Danceplus Spring As the student of Dance appreciation, I am so luck to take this wonderful class this semester because that gives me a lot of opportunities to watch many amazing dance shows. I attended Danceplus Spring, the show was on 23th April 2016 at Mason Gross. It 's a great show, and it impressed me most. So I’d like to talk about this show today. I 'm willing to talk about it in details; the show is so great because it gives me a new feeling about dance. That means a lot for me. I…

course, my knowledge of non-western influenced dance was little to none. My knowledge of dance was not very vast but I did have some knowledge, as I was a part of a Mexican folkloric dance group while in high school. However most Mexican folk dances are evident in the heavy influence that European settlers had on them. Although I did have this small knowledge of dance, I knew it would not be much help for this assignment. My background in dance did not help me a lot in certain aspects but it…

is also influenced by the social situation. Positive self-esteem occurs not only when we do well in our own eyes but also when we feel that we are positively perceived by the other people we care about. Think about Dancing Matt Kanye West as an example—he may love to rapdance for himself, but he also seems to enjoy rapping for sharing his dancing with others. Perhaps Kanye Matt feels good about himself in part because he knows that other people like to watch him. Social status refers to the…

My cultural artifact is my pointe shoes that I use to dance ballet in. I started dancing when I was three years old at a small studio in my home town. My parents thought it would be a good way for me to do to make friends and get out my energy. The past fifteen years I have spent dancing have helped shaped my personality and who I am.

1920s: Fads and Trends Fads in the 1920s were ways to forget the horrific memories of the war and live a new life. Games and Contests • One of the first fads was the ancient Chinese game, Mahjong but by 1927, it got old. • The new fad that replaced Mahjong was the crossword puzzle. • Because of this, thousands of dictionaries were sold and some were provided at railways. • The biggest rage of all the marathons was dancing. Fashion • For young women, the “flapper” look was popular. A flapper was…

Roaring Twenties Dances The Roaring Twenties is when many of the dances came out. “An era that is full fast cars, jazz, speakeasies, wealth, and wild kids quotes one the parties were bigger the pace was faster the shows were broader the buildings were higher. (Roaring , 2017). Some of the dances were the Charleston the foxtrot the waltz the tango. The dances seemed to develop from cultures combining and dances, traveling from shore to shore. “People saw the new dances in Hollywood movies and…

children’s pitter-pattering feet, the fresh, cool feeling of the wind coming through the door, and the beautiful sight of an empty area full of creative potential, makes it a perfect Sunday evening for my dance instructor. I sit in the center of the empty dance studio with my ears wide open as my dance instructor sits by my side. She is wearing her favorite black, velvet dress lined with snake patterned cuffs, elegant pieces of jewelry, and black leather boots. She sits patiently, yet eagerly as…

second and third day seem to focus on the women and men of the tribe preforming purification dances. The fourth and final day has dances of friendship, games that they play, and it ends with the tribe packing up and returning home with forgiveness and purification held in their hearts. Activity 2: Stomp Dancing Description: As I have observed, Stomp dancing seems to be a very fast pace yet meditative dance, done with friends. Done well into the darkness of the night, there are many different…

I believe that the purpose of this paper is to allow me to explore different cultures and the traditional dances within them that the people treasure dearly. We are not as exposed to the artistic value of other cultures as we are to their food or clothing, and from observing the cultural dances, I will be able to not only watch a performance, but fully understand the elements that go into the movements. The first video takes place in Havana, Cuba in 2008 where professional dancers from Conjunto…
