Personal Narrative: My Dance Aesthetic
My personal aesthetic would be music. I enjoy all types of music, but my favorite would be progressive rock/metal. I love picking apart songs and instruments to understand the specific notes that are being highlighting. For entertainment, I prefer going to concerts, broadway shows, and the movies. My dance aesthetic would be ballet. I find the way they move and dance it’s extremely different than any other dance. I feel that it takes pure dedication and practice to obtain the skills that enables one to do ballet.
These three videos all have things in common which are dance, music, and expression. All dancers are going along with music, they tend to express the emotion of the music being played, and make certain notes more dramatic than others

    I really enjoyed reading your essay and I could identify myself in many points there. I was also a very shy girl and I used to love dance! I didn't go so far as you in my dance classes, but it is very interesting the way you describe how you were able to communicate through the dance everything you couldn't through the words. you really touched me with your essay as I could picture myself as that little girl. I just think you could make you argument a little more clear for readers that don't have the same degree of identification as me and you could include also a little more censorial description to get the readers more involved about the importance of dancing in your life and what kind of sensations dancing used to bring to you. Overall,…

I joined a gymnastics gym near my house in second grade when i was 9, and started competing when i was 10. My mom told me that I have to do well in school if I was going to be focused on a sport along with school, or she would take me out of gymnastics. Soon enough, I wasn’t doing so well in social studies and comm skills. I was scared my mom would make me quit, But I worked as hard as I could so get back up there.

    My love for music began in middle school. At that time, I was socially awkward with very few friends. To compensate, I buried myself in music. My dedication led to many honors and admiration from my peers. However, when I got to high school, my relationship with music fundamentally changed. The arrival of an overly demanding teacher coupled with a long episode of depression robbed me of my passion to play. As time progressed, the pain I felt became too much to bear, and I became desperate for an outlet in which I could express myself positively. My quest led me to music once more, but classical was no longer the genre of choice. It was in hip hop and rap music that I found the will to overcome mental illness.…

    Because I was always one of those kids that never felt comfortable doing any sport, when I discovered that I had a talent for dancing, I was overjoyed. I started dancing during my fifth grade year of school. Immediately I became infatuated with the art. Working very hard my sixth grade year enabled me to join my academy’s dance company. One day during my musical theatre class while doing a combo something wasn’t right. My right leg had a twinging pain and when I did the big kick at the end of the combo, I knew I had pushed myself too far. What should have been the beginning of a long dance career turned into a very long year and a half search of trying to find a way to heal whatever was wrong. It was an experience that I’ll never forget.…

    When asked in class every year which subject I admired the most, my answer was always “none”. Although the grades in my core curriculum classes were always excellent, I never found interest in the basic subjects. Math was a bunch of numbers with letters, science just reviewed our bodies and the how the world was believed to be through one scientist theories and history repeated itself, constantly. As a freshman, I contemplated tremendously over what major and career I would pursue for the rest of my life. I never knew there were more subjects than just science, English, math and history until the day my mother introduced me to unraveling my creativity in the summer.…
