Recommended: Prepared speech about dance

My principal extracurricular activity has been dancing, which I have been pursuing since I was a sixth grader. Indubitably, my dance has given me my identity and recognition at school. I am the ‘dancer’ who can be called upon to save the day anytime! Today, I cannot separate my art from me, for we are one.

As a part of my school’s exclusive dance troupe, we not only perform in school for multiple occasions, like, Prize Day, National Day (UAE), India’s Republic Day and Independence Day etcetera, but also participate in inter-school competitions and win prizes. I also performed in Rangoli, a program that dance, on national television in month year.

Some competitions that I partook are, Jhankaar, in 2011, 2012, and 2014, the Creative Fest in …show more content…

I enjoy the process in the start where we have to research and find or design the choreography for the performance. I thrive as we try new songs; make new mixes, for that unleashes my creative energies. Also,

Being present at the venue and meeting other competitors from other schools from the UAE has other advantages; as life in the UAE tends to make each group, live in their own external tangent circle. Thanks to the competitions, I made some friends for life!

Dancing on the stage, under the arc lights, in front of many spectators, also helped me get rid of stage fright. That in turn enabled me to enjoy my dance even more. Today, I long for the next time I get to dance on stage. Moreover, I feel so alive and in general I like people to notice me. My dance performances imbued me with confidence, which made me a confident debater and speak to my audiences powerfully.

Finally, I would like to say that dancing gave me an identity in school. I feel happy when my cohorts recognize me and to younger girls join the dance group, as they want to dance like me. My teachers and those junior to me will remember me as a dancer and I will miss school mainly because I will miss my dance family. Indubitably, I will cherish the times I have spent – performing on stage, practicing and making many friends at

  • Agnes de Mille’s Impact in the World of Dance

    1399 Words  | 3 Pages

    Throughout the years, America has pursued the performing arts in a large variety of ways. Theatre plays a dramatic and major role in the arts of our society today, and it takes great effort in all aspects. Musical Theatre, specifically, involves a concentration and strength in dance, acting, and singing. This is the base that Musical Theatre is built upon. For my Senior Project, I helped choreograph multiple scenes in a community musical “Thoroughly Modern Millie”. Choreography is a way of expressing oneself, but it has not always been thought of for that purpose. Agnes de Mille’s expressive talent has drastically affected how people see choreography today. Agnes de Mille’s influence in the world of dance has left a lasting impact in the Performing Arts Department, and her revolutionary works are still known today for their wit, lyricism, emotion, and charm.

    At age 3, I remember the spotlight shining on stage, as I danced my first dance recital. At 6, I remember moving to St. Louis, Missouri and trying to find a brand new dance studio and leaving the one behind in New Jersey. At 12, I remember I tried out for the Dance Floor’s competition team and not making the team, but I was put on another competitive team. At 14, I tried out for the Lafayette’s Dance Team, and not making the team and broke down in tears; I thought my high school career was over, not until I tried out for the tennis team.

    As part of my school’s dance course, we had to collaborate with another student to create a dance performance to showcase at the school’s choreography night. With younger students as our dancers, we were in control of the choreography, rehearsals, lighting design, costume design, budget and the organisation of dancers. This was a great experience that allowed me to understand the organisation and collaboration required to pull off a performance. I greatly enjoyed working with my partner towards a shared goal, as well as the responsibility for the quality of the performance. The undertaking of such responsibility was greatly rewarding and working on the backstage elements of the piece was particularly interesting and engaging for me. This assignment helped me realise how satisfying and motivating I found the preparation and coordination of organising performances, and fuelled my desire to work in production and

  • The Sport Dance

    1979 Words  | 4 Pages

    As Jackie Joyner Kersee once said, “The rewards are going to come, but my happiness is just loving the sport and having fun performing” (“Sports Quotes,” 2013). Sports play a major role in entertainment all across the world. Sports can range from driving in NASCAR to playing in the NBA (Careers in Pro Sports, 1999). Sports usually involve teamwork and is fun for everyone. Although sports are supposed to be fun, there is natural competition. Being a feminine art, dance is considered to be just about anything other than a sport. Dancers are trained to the height of their ability, just like other athletes in other sports. Even though the dancer might not perform with their whole dance studio on stage at the same time, the dancers are all apart of the same team. Dancing is not an easy sport to participate in, so if you are looking for a sport that does not require practice then you might want to look into a different sport. There are hour-long practices, healthy diets, and several routines to remember. Normally, if someone is convinced that dance is not a sport, they have not fully engaged or experienced dance. In order to better understand dance, it is important to understand the history of dance, the competition of dance, and the comparison of dance to other sports.

  • Should Dance Be Allowed In Schools

    To name a few, these benefits include things such as the reduced risk of obesity, healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and the enhancement of an overall balanced lifestyle (Macdonald, 2010). There is significant evidence that children who partake in the performing arts spend less time sitting in front of a computer screen and therefore are at less of a risk of developing health problems, such as compressed spinal conditions including Scoliosis and an increased kyphotic curve (Stagecoach, 2014). Whilst dance is a decent way of incorporating fun and exciting ways of exercising into a young person’s lifestyle, it is also a good way to allow the expression of emotions in a creative way. The ability to express emotion comfortably in front of others shows mental maturity, and learning to do so through movement and dance provides a safe gateway for young children to explore their emotions, becoming better acquainted with oneself and others (Anttila, 2011). Nonverbal communication represents two thirds of all communication (Stagecoach, 2014).

    As a child I always wanted to be in the spotlight. I was always the ham in family pictures, the one who had to excel past my brother, and be in the know of everything. When I was about twelve years old, I realized that entertaining people was what I was all about. Since I wasn’t any good at telling the jokes around the campfire or singing acappella, I thought about trying my dance skills. I liked dancing and I have always enjoyed music videos like Janet Jackson’s “Miss you much”, so I thought why not? What did I have to lose? With the support of my parents, particularly my mom, I went for the gusto.
