The music industry is full of very talented singers which raises the amount of competition between singers in order to get a position. Singers can be very good at singing but in this society that is merely not enough now. Singers must bring more to the table if they want to “fit in” as a lot of singers often have very good dancing skills and music videos as well. Singers who indolently work in this career usually do not get really far as being active is crucial for this career type. The majority…

cheer, a chant, and a dance. We learned them all in one day and practiced the other two days. When the two tryout days finally came, I was well practiced and ready. I did the cheer first, then the chant, and lastly the dance. We would find out if we made the team the next day and luckily I did make the team. For the first few weeks, we would just practice for upcoming football games and get to know our coaches and teammates. We learned new cheers, chants, and dances. A few weeks after…

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of visiting the exhibit Diaghilev and the Ballet Russes, 1909-1929: When Art Danced with Music at the National Gallery of Art. But this was not my first experience with this exhibit, no for I had the opportunity to perform in honor of this exhibit this past summer where I performed right outside the entrance the to the showcase. I performed the roles of the Faun in Vaslav Nijinsky’s Afternoon of a Faun, and Prince Ivan in The Firebird. The two performances…

Nutcracker. Of course, it all started with dance, or rather, without dance. My mom was driving me to the studio, but I was not feeling well, so she strode inside to inform my teacher I was unable to dance that day. When she walked back out, Mother casually asked me, “Did you know you’re going to be Clara?” My jaw dropped. I had never been more surprised than I had been at that moment. My ballet’s company, which provided additional opportunities to dance, ensured my automatic placement. I was…

Having minimal background of classical music before starting this class made me a little nervous for attending our first concert. I wasn't sure what to expect. I’ve never really listened to much classical music besides the group, The Piano Guys. However, while attending The Temple for the pipe organ demonstration recitals I was mesmerized. First, I am not from the Kansas City area so I had never heard or saw this Temple before and it was gorgeous. Second, Jan Kraybill played the pipe organ with…

My Own Cultural Clash All parents have high hopes for their children, they want them to become a: lawyer, doctor, engineer, or something along those lines, most adults just want their children to be successful. My career was practically chosen for me as early as the 3rd grade. I stood above everyone in the crowd, literally, I was 5’4”. I’m tall and black, so everyone had assumed I was either heavily into some kind of popular sport, but stereotypically the question I was most frequently asked…

Jones/Arnie Zane Company” which is based out of Harlem in New York City. With most of the company being residents of New York City. This made it more…

I honestly did not believe that I was nor did I carry myself as a leader until I got to Wilson High School. In middle school, at church, and within the different programs I am a part I was given leadership positions and was “successful” in them but Wilson High School and its community have taught me what it truly means to be a successful leader. A large part of my high school career has been dedicated to the cheerleading program here at Wilson High School. This is the aspect of my life that has…
