It was about an hour bus ride and I arrived a bit earlier than expected, so I went to a coffee shop to get something warm to drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Afterwards, I walked to the theater and met up with the rest of the class. I was surprised our seats were right in the front. I honestly feel like it added to the experience though because we could hear the stomps of the dancers up close. The dance recital began around 2:05 p.m., and the first act was called &#8216;Confetti,&#8217; I believe. I really liked this act; it was very cute, and it reminded me of the seasons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the second act, I did not like it at all. I am more into more lyrical dances, and this one, to me, was weird. I didn&#8217;t really understand what was being portrayed either. I only understood that they were in a boxing rink, but that&#8217;s really it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the third act, this was my favorite. It was very mystical, and I loved both of the dancers; they&#8217;re both incredibly talented! Especially when the guy held her with one arm, it was insane. In general, I just really liked the combination of the music and the dance. I felt like there was much more meaning behind it; it reminded me of a love story in some way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the fourth act, this was my favorite as well. It reminded me of the event theme &#8216;Arabian Nights&#8217;, like the music. Also, I liked how it was a group; it added a lot of dimension to the act. I thought it was so cool how everyone was in sync with each other as well. I think the lighting for this act, as well as the third, really added to the dance as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In all, I really enjoyed this trip! This was the first dance recital that I&#8217;ve been to, and I loved it! I would definitely like to attend another recital if one is scheduled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On my way to the Joyce Theater, I took the SIM33c to avoid the weather.
