Practice, Practice, and some more Practice Our primary focus from this point onwards was completely on the final musical scene and the ending scene. For the final musical scene we were thinking out a dance routine. For this I came up with a fifteen second dance routine, which will be done in the scene. In this dance routine Kim and Olivia run towards Luke and I. Then we are supposed to lift them as they jump into our arms. After the lift the girls are supposed to hang on to our necks and we would hold their leg and then spin them. After that, we are to perform the swing dance, which was taught really well by Luke. At the end of the swing dance the girls are to wrap their legs around the guys’ waist and then we are to swing them from one side to another. Then the girls are to get down and side we are to do a side to side step routine ending with a flip. The flip was easy to perform for Kim and I but Like and Olivia are still trying to get the hang of it. Now that the routine was decided, all the focus was put on practice, practice, and more practice. I feel like this dance routine adds a sense of something spectacular to our performance showing our burst of creativity and passion. Along side with the final dance routine, we also had to memorize our lines for our final singing scene and practice our ending scene. The ending scene will be performed in the same order that the passengers got on. So I will begin the ending scene by getting up and saying my line, then Kim, then Luke, and lastly Olivia. During this week, we met outside of class and basically just practice and rehearsed the final and ending scenes to make it as perfect as possible. The dance routine adds a sort of exotic flavor to the performance and the ending scene displays the ignorance of some of the United States public.
In Sync with One Another The main goal of this week was to practice our last dance routine and memorize our lines for the singing parts. We also had to come up with

    Back in summer of 2014 all of our friends were so excited for the new year. We were going to be in 8th grade, at the top of the food chain at our Junior High. Not only were we excited about all the different things we were going to be able to do as 8th grader, like take chinese or year round spanish if you're into that. But what we were focusing on the eye of the prize, the 8th grade dance. The best part about this dance was that it wasn’t any ordinary dance, everyone had to be dressed up in nice clothes or otherwise they would be asked to leave. This…

    The majority of the students had a fun and enjoyable lesson which was one of the objectives of the class. The other objective was to know what a ‘dynamic’ is in dance. I feel all students had a clear understanding of this by the end of the session and demonstrated different dynamics in dance and could also talk about this at the end of the session.…

    On this paper, I will be discussing a theatrical opera from PBS.org called “IL POSTINO” (The Postman); it was adapted by Daniel Catan from the 1994 Oscar-winning Italian film Il Postino as an opera. The play depicts part of the life of Pablo Neruda’s exile to Italy.

Due to those problems, the poet (Pablo Neruda) had to move to the island of Cala di Sotto. The local postman, Mario a fisherman dreamer meets Mr. Neruda and the plot starts….…

    Attending the Spring Dance concert was a fun learning experience. I am glad that this was a required assignment for this dance class because if it was not required I am sure I would not have attended . The variety of dances have taught me different things, and one of them is that you do not have to do complex moves in order to dance. The dance I have decided to write about is Voicing Acceptance choreographed my Nancy Sorensen. There are many reasons why I have chosen to do my paper on this specific dance. I will discuss how the sound or movement, lighting,movement and females/males contribute to the overall success of the dance piece.…

    It was the big day for everyone in the drama club on that one spring afternoon. Citrus High School's drama department was searching for talented students to be in its next big musical: "High School Musical." Some thought that it crept closer and closer throughout the past week, while others, mostly newcomers, wanted time to just slow down. Ms. Neander, the drama teacher, told everyone who was auditioning to take an application and wait outside in the hallway until their name was called to come back in. Everyone seemed to have a bit of jitter to them. Some were walking back and forth trying to memorize all of lines they had been working on to deliver to the judges inside, while others were quietly humming the bars of music they decided on a few days before. I sat near the doorway with my legs crossed and my mind racing. I couldn’t help thinking of all of the reasons why I shouldn’t be auditioning for this show, all of them leading back to the same conclusion: being nervous. I had all the requirements needed to take on this audition, which consisted of a one-minute monologue, and a 16-bar excerpt from as song, and it needed to be memorized. The kicker here for me is that it needed to be performed, and in front of people who were…

    Ever since I can remember, everything was handed to me on a silver platter. Anything I wished for I received. The reason this happened to was, I have a very loving as well as caring family. Because of this pedestal that I was placed on as a child I never understood the hard fact that you had to work for something you wanted, and love for that item or goal wouldn't be enough to take you there. This was until I was denied a position to play in the jazz band when I was in middle school. This set back, woke me up to grasp this important lesson.…

    Throughout the performance there seemed to be a specific theme that unified the dance from beginning to end. This theme included utilizing technology, social media, and branding. Although at times this theme seemed to dissolve and become forgotten, the majority of the dialogue seemed to reincorporate the use of the theme. The use of this specific theme is clever due to the audience relating to the quirky and underlying messages. For example, the conversation that the performers were having towards the end of the performance, they spoke as if they were commenting or tweeting to each other with the use of hashtags. However, there was not a sense of beginning and ending, since the ending became the beginning (confusing, I know).…
