Some Dances I Learned

Amber Huang

     I have learned to dance for ten years. So I knew many types of dances. Every dance gives me feel different feelings-- powerfulness, gracefulness and so on. I know very well about ballet, modern dance and Hip-Pop.

     Ballet is the most graceful dance for me. Ballet can be classified into modern ballet, classical ballet and so on. At first, I felt it was very interesting. I was wrong. It was hard to practice and I needed to spend a lot of time training my muscle. Although it took long time to practice, I still felt it was the most graceful dance! I remembered I was often scolded by my teacher. They said my training method was wrong but I ignored it. Finally, I found my teacher was right. Now, I try to change my training method on my muscles.

     Modern dance gives me a different feeling. Modern dance also can be classified into five types according to the techniques-- Graham Technique, Humphrey Technique, Limon Technique, Horton Technique and Release Technique. All of the techniques deliver many feelings to me, like powerfulness, sadness, tenderness and so on. I usually thought modern dance was easy to learn. My dance teacher often let me imagine different things at every movement. I felt this was the hardest part because some things were so abstract that I could not imagine them. Although it was hard, modern dance could let me have different feelings every time. I remember I couldn’t express the emotion when I danced modern dance. So, I was usually asked to use other ways to express it. I couldn’t express it until the day I performed it.

     I began to learn Hip-Pop late, but this was the most interesting dance for me. I learned some different types of Hip-Pop, like New Jazz, Locking, Breaking and so on. They could let me relax every time. Its tempo is so strong that it can increase my groove. Every time I dance Hip-Pop it can let me relax. I feel it is the sexiest dance for me. Although it is easier than other dances, it also has some basic movements to practice. At first, my movements were not correct at all; I still practiced them. Now, my friends say my movements are powerful and sexy. This is a valuable thing to me.

     I have learned these dances for a long time. They give me different feelings. I keep these feelings in my heart. If I have free time, I will practice more to relax myself.
