Why I enrolled in theater dance

Since I was three, I always took some form of dance classes. Then I went to high school and they just didn't fit into my busy schedule anymore. I would take a class here and there and even though I was never the best dancer I always had so much fun. It was a great workout and it helped me to relieve a lot of stress. I always wanted to continue dancing for myself. As an acting major especially I feel that it is very important to know your body and know how to use it. Dance helps me to get into my body and strengthen my core. When I signed up for theater dance at Pace I thought it would be fun to take a dance class. I signed up specifically for theater dance because theater dance is all about acting. Even though all types of dance tell a story, in theater dance especially you have to create a character which helps with acting. I really enjoyed this class and I hope to continue dancing.
