The Dance Within

 

 

Quote found on the Internet 


I am passionate about exploring and appreciating the art of dance in movies. I strive to analyze and critique dance-themed films to showcase their impact on culture and entertainment. I am a straight African - American woman with only interest in straight single men over the age of 30. When I was a student, I worked with different types of people and was introduced to numerous dancers between the years of 1980 - 1996. 


I have had the pleasure of watching these movies on television. Among them include Shall We Dance, The Christmas Dance, Footloose (1984) and The Christmas Ball. Each movie captured the importance of eye contact, rhythm, understanding of dance and innovation. 


Selected skills:


  • Strong analytical and critical thinking skills for evaluating film techniques and themes

  • Strong capability of sharing insights on dance movies

Unity in Motion

    “Unity in Motion emphasizes the importance of inclusivity and collaboration within the arts community, promoting a sense of togetherness. During my time at various art institutions, I encountered instances of racism and discrimination. These experiences were disheartening and highlighted the challenges faced within the visual art and dance community. Additionally, I faced issues with timely payment from several organizations, which further complicated my professional engagements. Despite my commitment to providing high-quality services, there were instances where payments were delayed or not received at all and raised concerns about the professionalism of the organizations involved. It is important to note that throughout my interactions with these companies, I did not render any services since I was last hired. The combination of discriminatory experiences, financial inconsistencies, and a lack of engagement from certain organizations highlights the importance for improve...

Importance of being honest

Quote found on the Internet “Honesty serves as a cornerstone of trust in any relationship, whether personal or professional. When individuals choose to be truthful, they foster an environment where open communication can thrive. This transparency not only strengthens bonds but also encourages others to reciprocate with their own honesty. In a world where deception can often lead to misunderstandings and conflict, embracing honesty can pave the way for deeper connections and a more harmonious existence. The act of being honest is not merely about refraining from lying; it encompasses a broader commitment to integrity and authenticity. When people express their true thoughts and feelings, they allow others to see them for who they genuinely are. This vulnerability can be daunting, yet it is essential for building meaningful relationships. Moreover, honesty cultivates a sense of accountability, as individuals become more aware of their actions and their impact on others, leading to perso...
