WOW!!! That unexpected fan feature was an INCREDIBLE Impact! Great effect! The fans became an extension of the body in essence. Well choreographed with such excellent weight, space, time and flow both in body movement and with the equipment (the fans)! That fan feature was BIG! As the group came out with some unison movements, the feature progressed, the amount of the ensemble increased. The larger the group becomes, the more variant the fan dance followed suit separating off and giving the eye movement around the stage as different sections presented different movements. By the end of the feature, there was so much beautiful texture around the stage, it delighted the eye, The varying heights and levels provided interest. The overall segment gave us JUST enough. A well enjoyed segment of the dance but when it was over, it left you wanting more. Well executed! BRAVA to the choreographer who injected the fans and that amazing feature of the program! A 1st place WELL deserved!

Something about this seems like it's a bunch of individual dancers. What's that called in dancing? Like they're supposed to be teaming, but it's seems like a lot of them are dancing individually.

[@dariusbrown1083]

What dance team are you on?

I believe the word you're looking for is "Grandstanding."

[@ljcintx]

What happened to dance? There's nothing beautiful about any of this.

[@filtermisinterpretation2128]

Girl pls hush

[@jeremiferrer3369]

Dance is a universal language

[@ra7ph628]

maybe one day when you’ve taken the time to develop any type of dance knowledge you’ll be able to appreciate a set as technically difficult, physically demanding, and creative as this one, but until you do and are able to put together a performance that’s even a microfraction as good as this one, your opinion doesn’t matter and you can fade into obscurity while this team continues to dominate and bring Dallas dance excellence to the forefront of the world stage 😁

[@Blyz728]

There’s different styles of dance buddy, go watch some ballet if that’s what you’re into

[@Skoben2000]

It's disappointing to hear that you didn't find beauty in Athena's performance. While I respect everyone's opinion, I believe there's so much more to appreciate beyond just what meets the eye. The way Athena utilized weight, space, time, and flow in their choreography was truly captivating. Their mastery of these elements created a mesmerizing experience, drawing viewers into their world of movement and expression. Moreover, the contrast between the silver and black costumes and the vibrant red fans added a striking visual element, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the performance. The use of texture and positive and negative space by the smaller groups within the routine added depth and dimension, showcasing the dancers' versatility and skill. Additionally, the strategic placement of dancers on different height levels added dynamic layers to the performance, creating visually stunning moments that commanded attention. While I understand that not every style of dance resonates with everyone, I encourage you to consider the intricacies and nuances of the production as a whole. Dance, like any form of art, is subjective, but it's in these differences of interpretation that we can find the true beauty and diversity of expression. Perhaps upon closer examination, you might discover the magic and artistry that Athena brought to the stage.
