In the Fall Dance Concert, I noticed many strengths and weaknesses of my performances, but I also noticed my growth as a dancer. Even between two different days of performances, they were both distinct in their own ways.

On Thursday I saw that my turn out on various steps was getting lost, but on Friday it was much…

This dance event hosted by the department of theater and dance at Montclair State University was a spectacular event that you would not want to miss. This dance event ,that took place in Alexander Kasser Theater, had six dances and one dance film.

The overall experience caused me to realize that dancing takes an abundance of endurance and the ability to keep a straight face during intense environmental circumstances.

Different styles of dance have derived from other forms of traditional dances such as ballet. Every style of dance performed in a studio has some element of ballet…

A world wide human activity, dance integrates the coordination of intentional body movements, performed in synchronization with rhythmical stimuli, usually together with other individuals (Murcia, Kreutz, Clift, & Bongard, 2010).
