I Hope You Dance Analysis

This song represents the talents that i have and what I have that we call determination. the song is fun and addicting for the whole family and more. Talent is tricky subject to get into, because this can go into many categories. I don't have many talents, but i get by and get the job done. In oak hill high school i was a silent and did not interact with anyone during class and man did i have bad acne. That's in the past and I grew confidence and i'm a manager at kfc. So things are not bad as their were back in the day when i was young and free. That's not the subject at hand,talents are really helpful and can entertain for years to come. Having no talent would make a person into that business guy that nobody likes. I mean nobody wants to be left out (except emos). The artist artist 009 sound system can be a good contender on what a person wants to be when the grow up and goto college” You can do anything you want to” that phrase helps represents the talent of adapting which I found out to be the most helpful to me. anyways talent can be a major part of like and should be taken seriously one day that talent can get that job the everyone else

My story has a meaningful story behind it. The story is deep for me and even for the artist and probably for many other people. Hearing songs like this can inspire you. It inspired me to be thankful for the people in my life. One day they can be here the next they could be gone. You never know what’s going on in their lives.

“My Wish” is a song recorded by Rascal Flatts, written by Jeffery Steele and Steve Robson. The song was written for one of Steele’s four daughters. What I’m getting out of this song, and what I believe many others do too is to live every minute like it’s your last. “I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow” the very first line is about someone who’s going somewhere in life. “And each road leads you where you want to go,” (line 2) This is saying that hopefully the path you’re taking in life is the one you want to fulfill. “And if you’re faced with a choice and you have to choose, I hope you choose the one that means the most to you” (line 3-4) What Steele is saying that if one has to make a choice, it should be the best choice for that person, not what someone else wants you to do.

As the author said, sometimes the fate can be changed by choice you make. It encourages the reader that it is always possible to change and fix destinies before it is too late. One important quote that the author wrote is, “This book is meant to show us how... our destinies can be determined by a single stumble down the wrong path , or a tentative step down the right one." (Moore xiv).

My three goals that I want to accomplish within the next few weeks is to not lose count when dancing, to become a better all around dancer, and to understand how to choreograph dances to music. My main learning types are visual and musical. My second way that I learn is interpersonal and intrapersonal. My least way of learning is linguistic, logical, and bodily. I am hoping to be able to achieve my goals by the end of this class by using my learning skills.

The bad news in our lives at the time, of course, was our dad being sick. With that being said, this song gave us hope that, that bad news would someday bring about good news and that we should not worry. When Megan heard this song a different lyric stood out to her. “And we'll all float on OK”. She picked this lyric out, specifically, because it made her think of the time she had gotten in a wreck, pulling out of her high school parking lot. She said that she had to stay positive and remain optimistic because she knew that one day, everything would just ‘float on’.

The first piece was entitled “You, Me, & Us”. Due to having troubles catching the MARTA bus, I missed a good portion of this performance and had to view the rest of the performance on the teleprompter. The dancers were moving in a circle with a person in the center and all of the dancers were wearing earth tones. The music was very serene and at the conclusion of the performance, all of the dancers hugged each other. From what I saw, this performance represented how all humans are interconnected on this Earth, this can be seen by all of the dancers hugging in the end and also the title of the piece.

Aphorisms are used in books all around the world, but many people do not recognize them. An aphorism is a brief statement, usually one sentence long, that expresses a general principle or truth about life. The great authors Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson both focus on transcendentalism which is, a philosophy movement that developed in the late 1820s and early 1830s. The book Walden by Henry David Thoreau, and the essay “Self Reliance” by Ralph Waldo Emerson, have many good aphorisms that reflect transcendentalists views. The provisions of Thoreau and Emerson’s writings provide substantial ideals for us as we navigate through life.

Many people doubted that I would successfully make the team. Although I was a tenacious person, I was tremendously nervous but nothing was going to stop me from dancing. In spite of it all, I once again made the dance squad. At this point, I had a mission to accomplish due to the time I had to sit out and endure the pain of my

This song says that the world will turn whether you like it or not. The planit is full of people that will do their own thing. Don't let that stop you from living your life.

I have never seen a more devoted dancer then you. You worked so hard to make it into so you think you can dance, and I was happy when you

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.

Did you know that this song was not written by Rihanna? In the year of 2013, a Nashville-based singer songwriter name Mikky Ekko wrote this emotive ballad that landed in the Top 5 on 28 charts. This song topped many singles charts in different countries. The lyrics in this song brought about empathy and emotional responses, but the lyrics also added to how the media would now view Rihanna and Chris Brown’s previous relationship. This song is not about a previous relationship of Rihanna’s, but a song written by someone who thought the song sounded very vulnerable to himself. I will discuss what the lyrics mean in general, what the lyrics mean to me, and what the lyrics could be saying about intimacy.

The purpose of my dance is to let people into my mind open up and be vulnerable. The theme is about questioning friendships this summer I went through an emotional spiral with the people in my life and questioning who I should let in or not. I was a bit frustrated with people as well I'm usually the kind of person to mask my feelings or just push them aside but not this time . So I dealt with my feelings in a positive way and wrote it down in a way to release stress then wrote a song about it with my friend Katt. So it was pretty natural to choose this song because I can connect to every word since I wrote it .I found the choreography really dificult really because It was easy saying what was wrong with me

I have a lot of talents, but I can't fit all of them into three paragraphs! So I will tell you just a few of my talents. First I'm good at dance. Second I'm good at spelling. Third I'm good at writing poetry.
