Dance moves

What do you think of when you hear the word ballerina? I know that I think of young women and girls that dance on their tippy toes. There special shoes that allow them to be able to do this are called a pointe shoe, and can be made for just one specific dancer. It’s not all graceful and effortless movements. If you are not trained for these shoes you can really get hurt. Today I will tell you the five major parts of them that all work together to make sure that the dancer does not get hurt. At…

These types of light shows started to grow with the aid of hallucinating drugs such as LSD or Ecstasy. In 2006, a light artist named Hermes put the lights into the gloves fingertips, this started a revolution in the way of dance and therapy. Hermes expressed in an interview with Emazinglights, who is one of the major gloving suppliers, “gloving is actually a new way of dancing…when they see it, it blows their mind.” Gloving has been picked up by music video directors, talent…

Senior night. One of the most important traditions my marching band has. I never quite understood the purpose of this tradition, was it to show progress? A last ‘hurrah’ for the upperclassmen to watch? It took me four years to understand completely what senior night really means. When you watch something you love go and take on this challenge without you, to perform, its amazing. Performing that halftime show to the best of their ability, showing to us that they don’t really need us to be…

the three. Resembling Van Halen’s song which is composed of notes, pitches, and beats, Vase, Bottle, and Fruit is composed of colors, shapes, and lines and Swan Lake is comprised of footwork, gestures, and pirouettes. Similar to rhythm in music and dance, Matisse’s…

dark bare stage in white “specials” as she pirouettes diagonally from stage left to stage right. During the piece, Trotter would often leap across the floor and stand on pointe. I am interpreting this dance as the dancer is hearing someone or something rather than listening to it. The concept of the dance reflects the title of the piece because the dancer is expressing through the choreography the ideal…

Their enjoyment is not as important as their ability to interpret the dance to the audience. All types of dancing require practice and technique, but probably none require as much as ballet. Ballet dancers seem to ignore the law of gravity as they float through the air in long, slow leaps. They keep perfect balance while they spin, and at times, their feet move so rapidly that the eye can hardly follow the movements. Women often dance on their toes while men lift them up like they were as light…

quicker than I thought it would and boy was I nervous. We were required to learn a cheer,chant, and a dance. Anytime you saw me I’d probably be going through that routine, it was ALL I did! 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8… hit, hit, clap,move, was constantly running through my mind. 3:15pm, Friday came and I was sick to my stomach! Group 5 was called in… oh no, what if i freeze up? I gave my absolute ALL. My moves were sharp and tight, my voice roared through the room, and I felt that toe touch all throughout…

The Tibet Monks performance at the Six O’Clock show was quite interesting and unique for numerous reasons, and I have learned significantly from it. There were a group of ten Monks who explained their history, language, communications, and dance/performances verbally and through body language, which was phenomenal. What really caught my eyes was that they were different from our culture, and it was fascinating to learn and understand other cultures. Overall, I learned many things from this show.…

dancers are on stage at the same time. Each dancer basically has half of the stage; first song is performed around the back pole, second song the dancer moves up to the front of the stage while a new dancer joins them in the back. So far I had restricted myself to just dancing on stage. Angel and Sky keep telling me that the real money is in private dances. They also told me about the champagne room and said this was ultimately where I wanted to be. A customer can rent out the space…

answer is a lot harder than one would think. According to sport nation, “Cheerleading is actually one of the most demanding sports out there”(Connolly). Cheerleaders have to hire a choreographer to make a great and fun routine. A normal routine has a dance at the end of a routine, a cheer in the middle routine, and stunts every 7 seconds. It takes about 24-48 hours to make a routine. Everyday cheerleaders practice their routine over and over again until it’s perfect.They bring…
