Dance Class
Last week’s dance class was great. Coming into the dance studio, I was eager to find out what kind of dance we were going to learn. When I realized it was a West African dance, I grew both curious and excited. In learning the dance, I learned to feel every movement of my body. I was able to exaggerate my movements and at the same time regiment them. I felt both loose and strong. I was especially fond of the way the dance was taught. By learning the dance in stages, we were able to pick up the dance quickly and efficiently. It also made the process more exciting. In this way, I was able to understand the process of choreography and to see for myself how each piece and each movement connected to produce a final masterpiece. I must say that I felt proud of my peers at the end of the dance session. Not a single person was left out of the dance and I feel confident in saying that we each could individually perform the dance again. All mechanics aside, the experience was truly fun and valuable. I hope to be given the privilege to participate in a similar activity in the future.
