As a society, we have been inspired by the native African dances because they poured their souls into the dances which all had meaning.

audition, but failing miserably each time. I felt devastated and wanted to escape these walls. As a young child, I often watched YouTtube videos of the dance practice versions of my favorite K-pop groups’ songs. Unsure of how their bodies could move in such a way, I knew in my heart that no matter how hard I tried or practiced, I could never dance like that.

When people look at me they see a stereotypical black girl they assume you know all of the latest dances and slang.

There were many small set pieces and props that were gorgeously painted, and made the scene look as if they were in a children's pop-up book. Overall, the set was simple, but well executed and only took up a small amount of space, while also having the scenes filled with colour.

I am a cheerleader who cannot dance. A cheer routine consists of three main components, stunting, tumbling, and dancing. I have been cheering for over six years and still have no rhythm. Every year when it comes time to learn our choreography my coach already has my spot. It does not offend me because I have learned to overcome and find pleasure with my inability.

She was sparkling like a superstar ever. I was fully engaged in her performance and the embryo of learning hip-pops started to spread out. When coming back home, I asked my mother had a favor

Homecoming for us. We chose this song to represent the Sophomore class and we created a used a dance that we found online.
