Eating disorders creep around dance studios, waiting for the next victim to tightly latch on to. Society hears about eating disorders quite frequently, however the dance world encounters them almost every day. People who truly care about ballerinas and young women in the ballet world understand the struggle to avert dancers from eating disorders. When dancers are told they look “too womanly” a dancer’s mind automatically takes a hint to lose weight (Hamilton 28). Choreographers, directors, and…

I was a consistent member at the PBG meetings and making sure to interact with all of the femtee, even if they were not specific paired with me. I was consistently in an intense dance battle with Skylar, joking round with Taylor or doing arts and crafts with Peyton. I loved interacting with all of the girls and made sure to do everything in my power to create a safe and fun environment. Why would you like to be apart of…

Also using large whole body movements in a curved pattern, the dancers used general space and the entire open space of the stage often. Each piece of the dance used music in combination with movement to place emphasizes on different phases of choreography. Emphasizing phrases of movement in combination with the dramatic tones of the music brought highlights to the movement phases.…

In this specific performance of the Tango, there is an older gentleman and a younger female. The man does not look as if he is controlling, but the dance tells otherwise. The two dancers never lose eye contact throughout the whole dance. This never breaking contact shows the intimacy and passion throughout the whole three-minute tango. This dance takes the story line of the “inspired relationship between a prostitute and her pimp” as stated from the Tango presentation. I say this because of the…

In my elementary school years, my peers bullied me, reason being why I used to be very shy and antisocial; I still am an often quiet and reserved person. Despite that fact, there was something paradoxical of my own personality: I enjoyed performing. Whether it was on-stage with an audience or at home alone, I always had a thing for singing my guts out and dancing like nobody's watching. I still do, but I’ve only realized this now. It may have begun in third grade, when I danced on stage at my…

could. Saturday mornings I’d watch her slip on her tap shoes and flaunt her new dance moves she learned at dance class. I quickly acquired a pair for myself to copy her. We clanked, shuffled, and stomped, enjoying the various sounds our feet produced. Those Saturdays disappeared to mere memories once my sister was diagnosed with leukemia. She was isolated in a hospital bed for almost three years. Knowing that dance was her dream, I continued taking classes, learning as much as I could, and…

The gymnast closed her eyes. Her arms swayed gracefully into each pose and traced the motions she was about to compete. As she visualized herself flipping four feet off the floor on a four inch beam, her body trembled and her palms perspired. Over the past 16 years of her life, she has spent four and a half hours, five days a week, 52 weeks of the year, training in the gym, for this moment. As she concluded her mental routine, the athlete smiled gently at her coach and made her way over to…

On April 14th, I attended a concert performed by Flux Pavilion in Washington, DC. Flux Pavilion is a soloist that plays as a DJ at many concerts. Most often his music would be considered Electronica or Dubstep. Some of the songs that he included in his performance were I Can’t Stop, Pull the Trigger, and Cut Me Out. The people that attended the concert were very in tune with the music getting excited like the DJ jumping up and down and shouting. By the DJ getting excited about the music it made…
