The Concert took place at the Schnader Theater in Roschel Performing Arts Center at 7: 30 P.M. Of the performances I had the opportunity to watch, the one that most intrigued me was…

The movie, thus revolve around the sentence, as we see, Jayraj Parik, who liked to dance was slowly and gradually forced to stop dancing either say because of circumstances or by the conditions of his father or the selfishness of his wife.

“What I Did This Summer?” This summer I participated in many exciting events. I helped my dance studio with a dance camp and I spent a few days with my friends. The most exciting thing I did this summer was that my family and I went on a trip to Italy. I have gone to Italy only once before, and I was in fourth grade and it was my second time going to Europe. I love all the different cultures and the people I meet. In Italy everyone is kind and they try to speak English, even though they…

site about 30 minutes early because I brought my hula hoops from my apartment. I remembered what Rhonda said the goal of the garden was; “To create a spot where people could meditate, talk and relax”, and I wanted to do just that. I hoop dance and when I hoop dance, I like to do it on either an open field or open parking lot. It gives me more room to be creative and productive. I also hoped by me hooping and doing a bunch of tricks that it would attract attention and people would come up and ask…

Engel on her piece titled Elemental Essence. This piece is in four sections each section looks at one of the four elements of nature- earth, water, air and fire. The piece depicts how each of these entities and energies inform Afro-Brazilian Folkloric dances. Stephanie and I had discussions on how the lighting for each section should create an environment that embodies the element which it is depicting- how each section should feel using words such as: ritualistic, organic, flowing, hot, and…

Swamp Dance Fest! UF SoTD; McGuire Pavilion G-6 studio; July 30th 7:30pm. Repertory Concert After Image was supposed to bring out imagery of the files arctic expedition made by S.A. Andrée in1897. The only part of the dance that I was able to recognize was the paper being torn and placed over the dancers, like ice breaking up. I couldn’t really pick out any of the other movements as specifically representing the expedition. At first the movement in After Image was confusing and I wasn’t quite…

relationship expressed by sound and image From the Return to Homs and from Treeless Mountain Abdul Basset and Bin show their relationship with other people in different scene. For my essay, two scene attracted my attention where Basset is leading songs and dances (from Retour to Homs) and where Bin and her sister are sitting near the fire with their Grandma (from Treeless Mountain). I select these two scenes because they demonstrate the confident and friendship or concord relationship between…

As the rhythmic music started to play, I realized that my routine would determine my personal overall placement and the placement of my team. The pressure was on and I had to take a few deep breathes before I could focus on the importance of the next minute and eight seconds. I continued to match my skills with the timing of the music while listening to the cheering of the crowd and my nervous heart beating erratically out of my chest. Once I completed my last tumbling pass and stuck it, I…

Throughout my life, I have had a variety of hobbies; I would become deeply invested in a hobby for a few months, but suddenly I would become uninterested. When I was younger, I danced; ballet and tap practices would fill my nights, but that did not last for long. Ultimately, I knew that driving there every night strained our schedules and I did not have passion for it anymore, so I discarded that hobby. After that, I became interested in sports; I devoted my time to basketball camps and pick-up…
