Tap dance

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…

Robert Louis Fosse. He was the youngest of all children. Having so many siblings it was difficult to grab his parent’s eye so he did that by dancing. His parents took noticed and signed him up for dance lesson. His dance career started out when he was young, the style he started taking lesson in tap. As a boy Fosse suffer from different health problems but he never let that come in the way of his dancing. As a kid in…

The dance numbers not only enhanced the film but included symbolism and divergent interpretations on the scene it followed or was in. The plot of Chicago was not as strong as I’d hoped to be but I think the dance numbers greatly made up for this. Personally I’d like to give the movie Chicago 4.5/5 stars greatly accounting the short and sweet length of the film…

"Good choreography fuses eye, ear and mind"-Arlene Croce. Choreography is the sequence of steps and movements in dance or figure skating, especially in a ballet or other staged dance. It is the art or practice of designing choreographic sequences or the written notation for a choreographic sequence. Most of the time choreographers are used in a musical of some sort. They control the dancing and most of the movement you see happening. Even the sex scenes that you see in a play or movie is…

my tights came together and pressed against my skin. I hope it never goes away. For the past fifteen years of my life, I danced in ballet, pointe, tap, jazz, and lyrical. This prospect challenged the norms of both the traditional Indian woman and the classic ballerina. Being Indian and dancing in classical ballet rather than in classical Indian dance is simply not done, for it insinuates disrespect for traditional values. As for the classical ballet aspect, the art has favored those who fit the…

Flamenco is a folk art and culture from Iberia, or present day Spain. A genre that has been the musical outlet for the poor and the troubled, Flamenco is not merely a style of music, song or dance from Spain but rather a way of life that influences the daily activities of many individuals. The art of flamenco was intended to be an outward expression of an individual’s most profound emotions and the flamenco way of life. It was never intended to be a technical art performed with enduring…

roller coaster. Mia, an aspiring actress, meets Sebastian, a jazz player. They meet on a highway in traffic, then at the jazz bar Sebastian works at where he gets fired at that night, and again a few months later at a party. They then do a full out tap dance on the top of a hill in Los Angeles. As ridiculous as it sounds, it’s incredibly magical. Sebastian and Mia start dating and everything is going well. They’re happy and are…

As she drove down the back roads she knew so well, she could not help but think back on all she was leaving behind. Her quiet home amongst farmland, the bed she collapsed in each time she had a bad day, her costumes and shoes from her fifteen year dance career, pictures and clothes and the four bedroom walls that had provided her comfort for the entirety of her life. Nerves took over her thoughts and as the drive…

times. Other athletes like football, softball and soccer players, wouldn’t really consider dance a sport, but believe me, it is. Training to be the worlds best will be worth the pain, tears and sweat in the end. Butterflies circle around in my stomach as I think about the plane ride to Florida! On April 25th, my team and I will take the worlds stage, to compete to become the worlds best open coed hip-hop dance team. This Monday is not a normal practice; we compete in Orlando, Florida, in 5…

across the world. I never really thought about this until I read this statement “Over half of Americans drink bottled water spending 240-10,000 times more per gallon for bottled water than they do for tap water, a trend largely fueled by the belief that bottled water is safer and healthier than tap water. Is the cost worth it? Controversial reports from the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) in Gland, Switzerland, and the Natural Resources Defense…
