practical commodities that help ease the day-to-day lives of human beings. Rarely are they appreciated as avenues that connect people to one another, just as it was shown in the play General Tinio St. by Atong Rodillo. The show was held at the PGH Science Hall back in September 31, fog and dimmed lights signalled the start of the show, and a dance number to a special rendition of Beep Beep by Juan dela Cruz band, no less, ensued afterwards. Despite the venue being compact, the stage production…

You have to make sure every part of your body is how it should be while doing a leap, or turn. Also I like lyrical because its like…

Age-Appropriate Coaching: A Dance Perspective. There are many factors to keep in mind when coaching any type of sport. A specific factor that absolutely must be adhered to is age, which influences many performance capabilities both physically and psychologically (Crocker, 2011).
