DANCE, DANCE

This little post is dedicated to dancing and the many different kinds there are to choose from. You have: modern, jazz, hip-hop, contemporary, lyrical, Latin (cha-cha, rumba, etc.) , standard (waltz, fox trot, etc.), Irish, folk dancing and many others. Every culture has a way of dancing. They express their beliefs through the music and dancing. When you choreograph a dance, your listen to the song you have picked and then put together the dance moves that you feel would fit the music and the dancers the best.
Passion is a huge part of dancing. In one week of So You Think You Can Dance, each contestant was given a emotion that had to do with the world (such as peace, love, etc.) Then they were all taught the same dance. After they were taught the dance, each contestant took the emotion they were given and put it in that dance. The outcome of this challenge was amazing. And it all became that way through passion and the understanding of what the emotion was.

You're a better dancer than the other kids in your Scream production.

If you make up a dance for Mally for Christmas, in exchange, you should make her do her fire wiggle that we have on camera.
