![Glendale Community College, AZ. Dance Department "Without Borders" Spring, 2006 My practicum I had to do for my Associates in Spring of 2006. Not the greatest of choreography. When I look back on it, I seriously think my choreography was not matured enough. I believe if I had waited til the next year, my ideas would have been more developed. Oh, well... what's done is done. Enjoy. PS: Bless my Adobe Premiere Elements heart. It's not as great at dvd capturing as I thought it would be. If there are little blimps here or there... ignore 'em.](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/c4oq9-5BfEA/0.jpg) 6.82 min. | 5.0 user rating |
