Flexibility Importance Flexibility can become an important ability in your life creating different opportunities that you never thought you could do with your body. Being flexible can relieve muscle pain and soreness throughout your body. It can also help with your relaxation with your mind, body, and soul especially if you are stressed. It can also help you increase endurance and your mobility in your joints. It will allow you to move more freely through ranges of motions without any pain. Flexibility is important in anyone's life because it helps with daily assignments and can help when you get older. 2 It can help your muscles relax and to be comfortable with your body through night and day! To help improve your flexibility you can take 10 minutes or more out of your day to work on your breathing work, and to do stretches that are controlled movements that will prepare your muscles for the day. The focus will be stretches for your postural awareness and your alignment with your body. This can help reduce the stiffness and the possibility of any muscle strain injuries.

Dance Critique of Bailey Sok This was also performed with her partner Kida 6 Burns

This performance was a partnership between Bailey Sok and Kida Burns. This dance was performed in a show called World of Dance where they were competing in the second round of duels. Their performance showed the competitiveness and how they expressed how confident they were during their dance. Throughout the performance they showed how they had movement through the floor by bending their knees and using the ground to help heighten their performance. Their facial expressions were on fire, and it showed in the dance which made the audience more intrigued with their performance. In their facials you could also see how competitive they were, and they also expressed that to their competitors when doing this performance. Between Bailey and Kida, I would say that both of them really stood out while they performed, they both complimented each other during the performance which made the dance have more meaning to it. From the audience point of view the dance did not show a story but, they did show distinct types of emotions throughout the dance and how you could feel they really worked hard, and they are serious about the competition. The song that they danced to was very upbeat and a strong song. For the type of song they performed with, they really needed to show the isolations between the body and their dance to get every beat which they did very well on. The music evoked a tone to the dance which showed their competitiveness and showed their abilities in this performance. The costumes they wore for this performance was very well planned out, it highlighted some of their features on their bodies and became more entertaining and it looked cooler and smooth. Their environment when they did this performance was a closed- in space, it was a type of space where you see in a dance studio. Where the audience was surrounding you when you danced, the lighting and the stage was not distracting.The movement throughout the dance was very well spaced out. They stayed close together as most of the dance had involved teamwork. Their dance was very robotic and smooth at the same time. Every move that they did was very precise to really show 7
