Real-Istic Analysis
In movies and tv shows you are taught that if you dream big, you are actually going to accomplish your goals ;however, in real life you need to be
"real"–istic because it can be very risky and your dreams may not always be successfu.l
Money can always help you achieve your goals ,but money doesn't always come easily your way. For example, my mom up to the moment always
tells me to be realistic and to have goals that I can do. I always told my mother that when i was 13 years old that I would go to the show called "dance
moms". She told me that in order for that to be achievable that you had to have a lot of money. I cried during that night because as a little girl that
was one of my biggest dreams. So the next day, I called Abby Lee,

The Work And Decision Making Relationships Amongst The...
Since 1950's, contemporary dance practitioners, both modern and post–modern choreographic artists/dancers, have worked with a group of dancers as
a small community or social group to create group works. This essay will discuss and reflect on the precise nature of the working and decision–making
relationships amongst the choreographer and the dancers; what the group dances looked like, or how the choreographies composed the group on
stage; nature of the studio and rehearsal processes and processes of transmission of corporeal values; and lastly, how the group worked together in
terms of 'pay and conditions' and how and where they rehearsed and performed. Using, internationally recognised choreographers Merce Cunningham
and Twyla Tharp, I will discuss these questions on the processes of group dances by how these choreographers worked and developed a group of
dancers.
The precise nature of the working and decision–making relationships amongst the choreographer and the dancers;
Merce Cunningham: dancer, choreographer, teacher and director of his own company (Brown, 1975, p19) has created, produced, and directed dozens
of choreographic dance pieces since the ninety forties, working with hundreds of dancers. "By example and accomplishment (Cunningham) has done
more to generate and influence the contemporary arts than any other choreographer," (Klosty, 1975, p11). He choreographs works of a larger scope
than a solo. Brown styles Cunningham as a awkward and a private man, but "he

The Role Of Technology In Dance
Did you know that dance has been handed down for centuries from one body to another? But little by little it has been moving into the electronic era.
Technology has been used in dance for several decades to record and reproduce existing choreography, but the means and results have exponentially
grown more sophisticated in recent years. Technology has also been used increasingly to ornament or enhance the look and content of dances on a
stage and event to affect how they unfold;technology spacing is being used as a creative tool for choreographers.It spacing only makes sense that we
would think to combine dance and technology in order to achieve a state of performance never before possible.To spacing understand how technology
has become a part of performance, we can begin by understanding the role of technology in other aspects of our lives. As technology becomes smaller
yet more powerful, it has contributed to everyday tools that allow for a more connected, efficient world. The use of technology can be a great tool for
dancers but it is essential that it serve the creative process and the aesthetics of the product. Highlight – Thesis statement? It is important for the
technology to be related to the content of the dance to serve the core idea of the work. Dawn Stoppiello of Troika Ranch feels that there must be a
link between the media being used and the context of the work. She says, "I choose the kind of sensing system based on the kind of metaphoric

Persuasive Essay On Dancers
Have you ever watched the Nutcracker as a ballet? Or seen a professional dancer dance? You probably thought of some of the things that they did
were effortless. The truth is, it isn't what you think. Dancers go through pain, stress, and shoes (Seriously!) to do what they do. There are a lot of
people that think that dancing is easy, and I am here to set that straight. Let me start off by talking about the pain.
Dancers go through a lot of pain. On average dancers get hurt about once every two weeks. That means that dancers, on average, get hurt about 26
times a year. Whether it is a tiny fall or breaking a bone, dancing is a foolproof way to hurt at least something in your body. Especially if you are on

They really just eat, sleep, study, and dance. They have an average of 7 hours of dance a day and, if they are in college, only get about 5–6 hours of
sleep depending on their minors and majors. Their schedule is this way for a reason. Dancers that professionally do this or have it as a major,
need to keep their muscles used to doing everything that they do. Try to think of it as playing music. If you learn a piece of music and then don't
play it for a week, the chances are, you probably forgot it. That's why it is important to have dance classes every day. Dancers also have their
schedule this way because of their performances. Most dancers usually have about 1 performance a week, which means that every day they need
to buckle down and work. All dancers, for a performance, need to learn their dances, get fitted for their costumes, rehearse the dances, and have
stage rehearsals at the place that they will be performing at. This happens usually all in one week. This doesn't even include their other college
classes that they may take. Now as I had said in the beginning when people see dancers dance, it looks effortless to them. This is only because
dancers WANT to make it look effortless. That is their job. The dancers want to make it look graceful and beautiful, and that doesn 't come with
making weird faces or having it look like they are working really hard. From this, some people

ballet because it was entertaining and it made a huge difference in the appearance of movies. it helped the appearance of movies because if you saw a

called dance in Europe and it was a huge part of celebration. people wanted to see the dance because it was such a privilege to be able to watch.
people do not dance ballet as much as before because the most famous dances have been lost. lesser famous dancers killed themselves to become
more famous than they already were. this is a reason that ballet is less used nowadays because they do not want anybody to get sad and suicide. a

8th Grade Persuasive Letter
Dear Mr. Penny, I have a problem with the cancellation of 8th grade advancement and have some reasons for why I think you should rethink your
decision. Firstly, I would like to say I utterly disagree with this decision completely. There are many reasons I dislike it thoroughly, such as students
already picking out suits and dresses. Secondly, I believe that there is no such reason to cancel the 8th grade advancement because we could raise the
missing money through fundraisers. I believe Advancement had been a tradition at this school every year for years, so students would probably all pitch
in to help their dance. I think it is expected and an anticipated part of the school year for the 8th graders since beginning of the school year and also as

A large majority of students have already purchased expensive suits and dresses for the dance as well as jewelry, some even with their own money. As
you can see, our students have put in a large amount of consideration of planning and money for this dance.
The dance had also already been planned by the parents as well. Another factor is certain student's relatives are also coming to the ceremony.An
example of this would be my Grandmother coming from Virginia to see me advance from the 8th grade, which can be quite a difficult trip for the
elderly. Traveling from far distances, many students look forward to a meeting with his or her relatives.
In conclusion, I believe we can still make advancement happen if we all give it our best efforts and raise the money. The advancement dance has
been a tradition for years, so we can't let it die now it allows students to meet with their friends before they arrive into teenhood.Finally, This dance and

and Ruth Page in Chicago before and during her college education. She even started her own private dance school, Ballet NГ©gre, in 1930, while at

The show was so successful that the initial two–week run was extended into a three–month run, and after that, the show was taken on a tour of the U.S.

then–segregated South, and after a very well–received performance in Louisville, Kentucky, Dunham stated, "It makes me very happy to know that
you have liked us . . . but tonight our hearts are very sad because this is a farewell to Louisville. ...I have discovered that your management will not
allow people like you to sit next to people like us. I hope that time and the unhappiness of this war for tolerance and democracy . . . will change some
of these things. Perhaps then we can return." Additionally, in 1944, Dunham opened the Dunham School of Dance and Theater in New York in
Isadora Duncan's former studio but later moved to a new location still in New York. Dunham and her company continued performing throughout the
U.S. in the 1940s, and in 1950, they performed a compilation of some of Dunham's best works at the Broadway Theater in New York which was
presented by Sol Hurok. After several performances, she and her company took the show on tour throughout the world to countries in North Africa,

Essay On 8th Grade Advancement
I strongly contradict with your decision to cancel our 8th grade advancement and the dance following it . I am very confident by writing this letter you
will reconsider the decision you have made. There is no reason strong enough to cancel the 8th grade advancement. The 8th grade advancement and
dance has been a tradition at BTMS for many years. It is an event that most students look forward to starting at the beginning of the school year. My
opinion and probably many other students to is that you shouldn't cancel it.
Some of the reasons that I feel that the advancement and the dance should continue to be an event is because numbers of students have already begun
planning for it. A handful of girls has already begun to look at dresses and shoes for this event. Shopping for dresses is very time consuming. Also, a
few girls have already purchased items for the dance. If the dance is cancelled, parents have already put money toward the event for nothing. ... Show

The Evolution Of Dance, The Italian Renaissance, And The...
"The body says what words cannot" (Martha Graham). This quote helps explain how the body can move in ways to help explain cultures and events
that have happened. The body can move in ways to show emotion that people are sometimes unable to explain with words. Different styles of dance
have evolved dramatically over the years and can even be used in the modern world as a profession.
Dance has been affected by many events including religious rituals that helped form the art of dance, the Italian Renaissance, and the French
Revolution. "Dance was originally reserved for religious rituals in ancient civilizations" ("Dance" 1). Dance was used in the religions: Judaism,
Christianity, and Islamic. In ancient Egypt, different cultures would use dance to perform for their peers in ceremonies. Dance spread throughout
Europe and soon became a common activity in many European countries. Dance also played a part in Greek and Roman society. Dance was used for
religious purposes and was also demonstrated in ceremonies. "Dancing commemorated the changing of the seasons, life and death, social solidarity, and
the connection between humanity and the unseen powers that affected human existence" ("Overview of Dance" 2). Dance would also be used in the
Greek society to honor a god or an important individual. Ballet can be dated all the way back to the Italian Renaissance. In the fifteenth century, ballet
was demonstrated during the courts of Italy. Ballet was not made to be performed in front of

fit and active during the season. Cheerleaders have to stay fit and active so when their running around, tumbling, stunting, and jumping you need to

keep their bodies up and keep their arms straight so nothing gets broken. If cheerleaders arms aren't able to keep their bodies up that's bad because if

Dance Is Not A Sport Essay
In the words of Martha Graham, "Dance is the hidden language of the soul of the body." When a dancer starts dancing, their mind doesn't work and
they have no control of their actions when dancing. Millions of people dance around the world, but some people don't respect how hard these dancers
work and the energy that goes into doing the dance. According to Cathy Levy the producer, dance programmer dancers must have a rigorous training
regime and must stay in top condition just like professional athletes such as basketball or hockey players. Some people say that dance isn't a sport
because it's not in the Olympics, but football and baseball are not in the Olympics. According to many people's definition of a sport in that it must be
in the Olympics, they are then saying baseball and football aren't a sport either. Dance requires a lot more strength than any other sport. It requires a lot
of muscle and energy, but most importantly, facial expression, love, and much more.
Performing a dance is such a hard sport to compete with because you have to do many things to impress everyone and you must have to be very
exact. These hard working dancers have to try to impress every judge they're showing their dance to and all judges have their own opinions. Some
judges might like some things but another may not like it. Also, if a judge or someone sees an arm or a leg is ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net

People dance because they want to do it for fun and not as a career or anything, just for enjoyment and because they're bored. This is why they have

Rehearsals Behind the Scenes: Before the production of Wicked, the dancers and singers practiced for two years. They had scripture readings and
worked together on the choreography of the pieces. The dancers bonded through their love for the show and joked and laughed during rehearsals. The
documentary stated that the dancers rehearsed up until the night before the first production. I find it so interesting that throughout the course of two

Aquinas Dance Team
It is debatable that different activities at Saint Thomas Aquinas are all treated the same, and if further advances could be done to better certain
programs for students.
One of these many activities is dance team. With previous questioning, there have been questions to further the opportunities of being a member of
such a wonderful atmosphere in the program. Aquinas provides many art and choir classes that go towards an art credit. With research, the University
of Kansas and Kansas State University include dance as part of their School of Arts. Academic Principals Brian Schenck and Craig Moss, and
Academic Counselor Deb Castinado have shared their views on making dance team a fine arts credit, gym credit, or becoming a zero or first hour
class. Most agreed that since dance is an outside activity and not during a school hour, it would be hard to make it a fine arts or gym credit. "If we
start with dance, then do we do cheer, then sports because everyone practices." stated Mrs. Castinado.
Some public schools have dance as a first hour which has then allowed it to become a gym class credit. "I don't think it could be a 1st hour, but I

Peter Figueroa's Framework
As a male there are many levels of Peter Figueroa Framework, that affects the question will I dance again? Constructed over five separate levels:
Individual, Interpersonal, Institutional, Structural and Cultural, these areas are used to investigate the ways in which inequities challenge the area of

media, development programs, marketing and secondly the Institutional Level encompassing my community, school, facilities, rules and religion (Hede

Institutions such as schools, community groups, sporting clubs, and religious groups are able to help shape positive attitudes to sport and physical
activity athletes (Hede et al, 2010, pg. 300). An additional reason as to why I have not danced except for in school arranged programs is due to the
lack of facilities and know ballroom dance studio within the Redlands. This is evident as unlike Tennis where there is five Tennis Centre's within the
Redlands there is only two ballroom dance studios. Due to my failure to succeed in dance this affected my self–esteem need and made it hard to enjoy
it. Participating in dance was also made difficult to partake in at school, as Carmel only has one classroom with the suitable wooden floor and
numerous classes needing to use it makes it inequitable. Trips to a local studio were needed where we were able to have the use of professional
dance teachers making it advantageous. Having the professional advice and help made it easier to choreographed our own dance routine. Carmel is
also a school that does not succeed highly in dance and therefore does not invest as much time and money into dance compared to other sports like
Touch, Rugby 7's or Netball. Analyses of an ABS statistic shows that the most popular sport for males was outdoor soccer, with 309,700 participants

The U.S is a special place to live because it's a culturally diverse society filled with different cultures from around the world. I'm glad that I live in the

Otomi Mask Making Traditions And Rituals
OtomГ Mask Making Traditions Many Mesoamerican Indian groups in Mexico used and continue to use masks in their culture today. One of these
Mesoamerican Indian groups includes the HГ±ahГ±u Indian people, also known as the OtomГ Indians. Due to a loss of the unwritten customs and
traditions that failed to continue by word of mouth, many mask–making origins have been lost. Researchers make assumptions with the little
information they have obtained from researching the OtomГes and other close indigenous groups. The OtomГ Indians associate many rituals with
masks. Religious ceremonies and carnival celebrations often include masks. Masks were also often combined with storytelling, music, and rhythm
(Bell). The masking rituals contain many religious and cultural aspects. The OtomГ have a highly diverse history filled with cultural traditions in which
masks are used to represent symbols or spirits. Masking traditions display the needs, beliefs, values and desire of a culture. To be able to understand
the Otomi mask–making traditions and rituals, it is necessary to learn and understand a little about where the Otomies came from and how they lived.
The population of the OtomГ Indians is about 300,000. The OtomГes live in different regions of the central plateau of the Mexican republic. The Otomi

how patterns of speech among these groups can be understood as linguistic styles and how they differ across the groups. Following Eckert (1989,

The Dance World Is Like No Other, And The Unique Blend
The dance world is like no other, and the unique blend of art and sport creates a specific breed of human. Joseph Mazo summarizes it well,
There is physical stress: speed, pain, the arbitrary acrobatics of their profession. There is emotional stress: the quest for perfection, the drive of
ambition, the need to succeed here, in this theater, because no other arena of life exists. Meals are irregular, circles of friendship are limited, work is
taxing (Mazo, 1974: 93).

Part of a dancer's quest for perfection, is the belief that they cannot be broken. A dancer will never want to admit that they are suffering–a sign of
weakness. Refusing to admit defeat is one of the reasons dancers push through their pain.
This quarter, I polled my dance friends via text message if they would encourage or discourage their child from pursuing dance. I asked my friends
who said they would encourage their children to dance for their reasoning. Their responses were about how they want their children to be
high–achievers. The dance world is a place where only those who are driven, people–pleasing disciplined, Type–A personalities survive. Adherence to
conventions surrounding the pursuit of perfection are rewarded with contracts and promotions.
Dancers have amazing work ethics–a dancer would not survive in the field without one; this "can't stop, won't stop" attitude can be unhealthy,
especially when a dancer's compliant mindset prevails. The studio has a distinct set of rules, and dancers learn these manners from the minute one
steps foot into the studio. Dancers are taught verbally and through observation to always do as they are told. This leads to an 'authoritarian' teaching
environment (McEwen, 2012). When a choreographer or teacher tells a dancer to jump, their response is "How high?" Dancers naturally have an
"insatiable craving for approval" (Mazo, 1974) that often places the body at risk.

However, his costumes continued to be on the side of basic, mostly just bedazzled practice gear if you must. He liked simplicity and would often
be happy with the dancers in their basic black leotards with a skirt, which is still shown in many of his pieces today. However, one vital piece of
information that is still seen with in his dances today is that he truly focused on the female dancers. He believed that ballet should be focused
almost inclusively on the female dancers. While he wanted his male dancers to be strong and vocal points at times he would often put more
emphasis on the female dancers, requiring them to have high levels of stamina and tolerance for pain. At age 79, 4 wives and over 400 pieces of
choreography later, Balanchine left us as legacy in 1983. When he died, he did not think that his dances would last, he thought they would be fleeting

Is dance a sport? A sport is an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for

dances were really simple. The women wore a dress or a skirt with a dress shirt tucked in. The dress or skirt has to have a full skirt and heels or

Real-Istic Analysis

  • 1. Real-Istic Analysis In movies and tv shows you are taught that if you dream big, you are actually going to accomplish your goals ;however, in real life you need to be "real"–istic because it can be very risky and your dreams may not always be successfu.l Money can always help you achieve your goals ,but money doesn't always come easily your way. For example, my mom up to the moment always tells me to be realistic and to have goals that I can do. I always told my mother that when i was 13 years old that I would go to the show called "dance moms". She told me that in order for that to be achievable that you had to have a lot of money. I cried during that night because as a little girl that was one of my biggest dreams. So the next day, I called Abby Lee, ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 2. The Work And Decision Making Relationships Amongst The... Since 1950's, contemporary dance practitioners, both modern and post–modern choreographic artists/dancers, have worked with a group of dancers as a small community or social group to create group works. This essay will discuss and reflect on the precise nature of the working and decision–making relationships amongst the choreographer and the dancers; what the group dances looked like, or how the choreographies composed the group on stage; nature of the studio and rehearsal processes and processes of transmission of corporeal values; and lastly, how the group worked together in terms of 'pay and conditions' and how and where they rehearsed and performed. Using, internationally recognised choreographers Merce Cunningham and Twyla Tharp, I will discuss these questions on the processes of group dances by how these choreographers worked and developed a group of dancers. The precise nature of the working and decision–making relationships amongst the choreographer and the dancers; Merce Cunningham: dancer, choreographer, teacher and director of his own company (Brown, 1975, p19) has created, produced, and directed dozens of choreographic dance pieces since the ninety forties, working with hundreds of dancers. "By example and accomplishment (Cunningham) has done more to generate and influence the contemporary arts than any other choreographer," (Klosty, 1975, p11). He choreographs works of a larger scope than a solo. Brown styles Cunningham as a awkward and a private man, but "he ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 3. The Role Of Technology In Dance Did you know that dance has been handed down for centuries from one body to another? But little by little it has been moving into the electronic era. Technology has been used in dance for several decades to record and reproduce existing choreography, but the means and results have exponentially grown more sophisticated in recent years. Technology has also been used increasingly to ornament or enhance the look and content of dances on a stage and event to affect how they unfold;technology spacing is being used as a creative tool for choreographers.It spacing only makes sense that we would think to combine dance and technology in order to achieve a state of performance never before possible.To spacing understand how technology has become a part of performance, we can begin by understanding the role of technology in other aspects of our lives. As technology becomes smaller yet more powerful, it has contributed to everyday tools that allow for a more connected, efficient world. The use of technology can be a great tool for dancers but it is essential that it serve the creative process and the aesthetics of the product. Highlight – Thesis statement? It is important for the technology to be related to the content of the dance to serve the core idea of the work. Dawn Stoppiello of Troika Ranch feels that there must be a link between the media being used and the context of the work. She says, "I choose the kind of sensing system based on the kind of metaphoric meaning I want to ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. Persuasive Essay On Dancers Have you ever watched the Nutcracker as a ballet? Or seen a professional dancer dance? You probably thought of some of the things that they did were effortless. The truth is, it isn't what you think. Dancers go through pain, stress, and shoes (Seriously!) to do what they do. There are a lot of people that think that dancing is easy, and I am here to set that straight. Let me start off by talking about the pain. Dancers go through a lot of pain. On average dancers get hurt about once every two weeks. That means that dancers, on average, get hurt about 26 times a year. Whether it is a tiny fall or breaking a bone, dancing is a foolproof way to hurt at least something in your body. Especially if you are on pointe. In a pointe shoe, you ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... They really just eat, sleep, study, and dance. They have an average of 7 hours of dance a day and, if they are in college, only get about 5–6 hours of sleep depending on their minors and majors. Their schedule is this way for a reason. Dancers that professionally do this or have it as a major, need to keep their muscles used to doing everything that they do. Try to think of it as playing music. If you learn a piece of music and then don't play it for a week, the chances are, you probably forgot it. That's why it is important to have dance classes every day. Dancers also have their schedule this way because of their performances. Most dancers usually have about 1 performance a week, which means that every day they need to buckle down and work. All dancers, for a performance, need to learn their dances, get fitted for their costumes, rehearse the dances, and have stage rehearsals at the place that they will be performing at. This happens usually all in one week. This doesn't even include their other college classes that they may take. Now as I had said in the beginning when people see dancers dance, it looks effortless to them. This is only because dancers WANT to make it look effortless. That is their job. The dancers want to make it look graceful and beautiful, and that doesn 't come with making weird faces or having it look like they are working really hard. From this, some people ...

  • 5. Popular Dance In The 1900s have you ever wondered about ballet? me neither! but deal with it! ballet was a very popular dance in the early 1900s. people liked ballet for what it did in movies and how it was entertaining. by the 1920s the most popular dances were forgotten and lost. ballet dancers dance with emotion so that people can understand the dance. people used ballet in movies to increase popularity of the movie. It was used in such a way it was a privilege to watch or dance in ballet. ballet was a dance that made people feel emotion that they normally did not feel. people would in the past pay lots of money to go see a ballet dance. people who payed the money felt that it was a good use of their money. during the cold war russia was the main country dancing ballet. ...

  • 6. 8th Grade Persuasive Letter Dear Mr. Penny, I have a problem with the cancellation of 8th grade advancement and have some reasons for why I think you should rethink your decision. Firstly, I would like to say I utterly disagree with this decision completely. There are many reasons I dislike it thoroughly, such as students already picking out suits and dresses. Secondly, I believe that there is no such reason to cancel the 8th grade advancement because we could raise the missing money through fundraisers. I believe Advancement had been a tradition at this school every year for years, so students would probably all pitch in to help their dance. I think it is expected and an anticipated part of the school year for the 8th graders since beginning of the school year and also as a reliever from ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... A large majority of students have already purchased expensive suits and dresses for the dance as well as jewelry, some even with their own money. As you can see, our students have put in a large amount of consideration of planning and money for this dance. The dance had also already been planned by the parents as well. Another factor is certain student's relatives are also coming to the ceremony.An example of this would be my Grandmother coming from Virginia to see me advance from the 8th grade, which can be quite a difficult trip for the elderly. Traveling from far distances, many students look forward to a meeting with his or her relatives. In conclusion, I believe we can still make advancement happen if we all give it our best efforts and raise the money. The advancement dance has been a tradition for years, so we can't let it die now it allows students to meet with their friends before they arrive into teenhood.Finally, This dance and ceremony would give students a profound sense of joy and accomplishment.

  • 7. Dance Research Paper Before I went to dance that day I felt so bored like I would just dance forever, but that would change. My whole family ate supper, and then I had to go to dance class. I was in first grade at the time. My dad took me to dance class that night. I went in and was getting ready for class when I heard my friend talk about how her sister used to do cheer. I asked her more about it. She said, "They do tumbling, stunting, and a little dancing at the end." It sounded so fun, I was so interested in cheer. I couldn't wait to tell my parents about cheer! If I wouldn't have told them about cheer, they probably would have never known or let me do it. But, they let me do cheer, and I was so happy. I was so grateful that my mom and dad let me do cheer, because it costed a lot of money.... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Finally, it was time to leave dance, my dad picked me up. When I got in the care I said, "I don't like dance anymore." He asked me why I did not like dance. I said, "That I wanted to do cheer instead." He just looked at me funny and said, "Ask your mom about cheer." So I couldn't wait to get home to ask my mom about cheer. We were driving in the car and I was waiting so anxiously just thinking about what she would say. Finally, we arrived home, but I couldn't wait no more. I sprinted out of the car, inside our house then had to catch my breath. My mom asked about dance. I said, "It was fine, but I have something to tell you." "What?," my mother said. I heard some girls taking about cheer, and I want to be in it. "And you heard this at dance?", yea I said. "What do you all do at cheer?", my mom asked.

  • 8. Katherine Dunham: Activist, Anthropologist, Dancer Katherine Dunham not only significantly contributed to the rise of modern dance, but she was also a pioneer in the field of dance anthropology; and a staunch political and social activist. Dunham was born in Chicago, Illinois and primarily raised in nearby Joliet, Illinois. Dunham first became interested in dance when she was a teenager and trained with Ludmilla Speranzeva, formerly of the Moscow Theatre, Vera Mirova, Mark Turbyfill and Ruth Page in Chicago before and during her college education. She even started her own private dance school, Ballet NГ©gre, in 1930, while at the University of Chicago where she first began to cultivate her own technique that would change modern dance. At the University of Chicago, Dunham decided to study ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The show was so successful that the initial two–week run was extended into a three–month run, and after that, the show was taken on a tour of the U.S. and Canada although the show was banned in Boston after only one performance. Dunham and her company also toured throughout the then–segregated South, and after a very well–received performance in Louisville, Kentucky, Dunham stated, "It makes me very happy to know that you have liked us . . . but tonight our hearts are very sad because this is a farewell to Louisville. ...I have discovered that your management will not allow people like you to sit next to people like us. I hope that time and the unhappiness of this war for tolerance and democracy . . . will change some of these things. Perhaps then we can return." Additionally, in 1944, Dunham opened the Dunham School of Dance and Theater in New York in Isadora Duncan's former studio but later moved to a new location still in New York. Dunham and her company continued performing throughout the U.S. in the 1940s, and in 1950, they performed a compilation of some of Dunham's best works at the Broadway Theater in New York which was presented by Sol Hurok. After several performances, she and her company took the show on tour throughout the world to countries in North Africa, South America, Central America and Europe.

  • 9. Is Dance A Sport Essay Is dance a sport? Many people right now are thinking "How is the harlem shake or the cupid shuffle a sport?", but that is not what we are talking about, we are talking about dance sports and teams. "But Sport is in the name DANCESPORT" is what some are saying now, but many still don't accept this kind of dance as a sport yet. There are two sides to this argument, those who are for dance as a sport are usually those who are in a dance sport or are educated in the subject. While those who are against it as a sport tend to not be part of a dance sport or just don't know what they are truly talking about. So why don't we delve into this argument. Let's start with the definition of a sport. Oxford defines a sport like this "an activity that ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

All of these thing some not even required to meet the definition of what a sport is are met by Dancesports. While those who oppose the very idea, they just say the opposite with little knowledge or experience to backup these claims. Those against it keep dragging this on even to the point where they result to insulting those for it to make up for their lack of evidence and facts. Even when someone does have facts against Dancesports, those for it come up with evidence to go against it. This argument is pointless and is being dragged out too long, by those who are ...

  • 11. Essay On 8th Grade Advancement I strongly contradict with your decision to cancel our 8th grade advancement and the dance following it . I am very confident by writing this letter you will reconsider the decision you have made. There is no reason strong enough to cancel the 8th grade advancement. The 8th grade advancement and dance has been a tradition at BTMS for many years. It is an event that most students look forward to starting at the beginning of the school year. My opinion and probably many other students to is that you shouldn't cancel it. Some of the reasons that I feel that the advancement and the dance should continue to be an event is because numbers of students have already begun planning for it. A handful of girls has already begun to look at dresses and shoes for this event. Shopping for dresses is very time consuming. Also, a few girls have already purchased items for the dance. If the dance is cancelled, parents have already put money toward the event for nothing. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... There have already been a few meetings to begin planning this event and many parents eager to help. As a result of the dance being cancelled, parents have put forward their time and effort for absolutely nothing. Lastly I have spoken to a few students have told me their long distance relatives are coming to see them advance. You wouldn't want to take away an opportunity for students to feel proud in front of relatives they don't see very often because of distance. In conclusion, this is why I feel we shouldn't have our advancement and dance cancelled. This event is a moment for many students to feel proud of their accomplishments. It is our last event as middle schoolers and a time where we could make memories to cherish forever. I hope you reconsider your decision about the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 13. A Princess : An Athlete A princess. An athlete. A dancer. And the president. Some of the things we dream to be us when we grow up as an adult. We learn at a young age that our possibles are endless and we can be anything we set our minds out to be. Setting career aspirations created in the movies and fairy tales that show us these as our goals . Dreaming all kinds of possibles to rule the world, travel to foreign lands and became the next Beyonce . Displaying these people to be the only people looked up to in society because they have what is known as the "greatest accomplishment." However, to me the journey is far better than the reward. Meaning that it's not about the path you take but making it for you and worth it for you. Growing up my two biggest fears in life was not knowing what would happen next and disappointing others. As a person I'm a big overthinker and to not be able to predict what would happen next frightened me. Especially when it would affect people, whether it would be myself, my parents or complete strangers. Everything around me that I would do seemed like a competition to be the best except for dancing. Dance had always made me feel so free and became an outlet for me to challenge my brain or creative without it being competitive . The music was power, the movement was liberating and the people were family. Although, as I grew up dance started to feel like the opposite.

However, the first day of my audition for an actual dance crew was kind of intense. I remember walking into a room full of talented dancers and completely doubting myself. It gave me a strange feeling in my stomach. I felt like throwing up, but I knew I had to suck it up and get through it. It made me nervous knowing that I was one of the last ones to audition.

Different styles of dance have evolved dramatically over the years and can even be used in the modern world as a profession.

She loved to dance, but she didn't like traditional dances. She refused to learn classical ballet. Instead, Isadora listened to the music and moved naturally. She walked, jumped, or just stood still and moved from side to side. No one had ever danced like that before. She was the creator of modern dance. Family background Isadora Duncan was born in 1878 in San Francisco, California. She was the second daughter and the youngest of four children to parents Joseph Charles and Dora Gray Duncan. Her father was a poet and her mother was a pianist and music teacher. When Isadora's parents married, her father was divorced with four children and 30 years her senior. He supported his family through running a lottery2, publishing three newspapers, owning a private art gallery, directing an auction3 business and owning a bank.

When a dancer starts dancing, their mind doesn't work and they have no control of their actions when dancing. Millions of people dance around the world, but some people don't respect how hard these dancers work and the energy that goes into doing the dance. According to Cathy Levy the producer, dance programmer dancers must have a rigorous training regime and must stay in top condition just like professional athletes such as basketball or hockey players. Some people say that dance isn't a sport because it's not in the Olympics, but football and baseball are not in the Olympics. According to many people's definition of a sport in that it must be in the Olympics, they are then saying baseball and football aren't a sport either.

Aquinas provides many art and choir classes that go towards an art credit. With research, the University of Kansas and Kansas State University include dance as part of their School of Arts. Academic Principals Brian Schenck and Craig Moss, and Academic Counselor Deb Castinado have shared their views on making dance team a fine arts credit, gym credit, or becoming a zero or first hour class. Most agreed that since dance is an outside activity and not during a school hour, it would be hard to make it a fine arts or gym credit. "If we start with dance, then do we do cheer, then sports because everyone practices." stated Mrs. Castinado.

One of these Mesoamerican Indian groups includes the HГ±ahГ±u Indian people, also known as the OtomГ Indians. Due to a loss of the unwritten customs and traditions that failed to continue by word of mouth, many mask–making origins have been lost. Researchers make assumptions with the little information they have obtained from researching the OtomГes and other close indigenous groups. The OtomГ Indians associate many rituals with masks. Religious ceremonies and carnival celebrations often include masks. Masks were also often combined with storytelling, music, and rhythm (Bell). The masking rituals contain many religious and cultural aspects. The OtomГ have a highly diverse history filled with cultural traditions in which masks are used to represent symbols or spirits. Masking traditions display the needs, beliefs, values and desire of a culture. To be able to understand the Otomi mask–making traditions and rituals, it is necessary to learn and understand a little about where the Otomies came from and how they lived.

Part of a dancer's quest for perfection, is the belief that they cannot be broken. A dancer will never want to admit that they are suffering–a sign of weakness. Refusing to admit defeat is one of the reasons dancers push through their pain. This quarter, I polled my dance friends via text message if they would encourage or discourage their child from pursuing dance. I asked my friends who said they would encourage their children to dance for their reasoning. Their responses were about how they want their children to be high–achievers. The dance world is a place where only those who are driven, people–pleasing disciplined, Type–A personalities survive. Adherence to conventions surrounding the pursuit of perfection are rewarded with contracts and promotions. Dancers have amazing work ethics–a dancer would not survive in the field without one; this "can't stop, won't stop" attitude can be unhealthy, especially when a dancer's compliant mindset prevails. The studio has a distinct set of rules, and dancers learn these manners from the minute one steps foot into the studio. Dancers are taught verbally and through observation to always do as they are told. This leads to an 'authoritarian' teaching environment (McEwen, 2012).

The hemlines of women's dresses and skirts were getting shorter and shorter, up to the knees. It was shocking to the older generation of women of how much leg was now being exposed. Long, multiple strands of pearls and beaded necklaces were the style of jewelry to be worn. In this age, fashion was changing more than ever. Women now had a chance to express themselves with fashion. Women also had the right to vote, but some women didn't use that right because they had believed it was for men.

  • 37. Balanchine Biography In 1904 when Georgi Melitonovitch Balanchivadze was born in Saint Petersburg, Russia, the world had no idea of the ballet master mind that was going to be introduced 10 years later. Balanchine started dancing at the Imperial School of Theater and Ballet (Or as it is more well known, the Kirov Academy) in 1914, much to his dismay. As a young boy Balanchine had wished to become a naval officer or a priest, it had not been his wish to dance, he ended up in the school by mere chance. His sister, however, did not get accepted. Alone in the school Balanchine had to pick up skills quickly, early on in his life he had grown accustomed to listening and playing music.

However, his costumes continued to be on the side of basic, mostly just bedazzled practice gear if you must. He liked simplicity and would often be happy with the dancers in their basic black leotards with a skirt, which is still shown in many of his pieces today. However, one vital piece of information that is still seen with in his dances today is that he truly focused on the female dancers. He believed that ballet should be focused almost inclusively on the female dancers. While he wanted his male dancers to be strong and vocal points at times he would often put more emphasis on the female dancers, requiring them to have high levels of stamina and tolerance for pain. At age 79, 4 wives and over 400 pieces of choreography later, Balanchine left us as legacy in 1983. When he died, he did not think that his dances would last, he thought they would be fleeting and short lived, however, 33 years later, I do believe we had proved that wrong. With the assistance of videos, the Balanchine Trust and his former dancers dozens of his dances carry on ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 38. The Theme Of Cinderella The clock was alive. It had a ticking heartbeat and the mechanical gears wailed as they slid against each other.

At the clock's chimes, out dashed the fair maiden only to be followed by her future spouse. One item is left behind, leaving the gentleman in search of his one and only true love. Sounds familiar?

Like Cinderella, she went in secret behind her stepmom's back. Upon leaving the dance, she drops her cellphone and Austin picks it up and is in search of his Cinderella. Mise–en–scene is used often in this movie to portray irony. One scene has Sam picking up her best friend, and his Dad is polishing his car from hood to trunk. This specific car is his most prized possession and the director made it clear by showing him on his knees with a rag. Later on, his very own son, wrecks the car. Along with mise–en–scene, editing is important to this movie. Sam had to beat the clock and her stepmom to the diner. The editing in between the two vehicles increase the drama about who will arrive first. Along with the concept of Cinderella, the movie Cinderfella establishes this theme in a little different way that changes the dynamic of what makes up a Cinderella movie.
