Stage Dance Research Paper

In the Renaissance time, there were ways to express yourself such as music, dance, and painting. I chose to write about how people would express themselves using dance. There were many different types of dances as well as a lot of interesting history and interesting meanings behind the way they would dance.

Suddenly My mom started to finally understand how nervous I was about this it was like a light bulb was on top of her head and it had just turned on. Then she explained how it won’t be as scary because I would be practicing everything with my dance teacher Mrs.Dawnell. Also, she told me that I would get to practice with my friends, But she also told me that we would have to practice doing our interviews. I was even more scared of that even though it was just going to be practice. I can’t even imagine what i’m going to feel when i’m in interviews with the judges.

Our coaches had told us since the beginning that the months and months we would spend preparing for one particular day would all be worth it in the end. Taking place at New Castle Fieldhouse in early March 2015, I competed in the IHSDTA Dance team competition with my fellow teammates and members of the NHS dance team. We walked into the vast, expansive Fieldhouse knowing that it was the largest High School Fieldhouse in the Nation. The anticipation in the air was electric and full of excited chatter of girls who had been preparing for months for this one day… actually for these two minutes.

Li was the sixth of 7 brothers,[3] born into poverty in the Li Commune near the city of Qingdao in the Shandong province of the People's Republic of China. He often had to support his extremely poor family. Li's early life coincided with Mao Zedong's rule over the new Communist nation. Li had a strong desire to serve China's Communist Party. He was quite politically devout, eventually joining in the CCP's Youth League. At the age of eleven, he was selected by Madame Mao's cultural advisors to attend the Beijing Dance Academy, where students endured 16-hour-a-day training. He attended the Academy for seven years. The regime in Beijing Dance was harsh, starting each morning at 5:30. Li performed well in the politics class,[4] but did badly in ballet. This changed when he met

Mister Chan called us, We went near him and he told us that “Don’t be nervous or be scared, Just think about how hard all of you practice to perfect these performance. You guys can do it, Some of you are first timers and might think that you can’t do it but YOU CAN because YOU WILL” We did a group hug and went up to the stage. Thanks to My dance instructor Mister Chan and to Eleanor Roosevelt because that quote made me what I am

Everyone knows ballet has been around for many years, but not everyone knows that people rebelled against ballets structure. Ballet is a very strict type of dance unlike modern which is more free. The strictness of ballet is very different from modern because ballet watches your every move like a hawk. It needs to be straight and precise, but in modern, there is no strictness to it. The moves come naturally to you as well as they can be whatever you want them to be. Most of them are just made up off the top of your head. There are many differences, but there are also similarities. They involve emotion and costumes, but they still relate. Modern is a very free type of dance, so is ballet, but the two have many things that are not the same.

As I walked into the intermediate room at Monsters of Hip-Hop, the nerves inside of me built up like a hot air balloon. I was stretching in jealousy of other girls and boys as they showed their amazing talents. I start to worry if I mess up on the choreography, out of nowhere the choreographer Laura Edwards comes in. I look at my mom in fear,

Our team sat in the hallway of our school, waiting for our name to be called to enter the gym. The pregame jitters were everywhere. Girls were bouncing up and down, fanning themselves and skittering around. I had a flood of emotions inside me. I was mostly excited but also quite nervous. What if my parents didn’t like the dance? What if my peers don’t like the dance? What if it looks bad? I couldn’t help but doubt the routine in a time of such nervousness. Our coach gave us each her routine good-luck shoulder shakes, and I knew the time had come. I heard the crowded gym fall quiet.

All the judges were going to look at was me and only me, I had nothing to help cover up my mistakes. I took some deep breathes as I was announced, and walked out into my first formation on stage. As the music started I was doing okay, then I looked into one of the judges eyes and I blanked. I could not remember the rest of my choreography. I had let my nerves get the best of me! I had heard enough times from my instructor that the judges do not know our solos so we can improvise something. I did just that, but when I walked off that stage I was disappointed in myself. My whole family had shown up just to see me forget my solo! I could not bare to face my family and see the looks of disappointment on their faces. I went back to the dressing room to get ready for awards, as I was finished I had worked up enough courage to go see my family. As I was walking out the doors I was shocked to see my family standing in the waiting area smiling from ear to ear. I walked up to my mom crying because I thought she would be disappointed in me and her opinion matters the most to me. My mom told me that she was so proud of me because I had the courage to go out on that stage and perform all by

“omg y/n can you believe that we are acually here. I mean just being here is a win for me. Omg i’m so nervous.”

I had something to focus on besides my nerves. I straightened up, walked to the front pole, and pressed my back against it. I slid my fingers under the straps of my dress, sliding them down my arms. I held the top of the dress over my breasts as I sunk down, opening my legs toward them. I gave a quick shimmy of my shoulders and let the top of the dress fall down to my waist. Angel and Sky were clapping and cheering, but I realized they weren’t the only ones. The guys were enjoying our show. A couple of them were now standing at the stage with dollars in their

On Saturday, January 9th, the West Central School district held there Annual Winter Formal to all of the High School students at West Central and to the dates of those students who attended the dance. For many students this was there first High School dance. “I had a lot of fun at the dance. I really thought that the dance was well put together and I'm so happy that I went to it.” Said Sophomore Luke Sebert. But most students were just so happy to see each other and be amongst friends and people they know. Even if the dance only lasted from 9 p.m. to midnight and it was full of talking and dancing students all the way to the end of the night. “ I was very happy with this years turnout to the dance. Its groups like this that get more

Starting off my group tried to use the list of movement vocabulary. That didn’t work out so instead we decided to focus on what our theme or story would be. Eventually we settled on two topics, unrequited love and love at first sight.

Albert Einstein once said “Dancers are the athletes of God.” Not only are they the athletes of God, but dancing ballet can also prepare people for college, the workplace and parenting. Ballet has been studied and performed since the 15th century. While entranced by the graceful dancers and beautiful music, though, onlookers may not notice the multiple benefits of dancing ballet. While learning ballet, dancers develop strong, well controlled bodies. Dancers also must multitask by memorizing new choreography and developing technique, while at the same time keeping up with the class. Dancers also learn to mentally handle harder situations and never give up. Learning how to dance ballet helps prepare dancers for life as it requires memory skills,
