When I entered the auditorium Wednesday night, I thought myself, "I really hope I don't fall asleep. I have such a hard time staying awake for events like these." It is not because they are boring. It is because typically it's late at night, they turn off the lights, the music is terribly soothing, and ZONK! I fall asleep. To my pleasant surprise, not once did I nod off or jerk abruptly! I was slightly worry at the beginning because they were having technical difficulties with the microphone but they managed perfectly fine without a microphone.
The music was riveting and exhilarating! There is no way anyone could fall asleep! The costumes were extremely colorful, intricate, eye catching and appealing. I like how in several of the individual performances they combined music and costumes to create an additional artistic illusion. In a few of the performances, the performers had bells on their shoes. They would stomp their feet and add an extra creative boost and rhythm to the show. The cultural and exquisite clothing, beautiful music, and catchy beats alone caught my attention but then their dancing got me stuck on their every movement.
Every performance was like opening presents Christmas day. Each performance was a pleasant surprise! You look at it just like any other old present but start to get excited as you start unwrapping it!
The general performance was so refreshing. The performance was very eclectic. They had costumes, music, and styles of dance of all sorts. The variety was as broad as ballet to clogging. Not only did they have many beautiful performances, they also included a very entertaining comical show. The gentlemen introduced and escorted their lovely partners in style. The show was a great experience and I would recommend anyone and everyone to go.
I liked your hook into your analysis. Very powerful. I would only advise you to link each of your points to your thesis- that a good dance concert keeps your constant attention.
ReplyDeleteI loved the words that kept me entertained and interested, like "zonk" :) I'm glad that you enjoyed the performance, I did also. I like the way you put your voice into it, the tone was very hyper, happy and fun, it was as if a cute boy had just talked to you ;) Great work.
ReplyDeleteI liked reading this article. The only thing I would think of changing is maybe putting the scooter reference somewhere that isn't the end. It seems to open up a whole new conversation (which the scooter dance does deserve) and I don't know if that's the best placement. Other than that, I approve very much.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone! I really appreciate the both constructive and amusing comments! :)
ReplyDeleteJake, yours was especially entertaining! :)
Skyler, to be honest, I wasn't sure if I should have included the scooter part. I thoroughly enjoyed that part and it did stick out to me but I felt like it's a completely separate topic to discuss. What do you suggest? Moving it towards the beginning, not including it, or maybe an alternative?
