What is Dance?

Posted on April 3, 2012 by admin

“Dance like there’s nobody watching,

Love like you’ll never be hurt.

Sing like there’s nobody listening,

And live like it’s heaven on earth.”

- William W. Purkey

The art of dance is the art of life itself, a pulse, a heartbeat, a driving force to live, live, live. It inspires so many people, all over the world, in so many ways, and means so many things to so many different people. What is dance, after all? Is it self-expression? Beauty? Sexuality? Is it fluid movement, or hip-shaking hotness, or crazy athleticism? Is it individuality or unity? Curves or angles? Isn’t dance all of those things? After all, it’s an art form that encompasses ballet and hip-hop, tap and krumping, the chorus line, the ballroom duet, and the solo. It can be choreographed or improvised, costumed or nude. Dance is simply the body’s urge towards movement in a way unlike any other; the merging of music with the physical. It can be concentrated or mindless, and is paradoxically both rigidly rehearsed and fundamentally free.

It is dance.

“Dancing faces you towards Heaven, whichever direction you turn.” – Sweetpea Tyler

“Dance is your pulse, your heartbeat, your breathing. It’s the rhythm of your life. It’s the expression in time and movement,
in happiness, joy, sadness and envy.” – Jaques D’Amboise

“Let us read and let us dance – two amusements that will never do any harm to the world.” – Voltaire

“We should consider everyday lost in which we don’t dance.” – Neitzsche

“Dancers are athletes of God.” – Albert Einstein

“I have no desire to prove anything by dancing. I have never used it as an outlet or a means of expressing myself. I just dance. I just put my feet in the air and move them around.” – Fred Astaire

“The dance is a poem of which each movement is a word” – Mata Hari

“When you do dance, I wish you

A wave o’ the sea, that you might ever do

Nothing but that.”

- William Shakespeare

Building Your Audio Recording Studio On A Budget

Posted on January 23, 2013 by admin


With the technology today, we can capture music at home that’s worthy of a professional TV anchor audio recording. Modern recording gadgets enables us to get our voices, thoughts and opinions out there even while taping from home. You don’t need tens of thousands of dollars to build one. This article will help you set up your own recording studio on a budget.

How to start an audio recording studio:

Computer: These are the key items here— new computer, large memory space and reliable processor. You don’t need a very high- tech computer for this. A computer model that’s released no longer than 1 to 2 years would suffice. Just make sure it’s brand new and will be used solely for recording. Don’t do your homework here or play games on it so it will last longer. Since you’ll be recording and saving loads of audio, a memory of around 8GB is recommended. Don’t let memory storage affect your recording! A reliable processor will also ensure nothing lags or crashes. 
Another thing you need to invest on is a sound card. If you’re clueless which units to choose, ask the store clerk or read the reviews online. There are plenty of blogs that offer insight about certain sound cards they love and hate. Learn more about sound cards and how it affects audio output with more research.

Gear: This is where the fun part begins. For starters, you are going to need a studio condenser microphone. Don’t go for the cheapest as these don’t usually give the best audio recording. Instead, go for those that are personally recommended by the seller and have high reviews. Again, if you’re clueless— do your research and ask around. It will save you a lot of money, time and effort. 
Additional gears like a soundboard and mixer are optional. If you’re planning to record a number of audio that requires it, you should purchase one. Check your finances first if you can afford it or wait and buy it later. 
Don’t forget to shop for the little things like the microphone stand, music sheet holder and amp. These will cost you anywhere from $40 to $60.

Studio Shack: You need space to start recording. It should be a closed space so the voice won’t bounce around and echo. A small space is ideal because it costs less to install foam and padding. Find a small room in your house the size of a mini or walk in closet. Make sure to take everything out so it doesn’t affect the music. Now it’s time to set everything up and start recording your first gig! Enjoy!

Warehouse Management Made Easy

Posted on August 7, 2012 by admin

When you own a warehouse management company, it can be extremely difficult to keep track of the orders, inventory, shipping, and receiving processes. This doesn’t count everything that is on the back end such as book keeping, accounting, and handling returns and exchanges. There is, however, a way you can keep everything all in one spot. A logistics software system will allow you to manage all aspects of your warehouse under one umbrella.

One choice would be a commerce system. This kind of software incorporates all different aspects such as inventory control, processing both purchase and sales orders, tracking the pick up and delivery of the products, and an accounting system that helps keep track of income, expenses, and profits. If you are interested only in tracking your product within the warehouse itself, you may choose to opt for a more streamlined type of software. This would track your inventory from the moment it is shipped out to your warehouse until it has been received by your customer. It is very helpful in organizing your records so that product on hand is neither too much nor too little. As a result, customer satisfaction can be maximized because you will cut down on the chance that product will have to be back ordered. Some warehouse management software includes options on the back end which will aid in a variety of accounting jobs. Some examples would include processing returns and exchanges, credit checks, invoicing, and accounts payable and receivable. By integrating your accounting needs within your software system, you can be assured of a more streamlined approach from beginning to end.

It can be difficult to find a software system that is right for your particular needs. A larger warehouse may require a more involved system while a smaller one will not. The experts at Magaya will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
