Sometimes they mirrored each other and other times one of them led the rest through the song. The captivating performance was a part of the 12th annual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/dancing-in-the-streets-of-miami\/\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Miami Dance Festival<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the May 21 performance, Iles said <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Etude<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, with its delicate and graceful setting accompanied by classical music by John Field, shows the luxuriousness of being in the water. It was the piece with what she called the more artistic expression.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Iles describes <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sparkle <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">as a contrasting, fun piece because it is more modern, accompanied by the electropop music by Hooverphonic. Its crisp beats and complex rhythms allowed the dancers to present a more contemporary interpretation of ballet in a very wet setting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both pieces showcased a cohesion between the lyrical style of the music and the symmetry and symbolism portrayed by dancers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf you want to have an evening, everything shouldn\u2019t look alike,\u201d said Iles. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bathing dancers, Kristen Aoki, Barbie Freeman, Rebecca Pelham, Justice Rodriguez, and Paula Vasquez, were all members of Iles\u2019 Momentum Dance Company, now in its 32nd year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Iles started the Miami Dance Festival in 2003 in response to the severe funding cutbacks imposed by the State of Florida.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She was only five-years-old in Texas when Iles first realized she wanted to be a dancer, while watching the Bolshoi Ballet perform Swan Lake with her mother and grandmother.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI had a whole career as a professional dancer first,\u201d said Iles, who has danced with the Pittsburgh Valley Theatre, Atlanta Ballet, and the Cincinnati Ballet, as well as several smaller companies in New York and two Broadway shows. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She holds an M.F.A. degree in dance from New York University and a B.A. in Teaching of Dance from Virginia Intermont College. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Iles started dancing in Miami with the Fusion Dance Company. After it went under, she and two fellow dancers came together to form <a href=\"http:\/\/momentumdance.com\/\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Momentum Dance Company<\/span><\/a> in 1982. Thirty-two years later, the contemporary dance company, which does everything from historic works to ballet and works for children, as well as presenting the Miami Dance Festival, remains strong, and Iles believes it is due to its ability to adjust to current times. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s an ever-evolving organization, and it has to be,\u201d said Iles. \u201cIf you don\u2019t evolve and grow and change with times, you won\u2019t last. There are very few modern dance companies in the United States that have been around as long as Momentum.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While teaching dance at MDC, her classes follow a very intimate and interactive setting. As she is instructs, she corrects her dancers\u2019 faults as soon as they are noticed, leaving little room for misinterpretation and communicating thoroughly with her students. In her Modern Dance I class, open to all majors, her students are exposed to various styles of music, including, ragtime, baroque compositions and Appalachian music. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHer strength is her patience and attention to new students,\u201d student Stephanie Elmir said. \u201cShe really takes the time to teach us properly. As a beginner, I learned just how functional the body can be.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fellow student Chrissy Rubenstein described Iles as very passionate and interactive. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cShe\u2019s never in a bad mood, and she\u2019s full of energy,\u201d said Rubinstein. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Iles is looking forward to future projects, including an insect inspired dance. She would also like to hopefully do a performance on the Metromover in downtown Miami later in September.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe\u2019re pretty open minded about what dance can be and where it can take place,\u201d Iles said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether she is dancing, choreographing, or teaching, Iles enjoys being able to do what she loves.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI feel really lucky, because not that many people get to do that,\u201d Iles said. \u201cI love being here at the college. I love my students here and it\u2019s great working with them. Teaching is something I don\u2019t just put up with, I really enjoy it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Miami Dade College Wolfson Campus dance professor Delma Iles staged a water ballet show this summer at the National Hotel in Miami Beach, five dancers, all in pink bathing suits delicately danced throughout two pools.
