The Magical ‘Harry Potter’ College Courses For True Ravenclaws At Heart -Review Day 15

After 20 years of 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone', Colleges are taking full advantage of the popularity and major interest in the Harry Potter series. Creating courses similar to those of Hogwarts, colleges gain the interest in many young adults and use this to look deeper into the Harry Potter world and compare it to our own world. They take the ideas that J.K. Rowling came up and study deeper into them, such as determining why she used a certain social culture in the magic world compared to our own.
I find this so cool and creative of these colleges. It brings something that has such a huge fan base into education to take closer looks at the ideas, morals, and cultural choices of J.K. Rowling.

Nicolas Le Riche was a principle performer with the Paris Opera Ballet for the duration of his carrer and is now becoming the Head of the Royal Swedish Ballet and succeeding Johannes Öhman. Le Riche has had works created for him by renowned choreographers such as Mats Ek , Jiri Kylian, William Forsythe and John Neumeier.

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.

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...
