In Suzanne Britt’s essay, “That Lean and Hungry Look,” she shares her thoughts in a most provocative, wittingly way. Britt compares fat to thin people and their personality traits. She comes off strong in her opinion of thin people. At first the reader may feel awkward and may be somewhat offended. She seems very strong with her dislike for thin personalities OR perhaps she is only making the fat personalities feel better. Britt quotes Julio Caesar by saying, “Thin people need watching.” (1) She

Mark Dendy’s dance drum is a dance that only uses about six dancers who dance to the beat of African Drums. The dance structure seemingly is fast these dancers don’t stay in one specific spot they seem to move all throughout twirling around and moving with the beat. It doesn’t seem to stop one beat and always moves with the beat. The rhythm of these beats seems to be even with every step the dancer takes constructing a beautiful type of movement. The dance changes over the time of course by showing

hula dance plays a big part of the film. When I read the South Pacific section of the chapter I knew I wanted to do the Hawaiian culture. The dance of this culture is known as hula that started as a spiritual worship. Their worship dance was to please their goddess of the volcano named Pele. The hula often involved chanting and nudity which bothered colonists. Colonists affected this culture by incorporating straw hula skirts as way to make them more modest. In the present day their dances are not

As I walked into the dance studio I realized how small I was compared to the other students in intermediate. I was shorter than the other by a lot, I felt a little awkward around the other girls. I was just glad morgan was there with me and she was short too. The teacher soon showed us our first combination, and it was pretty hard. I was a little scared. I thought to myself Why am I here? Am I ready? I was glad I wasn't the only one who moved up. If I didn't have morgan with me I would feel very

“Don’t dance for the audience; dance for yourself.” Bob Fosse is the man responsible for single-handedly changing the world of jazz dance. Through his use of adult humor, dark stories, and jazz hands, his style has influenced many aspects of life. Whether it is in the music one listens to, choreography one learns, or even musicals one watches, it is clear to see that Fosse has changed the world with his legendary dancing.

extracurricular activities. In high school I was on the varsity Dazzler Dance Team all four years. I was recognized as a leader on the team not only by the team, but by my coach. I helped lead our team my senior year to a 2nd place finish at nationals in lyrical. I also trained and was on a competitive dance team outside of school, at Miller Marley School of dance. Both of these dance teams were very time consuming. The Dazzler dance team practiced on an average of ~ 10 hours per week and I was at

Hairspray Musical Learning about dance movements in my Dance Appreciation course helped me have a better understanding of how certain movements work. When I had the opportunity to watch Hairspray the musical in my collage, the dance movements became clear to me. Watching the performers in the musical doing their dance moves, and bing able to understand why those dance movies where chosen for this musical makes the viewer understand the choreography. Reading and learning about the responsibility

to Ballet. I adored being a little ballerina and would read the same dance booklet everyday, practicing the five positions and gracefully positioning my tiny arms and fingers to match the little girl in the illustrations. This opened my heart to the world of dance, which made me embrace the activity at such a young and impressionable age. Because I loved dance so much, my mother enrolled me in Donna Hammond-Phelps Centre for Dance while I was in kindergarten. In the studio, I stood out and had a lot

Dance is a captivating and fun sport as well as a beautiful art. Throughout the years dance has been continuously underestimated and misunderstood. I have heard many times “Ballet is easy, you don’t even break a sweat,” and it seems many people do not understand the complexity of dancing. While there are no arguments whether dance is an art or not, there is controversy as to whether or not it is a sport. Dance is a sport because it can be competitive, it has the risk of injury, and it is also both

about a new way of expressing feelings and telling stories as a part of performing arts and has been the foundation for many other dance styles.

It has been a starting point for many other dance styles. From the early times,

friends! Dance is a performing art where there is usually music. In dance you move rhythmically to a sequence of choreographed steps. Dance can help you with many components such as mental health or bringing people together! Also, there are many dance types in the 1960s as well as today. Dance in the 1960s differs from today because of its unique dance moves and music. In the 1960s, dance started getting really popular. People came up with dance moves that inspired people to make new dance moves. They

races in a popular teen dance show, the Corny Collins Show, in segregated Baltimore. It focusses on racism and segregation in the 60’s, but has the underlying theme of equality for everyone in spite of their race, class, sexual orientation, gender or outward appearance. Tracy Turnblad, an overweight teenager, finally gets a spot on the “Corny Collins Show”, a teen dance show she has always dreamt of being on. She is disturbed when she finds out the “Negroes” are allowed to dance on the show occasionally

and kick their feet wildly in the air. Outside of the dance world, large numbers of people believe that that’s all Irish dancing is, but it’s actually the exact opposite. Imagine this: you are standing on stage, the rush of excitement and anticipation pumping adrenaline through your body like a race car speeding down a track. The harsh lights wash out all the faces in the audience. All you can see are the judges, ready to critique your every move. The music washed over you like a wave at the beach

of what you would learn in a dance lesson. This session confirmed my expectations of what a child would learn in a dance session. I would imagine that the arts sessions (dance, visual arts, drama, or music) should give children the opportunity to explore and expand their imagination and, therefore, creativity, using different tools, such as: rhythmic movement, paint or crayon, musical instruments, or acting, for searching and expressing their individuality. A dance lesson offers the possibility

When dance and social activism intersect, I get excited. All of my experiences with dance as a tool for social change have been profound and evoking. The work I do with Donald Byrd and Spectrum Dance Theater company (SDT) is tremendously relevant. It unapologetically challenges and disrupts societal systems, people’s beliefs, thoughts, and their relations with others who are different from them. Working with SDT has taught me that dance, my passion, part of my identity, is a tool for social change
