Dance is likely to have begun as a ritual to appeal to a culture’s worshipped being or included in ones “rite of passage” (Histoy of Dance, n.d.). Evidence has been found in India showing the existence of dance in the form of paintings made in caves…

The San Diego Trolley Dances took place on October 3rd 2015. An assortment of dance pieces all came together to furnish the city with dance in non-traditional and often unexpected settings. A program that has been established for fourteen years, this season of Trolley Dances traveled from Downtown San Diego to Balboa Park. However modern or classical the pieces in Trolley Dances may appear to be, the combination of observation and research can provide a different perspective. One such frame has…

twisting, and turning are second nature to me as I excel in strength and flexibility. I perform routines in front of judges, waiting to be praised for my talent. My stage is a square, spring floor, and a 4 inch beam, and two parallel bars, and a vault table. All I need is my leotard, grips, and ambition to score big. I’ll dance across the floor, leaping, turning, flipping through my routine, knowing all eyes are on me as I own the floor. Sprinting down the runway, jumping off the…

they’re all the same in that they are a visual form of self-expression. At the end of the day dance isn’t something that is just performed, it is created and treated as living, moving art. The most common form of dance is ballet. It is the foundation of all other types of dance. I studied ballet for about seven years. It…

started, I understood why. The people that were use to this type of show drank their beer early and were on the dance floor, right next to the stage. You could see the longing for the start of the show in their eyes. I safely placed myself at the top of the staircase, so i could overlook and see everything happening. I wasn 't the only one at a safe distance. They place was crowded. The dance floor was full and there were people all around me. There was guy standing next to me. His name was…

choreographic style. I’ve been so used to the repetition and structure of the same exercises in our class, that I did not expect the content of the video to differ so much from our class. I expected the pieces we watched to be like Dance Energies, because it seemed to be like most modern dance pieces from that era. So, I most certainly did not expect such a…

They were contrasted well enough to keep the show more entertaining. The situations that both Ever and Senga have encountered were believable to a certain extent such as when Ever was freaking out when being touched and Senga had to dance while being injured. Other than that, both of their problems were solved. The characters lead me to new understanding because there are more qualities in the characters themselves and not just their personalities. Both Senga and Ever were funny because…
