Observation 8: Broward College performance

On April 10th, I was able to see a student dance performance at Bailey Concert Hall at Broward College across the street. The performance started at 8 pm. I was glad to be able to observe this performance. There were a total of four pieces, two of which were choreographed by Erin St. John. Another by a professor at BC. However, one was choreographed by a student. Well observing, I could definitely see the difference between professional dancers from college level student dancers. I definitely did see some great talent.
It was mostly a modern dance performance, but there was one ballet piece. The ballet piece was very original and I could see some modern in it as well. The dancers were all very together as they danced. It was very beautiful. On the other hand, the modern pieces that were performed were very intense I felt. A lot of movement was happening on the stage at one time, which always intrigues me. The costumes were subtle and calm, but the movement was not. It was obvious to me that the dancers had work very hard on these pieces and it was wonderful to see. I could also see the potential that was in their bodies. It is just important to continue to work hard and to train the body in the correct ways.
