African dance

Tomorrow in dance our new unit in dance starts, African dance. I remember in 6th grade when I was in dance and we had to do this unit. African dance has lots of rhythm and involves jumps and spins. I wonder how hard the dances will be since we are doing this unit for a longer period of time. I hope this unit will be performed at the dance show at the end of the year.

Winter Arts Festival

The Winter Arts Festival was a HUGE success! While we were dancing you felt the emotion and power of the dance. To me we had the best performance of the night. I'm not a fan of the song but the actual dance itself was still amazing. All in all, the Winter Arts Festival was a success and I can't wait to do another performance for the school.

Alvin Ailey

We are learning about one of the greatest choreographers ever in dance class, Alvin Ailey. He choreographed a dance called Revaluations. The part that we are learning about in class is called wade in the water. It is about how a river in the southern part of the United States help African-Americans. I think it is a deep dance that I enjoy learning.

African scream dance

I thought that the scream dance was very fun and that it should be added to the winter arts festival. I think it would be nice to add on to the winter arts festival dance and make it longer with a different song. I don't really like Ed Sheeran's  I See Fire for the whole dance maybe just a part. I also think that if we add the African scream dance we should dance to it with partners. Partners are a really big help to learning the dance.

Dance for winter arts festival

I am happy that we added on to our dance for the winter arts festival. Before I thought it was going boring and bland but now there's multiple parts with different partners. I think it is good that we are working with partners because we get to know different people. I also like that the dances in the winter arts festival are completely different and involve different partners. I think that dance for the winter arts festival is going to be cool because it involves all the dance classes from 7th and 8th grade. This is going to be the best winter arts festival dance yet!!!!!

Winter arts festival dance

                   
                              I'm very excited for our winter arts festival dance. We are dancing to "I See Fire" by Ed Sheeran. It is a very long dance and I really hope I don't mess up any parts. It helps a lot that we practice everyday in dance class. Hopefully I can find a partner to dance next to me in the winter arts festival. This partner can also help me out with memorizing the dance in time.
