It is surprising for an individual to meet a famous person in the neighborhood or in a vacation resort, but how much more surprising it is for a person to get a job with a notable individual. I was shocked when as a new immigrant I got a job at The Anna Wyman School of Dance Arts and I was privileged to work with a Canadian choreographer, dancer and the Artistic Director, Anna Wyman. Through my work with her, I was able to explore the history of Canadian modern dance and to learn about my employer’s significant offerings to it. Wyman has made a great contribution to Canadian modern dance in the 70’s and 80’s with her dance company that was called- Anna Wyman Dance Theatre. Although, nowadays, we cannot admire her dance theatre anymore, the legacy resounds in her work as an artistic director, choreographer and teacher at The Anna Wyman School of Dance Arts.
To begin with, I was excited that Ballet West performed in the Capital Theater because I had never had the pleasure of stepping into that particular theatre before. I adored the grand elegance of the theatre itself and the kindness of the staff members working. I was pleased to discover how nice the view was from my seat, and it was nice to see the staff go the extra mile to really help each patron enjoy their experience. For example, one of the Ushers
Hey Kelli. Do you mind if I bring some of the theatre cast over this afternoon? We're in Hell Week for Midsummer Night's Dream and we wanted to get some extra practice in before rehearsal tonight.
There are kids and students, even from a young age, who are told by their parents that they have to play a sport. These parents find it important that their kids be involved in some type of physical activity, and it is. So a little girl thinks taking a dance class would be interesting and that she would be able to please her parents by this choice of sport. But when she comes to tell them what sport she would like to take up, they tell her dance is not a sport. Even after explaining to them that if someone is good enough they can compete, which is just like any other sport, this little girl’s dream of being a competitive dancer is crushed by her parents jaded view of what is considered a sport. The word “sport” is defined in the dictionary
In the world of theatre, auditions are critical in order to have an exquisite show. However, auditions can be tricky and demanding, especially if it is for a musical. A regular theatrical audition is different in comparison to a musical audition; the steps may look more complicated, and it can seem convoluted for a first time auditionee. For this reason, it is difficult to get into a show without prior experience. So, this guide can benefit a majority of people who wants to undergo an audition, especially if it is their first time auditioning. Furthermore, the age can range from 13 to 30 years-old.

They were accompanied by two senior student choreographers, Alanna Neely-Sanchez and Mavra Pedraza.
As a dancer myself, I can understand why people do not think dance is a sport. For my 11 years of dancing, I have been told that dancing is not a sport. I might be against this statement , but I can somewhat agree that dancing isn’t a sport. Dancing is more considered an art than a sport according to Tengaged. However, dancers are not always competing against another team, which is one reason why dance not considered a sport. Debate.org states that people do not think that there is much physical activity required to dance. Lastly, dancers are not scored by how many points or goals they make, but by a panel of judges.
Gymnastics is the physical activity that create and show quality, parity, and nimbleness performed on or with specific device. Cheerleading is one who drives the cheering of observers, as at a games challenge. On the off chance that you haven't saw yet, the definitions are totally distinctive.

A high school principal in Main cancels all dances because of tv’s suggestive grinding. He believes that it should be like the old fashioned dances and not inappropriate. He has even closed homecoming dance, and his students begged him not to do it. It turns out he is not the only one who has closed dances because of twerking.
... social dance. Many people in today’s society enjoy social; dancing. Chapter eleven dance concert, properly planning and establishing a dance concert is of the utmost importance. The partnership with the lighting designer usually takes priority over all other factors. One of the most important issues concerning customers has to do with mobility.

Miami Dade College’s very own dance majors, who were challenged by the artistry of guest choreographers as well as themselves, performed The Art of Dance. Watching this performance truthfully made me question if the dancers in this program were being trained properly to be professional dancers

Over Halloween weekend, Dance TCU in concert, performed at Ed Landreth Hall on the TCU campus, was a mid term showcase performed by the students in the TCU School for Classical and Contemporary Dance. The overall mood was very professional. These college level dancers performed various pieces from Giselle to video edited versions of dance to contemporary dances inspired by swing dancing. Each piece was unique and whether the style was classical or contemporary, the execution was very good. The quality of the performance was spectacular and showed all the work that everyone involved in the production has put out to perfect all the aspects of the show come together. While there were some minor technique errors, the staging, costume design, lighting,
I attended Chorale rehearsal Wednesday the 11th from 1- 1:50pm. I arrived before most of the students in the group and I sat in the audience. As the students started to arrive they would all grab their numbered books and go straight to their spots. Rehearsal began right on time and everybody was there. They started rehearsal off with a prayer, and then the director, Ryan Smit, had the people in the back row make sure the shelves were aligned to make sure the sound was going to sound right. They all then went through a series of stretches and voice warmups, like diction practice and peeling off lead by the director. Before they even started singing they went through all of their warmups and took them very seriously. They also had announcements
In the beginning I had a hard time finding what topic to do because I don’t do many activities of things that relate to my life. I could only think about things with my family, but none have interesting questions. I eventually chose dance because there are many components of dance that I don’t even think about. I began to wonder; why dance? How does it benefit me?
