West Side Dance Studio is a dance studio in South Florida. The most important concept I learned out of the four years I danced there is that dancers do not use their words to express emotion, they use their body. The teachers there always express how important it is to tell a story with our bodies. That is why we dance, to express emotion and tell a story to our audience when performing. Dancers at West Side Dance Studio use body language to accomplish their goal of expressing emotion and telling a story to the audience.
My purpose for writing this research paper is to explain how dancers at West Side Dance Studio use body movements as a language to express emotion. A dancers and teacher’s notebook is a very important genre in body language. …show more content…
So far, the audience should understand how the notebook functions in this discourse community. I have interviewed one of my friends that dances at West Side Dance Studio as well as the founder. These interviews will help my audience understand more the concept of body language because it shows personal insight more than just background information.
The names of the people I interviewed are Andrea and Ms. Jessica Millman. I decided to interview Andrea not only because she is one of my closest best dance friends, but because she sets a great example for the studio. All the teachers always compliment on how much she has improved since her first time at the studio. The little kids look up to her, as so did I. Out of all the dancers in my class, I can say that she showed the most dedication and passion. Andrea is a great role model when it comes to dancing. Here are the three questions I interviewed her:

I keep a journal at home where I write down my corrections and fix them. In class then I am able to focus more on body language.
Pierina: What helps you the most to think about expressing emotion when dancing?
Andrea: I just have to be confident on my technique and my knowledge of the combination so I feel the music and express emotion. As you can see from a student-dancer’s perspective, it takes work for us to use body language and still have proper technique. The constraint for body language is not having passion and dedication. In addition to Andrea, I interviewed the founder of West Side Dance Studio, Ms. Jessica. She was my first ballet teacher at the studio. She helped me grow into a well-rounded dancer and person. Here are the two questions I interviewed her:
Pierina: Why is body language important when dancing?
Ms. Jessica: Body language is a form of communication between the dancers that helps them tell the story of the dance to the audience.
Pierina: How can a student-dancer improve expressing emotion when dancing?
Ms. Jessica: It takes time and hard-work for a dancer to start expressing emotion
