I have many idols that I look up to, but not all was just a one hit wonder of life experiences and risks. I take them all into consideration and developed a mutual feeling towards the way they put together their work and how they performed life tasks. Also, how they took it upon themselves to stand out in honor of their community, rights, spiritualness, war with love and most important...themselves.
For the longest I looked up to the artist Ciara. She was my motivation to dance and dancing became a passion of mine through her. She was my motivation to learn more styles and techniques along with chris brown who shared a different type of dance style from Ciara’s. They both danced with such passion and creativity, that helped me express my emotions in a way that no one else could. I'm not

When I get home from school and all my work is done, or just during the day and nights even, especially when I was feeling good. Whenever I would get mad, I could remember just putting on one of my favorite slow jams and just flowing with the rhythm that brought majestical vibes to my heart and ears that settled the disturbance that was going on in my life. I was at war with my own self. So insecure. So kind-hearted. So innocent. Just misused and taken for granted.The way I felt after dancing was something I’ve never felt before, almost like making love for the first time. It's the feeling that people feel when they just have a connection with someone, or something that's valuable to them; it feels incredible. It felt good to feel something different other than pain and frustration. Since I'm older now, I barely have free time due to work and school, but even when I was young, once I got into my senior year of high school I started focusing more on my career. Now a days, settling with my emotions is difficult, because I have so much on plate and responsibilities that I lose my focus, stability and get caught up in my
and in front of the whole school during spirit week and international week, without a bit of apprehension. Gaining this confidence was and is the key to victories in dance competitions. Confidence and my familiarity with a variety of dance forms such as hip-hop, jazz, and several Indian classical dances can be credited to my winning first place in a memorable competition, where, for the first time, my two friends and I choreographed the dance piece that we performed. This experience also helped as the same friends and I had 2 weeks to choreograph, perfect, and perform alongside a famous Indian singer as he sang live. These values specifically pushed me advance further into the art form, and were also extremely useful outside of the dance
Throughout my life I have seen how people admire artists and singers. For whatever reasons, these individuals have built careers to fulfill their need for money and fame. Many singers and artists that appear on television have started from the bottom and worked their way up in the world of entertainment. In doing so, their stories have impacted the lives of many people. In addition to these individuals, many admire the superheroes, with their superpowers, that they have grown up watching. But, it is not singers, artists, or superheroes that have had an influence on me; it was a teacher. It took me two years to realize what a great impact one of my high school teachers had on me; she is a fantastic teacher with many strengths and great
According to Katherine, “A creative person has to create. It doesn’t really matter what they create. If such a dance wanted to go out and build the cactus gardens where he could, in Mexico, let him do that, but something that is creative has to go on. (Katherine, Dunham, Dancing a life, 2002)”. It has been said that an idol is someone whom everyone looks up to because of the great things they accomplished throughout their life span. Acknowledged as an African American dancer, choreographer, anthropologist, civil activist and writer. Katherine Dunham, not only normally known for the generous acts of kindness but also for the huge impact she had in incorporating different dance styles and creating them into her very own ballet pieces. An influential woman who supported African American culture and believed there shouldn’t be any divisions between people. Not completely another mother of modern dance but a women who greatly influenced modern dance to enhance it in many ways. Katherine is and was famous for her anthropology movement in the world of dance, her creativity and dedication.
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
Motivation is defined as the process that guides, initiates, and maintains goal orientated behavior and thought (Cherry, 2013). Motivation is what drives individuals to do what they do, whether it is something as simple as getting a drink because he or she are thirsty or something as big as getting up every day and gong to work for a paycheck.
To people who don’t know who I am, I have always been known as the pretty brown skinned girl that had something special about herself that they could not figure out. Nonetheless, whenever I am put in the spotlight to showcase my talents, everyone can finally see what is so mysteriously special about me. I have a quiet confidence about myself that makes people want to get to know me better, and I also stand out amongst other people who are highly confident about themselves. Additionally, I am a talented dancer that uses the special trait of quiet confidence to my advantage when I have to be a leader for my team. My talent/trait of dancing and having a quiet confidence is meaningful to me and would leave this application incomplete without it because these traits help me to appreciate who I am and they will ultimately help me have a successful future.
Mr. Brinton defines an idol as “anything more important to you than god, anything that absorbs your heart and imagination more than god” (Brinton, par. 6), he often insinuates that commitment like this is common, this is not the case. To idolize something the way he defines it can be difficult; one would have to accept everything about an idol and live their lives in the pursuit of pleasing or acquiring it. For a person to idolize power for example they would have to
When watching dance most people only see the glitter, but behind that there is hard work and dedication. Many people don’t think of dance as a sport, but why shouldn’t it be? I think dance deserves to be a sport.
I’ve always loved music and singing, even as a kid. It has always been my passion. Performing on stage is what actually broke me out of my shell. Going into highschool I was very awkward and shy, but music helped me conquer my social awkwardness. Music has helped me give back to my community in ways I never thought of, seeing the smiles on people’s faces when I sing is one of the greatest feelings ever and I cherish it, and the applause when I’m done makes me feel all warm inside. Performing and helping others perform is something I love to do and it helped me find my place in the world. Learning a new song is fantastic experience as well.
I look up to many people from history and the people around me. The person I look up to the most is Neil Armstrong. He was calm in the face of danger. He loved his profession even before he got his pilot license. Also he always look for a way even if it was the last minute.
When I was in middle school I was considered weak, soft, and a person who needed attention. They would say these things despite my athleticism and determination to do the best in whatever I’d do. When I realized the only way to prove them wrong i turned to my athleticism and the only thing keeping me sane was my passion for poetry. I did this all in the hopes of making it into college.
Dance is my passion and has been since I began training at the age of six. My lifelong goal has always been to fuse my knowledge of the world of dance with the world of medicine. The demands of ballet that come with training and performing at a pre-professional level are quite taxing on the body, and I have suffered several debilitating injuries throughout my dance career. These experiences have sparked my passion for rehabilitation and sports medicine. I am currently intending to double major in Dance and Psychology with a minor in Diversity on a pre-medicine track so that I may be able to one day fulfill my dream, and assist dancers with their injuries and pain management. In the winter quarter of 2017, I took an honors Natural World course
Dance is a sport because it is the only sport that requires speed, flexibility and muscle. It also is the physical activity needed to be a dancer. When some people hear the word dance they think that dance is a hobby. Some people think that being able to do the splits and turns just happen overnight well it doesn’t happen overnight they have to practice harder than what you think. Dancers also have to train their bodies to do different kind of technique.
The two reasons that make Shawn Mendes inspiring to me is the fact he writes his own lyrics. Also that he does not sing about money, fame or about being disrespectful to anyone. To be able to do all that and write your own lyrics and sound amazing, is no doubt inspiring. A different kind of inspiration is Bruno Mars, one of the most flashyist artist I know. Bruno Mars full name is Peter Gene Hernandes , Bruno has been singing professionally since 2004. In that same year he signed a record with one of the biggest record lable company’s ever, Atlantic Records. Then with Atlantic Records, he made to Billboards HOT 100. Since then he has sold over 100 albums and singles worldwide. Bruno Mars inspires me because he has been singing infront of thousands on thousands of people, and he makes it look almost effortless. As a singer, he gives me courage to sing in front of people. Demetria Devonne Lovato, otherwise known as Demi Lovato. Demi Lovato was born in Los Angeles, August 20th 1992. Demi Lovato in my opinion is one of best artist’s Ive’ ever heard, both male and female. Even though Demi is a celebrity and everybody loves her. She also was one of the new celebrities that has been through rough times as
However, there are few moments in our lives where we cannot even describe our emotions. I remember exchanging playlist with Daniel Li and thinking to myself, “Wow these songs are not in english and are played on the piano, is Daniel trying to be special by choosing songs that were originally written in a different language?” I did as I was told and chose a quiet setting and plugged in my earphones. The first song started with a lullaby creating a relaxing sensation within me. But as the first song progressed, the pianist began to play more intensely and something inside of me changed. The relaxing sensation suddenly changed into a sense of euphoria. I knew that I was in a state of excitement but there was something else also there that I cannot describe in words. What emotion was I feeling? This feeling created by the pianist was something that I have never experienced before. I could not stop and figure out what this newfound emotion was until the song finally ended. It was as if my emotions were controlling me making me feeling this powerful emotion. The more intimate one is with an experience, then more likely that person is to experience a powerful
