...Ballet Script Introduction Ballet is a form of dance that uses emotions, Physical movement, and gestures. Ballets tell a story, like a play except the dancers don’t speak. Some examples of different ballets are Swan Lake, Cinderella, and the Nutcracker. Ballet is an art, just like a painting or a piece of music. Technique Ballet is based off 5 positions of the feet. Dancers turn their feet outwards which helps with leaps, turns, and balance. In ballet, not only are there positions for the feet, but there are positions for the arms and head, that help with their posture. Because, in ballet you need to have the perfect posture. Ballet dancers dance on the point of their toes which is called dancing on pointe. Usually only female dancers dance...

...abusive, hiding over $700,000 from the IRS, and many other similar offenses. But her most recent charges may just threaten the success of her Lifetime hit reality tv show, "Dance Moms". Will the show come to an end? Or will Abby just get replaced by somebody else? Everyone's replaceable! That's one of Abby's most famous lines from the show that she always says to her dancers, but I'm pretty sure she never considered herself to be included in her own saying. Miller recently pled guilty to fraud charges in June of this year, but she also was charged and pled guilty to a $5,000,000 fraud charge in October of 2015. She is hoping to receive shorter jail time and a smaller penalty, but she already faces up to 30 months in prison just for the charge she pled guilty to back in June. This is causing...

...glitz and glam, and being able to dance next to some of my best friends has undoubtedly impacted me so positively that I couldn’t imagine being any other way. However, there is another side to the dance industry that is quite unnerving, and this is what I will be concentrating on in this Personal Interest Project (PIP). My PIP has a central focus on dancing, along with the concerns and influences that come with being a dancer. This area of enquiry has come from my love and passion for dance, what dancers think of their own body image, whether or not they...

...Getting started with dance can be a very eager process. There are a lot of things you have to consider. First, you have to make sure that whoever is starting dance is prepared. You have to make sure they are potty-trained. You can sign a person up for dance as early as you want, but most studios require that they are potty trained. You also need to make sure they are okay with being without their mom for a while, especially if they are at a very young age. You need to also make sure you are comfortable with being at the studio, and if the dancer is comfortable at the studio. You should make sure the studio is safe, and a good place. When you get into the dance world, you should make sure you have time. Dance takes up a lot of time as you...

...African Dance takes on many shapes and forms due to the hugeness of the continent of Africa it’s self as the worlds second largest continent. There are fifty-four countries in Africa that each have their own unique cultural traits such as rituals, customs, and dialects. Because of this large geographical diversity in the places African Dance is practiced, no two forms are the same so it is preferred to call it African diaspora to reference the slew of dance forms that are included in Africa. Despite the differences of the African forms, Professor Welsh has picked out seven commonalities that can be found across the board. These commonalities are polyrhythm, polycentrism, curvilinearism, dimensionality, epic memory, holistic performers,...

...application, but my life would be incomplete without dance. I have been dancing at Kaiser School of Dance since I was three years old and it is something I am extremely passionate about. Dance has taught me so much over the years. I have learned from teachers, fellow dancers, and even from myself. One of the most important things dance has taught me is the effect of hard work. I am aware that this sounds cliché, but hard work and determination can achieve nearly anything. Dance itself is hard. Putting on shoes that blister my feet and still looking graceful is hard. Making six sounds with tap shoes in two counts of music is hard. However, these things have become second nature due to amount of hard work I have...

...sweetheart, Ora, at the Brown Derby Dance Hall in Parowan. Lucile explained, “The Derby was quite a place in its day. There was a dance there every Saturday night,” Lucile chuckled as she reminisced about the Saturday night she met Ora. The Brown Derby Dance Hall was Southern Utah's gathering place for young people from Milford, Beaver, Cedar, and Paragonah. On that particular Saturday night in 1938, Ora Hofheins stood at the dance hall doorway with his buddies and proclaimed he could get any girl in the place to let him “see her home.” He was promptly taken up on the bet and the odds were on Lucile Evans. But when the music ended, Lucile was nowhere to be found. Apparently, she had learned that Ora was a 'ladie's man' and had already seen several girls home that same night. Despite the loss of a bet, Ora was a determined man. He continued his pursuit of Lucile, keeping the road hot between Beaver and Parowan, until the couple was married September 20, 1939. Ora and Lucile’s romance is just one of hundreds whose seeds were planted at the Brown Derby. The history of the dance halls across Utah's southwest terrain has its own beat in time. From open air to indoors venues, those making their way across the rugged mountains and dry deserts found an escape while on the dance floor....

...Research Paper While traditional Native American dance and the Polynesian dance are both unique to their cultures, a developed comparison reveals they share many similarities in technique and meaning. In this essay, I will evaluate these similarities along with the differences that make each dance unique to its people and their culture. “Dance is a poem in which each movement is a word and is the most hidden language of the soul” this was found searching the web for what others felt the meaning of dance meant to them. An interesting fact about cultures and dance is that dance was used to express how they felt and emit their own expression of themselves. One thing that both Native American and Polynesian both have in common are they both believe in the spirits of their ancestors. When the Polynesian's danced the Hula they thought that if done incorrectly that something would happen and may turn disastrous while Native American dance specifically for a reason and believed if they asked for thanks for necessities they would acquire it. Both dances were created for one reason and one reason only to ask for help spiritually. Native American culture and the way they danced were entirely for their Gods, basically as an offering to show how important they were and how much their Gods were believed in. As the Polynesians too were spiritual and wouldn’t dance until an elder blessed the area in which would be danced upon, they also danced to perform for their people as entertainment...

...Virtual Gaming Video games are a universally part of almost all children’s and adolescents lives. And most of the research done by Psychologist is on its negative impact and has less information regarding its possible positive effects. And still, after decades of research into the negative effects of video games, the result remains controversial (Vitelli, 2014) but is video game playing necessarily harmful? Now, multiple of reviews suggest that we need to look at the positive aspects of virtual games, as well as the negative. Granic, Lobel,& Engels (2013) agreed that in order to understand the impact of video games on children’s and adolescents’ development, a more balanced perspective is needed, one that considers not only the possible negative...

...of those entrepreneurs is an experienced dancer and performer, Jennifer Camacho. Jennifer has been a successful performer for many years, winning international awards and recognition. She believes this is the time for her to expand her horizons and become a business owner. Her idea is to open Dancing with the Stars Academy, where she will be teaching dance to adolescents and young adults. This paper describes the economic considerations related to Jennifer’s dance academy. The Business and Its Competitors Dancing with the Stars Academy will be located in Miami, Florida. Jennifer plans on teaching tango, salsa, rumba, samba, foxtrot, and hip-hop. Research indicates there are approximately eighteen other dance studios in the Miami area. Of these, eight teach the same dance rhythms Jennifer will focus on (Dance Empire, 2015). Many of the dancing studios in the area are differentiated by the type of dance they teach, the type of competitions they attend, the success they achieve at these competitions, the tours they are invited on, and the previous success of the leading instructor. Getting into the market is extremely easy as a dance teacher does not have to own a space but merely rent a location from an existing studio (Rizzuto, 2013). In order to be successful one must have been established as a successful brand, which in this case Jennifer has done through her past success as a dancer and teacher. Market Structure There are four different types of market structures: monopoly...

...attended last year and this is a club we would go to on the weekends. Being from PG County, Maryland and going to this club in Ohio was a different scene. Nightclubs in general are a universal part of my generation and also culture. Nightclubs are social venues and attract all genders, races, and ethnicities. Nightclubs are a place where you can meet friends or make friends, a place where you could dance, a place where you could enjoy the newest and hottest music. For some nightclubs are where they meet prospective dates, and nightclubs are aware of this, which is why they keep it all in mind when they are being designed. I have two goals for this observation my first goal is to see how the club goers interact with one another, which gender approaches the other more often? Also does the race of an individual play a role in how other interact with them? Second, I hope to investigate how club employees interact and treat the club goers, again based on race and gender. In this observation I hope to reveal hoe club goers interact and are treated while in nightclubs. I have three Research questions I posed during this observation. Does the gender of the individual have any affect on how they are treated while attending the club? Which gender is more likely to approach the other? Lastly, how does the club (employees, managers, bouncers, etc.) treat the genders and races? With these questions I hope to reveal my goals, which are stated above. Abstracts Buford May, R. A.,...

...Creative Spark Paper PHL/458 Creative Minds and Critical Thinking July 7, 2014 Abstract In the video John Bohannon, a scientist and writer, gives a presentation which takes place in November 2011 at an international convention hosted TED in Brussels, Belgium. Bohannon introduces a modest proposal for easing our economic financial burden through the use of dance vice power point presentations. The idea first came to Bohannon during a conversation with a friend who is physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). His friend was struggling to explain a scientific experiment on “lasers could be used to cool down matter”. Science is a subject where the more words that are spoken the more confusing it becomes. Therefore by the end of the conversation with his friend, Bohannon, was more confused. Then thought the experiment could have been explained more clearly through dance. Dance vs. PowerPoint As I scanned the list of Creative Spark videos I decided to make my selection based on the title that grasped my attention. I eventually narrowed it down to three. However the first video that I watched was titled “Dance vs. power point, a modest proposal by John Bohannon and the only one. In no way shape or form am I a science buff. Therefore when his presentation captured and maintained my attention that spoke volumes. Bohannon makes the statement, “bad power point presentations are a serious threat to our global economy” while it sounds like a ridiculous...
