awe-inspiring. I watched several of the dance contests. The Tiny Tots contest was so adorable and was great to see such young children actively participating in their culture. Another favorite was what they called the “Golden Age” dancers, where community elders took the stage. It meant so much to them, which was very profound. One of the older women looked very similar to my grandmother and reminded me of her. The centerpiece of the entire celebration of when the men’s fancy dance contest occurred. These were

Joey is a young energetic, confident and lovely person. She is very optimist and does not care about what other people says. In the movie Guess who’s coming to Dinner Joey is shown very different from the others characters because she does not discriminate other people based on race or colored. She treats everyone with the same respect does not see a difference between people. The other characters are not as optimistic as her and do not treat others the same was as joey does. For example, her maid

I’m just, I’m just, well, look for yourself!” I lift my leg up in front of her to reveal my bleeding feet. “Oh, I see,” Elena says. “You’re crying because you can’t handle all the hard work, aren’t you? You know, I’m sure Mindy, or even Eve could dance through a few cuts if they had the opportunity to play Juliet.” I am absolutely furious. Infact, if this were a cartoon, I would probably be as red as a crab and have steam coming out of my ears by now. I trudge over to my shoes, which were laying

On Saturday, January 14, 2017 the Dance Theatre of Harlem performed for their celebration of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This took place at New Jersey Performing Arts Center from 8pm to 10pm.

The choreographer created this piece in the vein of Dance Theater, with many similarities to other pieces of the time. The moves are straight out of ballet, although it is a bit unusual to see large male’s demi-pointe. I wonder if they practiced this stereotypically feminine move before this production? There also seems to be more freedom and disruption in this piece as opposed to a Royal Ballet. And yet, there is no overly styled moves set to a specific beat as in the Dido piece. From the video

Swan Lake, Romeo and Juliet, and The Firebird (McCann, 185). She is the face of Dannon, Estée Lauder, and Under Armour. Misty was on the cover of Time magazine as one of The Top Most Influential People of 2015 (McCann, 187). She got her first formal dance training at the age of 13- most dancers begin at the age of three or four. However, despite the late start into the sport, many said she was a “natural” or a “prodigy” (Copeland-

Is Cheer a Sport? The argument has been going on for centuries: should cheer be considered a real sport? The answer is yes, it is a real sport. It may not have started out as one, but it has evolved into something much bigger then it was. From here on, it will only get bigger and a lot more physically demanding. Just like all other sports, cheer requires coordination to reduce injuries and the motivation to work hard. Similar to all other “real sports,” you have to have a sense of coordination

powerful acts of (self-) violence to hard-hitting Israeli music. It made me think of Plisetskaya's Bolero. Several more very innovative dances followed. Then the dancers left the stage and entered the audience to pick members of the audience to join them on stage. This is where things went really wild. Each dancer had a partner, and they proceeded to do cha cha and swing dance all over the stage with the audience members, with the crowd going wild with delight. It's like the entire place became one big party

The mambo genre and dance style have a linked history. Since its origins in Cuba, Mambo has evolved into many dance forms, each one sporting different footwork and moves. All of these new, fast pace movements originated from the basic Mambo dance, which was popularized by Dámaso Pérez Prado. The lively mambo song, “Mambo No. 5” was composed and performed in 1952 by the Cuban-Mexican band leader Perez Prado. He was famously known as the ‘King of the Mambo’. Prado recorded numerous mambos and
