Dance move

us about yourself I was about five when I first fell in love. That was the year that I focused on dance, after my physician’s recommendation that it could help my Scoliosis. I can still remember stepping into the dance studio for the first time and feeling happy and excited. I was ready to test my physical limits and be free. Due to my medical conditions, outside of the dance studio I was bombarded with “could nots”. I could not do sports because a hit to the back of the head could…

Step Up is always the same, like the Odyssey Homer's The Odyssey is about a hero named Odysseus returning from The Trojan War trying to get back to his home Ithaca. In the end, he returns to Ithaca and lives happily ever after. This story was so epic that a man named Robert Fitzgerald decided to translate it to english so that everyone can read it. The Odyssey then inspires other authors to tell many of the great stories written in this epic poem which makes the Odyssey so relevant to others.…

child who is fourteen years old in a leotard and tutu. The girl is standing in an upright position as a ballerina with her hands interwind behind her back. The expression of the girl’s face is intriguing. She is calm and composed as she prepares to dance. This artwork also shows many details of the little girl’s face, clothes, and body composition.

yourself. It could be in when you were a little kid, or more relevant- high school. Elizalde wants us to reached 20 years later and picture ourselves committing everything that you are passionate about. I decided and committed to opening or running a dance studio business. Secondly,”No pain, no gain” (Elizalde para 20). Basically saying, you fall down, get right back up and do it again. This can apply to a dancers life because you literally go through blood, sweat, and tears. I been in this…

illusion to the audience that the dancers were floating on stage. The first documented performance en pointe happened in France between the years of 1815 and 1830, 240 years after the first ballet. Before King Louis VIV founded the Royal Academy of Dance in 1661, dancers performed on ballroom floors. After…

“Jessica, would you please just sit still for a few minutes?” is something I heard often as a child. I was always on the move, whether I was running, dancing, or twirling around the house. My older brother, however, was the complete opposite; he never was too active. Brandon like to relax, read a book, and just hang out. No, he loved to read books. Most of the pictures from our childhood consist of Brandon sitting next to me, reading way, and me looking bored or trying to escape. Some people…

contractions that soften their upright torsos, and lateral C-curves. The first section demonstrates that Cunningham began his choreography thinking about the shapes of ballet, then going beyond those familiar forms he explored how the torso could move out of them to create new shapes and movements.

with this, live events were popular as well. Adults went to see jazz players, dance performers, and plays. Although the audience was white-only, the performers were both white and African American. The most popular destinations for live events were all in Harlem, NYC. This includes Connie’s Inn, the Cotton Club, and the Apollo Theater. Most of these locations had a set-up of round tables with chairs surrounding a dance floor or stage. Adults usually smoked, ate, or drank non-alcoholic beverages…

"Good choreography fuses eye, ear and mind"-Arlene Croce. Choreography is the sequence of steps and movements in dance or figure skating, especially in a ballet or other staged dance. It is the art or practice of designing choreographic sequences or the written notation for a choreographic sequence. Most of the time choreographers are used in a musical of some sort.
