Dance

the team every year is to win, but we also like to have fun. Natalie Meloche elaborates on how she feels about spending countless hours at the studio perfecting her routines, “Going to dance class is my favorite part of my day because I can always escape whatever is going on in my life and just let loose and dance. I also love to see my friends and teachers as well.”  In fact, three of the four girls I got answers from said they enjoyed going to class while the fourth had mixed feeling about it.

filled me. I became part of a dance academy when I was 13 years old, and it was because my sister wanted to learn to dance for her Quinceañera. It’s kind of ironic how something that would be very important to me started so simple. But I guess that’s just how the best things in life happens. The first time I dance in public was for a T.V show. There were a lot of people, including my family and some friends. Everyone was so excited because my sister and I were going to dance on TV for the first time

this night was a gem in the 6 months of memories I had collected there. Cultural dance revealed to me the nostalgia of a Renaissance past, which deepened my love for Italian culture. Dance has the ability to reveal hidden intentions of the heart, create compelling stories, and preserve cultures. My dream as a student of dance is to create movement that conveys these things and preserve them for time to come. Dance has always been a part of my life. I choreographed shows for neighbors at the age

Whether an individual dances for fun or they dance competitively, dancing is a great way to meet new people and build relationships. Genre Analysis: English in Academic and Research Settings, a book written by John M. Swales, elaborates on discourse communities and the six characteristics of these communities. “A ‘discourse community’ is a group of people who share certain language-using practices... to extent ‘discourse community’ borrows from the literacy-critical concept of ‘interpretive community’”

After spending a semester in improvisation class, I can honestly say that this course has been one of the hardest, annoying, but probably the most relevant and important dance classes I have taken thus far in my dancing life. This course also turned out to be the complete opposite of what I originally thought it was going to be like. At the beginning of the semester, I was a firm believer that improvisation, was any movement that a dancer does that is on the spot, random, wild, and without thought

Dance Review From Wednesday, March 1st, to Saturday, March 4th, I attended the American College Dance Association (ACDA) conference. About 20 difference colleges participated in the conference, which took place at Modesto Junior College. The conference was a 4 day event that consisted of 4 adjudication concerts and one final Gala performance. The Gala performance, which occurred on the last night of the conference, lasted a little over 2 hours and showcased the adjudicators’ top 11 pieces from

“And 5, 6, 7, 8!” Along with music and dance, this line itself gave me utter joy. For me, it was the meaning of a new beginning. A beginning in which each dancer came together to perform as one. United as one, we all spoke the same language, the language of dance. Dance and medicine have no direct correlation, but for me, they are one. Dancing on stage, in front of an audience, gave me this thrill and excitement that I never felt while doing other things in life. And it always had me coming back

Dance Lessons My hands were sweating bullets, my stomach felt like it is a butterfly habitat. It was nearly seconds before I was to perform on stage. Here, let me back it up a little bit. It was early September, late August of the year 2007; when my dad and I walked from my old house to a somewhat small house up the road. It was blue and there was a beautiful dance studio in the basement called Bleakers. I was two turning three, so I wasn’t completely clear on what dance was, or what I was doing

Dancing is a recreational activity that has been enjoyed by millions of people for centuries. There have been countless styles of dance and thousands of memorized steps that have been performed in front of people or even just simply enjoyed alone without and audience. When a handful those thousands of steps come together, it creates a routine. Even though there are countless dancers that are breathtaking when they perform the routine in front of and audience, most dancers cannot be proficient without

On Saturday, March 28, 2015 at 8pm, I took a trip to the Public Playhouse located in Cheverly, Maryland to witness the “World Dance Showcase”. The “World Dance Showcase” was comprised of six different dances. However, I decided to focus solely on the dance titled “Night in an English Village Pub” that was performed by Charm City Rapper Sword Dancers. This dance was performed by Sindee Ernst, Miriam Hack, Jack Hemler, Rhonda Keilholtz, Kappy Laning, Megan Philippi, Laura Robertson, Joe Shelby, Alexandra
