My biggest passion is dance. It has consumed my time most of my life, but I do not mind, especially when I enjoy it so much. Knowing myself, I would not last as a professional dancer. Teaching is a part of my passion for dance, and I just want to give my knowledge to other people, and to have a valuable legacy left, behind me. My thinking is that this is a stupendous idea. I have seen dance teachers transform people into the workforce of Broadway, Vegas, major dance companies, and cruises.…

West Side Dance Studio is a dance studio in South Florida. The most important concept I learned out of the four years I danced there is that dancers do not use their words to express emotion, they use their body. The teachers there always express how important it is to tell a story with our bodies. That is why we dance, to express emotion and tell a story to our audience when performing. Dancers at West Side Dance Studio use body language to accomplish their goal of expressing emotion and…

Dancer place themselves in difficult situations and push their bodies so far to accept pain. They are truly athletes of the greatest degree. Anna Aalten wrote in her journal, In the Presence of the Body: Theorizing Training, Injuries and Pain in Ballet, that humans were not made to stand on their toes, let alone dance. But…

because when I attended this powwow I learned that each of the dances possess a beautiful strong background to them, and it was more than what I was taught growing up. The mens traditional dance is a warrior dance. The man dancing it has never taken a step back while he was dancing.

The ladies traditional dance is a Mother Earth dance, she never takes both her feet off of the ground. I…

dancing and having to manage other jobs for the money. Venturing out to New York, the biggest factor contributing to the rise of dancers in the collapse of the modern dance economy in the early 1990s. Here and there are audition listings up with most of dance companies seeking dancers for a single gig.

Ballet is the one of the most traditional form of dance. There is a lot about ballet that people don’t know, such as the history. Do you know what it took to get the art form to what it is today. Then again, maybe you didn’t know that the pointe shoe didn’t always look like what it is now. Did you know that for almost every ballet company you have to meet certain bodily attributes in order to be a part of the company? Ballet and just dance in general is the way that humans first shared our…

therapist regularly. I was able to visit her, however, during my spring break; she continued to work with me to teach me how to dance correctly and gave me stretches to help to release my psoas and hip flexors.
