Dance

The reasons I want to attend Oklahoma Summer Arts Institute are the fact of dancing for two weeks straight. The chance to be able to express myself in my dancing compels me to audition for this institute. My three favorite artists, Maria Tallchief, Anna Pavlova, and Leonide Massine inspire me to dance as best that I can to hopefully end up like they did. Maria Tallchief made her debut in 1942 with the performance in corps …

…the first Russian star to dance in other European countries. What caught my attention was her grace unconditional grace that she had even when dancing extremely difficult pieces. Lastly, I delight in Leonide Massine’s wonderful characteristics when he dances. His production of Gaite Parisienne, in which he danced and staged, was a majestic performance. In addition to the inspiration of these fine dancers, I wish to attend the Oklahoma Summer Arts Institute this summer.
