Mesh Of Me
While creating my work, I intend to focus on how music influences movement. I will explore how movement changes or stays the same with different styles of music, and how you can juxtapose movement qualities with the various qualities presented in the music.

Dances I once enjoyed watching, I no longer do. However, many forms of dance I had never seen before coming to this university. For instance, I had never seen or done modern before, and now I do it almost every day. College has given me a greater understanding of the true depth of this art form and a larger
