She was heavily influenced by no other than the late, great, “Lady of Song,” Ms. Ella Fitzgerald. Ella Fitzgerald was born on April 25, 1918, in Newport News, Virginia, but she spent her youth just outside New York City in Yonkers, New York, and received her musical education in public schools. During elementary school she began singing at her local church, the Bethany African Methodist Episcopal Church. At fifteen her mother died and she was cared for by her aunt in Harlem, a black neighborhood in New York that was rich with jazz music. When only sixteen, she received her first big break at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, when she won an amateur-night contest and impressed saxophonist-bandleader Benny
If you are doing a happy dance and you are dancing without a smile the audience is going to wonder, “What’s wrong with them? This is supposed to be a happy song why do they look like they are don’t want to be here.” Even though it isn’t about what people think you have to keep in mind that you are dancing for God. Whenever I praise dance I try to let the words and my movements portray my feelings. It is
Strictly Ballroom Notes World of Ballroom Dancing Ballroom dancing is glamour but it's contrasted with Shirley Hastings (with over the top make up) screaming and the evil villain Barry Fife (who is lit from the bottom to create shadows and horn like eyebrows) - Dance Federation Scott Hastings Scott Hastings; Australian - which is shown by his Aussie accent and singlet when he dances in front of the mirror. Also a quote "Oh get off it will ya" Passionate - the close ups on his face as he dances Fran Fran; More natural in the movie. Comes from a Spanish community. She lives in a stereotypical migrant house and the setting of where she lives (which is near train tracks) shows she is living on the other side of the tracks. Again shows her world is contrasted with the artificial world of ballroom dancing.
Celia Cruz was born on October 21, 1924, in the Santo Suarez neighborhood of Havana. Her singing talent was obvious even when she was young, but instead of pursuing a career in singing, she studied to be a teacher. This was because her father told her that he did not believe that singing was a worthwhile profession for a woman. She still went after a career in singing, after encouragement from her mother, teacher and aunt. Cruz first began singing in talent shows and doing recordings for radio stations, but neither were sold for money.
As her name Silver, implies vividness. When they first met, while Mattie is dancing in an eloquent hall and while Ethan is waiting for her, “he desires to stand there with her all night in the blackness.” (Wharton E. 22) His passion for Mattie grows and grows. “But it was not only that the coming to his house of a bit of hopeful young life was like the lighting of a fire on a cold hearth”, (Wharton E. 16) the beautiful and happy Mattie clutches a promise to transform Ethan’s sterile being. Wharton makes a definite choice for Ethan, that he truly loves Mattie and comes to hate his wife Zeena. But his sense of responsibility to Zeena thwarts him from being assertive to be with
Chrysten Jordan L. Hicks English 1 Pre-AP September 28, 2011 When girls are young, they start planning and dreaming about their wedding day, and can’t wait until they grow up to finally be married and experience the dream they’ve always wanted. They see it as a fairytale, and love the fact that they will get to be a real princess on their wedding day and have the best day that they could think of. However, a fairytale is not what marriage is at all. On the contrary, about 83 percent of women are in one way or another, abused by their husbands. For the truth is women are sometimes considered to be weak, and are easily overpowered and imprisoned by men, and are not able to live out their dreams, and are only left to wonder.
Tyra Banks Tyra came from bleak beginnings and was born on December 4, 1973, in Los Angeles, California. She has grown as an amazing woman who has changed the fashion world in the best possible way. As a model and a very morally correct woman she taught people that appearance do not matter nearly as much as what is on the inside of a person.

I’m still here, caring and looking after her every step of the way. I know this is one of the biggest days of her life, one she has been looking forward to ever since she was young, and one that she will remember for the rest of her life. I can still remember one of our conversations like it was just yesterday, one about her dream wedding. It would be sweet and quiet, nothing too fancy, with white roses and lilies everywhere. She always talked endlessly about what her dress would be like and how she wanted a veil that floated freely down her face that could be pushed back over her head like in the movies.
He couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw the bright lights of the city and he thought that they were incredibly beautiful. The short story shows another contrast between city life and country life when the main character wonders, “Who is paying for all these lights?” It’s obvious that foreigners are not familiar with such extravagant items where they are from. Besides the lights that he describes, the beer, the nightclub, and the disco dancing are all products of Western culture. Being from African culture, the main character is in awe of everything that is occurring around him. This is especially clear when Duayaw’s female friend asks for a beer to drink at the nightclub.
