How Can They Do That? By Jennifer Andrews

Last night was the first time I saw the group Pilobolus perform. And what a performance it was! I would like to can tell you that I fully understood the performance, but I can’t. I can to say, however, that the experience was completely wonderful.

Pilobolus is a very unusual group. Their performers have no background in dance. When they began, they though, “Maybe we can’t dancing, so why try?” So they just made interesting shapes with their bodies. Well, this group certainly cans dance, and they are able to do much more. The six dancers in the group are athletic, artistic, and very talented. They are able do amazing things with their bodies. In many dances, they move together as a single unit.

My theater companion and I had great seats. We could saw the entire stage (not always true in some theaters). The sound system, though, had a few problems, and we didn’t able to hear the music clearly all the time.

Some people in the audience asked: “Is it dance or is it gymnastics?” You can decide for yourself. Many people weren’t able to got tickets for the first two performances of this series, but you can still buy tickets for next week.

This is the type of performance everyone can enjoy.

Highly recommended.

Converstion

For a long time, Jim and Marie couldn’t agree on a family sport. Jim loves tennis, and Marie takes lessons, but she still can play. Marie ca swim, but Jim hates the water. They recently took up dancing. Now, they recently took up dancing. Now they could do swing and spend time together.

Stefan has made a lot of progress in English. Last semester he couldn’t order a meal in a restaurant or talk on the telephone. His friends helped him do everything. Now he can speak English in a lot of situations.

Bill almost can’t make his class presentation last semester because he was so nervous. He could communicate well in small groups, but not in big ones. He plans to take a course in public speaking. I’m sure he can improve quickly.

Last year I can’t dance at all, but when I met Stan, I signed up for class right away. He could really dance, and I wanted to dance with him. Now I can do the basic steps. I can’t do the waltz yet, but we’re planning to waltz at our wedding next month.
