Interview




           When I was at dance yesterday I asked my Choreographer/ Dance teacher questions to help you realize how fun it would be to be a dance teacher. My dance teachers name is Alania Bridges, she is such a great teacher. She can be a friend to you also. Having a reliable dance studio is something I love having. To share some of her experiences with you I asked a few questions. If wanting to know more comment your questions and I will comment back. 







Who do you like to teach the most and why?

I like to teach my senior class the most. I’ve had the girls for many years so we all are friends and can joke around while I’m teaching. Its fun to teach the girl because they are so talented they get the new move only after a few tries. I enjoy watching them grow into beautiful dancers.



What are some of your favorite competitions and what do you like best about them? 

I like showstoppers the best they are organized and conduct business in a professional manner. Plus the trophies are nice. I’d have to say my next favorite is star talent my girls rock that competition every time we are there. One of my girls had won a trip to Los Angeles there.



If you had to give advice to a person who wanted to be in dance but was to scared what would you tell them? 

 I would say just give it a try never run or hide from the things you are scared of. Don’t miss out on an opportunity to learn anything new. 




What got you started in teaching dance? 

 I was thirteen and got the chance to be an assistant at my studio. I enjoyed working with the younger children. When I was fifteen a lady saw me at a talent show and called me wondering if I wanted a job teaching at her studio. I accepted the job and now own that studio.



How long did it take you to realize you wanted to be a dance teacher?


The first week of dance when I was five I came home. I told my mom I wanted to be a dance teacher like Mrs. Crystal. I guess I knew that dance was just meant for me.



Do you like working with kids and why? 

I do like working with children it brings joy to my life. Watching children grow and become dancers is rewarding.

How to choose dance studio?

Dance studio is a place where you go to get taught your dances. That is not the only thing; it actually is like a second home to you. You have friends there that act like your family. The girls and boys at the studio are always there for you no matter what. Two or three teacher's will be teaching you, but they will be teaching you different dances. Learning new dances will always help you with your technique. According to dictionary.reference.com the definition of "technique is a skill or ability in a particular field.”
Kids at age three can also dance. If you are looking for a dance studio that suits you, always look for good qualities. Look for a studio that has other kids your kids same age. That way whenever they do start dance they will be able to have a friend to motivate them. It is good to meet new people in a dance studio too. You can meet people that go to your same school and you never noticed them before. Parents and kids should also look for a studio that understands your schedule. Parents should go to one of the other classes to watch different students. See if the students are what you want your child to look like.
A Dance studio is not a joke, it is somewhere to work and meet new people. You should be able to experience new things and learn new steps. If you believe your daughter or son is not learning anything at the studio they are in now. You should definitely look around for a different studio to see if you want your kids going to a different studio. Kids are not the only people who dance. Parents learns dances also. If parents want to learn a dance they should go to a teacher that will be able to help them and go their pace. Anyone can dance, and you can learn from any director. If you want to see some really good dancers check out the videos below.

Introduction


Dance is moving rhythmically to music, typically following a set sequence of steps. There are many types of dances: hip hop, ballet, modern, clogging and tap. Dancers have a lot of ways to express their selves.

Dance is not a joke to most people; it is really serious. Some people just dance for fun like jump around and spin. Many people do not understand why people love dance. 

I wanted to do my blog on dance because it is my passion. Dance is something important to me. I do competitions, go on cruises and go out of town just to compete my dances. It is a joy to actually see the looks on my parents’ faces when I’m up there on stage. My parents are so proud after they see me do my performance. 

Performances get judged they have different scores. During my blog you will learn everything new about dancing. You will understand the different kinds of dancing and what kind of music they usually do the dance to. Many people do not understand dancing. So I want to teach others about dancing and what it is about. 


Television shows are going to be presented on my blog in order to show people what kind of dancing there are. I will update competitions that I go to and explain to everyone what the trophies stand for. List awards which is the highest and which is lowest you can get.


  Choreography is the steps with the music that the teachers make up. I want to find some famous choreographers and dig for some information to show you how they got into dance. 


There are conventions that bring people like Tyce Diorio, Robert Hoffman, Desmond Richardson, Dave Scott, and Cris Judd. These people will teach students a dance in an hour. The dancers will compete for a scholarship. The instructors already have prodigies. Prodigies are dancers that have went on tour with the instructors the whole year. They learned every dance they made up. Other kids follow the convention on tour to get a scholarship and show others there style. I hope others will be inspired by my blog and want to have an amazing experience in dance.
