Just Dance

become a dance teacher is rather lengthy and stress inducing. Your dance training will start at a very young age. Normally this is around age 2 or 3 that you will be placed in your first class, however, students can be placed in classes even earlier like myself. I was placed in dance classes just a few months after I began walking. Growing up in the studio is a different experience that some people would struggle to comprehend. There are days you will spend hours nitpicking steps just to make…

Dancing in Master Choreographers is always a wonderful opportunity. Not only, does it give a chance to perform in front of an audience, I appreciate the process being part of the creative process of developing a dance and seeing how it evolves over time. Performing is that moment where dancers can take all their hard work that they did in class and rehearsal and showcase it to family, friends, and the community. It is where facial expressions and conveying emotions becomes imperative. I…

Ballet Folklorico could never be expressed fully only on a canvas one needs to actually practice it dance it and perform it see the faces of the audience of how astonished they are of all the turns and steps being conveyed on the stage. One could ever have this stupendous experience in just plain paper and pen. What other piece of composition that makes people express physically to others the pridefulness they have towards their country. Folklorico…

Since it was my first time attending a college dance show, I did not know what to expect. I know it would be a whole lot better than the dance concerts I had to be a part of in high school. However not as magical as concerts seen in the Medical Center of Lewisville Dance Theatre, but the magic is all in our heads. We chose what speaks to us, we chose what can change our perspective. The audience must be actively participating during the show, in order to have an enriching experience. This show…

girls. Preschool through sixth grade girls were invited to attend cheer camp. The cheerleaders made up a dance for the girls to learn during the practices.

The art of dance has been around since 3300 B.C. in paintings and as a way to pass stories through the generations. It has evolved from its origins, and some dancers have revolutionized the art. By not being afraid to take a chance and express themselves, people like Michael Jackson have revolutionized dance by creating their own styles, movements, and beats. Original dance moves such as Michael Jackson’s “moonwalk” are recognized internationally. It is rare, however, that dance can be said to…

Dance is an aspect that accommodates with emotions and displays creativity. This form of art is a major priority in my life. I have been a student at the Dance Depot since the age of five. Over the years, my skills progressed and this activity grew serious and challenging. As a young, inexperienced child, the exhibition symbolized a minor sport in my daily life. However, this current point of view changed dramatically on a summer afternoon in 2009. My mother received an interesting email from…

The Hopi Snake Dance is performed by Hopis which is a First Nation tribe which lives in the northeast part of Arizona. The Hopi Snake Dance is used on the last day of a 16 day celebration which happens in August or early September. Many people call this dance the “Rain Dance” because it is a dance to pray for the rain. The origin of the Hopi Snake Dance also comes from this story. A long time back, there lived a father and a son in one of the Hopi villages. Whenever there were offerings were…

to the practices, because I was embarrassed to dance in front of people. At this time, I was very little and didn’t understand that I what I was doing was to help kids and that this wasn’t for me. I remember my first show that I did. At that age, I wasn’t expected to be good it was more just for the “cute factor”. Right before we went on I was so nervous, and I remember when I first walked out in front of all those people I suddenly froze and was just memorized by all the lights shining directly…
