quickly learn diverse skills that will always change and advance. Every dance and cheer they perfect and every stunt they hit will just mean that there is a more difficult one waiting to be learned. No matter how tight their motions are or how loud their voices are in their dances and cheers, there is always room to be tighter and yell louder. In addition, cheerleaders practice 2-3 hours a day, learning stunts, tumbling, cheers, dances and how to engage with the crowd, audience and judges, to…

The stories in which were expressed so adamantly on the program and through the art of a dance entitled “Here we are.” This power behind the performers twists and turns and the pain so easily expressed through the creases and frowns on their faces, led me to believe that these dancers were human and had experienced events that have made them…

make it in the world of dance. Dancers are told at young ages that they must have the body of a ballerina in order to make it as a professional dancer. The body of a ballerina is often described as having long legs with a long torso and also being very athletic looking. Also in ballet there is a pressure placed on dancers to be perfect. Dancers are told that there is always someone better then them and that they must keep trying until they are perfect in all aspects of dance. This mindset…

immediately be directed towards the metaphoric implications of each movement, but these metaphoric processes operate as a fundamental characteristic of dance. Physical gestures are an innate characteristic of the way people communicate with each other as they “…can reveal aspects of meaning that are not, or even cannot, be present in words alone” (Kövecses 72). Dance, at its simplest definition, is but an exaggeration of these human gestures; the choreographer can manipulate the movement…

experience things most adults have not done. I have traveled to Japan, England, Scotland, been on four cruises to Cozumel, Grand Cayman, St. John/ St. Thomas, Tortola, Nassau, and the list goes on and on. I have owned a horse, taken riding lessons, dance lessons, I ski every year, my car was a gift to me, and I don’t really have bills I have to pay myself. Although from the outside my life has been more than perfect, I have had some really hard times. Nothing in my life is just handed to me. I…

characteristics of an innovator. Mary Wigman is so, she wanted to follow her dream in dance, regardless of the objection from her parents. In her eyes everyone was a dancer and that dance reflects what lies in the inner self. Mary was born in Germany, November 13, 1886. She attended school in Germany, but on a visit to Amsterdam she attended a dance performance choreographed by Emile Jaques, she was awoken and shaken by the dance, progressing her to the love for this art. Following this even she…

Kaylea Erwin Von Rothbart’s evil spell Swan Lake ballet happened to be Tchaikovsky’s first ballet that he had ever done, and which is turned out to be one awesome ballet. Swan Lake was a timeless and outstanding story that has magic, romance, and tragedy all into four different acts of the show. Prince Siegfried was the swan princess who was named Odette. Odette enjoyed her days as a swan swimming by the lake that was full of tears under the spell of sorcerer. As it is in most fairy tail…

body. She stopped taking care of her body for a while, since those words had traumatically affect her. She ended up realizing that there was no way she could lose her hips or breasts; she had to embrace her body. Her body was a necessity in order to dance, and she had to love both in order to become the mazing dancer she is…

body. Occasionally a grass skirt was in order, but only for the hula dances. However, for the rest of her time Keke's wardrobe consisted of her bikini and bare feet. She had naked toes, with an absence of nail polish. Her feet had a few scars on them from the coral reef incident she had the last time she attempted surfing. Her legs also hosted a variety of marks, mostly around her knees. Keke was a tomboy, though she loved to dance too.…
