Dance moves

This movement grew from the idea that dance could go beyond simple entertainment: it could be used and be sued by people as a form of communication and expression of personal feelings. By the middle of the 20th century, the modern dance movement had paved the way for dance pioneers to develop the concept of dance therapy. Marian Chace, Mary Whitehouse, and Trudy Schoop were just a few pioneers of this emerging concept. By the 1940s, dance therapy was influenced by the psychodynamic theory…

goals you have to be motivated and spotting just doesn’t do that. Spotting doesn’t help us be focused on the task at hand, and keep us from becoming distracted; it just helps our body turn around. Dance can help us achieve our goals though because we often set goals ourselves, trying to work on a particular move so we can perfect it. I think that it would be more realistic be a more realistic point to say that we are always working to get better and that is what helps us keep our eye on the…

The Fall Dance Festival took place at the Texas Tech Maedgen Lab theatre on November 18, 2016 at 7:30 pm. I watched the ladies dance while listening to the music. The music did not sound exactly the same to me as it did to other members who were able to hear. I was late and did not catch a seat in the center of the theatre, which is the seating I prefer because it allows me to hear between my left and right side of hearing. I had to sit on the right side of the auditorium instead. The place…

had them. I imitated countless Michael Jackson dance steps. Then I continued rehearsing and training for my performances more than anything in my life. At daybreak I cavorted on the dead grassy schoolyard by myself because nobody played with me or appeared to appreciate what I did… at least that’s what I originally assumed. Droves of kids accosted me and said shit like, “What the hell are you doing?” I replied, “I’m just practicing so I can dance like Michael Jackson.” Some sprogs expressed…

completely present while seemingly in her own world. The street becomes hers. A black cat looks on from its red, wooden window box. Its expression turns amused as people hum and birds whistle with the girl, in perfect pitched. They step to her beat, dance with her dance, twirling as she twirls, bags and briefcases swinging in coordination. Then, she turns a corner off the street, her black hair being the last the people see of her. They slow to a standstill, looking at one another for the first…

During my high school years, the Dance Team had the privilege to learn about Modern Dance and how our movements can be used as an expression. As we were introduced into the subject we learned that we can perform with a purpose, moreover our performance had an intended message. To emphasize the influence of Charlie Chaplin’s dance skills in nowadays dancers, we are requirement to recognize that his performances were an interpretation…

destroying the world, and this in turn represents their need of one another. In Shiva’s actions of stopping Kali’s dance he is also not able to perform his own role of silent reality, but Kali’s dance at this point was too destructive to let run it’s course. One without the other would lead to an imbalance of the universe, therefore Shiva had to put a stop to Kali, because both must perform their dance in relation to reality in order to keep the universe in…

I continued soccer and dance, but also decided to involve myself into a couple more activities. I joined a cheerleading squad. The football team I cheered for and cheerleading squad I was apart of were connected to the school we went to, so I knew most of the guys on the football team as well as the girls on the cheer squad. Along with cheer I joined another dance team. Only this one was more involved. It was a competition dance team that competed every week. To join the team…

had the pleasure of seeing the performance The Future's So Bright performed beautifully by the Castilleja Dance Department and Production Workshop at Castilleja Private School. At first glance, this performance space looked like an average stage in a small auditorium, yet then the lights dimmed and it turned into a bright, musical, spectacular performance of dance. Prior to the actual dance, the school put together a well written slide show to help the audience visualize the issue of focus,…

The theme of friendship is apparent in this scene as Phillipe is shown to genuinely enjoy Driss' company. The two were brought together by Phillipe needing to have a caretaker but stay together because they want to. While Driss begins to dance, Phillipe is amused by his antics even though Phillipe is telling Driss to stop. An eye level close up allows the audience to see the content expression on Phillip's face. The crow feet rising up on the sides of Phillipe's eyes even though he is slightly…
