where´s Archie?

[LiveDreamLoveDance]

Good choreography, but the moves seemed stiff to them. Props can sometimes hold dancers back rather than add to the piece.

It's so sad but so good!!

[jellyfishxDD143]

I don't get it. What was the story being told in this dance piece?

[AyyItsHalee8o8]

@jellyfishxDD143 here is the story: the girls were best friends when one of them died (meri). The one living (cassidy) cannot accept that Meri is gone. The memory of her is so strong that she comes back alive in Cassidy's eyes. Meri tries to make her see that life will go on and that she is stronger than she believes. Cassidy finally accepts it and Meri is layed back to rest. That's basically it.

@AyyItsHalee8o8 Oh ok. Thankyou. It is an amazing dance piece. Good job!

@AyyItsHalee8o8 what do the flowers represent? like why does she give her back the pink one when she brought the black one?

[AyyItsHalee8o8]

@18xxmee i think its really just supposed to represent how the friendship will always be alive no matter what. Like she throws the black flower down at the end saying 'i'm not going back to how I was,' and the pink flower is just kind of like saying 'you're still alive in my heart.'

For me it was a little slow. Not much elevation. At all.

[starberriezz]

o sucking them in to make you look skinny ?

[starberriezz]

Thank you you brightened my day !!! I enjoyed it ! I use to ballet when I was little and the teachers were strict ..... They were posing us and I was like right there doing my pose and my legs got all wobbly from doing that pose for like ten minutes and then I fell and tortured me by hitting my legs with a stick to get them to be less wobbly and soft ???? It was a bad experience but I think yours is so good it burns ??? O.O LOLS no I'm kidding it was very very very very ...... Elegant and so so

[MrCannibalisticBunny]

@starberriezz lol, my ballet teacher smacks our stomachs to make sure we are sucking them in. One of my other teachers made all of the students force their turnouts WAY TOO FAR (which is really bad!) She told us that her teacher used to do some pretty horrid stuff to "help them dance"... ahhh, the joys of ballet :)

[Ardenis9]

Im not exatcly familiar with this kind of dance( I do latin), but I loved it... Sometimes I felt that it lacks fluidity (at some places) but I really cannot say if it was a part of the choreography or the result of you being kinda young:)

Some of the moves were beautiful and the whole experience was! Well done!

[smfluvsjmf]
