I attended the St. Ambrose University Dance Company Performance in the Rogalski Center Ballroom on Sunday, April 15th at 2pm. The dance company is a club here at St. Ambrose for students who may not have the time to fully commit to the dance team here at St. Ambrose. However, these individuals all share the love for dancing. Through this club they are able to continue to do so and practice dance without such a big time commitment. Although the time commitment is not as much, these six individuals; Rhett Koterba, Delaney Powers, Meagin Sichterman, Kaylin Sarver, Twyla Pereira and Libby Miller work incredible hard all year long to choreograph these beautiful pieces to perform for events like their showcase in the Rogalski Ballroom.

The music put with this piece was called Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap. All the girls wore white oversized T-shirts for this piece and they also used a prop with this performance.

The theme to this piece was more mysterious and it told a story making it easier to understand lyrics and interpret them. I liked how they mimicked the lyrics with movements in their dance. Specifically, during the part in the song when it says, “spin me around again” the girls all spun Libby around while she wore her blind fold. The only negative thing about Hide and Seek performance was some of the girls blind folds were a distraction because some of the girls struggled getting them out and putting them on while trying to perform. Another one of my favorites was the 5th piece choreographed and performed by Libby Miller. She used Calum Scott’s song, Dancing on My On. Libby did a great job acting out the theme of her piece. The choreography flowed so well with the music and her dancing was so graceful, I just loved watching her. She made it seem so effortless. In all of the performances she was in, my eyes were just drawn …show more content…
However, my least favorite performance was the fourth piece which used the music, Move (little mix) choreographed and performed by Rhett Koterba, Delaney Powers, Meagin Sichterman, Kaylin Sarver, and Twyla Pereira. I had a hard time trying to interpret and enjoy this piece considering no sets or props were used. The main reason I felt that way was because I did not enjoy the music as much as some of the other performances. Also within this piece it seemed to have a lot of redundancy which made it difficult to stay engaged.
