Einstein's 'Impossible' Experiment Finally Performed- Review Day 4

The Hubble Telescope has done the "Impossible". Hubble has viewed "a dead star about 18 light-years away warping the light of a more distant star that appeared to pass behind it" which Einstein had predicted would happen but said it would never be able to be seen. Hubble made it possible for astronomers "to read clues carried in the curved starlight and discern the mass of the dead star, called Stein 2051B." I find this extremely fascinating that we have made such advanced technology that is able to basically prove Einstein wrong. The fact that anyone could do that is just amazing; being able to prove a genius wrong seems to be an impossible task all on its own.

Ballet Dancer Leaps Onto Subway Tracks and Lifts Man to Safety- Review Day 1

 Ever heard of a Ballet dancer rescuing someone? Not normally right? Well, Mr. Grey Davis, a Ballet dancer with the American Ballet Theater, did just that. On Saturday night, a 58 year-old homeless man was pushed onto to subway tracks at the 72nd Street Subway Station by a 24 year-old girl. When Mr. Davis, his wife, and his mother were leaving the Metropolitan Opera House after watching his wife perform (who is also a ballet dancer), the incident unfolded. Mr. Davis was originally waiting for someone else to help, but when he saw that no one was going to he jumped down and lifted the 58 year-old, who is unconscious, off the tracks and others helped pull him up. Mr. Davis didn't realize the danger until he heard the on coming train getting closer. He then quickly pulled himself up onto the platform. On Monday, back at rehearsal, Mr. Grey Davis was honored by his instructor with a traditional flower wreath. This story made me smile. Hearing this reassur...

14-Year-Old Girl Delivers 'Absolutely Extraordinary' 'World of Dance' Routine- Review Day 6

Eva Igo, 14-year-old dancer from Minnesota preformed a "hypnotizing" performance on "World of Dance". "Such a star", J.Lo states. I love this dance. You can definitely feel the emotion Eva is giving off in this performance. She seemed comfortable up on stage and definitely lived up to my mothers words, "Dance like no one is watching." One of the judges, Derek Hough, commented, "You dominated that stage," and she really did. She used the entire stage, used her face, and turned her dance into a story and conveyed the story so well that, as I said earlier, you can feel the emotion of her dance.

What It's Like to Go from Stardom to the Corps de Ballet-Review Day 12

Starting in a small local dance school and ending up in the Corps de Ballet is huge, but most dancers don't even realize how or when they go there. "I wasn't even thinking about a career yet. It was all sort of a whirlwind, and I just went with it." says Betsy McBride, a 24 year-old dancer who started in her local dance school at the age of 3 in the suburbs of Dallas. At 14, Mc Bride went to a summer intensive to get better and learn more, at a school that's affiliated with the Texas Ballet Theater. After a few weeks, she was offered a year-round place at the school. A couple months after that, she was hired into the Texas Ballet Theater. In 2015, McBride contacted the American Ballet Theater, in search of something bigger and new to do in her career. ABT originally said that there were no open spots but offered to let her take a class with them. After the class was over, she had made a good enough impression that a spot just so happened to open up and she was of...
