The 2010 Paws 2 Dance Gala Event Is Something You Cannot Miss!
Canine Musical Freestyle, or canine freestyle -
as it is sometimes called, is a choreographed
set of moves performed to music by dog and
handler. Divisions range from pre-novice,
novice, intermediate, advanced and masters.
It is a world-wide
sport - and hence the
name - World Canine
Musical Freestyle
Sport.
Both the dog and
handler share the spotlight and are judged equally. The dog and handler may perform moves that are at any
distance from each other.
The nice thing about doing canine musical freestyle is that,
even while competing, you can talk and encourage your dog
throughout the entire program. This really helps relieve stress
on the part of the dog and handler. The bond between handler
and dog grows and most importantly it is enjoyable to both.
From Japan to Germany…from India to Italy, a new breed of
kite flyer is being born. At all times of the day and night you will
find these dedicated enthusiasts inside schools, warehouses,
gymnasiums, churches, ballrooms and even shopping malls,
chasing an element exactly opposite traditional kite flying…a
windless environment!
Many indoor kite flyers enjoy outdoor kiting with the wind at their backs,
although they experience common limitations and restrictions, mostly weather
and wind related…too cold, too hot, not enough wind, too much wind, etc. However, one restriction stands out above most…the inability to fly in
the entire 360 degree window surrounding them. Typical outdoor wind conditions may allow a skilled kite pilot to fly as much as 180 degrees side
to side and approach direct overhead maneuvers; however, indoor conditions commonly allow a skilled pilot to fly 360 degrees and any overhead
direction. Indoor kite pilots create wind utilizing various walking patterns, and shoulder, arm and wrist movements as well as acrobatic twisting,
spinning and twirling making the kite flying experience more of a dance. Each body nuance is mirrored in the kite creating an artistic reflection of
the flyer's creativity.
