Great Dance Experience !!! :D

 

On March 19th I had my first ballroom dance competition it was a memory that will remember forever. My dress that I wore that day was a teal colorant the dress was  made specially to fit me and it also had a heavy/bouncy skirt so that it makes you have to work harder to move the skirt because of its weight. I only danced 4 types of dances but I danced 12 time so first I danced the 4 dances then again so I did each dance twice then after that I took a break and I was very out of breath after that I did one more round of the 4 dance so in all I danced 12 times. The four dances were Cha Cha, Samba, Rumba, & Jive. That was also the order I danced them in. AT first I was so nervous I would have bad dreams that I would mess up but then on the day of the comp I was very confident and thats all you need to be when you go up to dance also have fun because thats what it is all about and if you mess up you just follow your partner. I won many medals that I am very proud of.

See ya next time!!!!

Wade In The Water
At school we are learning/ about one of Alvin Ailey's most successful dances he has choreographed and this is my first time learning his dance which is so exciting to me.My class and I might go next year and watch the Alvin Ailey company perform which is amazing because I have never gone to see one. The costumes for our performance is going to be really cool because we the girls have these long swaying skirts that will really add and accent to the whole dance. When my mini group performs there will be many turn's so that the skirt will really move with our whole body movements. See you soon!!

Alvin Ailey ELA project

Alvin Ailey

I have been learning about Alvin Ailey for the past 3 weeks and he is very interesting. He grew up in a very poor family during The Great Depression. His father abandoned him and his mother when his was only 6 months old which is very sad because that means he practically never got to meet his dad/or will never remember him. Lester Horton was a gigantic part of Alvin's dancing life because when he died Alvin Ailey took over and became the director which is a part to take over from being a student to being a director. In the beginning of his dancing he used to dance at a night club in San Fransisco. When he started his own personal dance company it was made of only 8 african-americans.I hope you this made you want to read more about him!!

THANKYOU!!!

New dance club dance

Winter Dance Festival
I'm so excited to make the winter themed dance for dance club to perform at the Winter Arts Festival in December its so fun making a whole new dance from scratch its going to me really fun but a lot of hard work to make a whole new dance but I still can't wait. I'm also really looking forward to dancing the muscle dance with my dance talent group because I really like that dance too & I've never danced with people that weren't in dance club with me in a performance so it will be the first time dancing with people that usually didn't dance with me in performance & it's also exciting because I'm doing 2 dances in one performance and I love danceing daceing so the more the merrier!!!
See you soon!
 
 

 

I'm so excited to perform the muscle dance i really like I think if I had to choose between the joint dance and the muscle dance I would choose the muscle dance because I think that the joint dance is really too  fast for me like I can do it its just a little hard for me to dance so fast and I didn't know the dance that well
Thanks!

Manhattan Ballroom Dance:

So happy I finally do private lessons and group for Manhattan Ballroom ballroom dance. Which mean's I can finally do competition which is really fun and exciting. Ever since I was little I've always wanted to be in a dance competition which is kinda stressful because I'm going to be so embarrassed if I mess up. But its also really exciting because I get a dress made specially for me which I can't wait for.
See you soon!
