All that practice and hard work had paid off! After the audition, I enjoyed my first year on the dance team, and many more years to follow. This experience has helped me to stop doubting myself whenever I want to accomplish an objective and just go for it. I now know that if one has a goal that one wants to accomplish, and is willing to put one’s heart into it, one can make anything
Ballet Dancers: The Graceful Mathematicians For centuries, audiences worldwide have been gathering in grand theatres, watching in awe of dancers and absorbing the art and beauty of their movement. Ballet is the most intricate and in depth form of dancing and has molded into the minds of many people. Ballet dancers are known for their grace and talent, but what most do not know is that Ballet dancers are also quick thinking mathematicians. There are many mathematical aspects of dance, from positions and angles, to concepts such as speed, counts and half timings. The ability of a ballet dancer is not only to dance with their body, but to train with their mind just as a great mathematician would.

November Dance After watching all five segments of the November Dance, I decided to write about the second piece, which was called “Dance Dance Dance”! This was such an interesting piece! At first, when the dancers came out of the curtain onto the stage, I kept thinking “wow, I haven’t seen a presentational dance during our dance 100 class, let alone in a very long time”. I noticed they all had make up on similar to the kind of make up I would wear for my dances or plays when I was in middle school; very dramatic! The costumes accredited to Jess Gersz were extremely flashy, and looked like it could have been worn out on a normal day, and not just this dance.
Also, the hard work involved in gymnastics will be reflected in your school work because it puts a mindset to work to the best of your ability. Competition is a tremendous factor in gymnastics. Each year there are gymnasts around the world training for the Olympics. They develop an aggression toward having the title of a ‘Gymnast’. Whether or not you win, there is still an intense feeling inside that says you’ve achieved enough already.
Pierre Dulaine has been hailed as the “dancer and teacher extraordinaire” by the New York Times. He began an outreach program called “Dancing Classrooms” in the New York public schools and teaches the art of ballroom dancing to approximately 7500 children annually. His vision is to impart pride and self esteem and to inspire them to achieve whatever they put their minds to. He encounters the challenges of motivating kids but has been successful in bringing change to lives that otherwise might not have an opportunity to break out of the oppression of the inner city. His goal is to train to transform.
King Louis XIV even played the lead in all the ballets that his court performed. France was the origin of what is now known as ballet and soon other European countries began their own companies. The nature of work for any dancer is being creative and being able to express words and emotion into body movement. Even though dancers have the one of the highest rates of nonfatal on-the-job injury (United States Department of Labor, USDL), dancers enjoy the thrill of performing in front of an audience. The art of dancing is mostly sought out for entertainment and exercise.
The more you dance, the more you realize what qualities you prefer in a dance instructor. My dance instructors are very good at helping you achieve new dance styles and help you improve with your dance a lot. Improve Your Technique Professional dancers spend their entire careers perfecting their technique. Good technique is what separates the good dancers from the best dancers.

My goal for my freshman year, my twelfth year as a gymnast, was to become a world champion. I worked hard every day at practice and went the extra mile, like stretching and working my body every second I was not in the gym, using tables as balance beams and doing my floor routines in the grass, just to be just that much closer to reaching my goal. The thought of standing highest on the podium in the center of the arena, surrounded by thousands of fans and spectators, overcame my thoughts of complaining every time my coach would say “one more time.” When I closed my eyes, I pictured myself waiting as other competitor’s names were called out, one by one, until finally, the voice announced over the loudspeaker, "...and in first place, your 2009 world champion, from Style Gymnastics, Madaline Schneider." It was the visions like these that drove me to work harder every day. As the season progressed, the gymnastics meets started getting fiercer.
