The Importance Of Dance In My Life

Dance In My Life Dance, along with music, has always been a part of my life. As a child, my sister and I would ‘choreograph’ our own dance routines pretending to be with the USO. We wanted to be like The Supremes or Martha and the Vandellas, or even the Bee Gees or Osmonds. Together, we would make up 'song and dance' routines then perform them for our family. Really, we were just trying to please our daddy whom we adored. Regrettably, I was never able to participate in formal dance training. Most

Today I will be describing and analyzing three different dance forms using the Feldman Model. These dance forms are Bhangra from India, Doundoumba from West Africa, and Chinese Fan Dance from China.

As excepted the traditional music was in sharp contrast to the hip-hop and rap in Microphone and be more likened to what I hear playing in my father’s car (with artists like Warda and Oum Kalthoum), but the importance is the concept of the music and dance portrayed in both films. Music is one the few things that brings friends and family together (paralleled only perhaps by religion and food) in all cultures, but even more so in Arab culture. There

to competitive dance for 15 years has immensely impacted my life, as I have not only progressed technically and performance-wise, but I have been given numerous opportunities for self growth and development. Dancing has shaped me into a well-rounded, confident individual who is able to prioritize responsibilities, cooperate and collaborate with others, and exhibit strong leadership skills. Involvement in any extra curricular can aid one in developing a true passion, and through dance, I have been

The Music is On The auditorium bell rang and the audience began to quiet down and take their seats. The dance teachers and class parents begged, “girls please stay quiet and stay in your order it’s about to begin.” The young dancers just kept twirling in their tutus and stomping their tap shoes against the marley floor of the stage. As the recital began, the giggling of the dancer’s excitement became more persistent. When the introduction ended it was time for the young tap class to take the stage

Once I made it to high school, I was required to take an art history class and once again in college. My eyes were open to how art has changed over the years, but it’s impact on our nation’s history.

When asked about my career aspirations, there is no hesitation before saying “I want to be a dancer.” Being a dancer means putting all other distractions aside, and focusing on my craft. Currently, I dedicate over forty hours a week to dance, which is a schedule that requires sacrifice.

of three simple, elementary words, the weight it holds is great. In life, growing up and finding yourself go hand in hand. When I think of who I am today at 17, many flashbacks of moments come to mind; people, places and experiences. All of which, have impacted not only my character but my personality as well. As long as I can remember my mom has referred to me as a bundle of energy and the center of attention... even though my parents weren’t ready for child number two, I was a fabulous surprise

are shaking with nerves waiting to be called onto the stage. My heart starts pumping a thousand miles per minute and I am completely overwhelmed, but once the music starts I am at home, where I’m most comfortable. The stage lights shined bright against the black marly floors, and with one last deep breath I gracefully ran out and took my place.
