I Watched An Episode Of Dance Moms

The ideal dance I pick was a mixed of modern/ballet dance. I constantly desired to dance like a mystical Firebird called the Phoenix and how they interpret the meaning of reincarnation. How the Phoenix used its feathers to turn it to flames and able to swirl. It around to engulf itself in flames to get the sun to become as one with the world. The phoenix opens its wings and lift itself to the cosmos as the young phoenix from its old ashes and rejuvenate to a beautiful organism. The song I used is called…

I interviewed my mom, Sandy Coleman, because throughout her life, she has always seemed to knock down gender roles. Throughout my interview with her, a major theme that seemed to appear was that she didn 't, and still doesn 't, conform to societies standards of what a woman should be. My mother was never involved in political activism or women 's rights at all, however by striking down societal norms, I believe she is a role model for many young women including myself. My mom said that she…

On April 8th, 2016, I watched a play about a Puerto Rican woman named Marisol who went through the emotional heartbreak of her angel leaving to go fight against God and trying to survive in an apocalyptic world. This magnificent, humorous and emotional play is simply named Marisol. I walked down the polished floor of the Don Taft University Center of Nova Southeastern University towards the Black Box Theatre. I handed my ticket for Marisol to a smiling and courteous attendant that was dressed in…

I have been dancing for fourteen years now, and as you can imagine, I have been through numerous pairs of dance shoes. Growing older has allowed me to try and experience different shoes and brands, as my variety of dance shoe needs has expanded. Within the past few years, I have had a chance to tryout three different types of dance footwear, the three kinds I have always preferred. These preferred dance shoes- Foot Thongs, Foot Undies, and Paws- are the same type of shoe but vary in appearance, price…

Abby is famous for the pyramid, a system in which she ranks her favorite dance students (top of the pyramid) and least favorite (bottom) directly in front of the students and their mothers.

The movie I watched for my paper is called Inside Out. This movie presents the development of an 11-year-old girl named Riley and about how her memories were being formed prior to a life change. Riley lived in Minnesota and loved playing on her hockey team with her best friends, and she was growing up in what she saw as a perfect life.

Cinema Critique The title of the movie I watched is 2001: A Space Odyssey. The direct of the film is Stanley Kubrick. The movie was released in the year 1968. The basic plot of the movie is that for around the first 20 minutes it takes place at the dawn of man, or civilization. It starts with some ape looking creatures going about life until; they come across a black stone or monolith. The monolith apparently does something to the apes and gives them the intelligence to use bones as clubs. It then…

I watched the movie Hotel Rwanda. The film follows a hotel manager named Paul Rusesabagina. He managed to hide 1,268 Tutsi and Hutu refugees during the Rwandan genocide in 1994. The genocide killed possibly over a million Tutsis and moderate Hutus. The genocide was lead by the Hutu government and executed by militias composed of Hutu soldiers as well as Hutu citizens. While it is difficult to understand the reasons behind a slaughter like this, it is important to at least attempt to. As briefly…
