what it takes to dance
BY MELANY PALACIOS
Do you ever wonder how choreographers come up with routines? Well this is how choreographers make up the dance moves. They make it up by using their imagination. Then they hear the song out all the way and then the dance that they had in there imagination they put it together with the song and then they see if it looks good with that part of the music.
Once they feel comfortable with it then they move on to the other part of the music. Then they make up another dance for that apart of the music and then once they like it then they put it all together. Then they do that all over again until they stop were they wanna stop. Then they perform it.
Elizabeth Rivera is a dance teacher at a middle school after school program. She has been dancing since her freshman year in 2013. Elizabeth likes dancing because she likes to dance to the beat and likes to go to competitions and likes to compete.
She comes up with the dance moves by because she said that you need to feel out the music and do an amazing dance move that goes with the beat and dance and dance it out and see if it matches with the sound of the music.
She makes up her dance moves by ‘’feeling’’ the music out and finding whatever feels right with it and once you are done with that you put all your dances together and see if it matches right with the song.
I learned that you have to make up the dances and then see if it goes to the music and then for you to make up the other dance part and then the other move goes to the other part of the music.
Then you put it all together and then you you’ll go to competition and then you will have to repeat the same steps again but choosing a different song and different dance moves that goes with the song/and then you also go to competition and then you do that all over again.

dancing like a boss
BY MELYSSA GALVEZ
Dance has inspired ordinary people to become famous dancers. Dance has also inspired TV shows such as “Dance Moms”, ”Dancing with The Stars” etc. According to FirstPosition, there are some pieces of advice people should take if they want to go far in dancing, such as technique and confidence.
Move your Body to the Beat.
If you do this, you will get better. Maybe you will make up some unique dance moves. It could be as graceful as a “scorpion” or something as simple as a “Dab”.
Sticking to the Basics Will take you Far.
With a twirl, a kick in the air and a scorpion will probably make a viral video. Or something plain like "Whip" or something like that. Hey it did make a Viral Video! Just move your body and that’s it!
Feeling confident is a HUGE step to Dancing.
It’s probably the step that most dancers struggle with (and if it’s not that then it’s stage fright) and not to mention stress too! But if you spot something keep your eyes on it or you could look at the audience and smile so you at least you look like you have confidence. But if that doesn’t work then SPOT. Spot something and look at it till the end, that way you don’t have to look directly at the audience, it just looks like you are looking at them. Also while your spotting, just smile so you look great.
Dance is beautiful. It’s a type of art. These steps to dance are actually really helpful of you follow them correctly. Sooner or later, you will be glad that you follow the advice.

THE MIND OF CHOREOGRAPHERS
BY GENESIS SOTO
Do you ever wonder how choreographers come up with their routines? Here are some ways they might come up with the routine. But before that, I am going to introduce the person I interviewed.
Jazzmin Gomez is a dance instructor. She has been dancing since she was 9 years old. She got inspired to dance by JLO in the movie Selena. Jazzmin was in a dance trop that I am in now, Jazz It Up Studios. She is now the instructor of the studio. And did cheer for 9 years.
I asked her why she likes to dance, she said she can express herself through dance and feels happy to dance and teach dance. Jazzmin also said it is fun to dance. I like dance too, it is fun way to have and let loose. When I dance I forget about all the problems at home and school.
I would have asked Jazzmin how she came up with the dance move but I did not have time, so I will tell you how I think she comes up with the dance routine. When we are learning a new dance routine Jazzmin always looks like she would make it up while we are learning the dance. And sometimes she will have the dance prepared too. She will just show us then she will teach us how to do the dance. After that I would have asked her what is her favorite dance move and I think it is a pirouette.
Those are ways to make a dance routine. But one is not that good of an idea. And it is also fun to dance and have fun. I learned that you can express yourself through dance.

MUSIC HELPS RECALL HAPPY MEMORIES
BY SCARLETTE RAMOS
Have you ever had a bad day and turned to music? Well when Andra Macias was stressted, she turned to music and started singing and dancing her heart out. When people listen to upbeat music they can recall happy memories faster. “My dad introduced me to the music that makes me happy,” said Andra Macias. The music that Andra's dad introduced her to that music that makes her happy is rock and metal. Not only does this music make her happy, it makes her want to dance and sing her heart out. Andra likes anything with real instruments because people take the time to create the music. “Anything part of the woodwind family, like the flute, makes me calm and feeling relaxed,” said Andra Macias. “Music brings me in a good mood because when I feel sad, it makes me feel happy and if it’s good music, I like to dance to it,” said Andra Macias. According to Elite Daily, when people listen to happy music, they can recall happy memories faster. Also, “when people listen to scary or sad and slow paced music, it takes longer to recall any kind of happy memory at all." When people listen to upbeat music, they can recall happy memories faster, like Andra, when she’s stressed, she listens to music and gets happeir faster. I learned in my interview that listening to music that you like that brings you joy will help you recall happy memories. If you listen to sad music, you can’t recall any happy memories. |
