Suddenly, the end of the year sneaks up on you. This time of the year is always so busy (in a good way) and packed to the brim with craziness. At the end of the year we wrote folklore stories, and four of them were turned into plays. I was in one about the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team. My character had a mustache that unexpectedly fell off during the play. I improvised and said that I had shaved. There also were mini acts between each play where people could showcase a talent. I performed a comedy act, that everyone loved. After the plays, our class went out for fro-yo at Yummie’s. One fundraising event that we do at Martha Brown is red Nose Day, where you can buy a red nose for a dollar, which is donated to help stop child poverty. Then, another
fundraising event called Kid-2-Kid. Kid-2-Kid, where you donate money to Golisano Children’s Hospital, and there is a huge picnic and a walk outside. The most awesome activity we do all year is the Medieval Faire, where you dress up as a medieval character and do all kinds of crazy activities. I was a blacksmith with bellows and everything! Over the course of the year, I have made many new friends, like Ben Schwab, Connor Sackett, Ryan Dugan, Robert LaFay, Grace and Parker Scherlien, and Kateriina Rao.
The next work of the program, Courtly Airs and Dances, is a multi-movement work composed by Ron Nelson. The piece is split into six movements: Intrada, Basse Danse, Pavane, Saltarello, Sarabande, and Allemande. Each of these present distinct characteristics that separate it from each other movement, yet all are united by being a style of dance. The first movement, Intrada, presents a fanfare-like opening to the multi-movement work. The trumpets and brass section as a whole lead this, as they create a sense of nobility. The key is major and the tempo is one that could be described as allegretto—it is not a fast tempo, yet more brisk than an andante pace. The texture is homophonic, as there are different parts being performed by different

Ultimate Brawl Dance Competition, also known as “Ultimate Brawl: Battle of Distinction,” is a hip-hop dance competition held each year that showcases some of the most talented dance teams from the west side of the United States. 909 Hip Hop Dance Troupe, a hip-hop dance team that formed in University of California, Riverside nineteen years ago, hosts this show every year at the Fox Performing Arts Center in Riverside. This year Ultimate Brawl was held on April 19, 2014, marking the fourteenth year in production. The show line up made up of widely known exhibition and competition teams, such as Cookies, Kings and Queens, and 220, kept me on the edge of my seat and gave me a genuine feeling of the emotion presented by each performer.
My first choice was a ballet piece named La Sylphide. La Sylphide is a story about a young Scottish man named James who is soon to be wed. He falls asleep and has an intricate dream about a beautiful sylphide, which is a spirit. In his dream they dance and he soon falls in love with the sylphide. When he awakes, he soon forgets about the sylphide and focuses on his fiancée.
We recently watched the movie Ballet 422 and were required to take some simple notes on it. We were given no special instruction for these notes, except to simply write down things, or events, that stuck out to us in the movie. I am now aware that these notes were made to aid us in comparing color guard with these ballet performers. I realized that we both are always aiming to perform better, are able to adjust to overcome obstacles, and we all make mistakes, no matter how professional we are.
It was my final moments as a Chelsea High School cheerleader. My final banquet had quickly approached. It was then that I realized I was not ready for the season to be over. I stood in front of my friends, fellow cheerleaders, and their families as they watched and waited for me to recite my last words as the season came to an end. It took hours for me to write about what my teammates and my coaches meant to me. I did not want to sound too nostalgic since I’m not the emotional type, but I also did not want to come across as indifferent. It was a difficult task but I knew I could accomplish it.
With the help of the Me To We team at Queen Street Public School, I volunteered at a local food bank. The experience was quite educational and fascinating. We encouraged staff and students to donate non-perishable food items for the "We Scare Hunger" campaign. This was definitely a highlight of my grade five year because I felt very humble and warm-hearted by doing a simple act of kindness. In addition, I was chosen to participate in the "Intergenerational" program. This was created so that grade five students can learn more from the elders of the Burton Manor senior home. We had the privilege to learn about their history and interact with them through several educational and fun activities. If accepted, I will indeed join several clubs and teams to contribute my time and talents to make the school an exciting learning
I can recall last year our president came up with a No Shave November fundraiser which involved a “who can grow the longest beard?” type of contest. We all had to sign up for committees that were a part of the set up. I co chaired an advertisement committee where we set up posters and got the word out about this new event so students would get involved. When it came down to sign ups, there was a low attendance. I overheard a group of guys arguing with each other about the contest and who would win, seeing that the competition part really excited them I challenged them to all join for the fun of it and a possible prize if they did win. All of them signed up that day and even though the event didn't end up being successful it was fun to see them involved and questioning me everyday about who was winning.
Imagine this. You’re getting exorbitantly dressed and ready to see a performance of Swan Lake at Carnegie Hall. You have been earnestly waiting for months to watch what spectacular talent and beauty awaits. The hype of going to see this show in person has put you in a daze. You finally get into your seats and wait for the curtains to open. At this moment you are about to jump out of your seat and rip those curtains off the latch. They finally open and a ballerina playing the role of Odette appears with her stunning outfit. She gracefully walks out onto the stage to start the show. The orchestra starts and you 're beyond ready to see her elegantly sweep the audience away with the beautiful ballet dancing. She starts
The fall dance concert, Rise, was held in the University Theatre at California State University Dominguez Hills. The individuals that helped make this concert come to life are the faculty choreographers: Amy Michelle Allen, Marco Carreon, Sarah Cashmore, Jeff Hendrix, Erin Landry, Doris Ressl Acosta, and Kenneth Walker. They were accompanied by two senior student choreographers, Alanna Neely-Sanchez and Mavra Pedraza.
After watching, Save the Last Dance on an NBC affiliate television station, I would analysis if the movie both had the characteristics and displayed the functions of Mass media. Characteristics that must be presented for mass media to have taken place are mass media must be presented and this large audience must have delayed feedback. First and foremost, I would take into consideration whether or not the film had “Mass Media” meaning a large audience which it does due to how it is presented which I will speak further into momentarily. The next aspect that I would take into consideration is how this large audience has a delayed feedback to this film as a result of the receivers being far away from the source of information presented. According
In the Sixth Form, I regularly attend the school Debating Society, where I jointly hold the senior most position and organize many school charity events in my Senior Prefect role of Charities Coordinator. In the past, this has included raising nearly £3000 on the behalf of an Indian Cultural Society Fashion Show for the Indian earthquake. I was involved in the establishing of the first ever Student School Council in which I was Year Representative.
First of all, Rhythmic Gymnastics is a women-only event, and it is requires high levels of flexibility, agility, and coordination. The athletes will perform the combination which is integrating the amazing gymnastic and dancing movement to coordinating the background music. Also, the athletes will use the props to make the movement more powerful and stunning. Therefore, in this essay, i would like to compare the changes of the pass and modern rhythmic gymnastic in the Olympic Game.
Besides academics, fine arts and sports in school, I have attained leading roles in different groups. This year, I am the Spirit Leader of Student Council encouraging monthly goals and themes and assisting in school events. From creating a student council with a group of peers three years ago we have had success in many events and have found new ways to spread spirit, gather important information and assist with financial groups. Recently, I stepped up to be the leader of the fundraising committee for our ...
