My opinion about the song is that it’s very jazzy. You can really here the jazz tones in it. The song is very classical and sounds like something they might have played at an old time gathering or party you know very upbeat. You can hear the trumpets and the trombone and all the other jazz like instaments in this piece. And that is what I think about this song.
ReplyDeleteIf we were to learn a dance it would probably be something like the salsa because I think it would be fun to learn the salsa and because I already know some of the salsa so it would be something simple and fun to do. I like the salsa because I love to music we have to dance and because it’s just so up lifting and fun.
ReplyDeleteIf we could pick a dance that we all wanted to learn it would probably be the box step like we was learning the other day becasue it was fun. Also it was like super funny.... Well i would pick the box step because it is not that hard. Also it wouldn't be that hard because when we was learning it in one of the classes it wasn't that hard to do.....
ReplyDeletethe type of dance step i wpuld like to learn is the grand canyon i have done it before but i did it like one year ago.but i would like to re-learn cause its fun.and i wanna know if some people know what it is.i would like to learn the salsa cause i wanna see that shimmy of nekos again and cause it sounds like a good dance step
ReplyDeletei think that i would like to learn salsa or walst because those seam to be the on that every person knows how to dance and i would just want to learn what ever your going to teach us because i don't know much thats why your the teacher and i'm the student but i would like it to be recorded because nico's shimmy was so funny and it was perfect.
ReplyDeleteI want to learn how to break for the modern songs. I already started how to learn dance so I kind of have the idea of what to do so. I would have pretty easy but if you guys don't want to then we don't have to do it. Tyanna we are not doing the shimmey cuz I'm advance lolz just joking I just seen someone do it on tv. I like to dance its very fun cause it makes me look all cool. I just want to breakdance so don't judge me okay?
ReplyDeletei would like to learn how to brake dance because its cool how they move there body in a ways left to right and down to the floor and does a head spin or a they do the flair. there foot moves so fast in a way like the song walk it out. i also want to learn brake dance because if you brake dance some1 people get to be on tv to show people there moves so thats is why i would like to learn brake dancing.
ReplyDeleteI don't like dancing in the first place but if people pay me one dollar per movement I will do it. And by the way GABBY33, THAT WAS NOT FUN IT WAS THE MOST F%$*#!ING DA%^&#ED CLASS IN MY LIFE.
ReplyDeleteDancing is good for people who like to openly express themselves in public but I express myself silently, I like music though.
The dance that i would like to learn is the salsa. I would like to learn it because I have never done it before and it looks like fun. I do not really know any dances besides the box step which was way to easy and I would like to have more of a challenge. I would also wanna learn the waltz which seems like it would be fun.
ReplyDeleteIf I could learn any dance I would like to learn brakdancing. I would like to learn brakdancing because I have watched movies that have brakdancing in it and they can do flips and insane moves and I would like to be able to do flip and personalize some crazy trick. I do know it would be but I would still like to try it. To me brakdancing is a great way to express feelings openly in a cool way. Plus slow dancing is @#$!&%* boring.
ReplyDeleteI would like to dance the modern dance because throughout history, people have danced for many different reasons: to tell stories, to celebrate social occasions, and to entertain. The practice of “dance performance” as an art form is relatively new. Medieval spectacles gave rise to dancing in royal courts and this led, eventually, to the development of ballet. Early 20th Century artists believed dance should break free from ballet’s stringent rules; thus, the development of modern dance
ReplyDeleteI would not care what kind of dancing we do. I am not really into dancing, but if we have to, then I would like to learn a lot of types of dancing, because it would be very, very boring to learn one or two kinds of dances for the rest of the entire school year. But honestly, I would rather do no dancing at all. I'm not good at it and I think its boring. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteIf I were to do a dance other than the box step, I would like to do the Salsa and The Cha-Cha Dance. First of all, the reason why I would like to do the Salsa is because there are many movements, and it is also fast. And to me, it seems easy. The reason why I would like to learn the Cha-Cha dance is because it looks really simple to me. For the Cha-Cha, you go back and forth back and forth. I think it's easy enough for me.
