In Stairway to Paradise, there were one female and eight male dancers. The male dancers wore uniform suit-like costumes consisting of a white shirt, silver vest, and black pants. The female dancer wore a figure skater-esque rhinestoned black leotard with short flowing black skirt and heeled shoes. The costumes gave a very theatrical look. The dancers did not utilize any props. The expression overall was theatrical, as expected by the choreographer’s background and as supported by all the elements of the performance. The music was the song “I’ll Build A Stairway to Paradise”, which set the showbiz theme. The use of recorded applause sounds reaffirmed the showbiz theme. It starts the performance and is used several times during the performance as well. A steady rhythm in standard time (meaning four beats per measure, and a beat has the value/length of a quarter note) allowed the dancers to work with a basic eight-count routine. The dancers conveyed a story of woman who was desired by other men. She gives each man a chance and they try for her heart but in the end she does not choose any of them. This performance was a structured jazz routine. The movement was very uniform, practiced, and precise. The dancers did use the entire stage but they used the center of the stage the most. The female dancer was the main dancer. Her flexibility, strength, and skill were highlighted in some impressive moves, such as when the men lifted her as she performed a split. The male dancers also used their entire bodies to dance. They, however, were not focused on as much as the female dancer and did not have any extreme moves. It was amazing to see the dancers portray the image of a staircase. The dancers made it look as though the female dancer was walking up a staircase as one male dancer passed her to the next and moved her. She walked from hand to hand, gaining as she moved from the stage floor to being lifted higher and higher. The precision and strength of the dancers were clear as the female dancer held herself straight as if it were effortless and the male dancers held her steady.
