Dance Show

I went to the St Mary's Dance Club's Dance Show a few weeks ago. It was actually for the most part really well done even though it did seem to go on for longer then necessary. It was amazing how well some of the dances were choreographed, especially when knowing that they had each been choreographed by a fellow student. Of course some were better then others and there were a few in between that were just down right bad, but those tended to get outweighed by the large quantity of really good dances. I'll have to say that my favorite dances were the more cultural ones such as the belly-dancing and the salsa dancing. I think the belly-dancing could have been slightly more interesting, but the costumes were very colorful and pretty. The one main complaint I had about the dance show was that it was really long, and that would generally be fine and all, but they would have to incorporate a bigger range of dances. It got to a point that while the music was different and the choreography was tailored to match the song, the basic style was still the same, and this went on for about 6 or 7 dances. So personally I think they should have gone back and maybe picked out two or three of the best ones and just cut down on time or incorporated a few more different dances, but I guess they probably just wanted to give everyone a chance to participate and create their own dances.
