Darkness

In Homestead High School's JV dance team jazz dance, underlying observation of the piece is that the dance is fast-paced and dark inferring that a great deal of practice must have been involved in creating it into how it appears today. Overall, the dance is put together by several choppy movements referencing it to ghosts or the undead. The facials in this dance are full of intensity and express someone being strangled or involved in a painful death. These facials are what make the dance what it is because without them, the undead, spooky message of the dance would be lost behind the ever-changing movements. This dance takes up a great deal of space on the gym floor during some parts, but in a blink of an eye, the dancers are in a clump in the center practicing clean, choreographed lines. The ghost feeling is inferred again with this because ghosts can travel anywhere within a matter of seconds, as do the dancers from the clump to around the gym floor. With the implied, ghost theme, this theme, this dance persuades the audience with their use of movements, choreography, and facials.
