Dance!

                          Recently, I've been into dance a lot. I guess because am taking dance, I wanted to learn more about it. There are many types of dances. One type is Modern Dance it started in the 1920's. The well known dancers that began this were Isadora Duncan and Ruth St. Denis. This was a beginning of something new before people used to dance ballet but then people got bored and wanted a dance to be able to explain there mood and what they were feeling. They used their bodies to show what they felt like to show their happiness, passion, fear or sadness. In modern dance dancers get to be more creative and were different clothes than you would wear in ballet.

                                          
                             Ballet is a formalized, structured performance dance. It originated from the Italian renaissance in the 15th century. This is a very common dance any most children at a young age join ballet dancing. Ballet is usually danced to classical music. One thing I especially like about ballet is pointe. I find it so amazing when the dancers stand on there toes. That is a hard thing to achieve and it takes a lot of practice and first you must take ballet then you would be able to pointe. You must have a lot of practice because if you try to do it without practice you can really get hurt.

                        Jazz Dance is used mainly in commercials,television shows, movies, music videos. It has many high jumps, quick turns, unique moves, a lot of movement and moving a lot of feet. Jazz dance it used to express the person itself and show their personality. In this dance you show a lot of energy and have fun with the dance. One of the persons to create many moves in jazz dance is Jack cole. It has many leaps and music that is fun and energetic. In this type of dance you would wear tight clothes to show of your movements.

Existentialism

                                    Existentialism is when you believe you have no reason in life that humans have no meaning. That you only live life when you find that purpose in your life to live. When you live every minute to the fullest and live your life like if your going to die. Existentialists also believe there is no god that you make your own decisions. You are responsible for your actions and you are to blame for what happens to you. Also when you understand that some things have no answer. Just because there is no purpose in life shouldn't mean you should live life without purpose. That there is no predetermined nature and that you are free to act independently.

                                The movie "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind" is a existentialist movie because it goes with what existentialism is about.  One of the quotes I like that is very existentialist is when one of  the main characters  Clementine Kruczynski says "Im always anxious thinking I'm not living my life to the fullest, you know? Taking advantage of every possibility? Just making sure that I'm not wasting one second of the little time I have". This is how existentialist think that there going to die anyway so they have to at least find a purpose in living. Like Clementine in the movie enjoys her life and does things without the fear of death like when she went to the frozen river. She also says" I'm not a concept. Too many guys think I'm a concept or I complete them or I'm going to make them alive, but I'm just a fucked up girl who is looking for my own peace of mind". Many people try to find meaning through someone else but in reality everyone is alone and you have to find a purpose in life. In the movie the main character Joel notices that he messed up and wants to just erase Clementine from his memory but in the end he realizes he is responsible and that you can't fix things because you choose what you wanted to do like he chose to talk to Clementine and decided to be with her.
