November 7, 2015 at 1300, I was able to visit the Ruggieri Senior Center in Union City. Around the time I visited, the seniors are having their weekly ballroom extravaganza in which couples and willing participants ages 60 and up are dressed in their ballroom outfits. They have their friends, husband, and wives dancing to different types of ballroom dances such as cha-cha, waltz, foxtrot, merengue, Chinese jitter, and samba. The women were wearing colorful and glittery-dancing outfits while the…

Dance to Live or Live to Dance Ballroom dancers take the floor and always seem to have everything together, but what is going on under the surface?

I’ve always enjoyed the rush of performing. The stare of thousands of eyes on you, the music ringing loudly in your ears. Sometimes, though, it’s too much. My whole life is a performance, always pushing me to be perfect in the suddenity of the moment. Don’t be fooled however, it’s a horrible show I always put on. When I was three years old, I was bouncing off the walls, digging in pots, being the problematic child. The only things that calmed me were singing and generally being worn out. That…

Dancing Dreams is a ballet dance program for young girls that face special challenges. Being a part of this program had an effect on my outlook on life where I transitioned from a child to an adult mentally. Each of the young girls I had worked with were different in their own way and each had an impact on me. The first day of the program I was a bit nervous. Kaity, my dance partner, had a difficult time walking and getting around the studio. Despite this, my dance partner will always have a…

Jazz is comprised of many different elements of dance, like African, concert, ballroom and street dance. Jazz became a melting pot and people have strayed from jazz in exchange for new types of dance.

Shut Up and Dance At the age of three, I walked on stage to perform my very first dance recital. Little did my parents know that I wasn’t there to dance but to fluff up the tutus of my fellow dancers. I was very concerned with the beauty of myself and my classmates. That’s why I made sure to help them look their prettiest. That was my main concern as a young child but as time as gone on, I have grown up. I now care about more things then my dance class or team being pretty. I care about my…

The way this dance was, you had to enter the ballroom floor with a specific way of stepping to the beat using your heels, but also like ice skating in a way. Dancing wasn’t as easy as it is now, well for some people. Some other types of dances were Jigs and reels, which as I mentioned before enslaved people and lower class white people would use these methods of dancing, but so did the Virginians. When you would dance “Jigs” it required to only dance with one person and partner, for the “Reels”…

Hip-hop dancing has been my solid ground where I stood over the course of eight years. As I grow, I want to start learning how I can transcend my skills and discover something new. As part of my research, I want to develop the idea of what type of dance I should newly put my attention towards where it will expand my horizons and further help the skills I have this present. Since I was young, I have had the passion of dancing. I’ve had this strucken…
