Thinking this was going to be an easy experience I soon realized that it was nothing how I thought it was going to be.

with the audience, to attack choreography and not just go through the motions. Resulting in strong movement quality I perceive this as strength as Bandauer.D, Rovegno.T(2016)state “Simply performing the skill is not enough—the quality of the movement matters” I feel that the training I have received can help me to push myself as a performer.

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…

One thing that happened this year with all the injuries was that Schevchenko, Lane and Brandt were now dancing the leads in ballets like "Le Corsaire" and others. This meant they were pulled out of dancing things like the Odalisque trio and someone had to replace them. Luciana Paris was injured and not dancing until the end of the season.

Her name was Stephanie and she was the Color Guard Caption Head for Phantom Regiment. I looked down, closed my eyes and waited for the music to begin. As a performer, I have been accustomed to auditions and have auditioned for several things over the course of my life, but my audition for…

performance I related to the most was the dance segment the girl performed at the end of part 1. I’ve been taking dance lessons since I could stand, and as a dancer, I felt a connection with her movements and the emotion conveyed throughout the choreography.

with the actual workout, but I felt stupid enough doing the samba in my living room. Perhaps I would have been less distracted by the wardrobe if I was able to get all the fancy footwork down. I've never been particularly adept when it comes to choreography, so if you happened to enjoy the first Samba Party, then I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy this one as well.
