I absolutely loved the dance showcase. As a former dancer, I know the need for more support in the arts. Most people see those forms of dance as boring or irrelevant. However, I'm sure anyone in attendance at the dance showcase could see how that's wrong. The dancers really painted stories of deep intellectual concepts conceived by the choreographers. The showcase as a whole was much bigger than dance.
My favorite performance had to be the second act, the piece on self-discovery and finding your pwn path in life. The performers moved in unison at some points and went off randomly in others. To me, this symbolized how in life people will try to do what others are doing. Then, they realize that they are meant to something else, so they stop following the crowd. I was also very moved by the domestic violence piece. These are topics that need more attention, and dance is a more creative way to get people to talk about them.
The student choreographers did a great job in pulling the show together. Even though they all focused on an array of concepts, the showcase seemed to all flow as one idea. It was inspiring to hear how they took time, energy, and effort as students to commit to this and schoolwork. I'm very eager to see the next performance in the dance department.
