Curious Incident of the Dog in The Night Time

This year for one of my birthday presents I went to see the Curious Incident of The Dog. I really enjoyed it because of the story line and all of the visuals. One thing that they could have had more of was dance, a lot of times there wasn't expressive movement were it would have been nice if there was. I did like all of the dance that was incorporated, because it was put in at moments that would seem pretty normally to most people but by including dance they weren't. One moment that especially stood out to me was when the main character was taking the train, and he was very overwhelmed. The way they showed that was having people carrying him and moving him all around to show how overwhelmed he was. I really enjoyed all the dance in this show because even though there wasn't a lot it made a lot of sense and provided useful and insightful information to how the character was feeling.

Winter Arts Festival

This year my whole grade preform at the Winter Arts Festival. We are all preforming a dance we learned in our muscle unit that was one of my favorite dances. I really enjoyed it because it had very smooth movements which I like.  The song, I See Fire By Ed Sheeran was a great song. I was kind of nervous for the performance because we didn't have much time to rehearse and I get anxious pretty easily, but I was also excited because the dance was really fun and we had been working on it for a long time. The performance went pretty well but it was a little hard because there wasn’t a lot of room on stage with so many people. I still really liked to preform though because it was nice to do something different with so many people and if we had just done it with our class it would have been less fun.

Improvisation

I hear the music.
My body repeats the moves it's done at least 100 times yet finding some way to renew them.
Voices surround me but I am zoned out.
Feet hit the smooth floor.
Everything is spinning around me.
As if I am the sun.
My eyes close as I jump up, higher extending my leg. 
Then I hear the sounds as if I crossed a sound bearer .

Dance....

Dance is a Break From My Day.It takes my mind off everything. Dance is Something I Never Dread. I alway Look forward to it. Dance lets me Express Myself. I can think through the music. Dance is a Challenge. It pushes me to think about moving in different ways and think outside the box. Dance is Unique. It is an exercise and art at the same time.

Dance Waves Contemporary and Modern Class

Last year I did a program with dance waves, my teacher was Ms. Ovate. I really enjoyed the program because it was modern contemporary dance which are my favorite styles of dance. In the class we had time to make up our own dances and we followed routines the the teacher made up. I learned new things, like how to do a hand stand in a proper form and how to express myself when I am dancing to different music. I became a more confident dancer in general. First we learned a new warm up, then we moved across the floor and expressed ourselves, lastly we worked on our group dance. Dance was a really nice way to end the day, because of the good energy. I also liked the class because we got choreograph our own dances with a partner and we got to work it into a new dance which was a cool new experience for me. Lastly we got to preform at two event which was really fun thing to get to do and it gave us something to work toward which was interesting.

My Dance History

When I was little I started dancing at Mark Mores. It was the only after school activity I did with my sister, first we were in different classes then we were in the same class. I really enjoyed dance for a while, then Morgan (my sister) quit, but I still liked it. After I got busy, and I didn't really enjoy dance so I decided not to continue.Sometimes though I still missed dance. After I danced a little at school but it wasn't a lot of dancing. Then the middle school I went to had dance class. I could only dance for one trimester but I really enjoyed it. I learned a lot, so I started taking after school dance through Dance waves at my school. I learned new interesting things that I didn't know before, like how to express myself through dance. Now I am taking dance four times a cycle school.
