Explanation & Answer

"That's Life" by Frank SinatraStarring: Elaine Kudo and Mikhail BaryshnikovThe dancers, namely: Elaine Kudo and Mikhail Baryshnikov, performed full of style and confidence. Their dance steps have shown to be: an unrequited love. What is good about their performance is—they connect to the song, audience, and most especially to each other. However, a dance with feelings is one factor, to make the crowd stay connected in the whole performance. If Mr. Mikhail Baryshnikov only managed to show some emotions on his face, it would be more engaging for all. Every dance has a story to tell, so dancers should portray the proper message of the song towards the audience. To make the audience more interested, dancers must show an emotion (depends on what kind of dance) while dancing."Brooms" from STOMPThis group is very entertaining and innovative. They create new raw music using their shoes and brooms by stomping them through the wooden floor. Their dance is full of energy—and they have managed to make the audience pleased. But, there are instances that their actions don't coordinate with the sound. A dance, in particular, is a creative medium of communication in which you connect to the audience through your body movements in the rhythm of the music. Dancers must depict dance steps that synchronize with the song."Molly's Not Dead" by PILOBOLUSThese dancers presented an extraordinary dance towards its audience. The dancing choreography is unusual for the eyes of the viewers. In addition to that, the dancers enjoyed dancing their comic dance steps and stunts. They made a connection between their dance partners and the song—which is a good thing. If we take a look at their dance, identifying the story is hard to point out. The performers should feel the song. With passion and skills, dancers can pass the entire message to everyone. Dancing is not just a recreational activity. It takes the body and soul to understand the whole purpose of why a person is dancing. Many people dance to express themselves in the entire world.
