The three titles that I looked at were “Conditioning for Dance “,” Music Fundamentals for Dance” and “Dance Composition Basics” which are all things we need as High School dancers.

1.Conditioning for dance is a book that all high school dancers need because they must know how to take care of there body and how to maintain also. This because high school students do not have access to everything that they need to keep up with their body. So therefore, they need to be able to do it at home without being asked. All the chapter in the book are very important for our dance career in high school. The chapter’s I choose were chapter 1 “Conditioning concepts for body and mind.” Chapter 7 “Conditioning the Muscles of the Pelvis, Hip joints and Knee. Chapter 10 “Improve turns, jumps, and turnout.

2. The second book I choose was “Music Fundamental for Dance “as were told musicality is a big key in dance. We have t know the music we are working with or moving to for the choreographer work to be really shown. The chapter’s I choose is Chapter 1 “Basic Concepts of Music Notation”. Chapter 2 “Elements of music time “and Chapter 3 Elements of Melody.

3.The third dance book is “Dance Composition Basics” Dancing also needs for you to understand the writing parts. Every dancer would rather be a smart dancer then a not so smart dancer which is where dance composition. Just like any other skill before your able to do it theirs a boring art which is sitting

and writing about nothing but dance. The chapters that interested me is Chapter 1 “Exploring the ways we move “. Chapter 4 “Energy: Force Generating Movement and Chapter 5 Choreographic Devices: Creating Finished Compositions

Dance Video Analysis .

# data[].attributes.body
This part is my favorite because even though she was in bed she made each movement precise as i caught here . Everything was still sharp and it made me want to watch more . 4 steps I noticed that we use in dance class is a Battement , An attitude, Second grande plié , and Passé position .

# data[].attributes.body
1. This was abstract and narrative it was very interesting to watch . I would have suggested her to add more color or more camera backgrounds since it was so abstract .
2. This dance / musicality relates to dance history because of the use of scatting . There was a time when dancers use to choreograph prices  to just scatting alone and that is what this relates too
3. The first thing that I learned is that dance does not always have to be to a song that has words or a normal beat . Another thing is that Simply just movement is dance no matter what or how complex it is . A motif I realized is a lot of vibrations on the loud sounds .
4.The dance ‘Ella’ was performed by Jessica Amber Pickett. She is an Alvin Ailey professional dancer . She shows a ton of abstract movement while also telling a story (narrative ) in this dance while also just being in her home . She did regular things around her house a normal person would do and turned it into dance.

3 books that interest me: dancer wellness, choreographing from within, and safe dance practice
3 chapters that interest me(dancer wellness)
chapter 1- The dance environment
chapter 9- injury prevention
chapter 11- your dancer wellness plan
notes: When dancing, you want to make sure that you're in the correct positions so that you won't injure yourself. Stress can also strike while dancing and the body can go on a high alert. Cortisol stress can happen during stressful situations. A stressful situation could be not picking up the choreography well.

3 books that interest me:
Dance improvisations, Lesson plans for creative dance, Conditioning for dance
3 chapters that interest me from each book:
Chapter 1. Introduction to improvisation
Chapter 5. Dances with poetry
Chapter 20. Improving turns, jumps, and turnout
Notes: Improvisation is something you come up with off the top of your head. You don’t have to think just do because it’s whatever that comes to you. Dances with poetry tell a story on what you are doing. Improving techniques helps you get better and show off what you can do.
Dancers should read these books because it’s very helpful. Also it show you how to work on things and how to dance with poetry. Me personally I need to work on all of these because I’m not at my best and I feel like if other dancers feel the same they should read these books. It’s also a great way to learn about these. In conclusion this is why dancers should read these books and chapters.

1. This performance was a narrative performance, and I truly enjoyed it. The artistic ideas I would share was if she would show more enthusiasm.
2. The musicality relates towards the 1930s era, which was very populated with the music genre of "Scat" , that was very upbeat.
3. Two things that I learned about dance while watching was that her movements were very repetitive as like an AB Rondo form.
4. The dance "Ella" by Robert Battle, is a very up-tempo dance that keeps the audience captivated. My favorite part of the dance was when she was in her doorway(as you see below), it gave so much life in the movement however there was a lot of sustained movements that caused suspicion to what was next.

~Notes ~
+Hip Hop Dance was developed in in the unites states in the 1970s. Since the development hip hop has grown global and has made a drastic change in exploring the culture of dance. Hip hop has a different understanding of style made by the cultural art. Most say its difficult but to learn about the forms of genre taught. Some Hip hop dance is a comprehensive resource providing beginning dance, dance majors,minors, and or general education
+ Dance Anatomy experiences they row energy and aesthetic beauty of dance. Each terms used to explain dance comes with a way of showing through image hoe dance should be performed. Regardless of the ability level or dance style, dance anatomy will help you master the improvastion of movement.
