Competitive dance

When I think about dance teams, I don't necessarily think of the dancing concept but rather the friendships and the memories made. Most people feel most confident and accustomed to what they live with everyday, making life changing decisions very difficult to make. Me being one. I danced on a Competitive Dance Team called Dance Dynamics, and never expected to ever leave. I was brought up a question by my former dance teacher asking if I ever considering being on my High School Drill team.…

The dictionary defines a sport as, “An athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature.” (“Sport”).

As a dancer, I danced my entire four years of high school. During my senior year I realized how much dance was underrated. When…

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…

Massey School of Dance is not only a competitive dance studio but a family where I spent 15 years of my life learning life lessons and amazing choreography. I started dancing at Massey when I was three years old and I loved every second of it. When I was younger I played soccer, was on a gymnastics team, played softball, and danced, when I reached the age of 10 I quit everything but dance. At the young age of 8 I was asked to be on our competition team because my dance techniques were high…

which is a non-competitive inhibitor according to ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, the ‘with inhibitor’ will be lower and never reach the Vmax of the ‘without inhibitor’ curve. In figure 8, which is the Lineweaver-Burk plot, the graph had 2 linear lines with an equation in a form of y=mx+b. As you can see in the graph, the ‘with inhibitor’ (Cinnamic acid) line was on top of the ‘without inhibitor’. Since it is a non-competitive, the 2 lines did not intersect at y-axis. Also, Cinnamic acid is competitive…

The evidence that corroborates competition is that the percentages were 57% and 58% which dictates that competition can explain cohabitation. Furthermore the competitive exclusion hypothesis states that no two species can occupy the same niche and coexist. In figure one, we can see that PcMix was starting to diminish because it cannot inhabit the same niche and would have continued to decrease until extinction.…

interpretation of Jazz dance has evolved. Originally, I had no idea what Jazz dance was or what it consisted of. After being in the class for a couple of weeks now, my perception of Jazz dance is that it is an art style that involves multiple rhythms of the body, which coincides with music. To reiterate from the readings, I believe it is too complex to actually try to define what Jazz dance is, since everyone who performs it experiences it much differently. Attempting to define Jazz dance would…
