After watching this video I feel like I need to immediately put my kids back in their dance class they were attending until about a month ago, all for good reason. I also felt amazingly blessed for a few different reasons. Although this was the first Ted Talks video I have seen, and the first time watching Sir Ken Robinson speak, I know it will not be the last. Sir Ken began speaking about human creativity and the variety and range. He explained how a little girl was drawing a picture in class…
Cinderella’s Mice, directed by George Koller, music and lyrics by Ben Morss, book and additional lyrics by Justin Warner. The play was performed on September 26, 2015 in Glenn Auditorium. The opening scene started with a short monologue between Heath Burnett (Spencer), Alana Lambert (Mitzi) and Stephanie Mills (Cinderalla). We meet the evil stepmother and evil twin sisters, Mona and Whina. The opening scene shows the struggles the mice and Cinderella have to go through day to day. Everybody…
practice I walked into the Page building and looked around confused. I was rushed into the practice room also known as the cafeteria. I listened intently as the coaches introduced themselves and taught us how to stretch properly. We also learned a dance and how to jump. The forty-five minutes passed by quickly and I couldn't wait to go back the next week. I also couldn't wait until my first competition. My first competition finally happened in December. We had sparkly outfits as we didn't…
the year 1518. All along the streets, and anywhere that could be seen, the people of the city were involved in an uncontrollable dance. Only heart attacks and strokes would result in the ending of the dance. While this may sound unbelievable, or unintelligent, the victims could not help their ill-decided fate. When the first woman, known as Frau Troffea, began to dance, she began to “silently twist, twirl and shake,” as the History channel states. As the solo performance occurred for nearly a…
I would like to study Early Years Primary Education in order to become a qualified teacher and work with children in a variety of schools. I have always aspired to be a teacher from around the age of 6, due to the fact that I enjoy working with children of all abilities in order to strengthen them academically and as an all round individual. I have completed 4 weeks of works experience at Queens Road Academy, Barnsley. Throughout works experience I was rewarded greatly and learnt many valuable…
The dressage helps the horse and the rider to communicate with each other and develop a balance, strength, flexibility and accuracy. The riders follow the natural movements of pony like its dance, signaling the horse to walk, trot, or canter. Dressage is essential for a variety of factors like balance, suppleness, and obedience with the purpose of improving and facilitating the performance of the horse for a normal task. This discipline is…
Our hands are one of our most important tools in regard to communication. We can use them to do a number of things such as gesture express emotion with words, or touch to emphasize our words, or even using emblems, which convey a message without the use of any words. We almost rely on our words, and some of us can not even talk without using our hands. Most of us use our hands every day without even noticing. A good example of this is in class, we raise our hands to indicate we have a question…
This piece that really stood out to me was “The snow.” The snow stood out to me because of their bizarre moves and tempo of the music. As seeing the nutcracker as someone who never been given the opportunity to watch my ballet production, I somewhat enjoy the production. It was very confusing cause i didn't know what the nutcracker storyline was about. Though the production Act, instrumental background help set the mood of the performance. In this Act of the snow was part one, it had mice and…
spend my winter break. I used to be best friends with this girl named Ellie, but I’m not her best friend anymore ever since she hung out with the popular girls. We had dance tryouts and I ended up making the team! There was only room for three girls in one of the dances. It was me, Ximena, and Summer. At our first practice our dance teacher, Mrs. Atanabi told us not to be late and she was late! She…
A Cheerleading Performer: Before the music starts your blood rushes through your veins like a shark about to catch its prey. The anticipation to hit the routine is like no other feeling. The voices of your opponents racing through your head telling you “you aren’t good enough’ and to “quit while your ahead.” This is it all or nothing. Leave it all on the floor. The music starts, back handspring step out round off back layout twist. Nailed it. Quickly dart across the mat to get to left panel…
