Personal Narrative: Shut Up And Dance

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.

People often think that dancing is just about having to do a routine, but it isn’t. I just don’t dance, I perform, I breath, I count, I see the world slowly fade away. I create my own little place to be safe in. I release my feelings, and thoughts. I tear down the walls that stop me from being happy, and that allows me not to be angry anymore. I lose the pain, and I let go of that girl that is full of hurt, and I smile. It is not just about doing a dance it is much more than that. What I do is something wonderful that I can not find the words to express how amazing it makes me

*NSYNC’s performances are always action packed and entertaining. Many of their performances include high-energy dancing which *NSYNC spends countless hours working on in dance studios. Much of *NSYNC’s dancing includes acrobatics such as flips, and *NSYNC’s performances always include audience participation.

One of the most egregious communication theories displayed heavily throughout the film is the idea of symbolic convergence. The very root of this theory rests on the idea that humans connect with one another through shared meaning of an event, object, or otherwise stated “thing”. There are countless displays of this theory throughout the film, both for the characters in the movie and the viewers on the outside alike. For the characters within the movie, symbolic convergence happens when they are dancing. Even though these

Throughout all forms of art there are several ways to portray a message to an audience, whether it be through a painting about the meat industry or a song about an unjust legal system, expression can take on many different forms. No matter what the message or motivations of the piece, it is up to the artist how they want it portrayed. Dance is no exception to this rule, in today's world dance is one of the most popular ways to spread a message. From flash mobs to protest art dance is one of the most visible forms of expression people recognize today and these pieces of art are always evolving and changing to fit the wants and needs of the artist.

"Come on get happy," she sings to an indifferent after-work crowd. She plays whether anyone 's listening or not. She plays all the old pop standards to the ghosts. "It Don 't Mean A Thing (If It Ain 't Got That Swing)."

As children, people are often encouraged to pick up hobbies related to physical fitness to maintain their health and keep them active. As aging occurs, sometimes involvement in sports and physical activities weans off. Dancing is an activity that many partake in, whether it be on the professional stage or in the comforts of the home. To many, dancing brings joy and studies have shown that dancing can reduce anxiety.

Dancing is a way to express yourself, and it changes all the time due to what is going on in the world. Dance has changed over time due to the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the “Reagan years”.

Yeah man it's going to be so hard to follow up this song, lets look at this, he took some dance manoeuvre which seems to be popular and sung about it, When you listen to this song do you feel it's emotion and how beautiful the instruments and the vocals do you shiver with excitement no you fucking don't because it's a shit song for people with low musical standards, this guy is a talentless chuckle fuck.

Pina was a shy child, she was afraid to speak, dancing gave her a voice. When I was moving I could feel

I though it would be interesting to Google Be Still and see the results from the worlds perspective. One of the first results was a video clip from the movie Karate Kid. Now the original movie came out in 1984 and was a huge hit, but his clip came from the 2010 remake. I have not seen the movie, nor am I recommending it. I am sure it is filled with eastern and new age mysticism, however the short sentence spoken in this clip was fascinating. The scene depicts a teacher giving instruction to his student and says, “Doing nothing and Being Still are two very different things.” That really struck me. All too often for me, being still equates to doing nothing and then my mind begins to wander. Be Still in the context of Psalm 46 is not

Highlighting my freshman year was the homecoming dance. I was able to attend the dance with my bestfriend,Takia Jackson, we had an amazing time. The homecoming dance was one of the first times at Euclid High School, where I felt as if I wasn't an outcast freshman. All of the upperclassmen and underclassmen, got along and connected as a “panther family”. Age, grade year, size or anything that would generally make you different on a normal school day roaming the halls, did not matter at the homecoming dance. I was ecstatic to mingle with new people, dance with my friends and have a great time without drama or violence. I personally would recommend going to homecoming, to any freshman entering high school, it was awesome time for me, and I am

If “a dance is like a conversation,” as is wonderfully expressed by the broadway musical Disney’s The Little Mermaid, then why, for school dances, don’t we actually dance? There’s nothing wrong with it, at all, so why don’t we do it? School dances have become more like social get-togethers where people bring a date and listen to the most popular music of the day. The problem with this is that it creates a very bad environment, and students lose a valuable social skill, but, if we gave instruction of how to dance and the opportunity to dance, these problems would be solved and school dances would be safer and more fun.

In dancing, dancers listen to the beat of the music and their choreography flows from it. It’s common that dancers ignore the words from the song, instead worrying about how their movement can grow with the beat of the music. In dance, it’s hard to coordinate movement with lyrics. In cheerleading, cheerleaders as well listened to the beat of the music; however, cheerleaders focused more on the words of their cheers and coordinated their choreography with the music and what was being said in their
