Since dancing is so complex, there are several benefits resulting from all of this training, including a…

his story. Probably one of the greatest music concert I will ever see, spectacular songs and just the wonderful experience in general. The service really irritated me since it was annoying waiting so long but Kanye made up for it with an awesome performance. I would hands down see his next concert after he makes another new album. More importantly, for people who love rap or just getting into the culture. I would without a doubt suggest to see Kanye West because he has a unique way of making a…

Most sports involve some sort of hand and eye coordination, exercise, and a good mental attitude or motivation for what athletes are doing. As a dancer, I danced my entire four years of high school.

primary tool for research and solution. In defining “career longevity” for this specific research, I am focusing on preventing dance related injuries in order to lengthen the number of years of performing on stage. The average dancer stops performing in their 30’s. Increasing the longevity of movement ability positively correlates with increased performance opportunities and diversity in dance styles.

feel involved in the play/musical. The things that often make the audience feel involved are the character’s clothing, their speech/accent, and the set pieces. The first thing that you notice when you walk into a theater is the set of the play. Specific pieces play a significant role in demonstrating the storyline. In the play Of Mice and Men, they were rich in detail. The set was designed in a way so the stage was filled with scenes that portrayed Steinbeck’s vision. Every set incorporated…

allowed me to look at myself in a different light. Throughout the semester I have been working on memorizing choreography for myself rather than relying my peers to memorize the choreography for me. This combination allowed for me to strengthen this specific semester goal, while also allowing me to perform this piece as a solo. This paper will focus on what I saw in myself during the video exam. It will also reflect on how I was feeling while performing this piece of choreography. In the…

For women performers of the orchestra, they are expected to wear all black, such as black pants or long skirt, along with a black blouse or black dress coat. For men, it is expected to wear a tuxedo.

After observing the attire etiquette throughout the concert, the performers had met the expectations…

She sits center stage, waiting for her performance time to come. She takes in all the beauty of the auditorium. She searched the stage for any pressure points that could be detrimental for her success or failure. The black that covered the stage floor was like a never-ending black hole cased with glass. Would she fall through or be as light as a feather and gently succeed in her career? She will soon find out for herself, but for now she gently runs her fingers across the breath-taking hand…

I have viewed the play titled Someone’s Knocking by playwright Rich Orloff, which is an odd comedy about a married women who is afraid of “out there”. Furthermore, this performance was seen on October second at the Howard Studio Theatre in Building eleven, Room one hundred and sixty-three. The curtain time was at eight o’clock in the evening and lasted until nine-thirty with one twelve minute intermission. In addition, due to the fact that I am a Florida student, the tickets cost ten dollars…

As I stated in my midterm, setting goals for myself only allow me to become a stronger dancer. This semester in Ballet II, I personally believe that I have grown tremendously as a dancer in ballet. With this being my first semester in Ballet II, I had a few ups and downs throughout the class. With this being the case, I set three different goals for myself so that I could focus on fully reaching my potential the areas. These goals included: fully executing my petite battements and completing a…
