My Goals
I dance because its helps me express myself in a creative and unique way. Dance is a huge challenge for me and takes a lot of practice and hard work. It gives me something to try hard at and accomplish. I know I am not the best at dancing, but I will give it my best. I have only had a little bit of dancing experience, which was when I was younger. I chose to be in Meadowcreek's dance classes so that I could get the proper dancing skills and training required to be a good dancer.
After being in the class, I set myself some short and long term goals to help improve my dance techniques. My short term goals include being able to dance on rhythm with all the different types of music we will dance too, and to work and be successful with my dancing. My long term goals include having an outstanding performance at the end of the semester shows, and being able to teach others how to dance with the knowledge I gain in the class.
How I view my body, strengths, and weaknesses are greatly important. I view my body as unique and average. I could even exercise more to give me the energy to dance more efficiently. My strengths include not giving up and having a lot of confidence, even when I feel I can’t do it. I am eager to learn and feel that no matter how much training I need, I am still a great asset to the team. My weaknesses are not being good at keeping an eight count while dancing, and losing my concentration very easily.
I feel I can bring determination to the dance department. I mess up a lot during class but I never give up and tell myself I can’t do it. I push myself to the end for dance. I also don’t take dance as a competition to be better than anyone. I take it as something to enjoy and have fun with. I think the dance department is great, but with me it will be

    Dance has always been my passion. When I was undergoing some difficult problems in my life, I always turned back to dancing. For nine years I had been going to the same dance studio, Pointe & Plie, however, a couple of years ago the owner of the company had closed her dance studio and relocated to another city. I was devasted because I had grown to love the instructors and build a strong friendship with the girls there. After that I knew dance would never be the same.…

    I learned the basic knowledge and terms, and I also learned the major positions that were used. During those years, I also gained new set of dance skills and talents. At the end of my years in Junior Company, I realized that the number of hours I spent on extra practice, had actually paid off. I was able to catch up to the other dancers my age, which gave me more confidence in my abilities. Because of those extra hours of practice, I was able to join Senior Company as one of the youngest dancers.…

    Why Is Dance A Sport

    The body is intricately made and can do amazing things. Dancers tap into the muscles of their body that many people do not know exist, much like athletes. A dancer trains hard, spends hours in the studio, is always looking to improve their skills, and engages in competition. The same can be said about football, basketball, and baseball players. People assume that dance is not as challenging or aggressive on the body as other sports. But I, as a dancer, can validate that it is just as hard and uses large groups of muscles to complete certain steps, or moves. Dance has potential to be classified as a sport by society, when all evidence and support is considered.…

    As a child I always wanted to go professional but as I grew older felt like my chances of doing so were not realistic. I did not have the training that every else had, plus I am dark skin, you rarely I see a chocolate girl en pointe. However coming to Towson has gave me hope. I discovered DTH and I made it my goal to dance there. I may not ever be company member but I would be doing myself a disservice if I did not try. Someone in the department told me that I have to believe that I am more than enough, and in that moment it clicked for me. Because I am more than enough I will dance for a lifetime. We are all unique and what I have to offer to the world is important. Going to DTH will not only help me improve as a dancer but it will also be a symbol of courage to toward “dancing for a life…

    Dance Memoir

    • 564 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The atmosphere that existed within my dance studio was one so utterly supportive and positive, that my love for dance grew stronger. The girls that I spent hours each week with, became sisters to me. We were able to support one another in class, as well as within our personal lives. By spending so much time with such wonderful people, I’d like to think that I have become a better person. My time dancing at Miss Charity’s Shuffles and Chaînes has taught me how to love myself, and everything that makes me, me. It has taught me freedom of expression, and the value in making art out of what matters to me. It has taught me how to respect other opinions and ideas, even when they are different from my own. It has taught me the value in friendship, and that a healthy support system is the perfect thing to end a stressful day with. It has taught me discipline, kindness, teamwork, and many other valuable traits. The thought of leaving dance is one that I cannot fathom, and it is for that reason that I will try and keep it a part of my life as long as I see fit. I may not want to pursue a career in dance, but I can’t see myself abandoning something that has become a part of who I am. Without dance, I am not Taylor Ann Ruzewski, and I wouldn’t want to be anyone different that the person I am…

    Dance played a major role in terms of helping me to accept the move from Australia to Shanghai and shaped the person I am today. This remarkable performing art consists mainly of two aspects, technicality and emotion. Technique can be determined through numbers. It refers to how many turns you can do, how beautiful your arch is, how high you can lift your leg. Emotion is what makes you special. It cannot be differentiated through numbers or figures, but rather through how you express yourself and how your performance makes the audience feel. Dance took these two aspects and blended them together to create one magnificent performing…

    As I reflected on my past years of dance, I realized that my identity and personhood would not be the same without it in various ways. Throughout my career as a dancer, I have met many classmates and instructors who I have become very close friends with and talk to at least weekly. My teachers have not only taught me how to cha cha and jive; I have learned many significant life lessons from their experiences not only as dancers, but as people that have come to my aid many times, and I am very grateful for them sharing their wisdom with me. Learning how to dance was a lively but difficult process that helped strengthen me physically and mentally. To end, my overall dance experience has played a very important part in the shaping of who I am today, who I was yesterday, and who I will be…

    During this semester so far, I feel that I have grown not only to be a better dancer, but I have improved my performance quality in the classroom. As I am in my third semester of ballet II, I really want to focus on the things that I can perform better at. Although I do have goals for myself such as, fully completing a double pirouette on my left as well as a triple pirouette on my right, and strengthening my glute’s and hamstring more instead of gripping in my hip flexors and quadriceps when doing grande battements. Throughout the rest of the semester in ballet, I plan to fully put effort towards these goals so that I can improve and more forward.…
