3. Tell us about your favorite dance moment. My favorite dance moment was this past year when I realized I placed first over-all at the Dancers Inc. regional competition in Norristown. It was the first time I had ever placed in over-alls for my solo. I was extremely excited
Her father was very interested in the way people used their bodies, an interest that inspired her daughter. In only seven years, Graham went from a dance student, to a teacher, to one of the best-known performers of all time. In these seven years, she probably had the expert hours of 10,000 hours, which according to Gladwell would make her an outlier. Many of her dances came from past history and history that was surrounding her. Many outliers got their ideas and thoughts on the outside history that was surrounding them as well.
In the video, the dance looked like it was very easy to execute but having already been in the technique class all year, it is amazing to know that doing the movements correctly is actually difficult. May O’Donnell constructs her pieces with the use of spacial structure. She organizes her dancers so that different groups are spread out differently throughout the stage and at times she uses all dancers in one singular spacial structure, like a diagonal. She changes the organization on stage frequently so that the audience would be constantly captivated by the rapid action on stage. She also uses many other choreographic tools to keep the attention of the audience and bring contrast to her piece.

Taylor was born July 20th, 1930, in Edgewood Pennsylvania. After growing up in Depression-era America in and around Washington, D.C., Taylor studied painting at Syracuse University.
I dreamed of having long hair, so I'd dance around with towels on my head, pretending it was my hair streaming out behind me," she told www.culturekiosque.com. Her first dance training occurred during her father's year-long military assignment in Spain. Her Spanish grandfather suggested she learn the local dance, so Alonso studied flamenco and even learned to play the casta-nets. At eight years old, she returned with her family to Cuba and took her first ballet
I’m a dancer who likes to dance to any music that I can easily make up choreography to. Whenever I always listen to music I tend to create a dance in my mind out of the song I am listening to. Honestly I really can't sum my life up only on one page but I’ll do my best. I love to laugh and have a good time, I'm usually smiling and if I’m not, most likely something’s wrong. I laugh over the littlest and stupidest things.
I did not even know what slip was or how to use it yet. Reading some of the second and third week journal entries I saw that after a few demonstrations from our professor I was able to use the slip and even build up walls now. I remember feeling so accomplished, almost like I was ready to build anything. When it came time to actually complete our first ceramic piece I was excited. For this piece we were allowed to choose to make what ever we wanted as long as we told our professor about it first and showed her a sketch of it in our sketchpads.

In 1960, Vivian took Debbie and her siblings to live with her in Mexico. After almost two years in Mexico, the Allen family returned to Texas, where the twelve year old Debbie auditioned for the Houston Ballet School. Debbie’s performance was good enough for admission, however the school denied her entry based on the color of her skin. Fortunately, a year later, a Russian instructor at the school who saw Debbie perform and secretly enrolled the aspiring dancer. When the admissions department discovered what had happened, they were going kick her out but they were so impressed with her skills that they let Allen stay in the program.
Never stop half-way, or give in under pressure. Never be afraid of the competition. Doing this will make you become a stronger person, more determined, and want to succeed at every other dream you have in life. This quote is important in the book because Sam’s dad always told her this when she was little, and after he passed away she used the strength from those words to make it through the rest of her life. “It’s not only about what you wear, but who you are.” As Asrid is saying this over the speakers at the Halloween Ball, everyone there realizes that under their costumes they can be whoever they want for the night.
