The art piece that I am analyzing is the dance “Takademe” by the Artistic Director of The Alvin Ailey Dance Theater‚ Robert Battle‚ who is known for his more modern dance styles.

I believe that the way I choreographed my dance‚ and what story I chose was empowering. I feel that I bring life to the audience and get them intrigued. The audience hopefully understands the message that I’m trying to send. Not only was this theme empowering to the audience‚ but it was also emporering to me.

No little kid should have to go through this at a
