Flat feet

Having flat feet can affect parts of your body that are not even close to the feet. When one has flat feet, the ankles tend to overpronate. Because there are no arches to hold the foot up, the ankle falls inward. This means that if one with over pronation were to squat, the knees would go inward and hit each other. Over pronation in the ankles makes the the legs turn inwards which eventually leads to the hips internally rotating. In the long run, this misalignment could severely affect the back and neck, leading to scoliosis and other spinal issues. Any type of flat feet will affect one’s balance. Because the ankles are over pronated, it is more difficult to stay stable on the toes or on one leg. It will also be difficult to jump because…

These performances in the mid 1830’s incited the amalgamation of the two styles and the resultant vernacular style. He continued…

The essence of tap dancing comes from the tempo. Tap dancers have to “listen to the rhythm” to execute their paces. Tap dancing seemed to be particularly developed in America and especially on the East coast. This movie shows that this type of dance is unisex and that dancing is not only “for girls”. On the contrary, the only main character seen in the movie that is a female tap dancer is Amy; the other characters are a majority of males. When the characters are talking about tap they mention it…

his feet so I could sit down. He didn’t. Instead I sat across from him on my coffee table. “Normally, people your age want to hang out for a while.” He said. He ignored my skeleton comment completely, except for the small smile in the corner of his mouth. I let out an oh and began picking at my fingernails. “We can leave right now if you’d prefer that.” He pointed his thumb towards the door. “We can stay for tonight I guess.” I said.

Collegiate Essays and Research Reports I believe that I believe that I believe that this essay is the worst ever created. This sentence is pure filler, included solely to expand the length of this abomination of a "paper" to the minimum required length. (Hopefully, you didn 't notice that.
