I’ve always dreamt of dancing in New York City and this summer I earned the opportunity to live out that dream. After auditioning and waiting months for a result, I was accepted into the Rockette’s Summer Intensive. The program was, in brief, intense. I went into the intensive not knowing anyone, first time in New York, and all while the stress looming over my head that I was performing with strangers the challenging choreography that was just thrown at me in seven days. The first few

Imagine a crowd of people with on the edge of your seat, nail-biting excitement. People were bubbling with energy and some alcohol to loosen everyone up. The lights are dim and the show is about to start. The slow melodic notes of the piano echo through the theater and out walks the singer dressed in an all lace number and a shawl showing more skin than covering. It is evident that this event is definitely for the “grown and sexy”. On Sunday March 8, 2014, I attended a Masha Ambrosius concert in which she was promoting her album friends and lovers. During the course of the show there were 4 different performances all of which had different effects on the

The La Costa Canyon High School Winter Dance Recital was a fun and upbeat, communal experience that allowed the opportunity to watch fellow students excel in their own individual strengths. Each dance was creatively choreographed to portray a message whether slow or fast, happy or sad. The overall experience was enjoyable and definitely repeatable.

The Chino Hills High School Dance Team performed in their first competition at Esperanza High School. The competition started off with the Freshmen Solos, from Natalie Garcia, Scarlette Esparza, Zachary Ramos, and Simone Carrillo. Sophomore Solos, from Hayley Dyer and Megan Glaudini. Junior Solos, from Brooke Wendel, Rheana Tumang, and Mia Roberts, and Senior Solos, from Emily Ha and Florrie Ku. The sophomore, junior, and senior solos took first place!

From an early age, I loved to perform. Being the youngest girl with three older brothers, I could never get enough attention; This meant singing, dancing and being extremely outgoing to get everyone’s eyes on me. I still hear stories about my younger self dancing in front of mirrors, babbling about my dream of being a “star”. It wasn’t until much later, however, that I found I could put my love of performing to use.

On April 14, 2017, my friend and I visited for the first time Salt Lake City Community College dance company’s annual performance. The show was presented at the Grand Theater at the South City Campus of the college. The performance’s name “Moving Words” imply what the audience was about to experience. “Moving Words” consists of 18 different dances and each of those dances brought a unique feeling to the overall performance. I thought that the dancers and choreographers have done an amazing job. However, after seeing all the different dances there were two that stuck together with me, because of the ideas and the morals these dances introduced.

As I was sitting in the audience, the first thing that I noticed was that the audience consisted of all ages, ranging from eighteen years of age to perhaps eighty years of age. In preparation for the concert to begin, several performers entered the room and tuned their instruments to the keys on the piano. The performers’ attire was highly conservative, covering almost every inch of their entire body, and they wore all black from head to toe. When the concert began, the audience clapped as the performers were introduced and were walking out onto the playing area. As the performers took their seats in front of their stands, the audience became quiet and there was a short moment of silence before the performance commenced.

At 3:00 PM on Sunday April 13th, 2014, I attended the performance “Shared Graduate Dance Concert at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center-Dance Theatre. Walking into the theatre I had anticipated experiencing an upright performance. This sensation came as I visited the website for the Shared Graduate Concert and saw a breath taking photo that entailed a person behind a curtain holding their hand up and a fuzzy person in front of a curtain. Also, I knew I was in for a good ride after I saw Meghan Bowden in the pamphlet.

I am on my school dance team, the Pacesetters. We are known nationwide for our consecutive national wins, and our slightly eccentric spring show. Having this reputation didn’t come without hard work and sacrifices. Pacesetters along with the other extra-curricular activities I have participated in, taught me principles that will help me achieve my long term goals.

That mocumentary Razzle Dazzle directed by Darren Ashward and the documentary First Position directed by Bess Kargmam effectively explores the world of dance in numerous different ways. The characterization throughout each film is tremendously different as they focus on different personalities and physiognomies. Though the film techniques on both Razzle Dazzle and first position both share similar camera angles and features throughout the films. Both the documentary and mocumentary paints a dazzling picture of the struggles and triumphs of dancers who have dreams. The theme of competiveness runs throughout Fist Position and Razzle Dazzle in different ways.

You’d be surprised how fast ‘people-watching’ grows repetitive. Not a great deal happens around the monument, Lincoln Memorial, that was dedicated to me. These days people just show up to see little old me and leave with a couple photos. So, you can probably imagine my excitement when a group of highschoolers enter my line of sight. High Schoolers, although not a rare occurrence, provide a fair amount of mischief around here on the occasion they have a poor supervisor. Nevertheless, despite the teacher not paying attention to her group, the students stayed relatively calm. I had a superb feeling about this crowd today. Suddenly, voices around the room hushed a little as some of the students towards the center of the room began to quietly sing.

As a beginner dancer at MHS, it is really important to go to dance concerts because it will help us improve our dancing. The concert I went to was known as SJDanceco, and this concert was located at Santana Row’s park. This event had started at 10 am and had ended around 5 pm. I had went at 10 am and left around 2pm because it was a really fun experience. I had seen many cool and different choreographies with different types of dances. On the other hand this concert has occurred on 4/23/2017, which is on a sunday. There were approximately 88 - 91 performance groups that had gathered and performed on this special day. This was SJDanceco’s 15th anniversary, so this could be a reason why there were so many groups. Even though there were too many choreographers to name, all of their choreographies were all amazing. Their choreos showed us how much work and effort they put in, and I believe all of them put in lots and lots of hard work and effort.

Last week, I attended the Cultura Latina Club with the first event of this semester. I believe the dance event that was taking place at Lakeside had psychological perspectives. First of all, it is understood that music has an effect on people because the lyrics or beats reach out to an emotional perspective. Also, the social event plays roles that affect the human mind. At the beginning of the dance, I notice the members of the club did not have any enthusiasm. Even I felt this way because of the amount of people who showed up. Nobody seem to care to dance or get the party started. Everyone just laid back in the chairs until members of the club kept showing up one by one. As more people arrived, the behavior of the member who arrived at the
