As with numerous moments in life, there has to be a balance and an understanding of what is best for oneself and for those who matter. People are divergent, along with having their own opinions and way of handling situations. Being a perfectionist comes at a decent price, especially when trying to accomplish projects or reach goals that are set by our own person. One of the moments in my life that has impacted me in more ways than one, was my Christmas disaster from a couple years ago. Each individual was assigned a certain task to handle, and luckily for me, I was designated to decorate the interior of the house. I was ecstatic, practically doing backflips across a corn field type of excitement. I had finally moved on to the most meaningful …show more content…
I could not be prouder of myself and my instructors who were able to bring back my passion for dance. I am forever thankful for what they were able to provide me with. Dedication, encouragement, and belief. Although I no longer compete, I continue to dance daily. I have even begun working as a dance instructor myself for little children at my instructors’ studio. Dance has provided me with the confidence to pursue my dreams and to continue to grow as an individual and a human …show more content…

I am, wholeheartedly, looking forward to the life I have ahead of me, and I have my family to thank for providing me with the confidence to face fresh challenges. Along with my family and friends’ support, I have managed to fall in love with myself and my own personality. I learned to overcome various obstacles along with how to handle new hardships. I continue to grow as an individual every day of my life, along with facing new situations and environments and learning to adapt to these changes. I am still in the process of trying not to completely overthink every single detail of my life, but I am, nevertheless, making progress. I truly feel grateful for all the moments in my life that have led me to become the person I am today, along with getting to know and love who I truly am. As long as one is confident enough in knowing what is best for oneself and who one is as a person, even if a mistake is made, there will always be a way to find a
There are hundreds of professional dancers across the world waiting to reach their success, and out of those hundreds of dancers, I qualify in becoming one. Dance is my passion, my adrenaline, and my focus that keeps me persevering through life and its obstacles. Dancing requires a lot of dedication and hard work. “Successful dancers must have excellent balance, physical strength, and physical dexterity, so they can move their bodies without falling” (Dancers and Choreographers). If serious about dance, dancers have to have discipline in taking the time out to practice, study, and practice some more. If dance is what you're look forward to doing, I'd get busy because time waits for no one…
I have been dancing since the age of four. I started my intense training with Tanju and Patricia Tuzer, Debra Bale, and Linda Brown at Tuzer Ballet. I developed as a dancer, attending every summer intensive performing in every show, advancing from intermediate to apprentice to junior company and finally to senior company. The dance studio became my second home. I took classes in ballet, pointe, modern, contemporary, tap, jazz, lyrical jazz, theatrical movement, hip-hop, zumba, and African-Ballet, pointe, contemporary, and lyrical jazz being my favorites. Even w...
I carried my passion for dance along with me when I transitioned into high school, and into college as well. My role as a cheerleader in high school aided in the maintenance of my physical and mental well-being. I felt most empowered when I was performing on stage, and when I was able to enthuse the crowd with my lively facial expressions and body movements. Furthermore, I enjoyed expressing my creativity through dance routines I choreographed for school assemblies and cheer competitions. My profound interest in dance had also led me to choreograph routines for my college
Although I am not a great dancer by any means, I learned through my years of involvement in dance that if you want something you should not let any hardships stop you. This message is what helps push me toward success in my educational
Perfectionism, the force that motivates you to have everything exactly right, isn’t about excellence but about fear. There’s nothing wrong with a goal, but when the fear of not meeting that goal overwhelms you, it leads to procrastination. You wake up in the morning tired and angry and feel as though you can’t escape that dark cloud that follows you everywhere. Of course you are overwhelmed. Most days, more is required of you than you could possibly accomplish. Your perfectionism won’t allow you to ask for help.
Fast forwarding to the summer of 2016, I took part in a two week dance program at New York University. At that point in my dance career, I had improved so much and dance had become my life.
Irish dance is known all around the world for its music, style, and costumes. What once started as a cultural folkloric dance has now turned into a worldwide phenomenon because of many contextual factors on the three defining characteristics. In this paper I will attempt to show how the Gaelic League, An Coimisiún, and Riverdance influenced and changed the posture, movement, and appearance of the dance form. The story of Irish dance thus far is one of a constant changing dance that reflects the influences around it. Each of the changes in the style, costuming, and meaning of the dance has molded it into the globally accepted and loved dance form seen today.
Ballet is a popular dance form that originated in the 1500s around the time of the renaissance. It consists of many different forms that have evolved over the years. Some examples of these forms include French Ballet, Vaganova (Russian Ballet), Cecchetti (Italian Ballet), and Balanchine. Ballet forms and variations originated mainly from Italy, Russia, and France. However, today, many different forms of Ballet exist. Despite the many different variations, all Ballet has certain things in common. It is an effective form of exercise, requires special equipment, contains many set principles, and can result in specific injuries.
The topic I decided to choose to conduct my Capstone Research on is Copyright in Choreographic Works. Choreography is “Choreographers use dance performances to express ideas and stories. There are many types of dance, such as ballet, tango, modern dance, tap, and jazz (bls.gov). Choreography is also something that should be made from the heart, it’s not something that should be taken from someone else because at that point, it wouldn’t be considered your choreography and it wouldn’t be something you made from your own mind and creativity. Dancing is something you have a passion for and you show your emotions through your movements, so there shouldn’t be a need to copy. The problem now is, many choreographers are starting to steal choreography
Dance is my favorite hobby when I was a child. I used to watch dance concerts on TV shows, but I had not even watch it on stage. On April 08th, 2016, I attended a dance concert called Make Your Move like an audience. It was performed at John Anthony Theatre – Spring Creek Campus of Collin College. The concert consists of many styles of dancing from different College and University such as Collin College, West Texas A&M University, and Illinois State University. Three performances that I like best were Intus, 9.28.11 and Havana Dream.
During the school day, I always work my hardest to complete all of my homework, and if I end up bringing some home, I prefer to get it done as soon as possible. While working with my grandparents either in the garden or around the farm, I strive to impress them with my hard work and determination to get the job done. Even in my current job, I work hard to complete the given tasks correctly and also efficiently. Perfectionism is obviously incorporated in all of those working environments, and I believe that it pushes me harder and harder each day. As a result of my perfectionism the outcome of my work is usually the best it can be. Although it might limit me, I always give one hundred percent when it comes to completing various tasks, and find pride in being a hard
I had my first dance recital on the day I turned four. Now I don’t remember anything from that day, but I believe that that day is when I learned I loved to perform. I’ve been taking dance lessons since then, and many things that I do now involve performing in some type of way.
The Northern Territory is known for its culturally diverse population and some would say it is the ‘multicultural hub’ of Australia. With all of these cultures comes distinctive customs and traditions. Throughout history dance has been used to help people develop a sense of identity, the younger generations are also taught social patterns and values through the different dances. The significance of these traditional dances was to reinforce and celebrate cultural law and practices including the celebration of the passage from child to adulthood or spiritual worship. The predominantly Western culture in Australia often causes minority groups to struggle for recognition regarding their beliefs and traditions. This is parallel to the Australian dance industry, where many cultural dance groups feel they have to justify who they are and are often
One of the eloquent expressions of the art of dance pertains to ballet. In which individuals fuse to perform choreography depicting emotions and the stories of others. Renowned pieces of ballet include the performances Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, Giselle and A Midsummer’s Night Dream (Schiesl). The individuals within the ballet community form a discourse community, as members engage in common practices to reach similar achievements.
“Dance, the art of precise, expressive, and graceful human movement, traditionally, but not necessarily, performed in accord with musical accompaniment. Dancing developed as a natural expression of united feeling and action.”
