Contemporary Dance

I saw this piece on the dancing competition “So You Think You Can Dance.” While there are many routines on this show that are very emotional, this is one of the few where I actually felt the emotions of the dancers. The choreographer designed this piece especially for his mother who went through surgery and health problems. The dancer also relates to this piece because it is something that he went through in his life. My favorite part in when the female dancers moves her feet on top of the male dancer’s feet at the end. He is taking her weight and her life and moving it through. I think this embodies so many people that try to be there for a loved one when they are going through something hard in their life. I find it beautiful because it hits you even if your mother or any other loved one isn’t going through a hard time.
