Now, the kids of Calabasas High are all getting in on it. This video features The Fray's "How to Save A Life" - which is a song I really love... a lot.<br /><br />The dancers in this video include Micaella, Eden, Baden and myself. <br /><br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="400" height="255" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ajbCSxYRz9M" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />Enjoy!<br /><br />-Jennifer.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3690943725464370412-2149830681380226868?l=liedance.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04770896969872077932noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3690943725464370412.post-84823053247426296702011-02-22T11:43:00.000-08:002011-02-22T11:45:23.721-08:00My sister, Meghan, posted this on my Facebook Wall the other day. I finally got around to watching it, and it is one of the most beautiful videos I've seen. I know it's not real dancers, but the movement and the choreography that the animator used is brilliant.<br /><br />And I adore this song... perhaps we may use it soon. ;)<br /><br /><iframe width="480" height="295" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/OBk3ynRbtsw?fs=1" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen=""></iframe><br /><br />-Jennifer.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3690943725464370412-8482305324742629670?l=liedance.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04770896969872077932noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3690943725464370412.post-54794159194453885642011-02-05T14:11:00.000-08:002011-02-05T14:12:36.139-08:00Pretty pretty please... enjoy this video. ;)<br /><br /><iframe width="480" height="295" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/NYmBnbpz-1Q?fs=1" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen=""></iframe><br /><br />-Jennifer<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3690943725464370412-5479415919445388564?l=liedance.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04770896969872077932noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3690943725464370412.post-43555637924338515052011-02-01T11:47:00.000-08:002011-02-01T11:50:58.681-08:00This improv experiment holds a special place in my heart... especially with the way my life is right at this moment.

I adore the way his voice soars over the instrumental track... This is a composition of two videos of myself and two of my advanced Lyrical students (Emily and Amanda) improvising to his wonderful song.<br /><br /><iframe width="480" height="295" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1XDYPvp063I?fs=1" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen=""></iframe><br /><br />Hope you enjoy it. :)<br /><br />-J<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3690943725464370412-5558548534658530362?l=liedance.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04770896969872077932noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3690943725464370412.post-46843625110715742612011-01-26T17:25:00.000-08:002011-01-27T20:03:30.295-08:00This was one of the first days of the experiment.

I teach at a performing arts junior/senior high school in the high desert to pay the bills. While I'm there I encourage my students to use dance as therapy, as I do. Thusly, we've started <span style="font-weight:bold;">the Lyrical Improv Experiment</span>.<br /><br />At least once a week, a few of my advanced students and I get together to have an improv session - where we pick songs that suit the emotions in our lives at that particular moment, and improvise in the lyrical dance style to these songs. <br /><br />Recently, we've been videotaping these experiments so I can show them to my students and we can analyze how to improve their improvisational technique. And I've decided to share them with you, with this blog. :)<br /><br />I hope you enjoy!<br /><br />-Jennifer.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3690943725464370412-7414096923301999197?l=liedance.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04770896969872077932noreply@blogger.com0
