Since my sophomore year in high school I have been a part of a very unique dance group. This group is known as Alma Folklorica de Oklahoma, which translates to Fokloric soul of Oklahoma. We are a dance group that performs traditional dances from the country of Mexico. In my hometown there is strong Hispanic population, but more predominantly from Mexico. It first started as a community group, but eventually it became a school program. When it began people in the community still were apprehensive of newcomers in the community, mostly to the new coming Hispanic population. It began as a transitional program, mostly to show the beautiful culture of the newcomers. After a couple of years it eventually became a high school class. In the early years of it as a class at the high

My overall response to the dance concert is spectacular because each dance piece was moving, remarkable, and motivational. Each dance had an astounding affect on me and allowed to me repelled into the performance. These impressions came from me analyzing the dance pieces, “A Brief Study of Recent History and “One Heart, Two Worlds”, for the Spring 2016 Studio 115 Dance Concert Series at USM’s Dance and Theatre Building on May 4th. The first performance, “A Brief Study of Recent History” was choreographed by Elizabeth Lentz-Hill and introduced by the dancers Jennifer Alafat, Megan Bradberry, Shaquille Hayes, etc. While the second piece, “One Heart, Two Worlds”, was choreographed by Dejonelle Gleeton and the performers were Brittain Allgood,

On Wednesday, November 18th, I had the pleasure to attend and watch the Dance Plus’s Fall show. The Dance Plus was performed at the Douglass Theatre, Victoria Mastrobuno Theater. When I entered the show the theatre seemed a little small for such big crowed. I immediately thought there would not be enough seats for all the audience, but somehow it fitted everyone. As everyone got settled down, the dance performance had started. I chose to write about the first performance that was choreographed by the amazing director, Jessica Lange her work was simply wonderful! I loved every little piece of the play. It put a smile on my face watching this amazing work of art. So with that said, I would now like to talk about the dance performance. There were

As a beginner dancer at MHS, it is really important to go to dance concerts because it will help us improve our dancing. The concert I went to was known as SJDanceco, and this concert was located at Santana Row’s park. This event had started at 10 am and had ended around 5 pm. I had went at 10 am and left around 2pm because it was a really fun experience. I had seen many cool and different choreographies with different types of dances. On the other hand this concert has occurred on 4/23/2017, which is on a sunday. There were approximately 88 - 91 performance groups that had gathered and performed on this special day. This was SJDanceco’s 15th anniversary, so this could be a reason why there were so many groups. Even though there were too many choreographers to name, all of their choreographies were all amazing. Their choreos showed us how much work and effort they put in, and I believe all of them put in lots and lots of hard work and effort.

Do you ever wonder where variety styles of dance come from? All varieties of dance come from the root of Jazz. Each root without jazz dance, we will not have all the modern dances that we have today. African- Americans unique styles, beats and rhythms have changed the society of the 19th century to the 21 th century. Jazz Dance has evolved over the years.

The concert I attended was performed by the Brooklyn College Wind Ensemble conducted by Jeff W. Ball on March 1, 2016. The Midwood High School Band, conducted by Melissa Williams, performed as special guests. Before going to the concert, I looked up Wind Ensemble so I’d know what to expect. A Wind Ensemble consists only of wind, brass, and percussion instruments. My concert experience was enjoyable as I went in knowing what the Wind Ensemble is, and went in with an open mind.

I have danced for the past 9 years and have and still love every minute of it. For how much i have learned over the past 9 years i have also learned a lot in this class. So far my favorite has been the hip hop combo that my group did. It has been my favorite because I really liked the music, choreography and style: and I don’t really enjoy hip hop that much so I was surprised that I really enjoyed that combo. I also like the 3 days of fitness, because it motivated me in so way to try my best and I feel that I improved the workouts that we did over the 3 days. The bones and muscles were cool to learn about because I think that it is important to know which muscle/bone is where and if you get injured you have a better idea of what you injured

This bibliography is important because it is has allowed me to critically view the sources that I will use for my research paper. I have dissected and deconstructed the data so that I could fully understand them and employ the material effectively. The question I am attempting to answer with my research is to what extent does the arts and specifically dance benefit our psychological body?

Throughout my life I have never really been interested in the dance until last year where I started to accept it. why? Why do we put ourselves through the physical stress to call ourselves dancers? Why do we love it so? I simply found those answers when I started dancing as I saw the potential it gave, showed the importance of teamwork, and the courage it taught.

This week Grace and I taught one day and during our time teaching I had a great time. We tried the dances this week and personally I liked the dancing better than the other warm ups we have done. I feel with the dancing everyone gets more involved and they just be themselves because everyone is dancing and just having fun. I think this week stuck out the most to me so far out of all of the weeks becuase Grace, Bailey, Ella, and I went around the stations together and while we were going around Grace and I were just having fun and hanging out. But what really stuck out and meant alot to me was when Joanne came and told me that I was doing a good job with Ella, it was just a little thing that really stuck out to me.

Dance is a wide career with many options to consider dependent upon a dancer’s preference. This particular profession is a very opinionated occupation as well, so discretion may be necessary. Dance is a difficult career and is particularly underestimated by many outsiders throughout the world. Many decisions have to be made in order to make the right step towards fulfilling a dance career. Dancers have influenced the world for many years and will continue to influence the world for many more years to

On Thursday April 25, 2013 , I attended a jazz vocal concert at the Music Concert Hall. The first vocal ensemble opened up the performance with a slow rhythmic song called Blue Skies. It began with vocals and I noticed a light auxiliary percussion and drum rhythm. Also, the bass guitarist used walking bass and the piano and electric guitar joined in as well. The first song also consisted of two soloist Regina and Chantel who took the front stage to show off their chops. After the solo performances they fell back into the vocal sections and finished off the song as a complete band. The second performance had a piano opening which led to vocals joining in at the same time as the rhythm section. This performance

On December 1, 2017, in the University Theatre at California State University, Dominguez Hills, I observed the fall dance concert Rise. It was choreographed by Amy Michelle Allen, Marco A, Carreon, Sarah Cashmore, Jeff Hendrix, Erin Landry, Doris Ressl Acosta, and Kenneth Walker, with the long cast of dancers. The production was pleasing, and would not have been believable without the work from production designers, Frederick Depontee and Cheryl Sheldon. Rise is played out in eight different dance routines, which were Xtra Xtra, Scar Tissue, Hart Broken, Things Are A Stirrin’, and the rest are intermissions such as Female Energy, Women, Exotica, Strength In Numbers, and Makina.
