Highlights of Decades

Carpe Motus Dance Company of Saint Elizabeth has done it again. Putting on their annual dance showcase this year featuring acts such as singing, guitar playing, extreme hula-hooping and of course dancing! Dancing through the Decades ranges from music genres dating all the way back to the 1920s and ending in 2015. Running a little over an hour the show's funky beats and creative mash-ups got the audience roaring in their seats with excitement. It was definitely a show designed to grab every age groups attention, young and old.


"You guys did such a great job! Definetly one of the best dance shows I have ever seen!"
- Dean Buck


Selling over $500 dollar in tickets sales, Dancing through the Decades was definitely a huge success and an entertaining experience for everyone in attendance. Huge credit goes to the MC's of the show, keeping it flowing smoothly with their completely ad-libbed entertaining banter, which had the audience cracking up.

1930s & 1940s: Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy ft. Ginger

Gracing us with her cultivating flying rifle routine, Ginger flawlessly performed while keeping the audience at the edge of their seats. The jaws of the audience dropped but her rifle never did.

A crowd favorite that left some audience members in tears. The ladies preformed this praise dance in such a graceful manor that touched everyone who saw it.

1970s Mix of Disco

Can you say throwback? The ladies got real groovy and took it back to the 70's with their funky outfits. Dancing to songs like Le Freak, Hustle, September and Stayin' Alive. Can you dig it?

1980s - Smooth Criminal and Rhythm Nation


Perfectly choreographed as well as a crowd favorite featuring elite moves that represented the king of pop himself, making a performance that would make the Jackson family proud.

2000s Hip Hop Theme

"Uhuh this my SH*T!" The girls got down to poppin' hits that most of us were jamming to back in middle school such as Hollaback, Lips Gloss and London Bridge. The crowd went BANANAS!

Ending the show with a bang with a performance that would make you jump through hoops! All and all the ladies did and excellent job and made their school proud. Nothing but positive reviews from not only attending students but as well as professors and parents.

Looking forward to seeing what's next for Saint Elizabeth's Carpe Motus Dance Company.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
