i have learned to love the art of dance for what it is! dancing is supposed to be fun and the quote said it best, "life is too short to spend it at war with yourself." i was done constantly comparing myself. it was getting boring.

everywhere i've been i take what i learned and develop it further. what i learned about my body movement from my previous studio, i took with me and explored what I could do further at elon.

growing up, technique in all forms was drilled into my brain. the way my contemporary technique has changed since then is that sometimes letting go of what you thought you knew makes it more creatively interesting.

1. i learned how the anatomical view of the body can influence the way we move our bodies creatively. Understanding the structure of a bone or muscle region can persuade us to think differently about how we move these body parts and what the intention is.

2. i learned the importance of experimentation. i appreciated our "lab" periods and across the floor movements we would do. it allowed for mistakes, creative freedom, and to be taught new ways of moving. it was refreshing to have this section of class to play!

3. i learned the power intention has to movement. thinking about the movement prompts enhances the texture of the dancer's movement. i felt it within myself and watching my peers. it was fascinating to play around with these ideas.

if i were to suggest one thing to change about the class, it would be to spend less time on floor in our warm up. sometimes my energy level is already low before walking into class and if i spend too much time on the floor, i get comfortable and more tired.
