to look at myself as a genuine, thoughtful young lady. I’m a hard worker; I believe nothing is ever handed to you so you have to go get it. I worked hard to get to this point of my life and working even harder to get to the successful and graduate part of my life. I care more for some others than I do myself but I have a huge nonchalant attitude. I don’t really show anger or sadness much I always smile because I’m optimistic about life. I look at life as if something bad comes along, no need to dwell on it you can’t take it back so just move-on and improve what you did wrong if it’s possible.

I am very glad that I was able to take dance composition this quarter. From the first few classes, I knew that this class would be what I looked forward to most. Reflecting back, there were so many times when I would run up to my friends at home after class and tell them about the mind-blowing things that happened in composition that day. What ensued during class time was always a fun and exciting dinner conversation topic.
