Salsa And Bachata Research Paper

I used to love dance class. I was never any good at it- just watch me walk and you’ll notice how clumsy I am- but it was still one of my passions. I had been taking a dance class since kindergarten, and when I moved to Fort Thomas in first grade, it was one of the constants in my life. Every Tuesday, I would pack up my pink dance bag, put on my leotard and tights, and jump into my mom’s car to be taken to practice. Excitement would bubble through me every single time- for a while, at least.

The nature of this performance is live entertainment. They complete their objectives by providing the audience a wonderful time and teaches all about collaboration as a group. Throughout the show, each dance shows the character of everyone. What I most liked about this performance was their unity in every performance, they would stick together and had the same rhythm to follow, while they were keeping their own sense of style.

I learned a lot of things that lead me to who I am today, and yes maybe I am not the best girl in the world, maybe I am not the kindest, or the prettiest, but I am who I am and if people are not okay with that then I don’t need those people in my life. People who don’t dance just see dance as it is. Steps, and more steps. Us, dancers see the movements of the dance and go deeper into their story. To us, each little movement we make means something and as the audience is looking at us and seeing our pain and or happiness, they see the story we are telling behind the movements and the music. I can say I learned how to be someone that anyone can trust, someone who is there for you no matter the situation. I learned how to overcome my worst fears, and learned that is okay to fail. What’s not okay is to be a shadow when the light is in the stage pointing at you. To shut yourself down, and not accomplish what you

Some of the movements executed by the dancers are similar to those executed by dancers in a stepping performance and also in a tap dance presentation. This presentation falls into the group of the new trends of modern dance, in which the choreographer are taking more and more liberty with various dance combinations, and including strong messages in their work. I would definitely attend other dance performance, not only from this company, but also by other companies; and would also recommend this performance, especially to people going through a dark period in their life. This performance finished convincing me that dance is surely the most communicative of the art forms, and that a single presentation can convey more than one

The first two shows didn’t leave much of an impression on me because of the pacing but the final show stood out from them. The curtains were pulled away and a bright blue, yellow aura bounded around the stage. Dancers began to take their place, yet they were far from the center of the stage. The most dancers out of any performance before were just about to begin and then the smooth jazz-like music roared out to the audience.

It was magnificent because I genuinely like the way the pieces were performed by the dancers. Having this show dedicated to Martin Luther King, Jr. made me fall more and more in love with each piece. You could follow the storyline of Martin Luther King, Jr. as each piece was performed. I could not take my eyes off the stage when watching the pieces because each piece was just as captivating as the next one. The pieces makes me as an audience member reflect on why we celebrate the life of Martin Luther King, Jr. on Martin Luther King, Jr.. Day. I appreciate when a piece can make me reflect back on my life or reflect on the world around

This dance was impressively in sync with the pre-recorded track and with one another. The couples had to dance together, lift one another off of the ground, use umbrella and others props, and stay in sync with everyone. In order for this to be successfully performed, the students had to know every step, transition, and rhythm like the back of their hand. The students were in sync with one another and danced with ease. The performance was so well done, it looked extremely easy and relaxed to the audience members. I personally was in awe by the advanced level and ability they were able to present.

The reason I went to this particular dance show is because I have had the absolute pleasure of getting to know some truly incredible students at

The video Latin Music USA, relates to our class watching the video I am able to say I can do some of the moves they do! Our class relates to this video because they talk a lot about community and being able to connect to another, I think our class connects us to others we generally would not associate with. They talk about when the Fania All Stars would perform the energy from both the stage and the audience was tremendous and people did not want to sit, I think this relates to our class because before the class even starts people are dancing trying to further perfect the way they dance.

In the fifth grade at Britton Elementary we had a ballroom class disguised as a mentoring program. Not only did we learn how to salsa and waltz but we also learned how to respect and take in leadership. The guys had to come to the girl and ask her the proper way to dance and the girl had to politely say yes. This is how we started class everyday. In December of 2008 we performed at Rose State College and had a wonderful time.

I have danced for the past 9 years and have and still love every minute of it. For how much i have learned over the past 9 years i have also learned a lot in this class. So far my favorite has been the hip hop combo that my group did. It has been my favorite because I really liked the music, choreography and style: and I don’t really enjoy hip hop that much so I was surprised that I really enjoyed that combo. I also like the 3 days of fitness, because it motivated me in so way to try my best and I feel that I improved the workouts that we did over the 3 days. The bones and muscles were cool to learn about because I think that it is important to know which muscle/bone is where and if you get injured you have a better idea of what you injured

Dancing has never been a huge learning experience for me and I never saw the potential influences it would have on my life. Believing that teamwork or leadership meant nothing when it came to dance, Only it could have just been my ignorance as well never actually spending time to develop myself in this art. Until I reached high school where I joined dance class and started to become more

I liked the performance quality for this dance because of the energy they have when they were doing the lifts and how they make me feel. An example from this dance is the lift they were doing

This week Grace and I taught one day and during our time teaching I had a great time. We tried the dances this week and personally I liked the dancing better than the other warm ups we have done. I feel with the dancing everyone gets more involved and they just be themselves because everyone is dancing and just having fun. I think this week stuck out the most to me so far out of all of the weeks becuase Grace, Bailey, Ella, and I went around the stations together and while we were going around Grace and I were just having fun and hanging out. But what really stuck out and meant alot to me was when Joanne came and told me that I was doing a good job with Ella, it was just a little thing that really stuck out to me.

Their techniques was amazing, they have proper timing and the have the best showmanship. Their emotions were well shown to the audience and its very relatable, but theres something that I think that needs improvement and that is stage spacing. In some dances, most of the dancers stays at center stage and some dancers stays at downstage, I think they could use some movements that can move dancers to different positions. There’s a few things that I would change if i was the director, I would add more dance styles in the dances and I would also wanna change the costumes into more modern
