Dance Improv | Kaitlin Hung | TEDxYouth@Conejo

Kaitlin Hung's improvised dance demonstrates the path unknown and unexpected. Dancers often face unforeseen pathways during competitions, and it is a true test of a dancer's skill and musicality. It is here they must accumulate all their knowledge and apply it in their movement. No one knows what the dancer will do, and neither does the dancer.
Kaitlin has thirteen years of classical ballet training from the Royal Academy of Dance and five years of additional training in pointe and jazz. She is a senior on the Thousand Oaks High School (Thousand Oaks, California, U.S.A.) Dance Team and trains twenty hours a week.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
