I could finally return to dance for my sophomore year at Booker T. Washington. The time I spent unable to dance led me to explore other pathways associated with the arts. Because I was not able to participate in my technique classes I was told to take extensive notes over corrections and the class as a whole; I began to draw connections from the first combination to the last. This was a cognitive approach to dance that I had never taken before, when I returned to dance I was able to take class…
Slowly walking through the multicolored road of ballet, when I looked back, I saw my step-by-step ballet growing footprints. When I was seven years old, I began to dance ballet for five years. This five-year experience was full of pain and joy. When I was 7 years old, I was sent by my parents to learn ballet. I was full of yearning, I really enjoyed the feeling of flying on the stage, more want to wear the white dress and shoes. I still remember when I first came to the dancing room, I was…
read for this class is called “The Dance Experience: Insights into History, Culture and Creativity” written by Myron Howard Nadel. I have been dancing in classes and recitals since I was three years old, and still continue to dance today. I love dancing because it is fun; it helps to relieve stress and allows any individual to use creativity in a diverse, moderate and entertaining way. I particularly chose this book because I wanted to go more in depth on how dance originated and also learn…
The Cry me a River dance video contained a free, fast-paced, fluid form throughout its entirety. For the most part, I felt the expression was empty with an edge of annoyance at times. To me, the dance imitated a relationship that had ended and was in the process of finding closure. This was indicated through their bodies. Their were many female dancers and one male dancer. They all appeared to be the same age. I think the females represented all the memories he had with the ex he has just come…
Millions of cameras of cameras casted everywhere, thousands of people and scouts in the stands, and athletes all going for pride and a trophy for bragging rights. I’m not talking about sports like football or basketball, but I’m talking about the fastest growing female sport, cheerleading. Cheerleaders are the pride and soul of school spirit, and sometimes what edges some programs along to be great. Cheerleading is practiced worldwide with multiple styles and types being participated in. Some…
Cheerleading The Debate: Is it a sport or activity? Cheerleader: a person who is a member of a group (typically a group of young women) who shouts out special songs or chants to encourage the team and entertain the crowd during a game in sports like American football and basketball (Merriam-Webster). In the beginning, cheerleaders did what they were known to do. They led cheers, with spirit and megaphones, for the crowd to follow. Then, as time went on, cheerleading evolved into co-ed teams,…

Dancing in Master Choreographers is always a wonderful opportunity. Not only, does it give a chance to perform in front of an audience, I appreciate the process being part of the creative process of developing a dance and seeing how it evolves over time. Performing is that moment where dancers can take all their hard work that they did in class and rehearsal and showcase it to family, friends, and the community. It is where facial expressions and conveying emotions becomes imperative. I…
When I first came to class, it was truly frightening getting in front of people to move my body like I have never moved it before. Even the dance move to the number of syllables to our names was way scarier than it should have been. The amount of growth that I have personally made, and that everyone else has made is tremendous. Moving was much harder, much less fluid than it was at the end of the semester. The more and more that we practiced movements, such as the partner touch and blind…
