DANCE ARTS



The art of dance is one of the most beautiful arts that there are in all over the world, dance can be defined as a sequence of rhythmic steps or movements performed to music, for pleasure or as a form of social interaction.
Here we have some of the kinds of dance that exist.


Folk dance refers to dances developed by groups or communities, as opposed to being made up by a choreographer.


Latin dance is a fast-paced, often sensual, partner dance characterized by sexy hip movements.

Modern dance is a dance style that rejects many of the strict rules of classical ballet, focusing instead on the expression of inner feelings.


Swing dance is a lively dance style in which couples swing, spin and jump together.


Ballet Lithe, flexible, graceful, elegant, poised---if you’re not all of those then it’s time to say farewell to your tutu. In ballet, each movement is an expression of a specific emotion so it must be executed precisely and without flaw.

WRITTING A BOOK REPORT


The title of the story is Eleven by Sandra Cisneros.


The main characters are: Rachel, an eleven year old girl. Mrs. Price, her teacher. Other children in Rachel`s class, including Sylvia Saldivar and Phyllis Lopez.


The character that I found most intersting was Rachel, because she Knew that the teacher was wrong, but she couldn`t assert herself. she thought that it was going to be hard to change the teachers mind so she decided to respect the teachers decision, although Mrs. Price was wrong.


Te central problem of the story begings when, on Rachel`s eleven birthday, Mrs. Price asks the class who owns an ugly, old sweater. When Sylvia says it belongs to Rachel, Mrs Price believes Sylvia and insists that Rachel put it on. Rachel becomes embarrassed and begings to cry. After a while, Phyllis remembers that it`s really her sweater. Rachel returns the sweater to Phyllis, but Mrs. Price doesn`t acknowledge her mistake or apologize to Rachel, whose birthday has been ruined by the incident.


Well, I enjoy the story because that could happen to anyone, specially to those who are working under a person in a position of authority, so I recommend this book because it show you a very important lesson.

TUNING OUT THE TV



It´s true that nowadays talevision is becoming more a need than a luxury for people.

In my case television was almost everything for me, because you can always find something intersting to watch in it: like movies, sports, news, etc...
Also there are things that goes around television, for instance my friends and I usually talk about tv programs.
I have to say that television right now "doesn´t exist for me anymore" because I don´t have the enough time to watch it, due to school and that thanks to god I finally found a job jajaja so now I have the experience of living without tv. I have to tell you that at the very begining was kind of hard to be without it, because wheter or not you miss your favorite programs, tv series and so on, but now I realize that television is not everething that there is a whole world outside to explore so now whenever I have some free time I try to do something fun, look for new hobbies, places, friends instead of being trapped in my little tv world.
