There are many different “worlds” on this planet we live on called Earth. Everyone alive lives in some kind of little “world” of their own. There is the celebrity world, the “Disney” World, “Wally-world”, lots of different sports worlds, scholastic worlds, and so many others. There is a particular world that some live in, and that is the World of Dance. When you are a part of that world, you literally live and breathe it. Every aspect of the dance culture is wrapped up in that world. To those looking in from the outside it is beautiful, filled with lights, lovely costumes, mesmerizing music, and graceful movements.

Dance has been around for a long time, it is older than many other popular sports we have. It takes on the physical capacity to be labeled as a sport, and yet in most cases, it is not. It is one of the few activities that is both a sport and an art, but it is given very little respect as a sport. Dance has evolved in a number of ways throughout time, but it has always been through a meaning. Whether that be dancing for love or faith, or dancing for first place.

As I was talking about before, they did their jobs efficiently and responsibly, which gave them chances to do even better jobs to then lead them to where they are at now in history. All they did was protect their country in its time of need and be the first ones to do it in their skin color, culture, and heritage, despite all that they went through. They lost many people along the way, but in the end, there sacrifice was what made it possible for America to still be as it is now. Doing what they needed to do was what helped them make history. One of those who helped make their history

Dancing is a recreational activity that has been enjoyed by millions of people for centuries. There have been countless styles of dance and thousands of memorized steps that have been performed in front of people or even just simply enjoyed alone without and audience. When a handful those thousands of steps come together, it creates a routine. Even though there are countless dancers that are breathtaking when they perform the routine in front of and audience, most dancers cannot be proficient without someone to assemble those countless steps together to create something awe inspiring, beautiful, and entertaining to watch. Dance is a world of constant change due to the want of awe, the need to produce something unique, and the necessity to catch the audience’s attention. Although many people believe some dance styles have not changed for centuries, innovative choreographers flip dance styles upside down with their unique approaches.

In this argument, it is important to distinguish what type of dancing is being discussed, as there are many different types of varying levels of difficulty. Paige Abrams puts it this way: “You can dance at a club for fun, as a hobby, as a serious passion, or you can dance as a career” (2). Just as a person can play catch, which has some of the basic components as baseball, it is not considered a

There are so many citizens that have made major contributions to our society whether it was from today’s time or many years ago. In the industry of automotive, I chose an African American named Edward T. Welburn. He is one of the biggest men in car industry while also being the highest ranking.

In addition to this, math is captivating because of the various ways I am able to apply it in real life. Construction workers use a mixture of algebra and trigonometry when creating building. The size of a building and the area it covers is important for construction workers to keep note of when designing new buildings. In addition to this, chemist manipulate algebra when finding the weight of an element based on the conditions around the element, as well as how many atoms it contains. Math applications used by chemist increase their understanding of elements or molecules they are trying to

Dance is still a means of representing and expressing particular emotions or experienes; however, I might add that its applications extend beyond entertainment and can serve a more rigorous agenda.

The discovery of non-Euclidean geometry is credited to nineteenth-century mathematicians Carl Friedrich Gauss, Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky, and János Bolyai because they are first to recognize that the negation of Euclid’s Fifth Postulate as an axiom produced another geometry that was as rich and solid as that of Euclidean geometry (Venema, 2012). However, several concepts of Hyperbolic geometry were already known by that time, it just was not labeled as Hyperbolic geometry (or non-Euclidean geometry) because Hyperbolic geometry was not yet “discovered”. Euclid’s work was so distinguished that it was accepted as the standard so people did not think it was possible for other geometries to exist. All in all, the discovery and growth of Hyperbolic geometry first began with several mathematicians trying to prove that Euclid’s Fifth Postulate could be eliminated as an axiom.

I chose these people as my heroes because they do a lot more for their students than we’d envision.

In the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, to dance means “to move your body in a way that goes with the rhythm and style of music that is being played”, (Simple Definition of dance). Many people can do the action of dancing but very few individuals are born with the talent that is required to fulfill a professional dance career. Individuals born with a natural talent and receive the training needed have a variety of occupations that they can acquire.

Euclid’s assumptions about his postulates have set the groundwork for geometry today. He provided society with definitions of a circle, a point, and line, etc and for 2000 was considered “the father of geometry.” His postulates proved to be a framework from which mathematics was able to grow and evolve, from two thousand years ago, till Newton and even to all our classrooms today.

Mathematics is a type of reasoning. Thinking mathematically includes thinking in a rational way, developing and checking conjectures, understanding things, and forming and validating judgments, reasoning, and conclusions. We show mathematical habits when we acknowledge and explain patterns, build physical and theoretical models of sensations, develop sign systems to assist us stand for, control, and review concepts, and create treatments to address issues (Battista, 1999).
