legs appears to be stepping forward and her arms spread backwards similar to the wings of the Nike. I decided to use this form of art and figure as my representation because dancing creates motion and depicts elegance. Ballet is one of the form of dances which involves gracefulness in posture and movements. Moreover, ballet is also a form of competition, which perfectly represent Nike as it is the symbol of being victorious. Overall, Nike of Samothrace is a piece of artwork that conveys the…

When A Chorus Line premiered in the 299-seat black box theatre, it became an immediate sensation and moved to Broadway. Its message of determination and triumph resonated not only with dancers in the audience, but also with the general population, says dancer Leslie Woodies, who played Cassie in the New York Shakespeare Festival production. “I remember people would wait 30 or more minutes by the stage door to tell us their stories,” she says. “Even years later, when I was in On Your Toes, a…

Being a member of such a wonderful and hardworking team has been one of the most rewarding and unforgettable experiences ever. We attended the Universal Dance Association competition…

The music industry is full of very talented singers which raises the amount of competition between singers in order to get a position. Singers can be very good at singing but in this society that is merely not enough now. Singers must bring more to the table if they want to “fit in” as a lot of singers often have very good dancing skills and music videos as well. Singers who indolently work in this career usually do not get really far as being active is crucial for this career type. The majority…

cheer, a chant, and a dance. We learned them all in one day and practiced the other two days. When the two tryout days finally came, I was well practiced and ready. I did the cheer first, then the chant, and lastly the dance. We would find out if we made the team the next day and luckily I did make the team. For the first few weeks, we would just practice for upcoming football games and get to know our coaches and teammates. We learned new cheers, chants, and dances. A few weeks after…

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of visiting the exhibit Diaghilev and the Ballet Russes, 1909-1929: When Art Danced with Music at the National Gallery of Art. But this was not my first experience with this exhibit, no for I had the opportunity to perform in honor of this exhibit this past summer where I performed right outside the entrance the to the showcase. I performed the roles of the Faun in Vaslav Nijinsky’s Afternoon of a Faun, and Prince Ivan in The Firebird. The two performances…

When asked about what she will miss…

Nutcracker. Of course, it all started with dance, or rather, without dance. My mom was driving me to the studio, but I was not feeling well, so she strode inside to inform my teacher I was unable to dance that day. When she walked back out, Mother casually asked me, “Did you know you’re going to be Clara?” My jaw dropped. I had never been more surprised than I had been at that moment. My ballet’s company, which provided additional opportunities to dance, ensured my automatic placement. I was…

Having minimal background of classical music before starting this class made me a little nervous for attending our first concert. I wasn't sure what to expect. I’ve never really listened to much classical music besides the group, The Piano Guys. However, while attending The Temple for the pipe organ demonstration recitals I was mesmerized. First, I am not from the Kansas City area so I had never heard or saw this Temple before and it was gorgeous. Second, Jan Kraybill played the pipe organ with…
