Dance move

Dance is a non-threatening, non-competitive way to challenge participants to improve physical skills and artistic expression. The abundance of research shows the benefits of physical activity in general, and dance, in particular.

One of the songs that brings be back to a moment in time is “Can’t Stop The Feeling” by Justin Timberlake. This song brings be back to my senior year of high school when all my school came together to learn a fun dance that we incorporated into the lip dub that we filmed. My school did this lip dub on the day of our all school retreat. During this day we all come together as a school to worship, pray, and hear some talks from some speakers during the first part of the day. In the afternoon we…

During the Spring Break of 2015, I had a two hour dance camp Monday through Thursday on top of my regular classes. On Monday Carly challenged me to dance 50 hours that week; I laughed. However, I wanted to accept her challenge as much as I could so I set a goal to practice 24 hours that week. Each day I worked on a specific dance. These consisted of the Reel, Light Jig, Slip Jig, Single Jig, Treble Jig, Hornpipe, and a set dance. Each dance has two steps that are done on the right and left…

buffer zone is about arm’s length. Basically, it is long enough so if I stretch in any direction I should not be able to touch anyone. This measurement of space developed from my younger years in dance school. I was in dance school from the time I was five years old until I was eleven years old. In dance school they always had us stretch out our arms for distance and spacing. This was put in place to prevent anyone from getting hurt while we were moving around. The combination of this and my…

elastic I was, with my skinny little body, almost like a compass when I opened it. In the same way that I could not eat everything I wanted, since I had to follow diets so as not to get fat. If it were not for the great passion and love, I felt for the dance I would not have been able to go through the sacrifices that happened in my…

I attended the St. Ambrose University Dance Company Performance in the Rogalski Center Ballroom on Sunday, April 15th at 2pm. The dance company is a club here at St. Ambrose for students who may not have the time to fully commit to the dance team here at St. Ambrose. However, these individuals all share the love for dancing. Through this club they are able to continue to do so and practice dance without such a big time commitment. Although the time commitment is not as much, these six…

nothing else and I can just enjoy and focus on the activity on its own. Consequentially, I spent a lot of time doing it and became quite good at dancing, and there were many people out there who would criticize and be very jealous of me. By accepting my dance as a free gift and not worry about living up to the expectations of all these people, I can more freely participate it by not have their judgments cloud my mind and focus solely on my dancing. Trying to explain it as something other than a…
