Overall, I enjoyed this process but I feel that it was very stressful at times and has been a learning curve for both my company and I. I was excited when first learning and developing my pieces as it was my first show as part of the Miskin company and it was good to be doing something I love doing. When we began show runs and I saw all of the pieces, I thought that the mood of the show was very dark and dismal which made me feel a bit unenthusiastic, however, the powerful music helped to motivate me and made my dancing stronger. I was also a bit disappointed that we didn’t have more songs as only a few people’s voices were showcased; nonetheless, we were involved in different dances which I was pleased about. My first thoughts on the opening …show more content…
I was expecting our section to be all dance but she decided that she wanted us to act through it more which I liked as we are MT but I wanted a chance to showcase my dancing more. I was also hoping that our section would be slightly longer as I felt it was the shortest of them all and we didn’t have much time to make a strong first appearance on stage. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed the choreography in this piece and because we didn’t over rehearse it, I never lost interest or feeling in it. I was also involved in developing our ‘Spring Awakening’ section which I enjoyed as it allowed me to be creative and work collaboratively with my company. When we first looked at this, I didn’t find it very interesting which I feel set me off to a negative start with this work. When learning the songs, I found it really hard to connect with them and understand the emotions that I was supposed to be portraying however, once I had looked into them and done my research, I found it slightly easier to tell a story but I still struggled to connect. When creating the 3 pieces involved in this section (‘Mama who bore me’, ‘Mama who bore me reprise’ and ‘Totally fucked’), I connected the most to ‘Totally fucked’ because it was upbeat and I enjoyed the choreography that we

I have never been very fond nor familiar with Irish Step Dancing, so this was a totally different ball park for me but I found it very entertaining at time. That being said, I would say that the performance could have been a lot better. Many of the dances were very repetitive. For example, in the first half, there were 3 hip hop inspired pieces and they all had very similar moves.
Sadly, it doesn’t communicate Its intentions thoroughly. The performance lacks in many areas including but not limited to music choice, diversity, and modernism. Music throughout the night was disappointing and simple. An example of this is in the beginning of the performance when the lights dimmed and the crowd “oohed” and “awed”. The first thing to attack their vulnerable senses was the music.
An important culture dance for the Sandolios is called the Dancing Wolf. It is an art and another way to keep the spirits alive of the people and to embrace the power and beauty of the wolf.

These performances had no featured theme; they were preformed for pure entertainment. They had very similar features in their works. They had a lot of dynamics and showed many pictures and line that you don’t offend see ballet companies do. These pieces were the most unique of the show and really caught my attention from their bright lighting to there seem-less movements.
In my personal analysis, while she shows the emotionally damaging aspect of competitive dancing, she struggles to capture the audience emotionally. An opposing individual of this audience may be able to emotionally connect with the audience to convey a different opinion. Others with different backgrounds such as being an experienced dance parent may be swayed against this article because of personal experience and emotional disconnection. The audience may expect a more emotional view, through true experiences rather than scientific
It was very upbeat and made you want to get up and dance, there was actually a couple who got up from there table and began dancing to it. Something quite intriguing was the way the drummer played with brushes the whole time,
Is Dance a Sport or an Art? Some people think dance is not a sport. They think it’s an art because it is nothing but remembering dance moves. However, I believe dance is a sport.
What was refreshing to see was how many older people attended the class; it was great to see that Scottish country dance is welcome to anyone no matter the age or
The chorography was beautiful and graceful. We can tell that the dancers took a lot of time to practice and perfect their dancing technic to be prepare for this performance. The texture and color the background theme and
I decided to interview one of my friend’s older brother, Minh. My friend and I have been friends throughout high school, and I decided to interview her older brother because I do not know him very well and wanted to learn about Minh’s passion of breakdancing. I was particularly interested in learning about breakdancing from Minh because it is the foundation of hip hop dancing, which is one of my hobbies. The interview took place on Saturday October 17, 2015 at 11 pm through a Skype video session. I called Minh on Skype from my dorm room on campus, and he was sitting in his room with a casual, red t-shirt.
Life is short. This statement is made by many but taken seriously by so few. The song “I Hope you Dance” by Lee Ann Womack , and more specifically the lyric “When you get the chance to sit it out or dance/I hope you dance” (8-9) describes the decision of living life to the fullest. Life will not stop for anyone or anything so why not live life with such caution. No one can make the rain stop so why does one choose to sit inside waiting for the storm to pass.
I have always had a burning passion for dance since I was a young girl. My first time on a stage, I was immediately hooked. The overpowering feeling of a crowd of people watching me as I do what I love, is a feeling I have always admired. Dance has developed my character and personality in many different ways. I have been taught responsibility, discipline, integrity and much more.
Ever since i was young i fell in love with the art of dance. When i finally joined i felt like i was a little behind hence everyone was in my class was dancing since they were toddlers. My first day of dance was pretty nerve racking. My teacher would say to do something and i wouldn't know what to do because i didn't know any dance vocabulary. I would have to look around and try to fit in as much as possible so my teacher wouldn't think i wasn't fit for the class.
