My Project

Dance needs music to set the mood, drop the beat, and create my students motivation needed to start moving. Music has that ability to make us feel a certain way, which is why it plays such an immense role in dance.

Music sets the mood and is often in line with our emotions, as we all can recognize its role in dance.

Having high-quality speakers will drastically improve my students' experience every time they practice with their group to help them succeed.

During a dance performance, music plays an important foreshadowing and guiding role in dancers' body movement, stimulates dancers' inner throbbing and gives more passion to dancers, so that they will have the strong desire for performance. Excellent music works can never escape from the dancer's acute ears.
