Partner dance

Dance isn 't just a contribution of ideas and emotions driving through movements incorporated of motivation and passion. Dance leads each individual into the dancer 's perspective and makes the audience look through each movement as a guide of motivation with the tempo, energy, and level of their movements. The 14th of November I had the pleasure to be part of the audience of a wonderful performance in Daytona Beach.he performance consisted of seven different contemporary dances choreographed…

During the Spring Break of 2015, I had a two hour dance camp Monday through Thursday on top of my regular classes. On Monday Carly challenged me to dance 50 hours that week; I laughed. However, I wanted to accept her challenge as much as I could so I set a goal to practice 24 hours that week. Each day I worked on a specific dance. These consisted of the Reel, Light Jig, Slip Jig, Single Jig, Treble Jig, Hornpipe, and a set dance. Each dance has two steps that are done on the right and left…

professional performances for intermediate ballet. Watching this production was a “revelation” to me. The Nutcracker is an extremely well known ballet, yet I had never been given the chance to see it until this year. As someone who grew up in the dance world I had always heard the familiar compositions that are found within The Nutcracker, however, I had never seen professional dancers move to the music on stage.

would matter to me. I have been on the team for two years dancing with the junior varsity, my freshman and sophomore year. I got chosen to choreograph and teach several dances throughout the two years. I was always put in the front for routines. So, I was for sure making it, I thought. Ever since the coaches started the dance team at Blue Valley North, it has always been a big team. The coaches always wanted a lot of members to represent the school spirit we all had and to get the crowd going…

to do physical activities such as: stunts, jumps and flips. Most competitive cheer teams practice 2 to 3 hours several days a week. “The routines in competitive cheerleading, known as all-star cheerleading, are 2 and a half minutes of music-pumping dance and quickly executed cheerleading stunts mixed with gymnastic moves” (Cheerleaders prep for hours in search of 2½ minutes of perfection). For instant, everyone considers basketball a sport. Basketball players must practice a decent amount of…

“THE RED SHOES” Over the years, there have been several movies in which attempts have been made to capture the spirit and the beauty, the romance and the enchantment of the ballet. And, inevitably, in these pictures, ballets have been performed, a few times with charm and sincerity but more often—and unfortunately—without. However, there has never been a picture in which the ballet and its special, magic world have been so beautifully and dreamily presented as the new British film, "The Red…

dreams to win the Pan Pacific’s, and more importantly, to dance his own steps. Darryl, The Castle, just wants to keep living his simple life in his house with his family. While both ideals and characters vastly contrast, they are both dreamers. The two films have differing plots. Strictly Ballroom is about a young man wanting to dance his own steps. Scott dreams of a life where he does not have to follow the strict rules set by the Dance Federation. After finally dancing…

Jason Coleman in the middle starting, then flowing out to the other dancers bit by bit. It builds the intensity of the performance as the music gets faster. Finally, space is used graciously as they only have a small space to work. As they begin the dance section, there are times they would take a few steps back to create more space in front for the kicks and turns performed. Overall, this performance was well executed with choreographic techniques. In the excerpt ‘The Greatest’ by Sia, you…

Gas, more commonly known as Edgar Degas (1834-1917) is considered to be one of the main founders of Impressionism and is widely known for his paintings of females and the overall life of Parisians. Degas is especially associated with the subject of dance, actually Degas has produced approximately 1,500 works on the subject (Schenkel 2004).
