ordinary,girl. Layla Camille Herbin: Daughter or Corey and Annise Herbin, the new face of Google, dancer of the year, best friend to many, and an aspiring Youtuber. Her favorite thing to do is dance, and she dances because it is her everyday lifestyle. She eats, breathes, and sleep dance. She mostly dances lyrical because it grants her the opportunity to expresses herself in the most way possible. Her parents, Mrs. Elder Annise L. Herbin works as a school psychologist and Mr. Elder Corey G.…

yourself. It could be in when you were a little kid, or more relevant- high school. Elizalde wants us to reached 20 years later and picture ourselves committing everything that you are passionate about. I decided and committed to opening or running a dance studio business. Secondly,”No pain, no gain” (Elizalde para 20). Basically saying, you fall down, get right back up and do it again. This can apply to a dancers life because you literally go through blood, sweat, and tears. I been in this…

atmosphere is set up to create a “Winter Wonderland” feel (Macaulay 2016). Many of the gestures from man to woman are those of offering and respect, reminding me of a traditional courting ritual. This is a common theme of the Renaissance Era, where court dances served a political function in the display of one’s wealth. As the floor patterns of the work are of greater intricacy, asymmetry is often used. This differs from the floor patterns of the Baroque Era as majority of their formations were…

Senior night. One of the most important traditions my marching band has. I never quite understood the purpose of this tradition, was it to show progress? A last ‘hurrah’ for the upperclassmen to watch? It took me four years to understand completely what senior night really means. When you watch something you love go and take on this challenge without you, to perform, its amazing. Performing that halftime show to the best of their ability, showing to us that they don’t really need us to be…

The ball had ended abruptly for Juliet. One moment, a tall, slim figured was smiling at her across the room, making her heart pound. The next, he was asking her to dance. He introduced himself as Romeo. As they danced, his movements felt in perfect sync with hers, and they glided across the floors through every song. Before she realized, his cool lips were brushing against hers, sending a shiver throughout her entire body. Soon, his teeth scratched her lip, drawing blood. After that, she pushed…

Chapter 1 One, two, three, four, Grand jeté. I focus on my steps which echo on the stage in unison with the calm beat of the music. This is it, the moment I have been preparing for non-stop for months. I am dancing Swan Lake. My name is Odette. Alright, so my name isn’t actually Odette, it’s Annie. The boring, brunette, ballerina who likes to escape into fantasy lands such as the land of the Nutcracker, Swan Lake, or Cinderella. However, the only way I can do this is through my dancing. This is…

Sisterhood Royalty was the name of my high school dance team. As a new member, each of us got paired up with an older girl on the team called a Royalty Sister. A Royalty Sister was someone who helped the new member on the team, invested in gifts to one another on special occasions, and to have a supportive friend on the team. Aqsa was my Royalty sister. She was loud and silly, but she never talked to anyone. I didn’t understand why I got paired up with Aqsa. She wasn’t my ideal friend at least…

different language to describe it as the poem is read. “My Papa’s Waltz” has the metaphor of dancing throughout the poem, more correctly, waltzing between a father and son. Everything from the description of the fluidity of the dance to the speakers feeling towards the dance helps create a stronger meaning behind the metaphor. Roethke uses dancing as a metaphor for the relationship between the son and the father, according to the son. Roethke is also able to create a unique atmosphere with his…

your comfort zone and embracing your dreams. As human beings, we find contentment in what’s familiar to us. However, I don’t believe this is a positive to continue through life. To fully experience life and face new events, we need to be committed to step outside of our comfort zone and live life to its fullest potential. This applies to me personally because as a dancer, I want to continue dancing throughout my life and make a career with my dancing. Up until this year, I’ve always played it…

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 can see straight away that the…
