On February 15, 2017 I observed the three-year old program at Harmony Elementary School. At the start of the morning, the students participated in their morning exercise which consisted of all the students dancing to a video on the smartboard. After the morning exercise, the leader led the students in their morning activities (American Flag Salute, Oklahoma Flag Salute, moment of silence, identified shapes and colors, calendar activities, number count, weather, and birthdays for the week) while

Once upon a time, thirteen years ago, I was born. On September twenty-first, it will be fourteen years. I was born into a very musical family and have been involved in music and theatre since first grade. My house is not only home to my two older sisters and my one little brother, but also my three dogs and my two cats. Outside of class you will most likely see me singing in choir or performing onstage for F.A.M.E. I also love to run, so you'll probably also see me in cross country. I started pre-school

It is used to gather those whose passion is presenting their own interpretation of what the traditional dance portrays and allows them to present their creations. Tahitian dance, similar to all Polynesian dance, is used to tell stories through motion and sound.

The Distinguished Young Women Program, formerly known as Junior Miss, is a scholarship program in which girls who are high school juniors from all over the county compete in areas of Scholastics, Personal Interview, Talent, Self-Expression and Fitness. But for those actually in the program, we know that it is so much more.

variety of things cheerleaders do in it. Usually people who are not familiar with cheer think it’s effortless to do a two minute and thirty second routine but in reality it’s a lot more. In cheerleading, the routine almost always consists of tumbling, dance, and stunts. The first part of cheer that takes time, patience, and energy is tumbling. The tumbling section is divided into two parts standing and running tumbling. Tumbling is a hit or miss because you can have really good days or really bad

Since the beginning of time, music and dance has been a form of entertainment for millions of people. As audiences across the world prepare for dance performances, they typically expect to see something that is lively, exciting, and unique. However, what most audiences of dance and musical performances neglect to consider is the origins and importance these forms of dance and music have on culture. It is truly astounding how synonymous music and history have been and continue to be. Understanding

believe did contribute to some unusual mistakes. This contributed to many areas where we may had been forgetful and off time from each other simply because we were working before hand at a pace faster than our brains could comprehend, just to finish the dance.

Our peers had identified

To describe the performance, I observed three young ladies, showing their body shapes threw a white squared frame. Each lady also had a different shape that they pulled out of the bag that contains a message with their shape. The young woman used the square frame to mimic the stereotype of what most males most likely look at when they’re looking at a female. The three women were also dressed differently.

Don’t Dance like a Pervert Grinding has taken over our dances. In case you’re not familiar with this current style of dancing at Hanover High school, it’s a practice where a male comes behind a female and presses his genitals into her buttocks repeatedly, while she limply bends over. Sounds disgusting, right? Unfortunately, more than 3/4 of the female student population at Hanover High have been subjected to this vile form of dancing. Older males are pressuring girls as young as freshmen to partake
