My first school dance prom, winter formal, homecoming, the whole thing just seemed kind of lame to me. Maybe because I grew up watching my siblings go to them and not me. Boys came over to pick up my sisters with corsages and limousines. My brother left to go pick up his date just like my sisters had been picked up by theres. Then they left. I never really knew what happened after that. But I knew I would get there soon. So here I am, getting ready for my first highschool dance. My dress is the same one that my mother wore for her first high school dance. Obviously it needed some work but it was beautiful. It was a gorgeous maroon color that got lighter as the room got darker. My mom came in and did my makeup. Suddenly I felt beautiful. The freshmans are only allowed to go to the winter formal but it seemed okay. I’ve been dreading this night for weeks. Mostly because the guy who had …show more content…
We tore up the dance floor with our coordinated dance routine that we had somehow both remembered from the third grade with everyone astonished. Then we ate all of the food and punch we could while we laughed about our old memories from elementary school. But last we took pictures. With only 10 minutes left of the night, the line for pictures was completely gone. We walked up to the photographer and grabbed a crowns and acted as if we had won king and queen. Then we smiled and made silly faces until suddenly our eyes locked and created the perfect picture. Just as he was leaning in to kiss me the photographer interrupted, “ marvelous! This one's a keeper “ as we grabbed our picture and left he had walked me outside as I waited again for my parents to pick me up when I got a call saying that I had to walk home. Will volunteered to walk me home. As I stood up from the bench outside, he eagerly slipped his hand into mine. I couldn’t believe it I was standing there holding hands with the guy of my dreams as he walked me home after my first highschool

As a result of reading the forward of “The National Core Arts Standards: A Conceptual Framework for Arts Learning”, I saw that there was some information that I learned from past classes that I already understood. I knew that the standards was first established when Goals 2000s made dance a core subject in all schools. When that happened a council was formed to create standards to make sure that it included the most important concepts and ideas. Art programs are really important for school systems to enforce. The arts help children understand the world and society. The information students learn will help them understand the material they are learning in their other subjects. Having dance classes, will reiterate the information they are working on in other
It all began with shopping. First with my girlfriends over the years, goofing off on trips to the mall trying on gorgeous flowing gowns for fun, and then it was finally time for me to buy one, finally a formal occasion where I got to dress up in a fancy gown with high heels, my Mom took me to the mall. Even though it wasn’t quite prom, it was still a formal dance, a celebration of completing middle school and entering into

Ballet “Cry” simply showed to us real life of all African women. Every single American people know what kind of life they went through. Therefore it touched their heard. Alvin Ailey’s “Cry” presented wonderfully combined movements, technique and emotion. Ms. Donna Wood uses tragic face, a mask of sorrow. It is a face born to cry, but when she smiles it is with an innocent radiance, joyfulness that simple and lovely. She never tries consciously to please an audience. He was not only concentrating in movements and physical performance, but also using flowing white gown
I interviewed Miss Connie McGinnis, last Thursday morning. Mrs. McGinnis is one of the math/algebra teachers at Shawnee community college. She is my Algebra teacher. I chose Mrs. McGinnis because she is a great teacher and because she is a math teacher. I thought it would be interesting to see how much she uses writing since she is a math teacher and mainly uses numbers. It turned out to be very interesting, she had great answers.
A community is a group of people that share a common or similar characteristic with each other. Some communities can also consist of people living together or practice worship. My essay will include the communities that I am part of which are my dance, school and church communities.
The quote, “Dancing with the feet is one thing, but dancing with the heart is another,” has a lots of meaning to me. It shows that you need to focus more of what your heart is telling you while dancing, oppose to focusing more on the choreography. Some dancers never learn this and end up giving up on dancing. Others, connect to it right off the bat. I was one of those people.
The varieties of jazz dance reflect the diversity of American culture. Jazz dance mirrors the social history of the American people, reflecting ethnic influences, historic events, and cultural changes. Jazz dance has been greatly influenced by social dance and popular music. But, like so much that is “from America”, the history of jazz dance begins somewhere else.
The dance that I will be focusing on is entitled: thinking sensing standing feeling object of attention. The dance, to me, symbolizes the socialization of persons in Western civilization concerning gender roles. In the beginning there are gestures that are separated from emotion and full-embodiment, but as the dance progresses the gestures become more meaningful and recognizable. The lighting starts out very specific and narrow, then the light encompasses the entire stage, and eventually the dancers are silhouetted as they return to a familiar movement motif in the end. The music is mainly instrumental with occasional soft female vocals, and the lyrics suggest emotion, which is interesting because the dancers do not convey emotion until
I attended DancePlus show On Friday December 2, 2011 at 7:30pm at night. It was performed in the Victoria K. Mastrobounno Theater in New Brunswick, New Jersey. There were four different parts that I saw that day. All of the dances were very interesting and very different from each other. All of the dances had its own unique key factor that separated it from each other. I enjoyed the entire show very well. Out of all the dances I had strong reaction to “Lapa’s Lament”. I believe this specific dance stood out to me compared to the other dances from the show. This show had many different factors that stood out from other shows in the entire performance.
A series of set of movements to music, either alone or with a partner. That is the definition of dancing. Dancing is a way to express one's feeling and to get active.
For most elementary age students around the country the core subjects such as science, math, and reading are separated from the arts. However, schools across the country are slowly combining the arts with the other subjects and are finding success. Dance is one form of art that would have multiple benefits for students. Dance and physical movement should be incorporated into elementary education because it improves students’ attention and interest in learning, improves learning in core subjects, and promotes a healthy lifestyle in students.
