In this documentary of “Mad Hot Ballroom” showed students in 5th grade dancing with their peers. In the beginning of this film, students were really shy and immature dancing with their partners. They were embarrassed and they couldn’t keep that awkward smile off their face, but they still had fun. They were mentioned that the best of dancers will be chosen to compete in a yearly competition, but it was much more than just a competition. Each student probably didn’t notice it but they were maturing throughout each practice. Each day in practice students tried their best, even when they were tired the instructor put on a catchy music and immediately the students were dancing and laughing. Dancing was their escape of reality. It was like a dream for them. They had a really nice opportunity. While they danced you can see every blood, sweat, and tears they put into practice. Throughout the documentary you see them mature every dance move they made. They matured by boys dancing with girls and they got out of that awkward stage. They weren’t afraid or shy to talk to a boy or girl. The ballroom dancing had a much greater purpose than just dancing and having fun. “You are going to learn from this experience” (Argelo). Every student probably didn’t earn a medal but they all won. They came out more than what they had as they walked in. Some students also learned what they wanted to do for the rest of their lives, they want to become an actor,

I will try to engage students with a story to start the lesson, which will focus their learning (Moitra, 2014). For example, introducing the lesson on alcohols by recounting their use in our daily life and why they are used in those situations. This engagement allows connection to their lives, they start the class by realising what you are saying to them is important and you are worth listening to (Makodia, 2009). This needs to be told with enthusiasm and passion to show that what you are saying is exciting and fascinating. This will require a range of tone and pace to allow the students to feel like they are hearing an interesting story. Through using gestures and walking around the class I can engage all students by allowing them to follow
Jane Desmond introduces her article, “Embodying Difference: Issues in Dance and Cultural Studies,” by describing a dance that readers can picture as the dance of tango in their minds. This helps lead to her connecting dance, or body movement, with cultural studies and social identities. In her article, Desmond focuses on connecting how dance and body movement can be portrayed differently in social identities, such as race, class, gender, nationality, and sexuality.
We will have a quick aerobic workout for our warm up, we all will stand in big circle and each child will take turns of suggesting a new move. Then we will start our daily activity, which will be dancing. The students will move to stimuli such as rhythm, beat, music, and words. Different movement patterns that resemble
Ever wondered what it would be like to leap through life, twirl right through, as if the world has completely stopped around you? To be able to pause everything in a silence that allows you to hear your own heartbeat? The silence on stage as you perform is a sense of peace within your inner body that is being channeled through a movement of effortless motion. In European history, dance was considered to be a way of celebration for many cultures. Although it was said that dance did require physical agility, dancers were never considered athletes because the movement was not taken seriously. Dance did not become popular in a more skillful way until later on. The debate of dance as a sport is very

This is Leonid Afremov’s Tango of Movement piece. When I was deciding what piece to use for this project I googled artists with unique techniques of paintings, and came across Leonid Afremov’s work. I had such a hard time choosing just one piece because his paintings are all wonderful and full of color and life. I ultimately chose the Tango of Movement piece because it reminded me of when I met my best friend. It was my freshman year at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and we had to sign up for an activity to do in the first few days of arrival to meet people. When I signed up the only things left to choose from were ballroom dancing and acapella groups. Since I am an awful singer and danced all of my childhood the decision was not too hard to make. When all the socially awkward freshman gathered in the dance room we were instructed by a tango instructor with a very appealing accent to find a partner. Since no one knew anyone else it was kind of like just pick the closest person to you who were opposite gender. Little did I know that the person I was about to learn how to tango with would become my best friend, Ruben. After we learned a lot of different ballroom dancing with a bunch of different partners it was time to go back to our dorms. Ruben came over to me and asked where I lived and we got to talking about everything under the sun and from that day on I have ballroom dancing to thank for our friendship. The painting by Afremov has such detail and vibrant colors. The
