Personal opinion

I love Parris Goebel and admire her so much because she has so much creativity and many innovative ideas which she strongly conveys to the audience. I love that her dance style and choreography ranges from very feminine to more masculine movement. Another reason I admire Parris so much is because she is lead choreographer of 6 different crews ranging from adults to mega crew to juniors. Every time I see the crews perform or when I watch their YouTube videos, they are unique from each other and each crew has different types of movement which I can’t believe because sometimes I wonder how Parris has that much creativity to come up with 5 minute routines for each crew! Slide14

Continued

Although there are boys within The Royal Family, I love that Parris really makes the girls stand out and portrays them in a very powerful way. Finally, Parris is a huge inspiration to me because not only does she choreograph routines for all her crews in order for them to compete, but she also makes a lot of concept videos and short dance films, as well as prepare her own show in which all of her crews perform in, she designs the crews’ costumes, makes her own mixes, and has a Royal Family clothing line.Slide15
