Street dance

the cycle of life is celebrated since time inmemorial, its origin is lost back to hundreds of years before, in prechristian times. The oldest people remember it has always been celebrated at the beginning of November and the performance is played by street dancers groups called Las comparsas de los muertos, some of them in masks and costumed characters representing different personages related with the Death, the great equalizer. These parades are all played by men, playing roles of both men and…

to walk around town, which turned into this evening, which turned into 9:00 P.M. But we’re here now, in the plaza with the rocky plaza fountain still running. The cold water runs over the fountains and jolts energy into our feet, so we decide to dance around in the fountain because someone decided to bring…

Chicago is an energetic theatrical composition delivered to the audience in the form of a major motion picture.

Furthermore, the smooth transitions from scene to scene contributes to the fluency of the movie keeping the audience satisfied and anticipating for more. The breakdown of…

photograph from the ballet displayed in the brochure for the upcoming season. The greater portion of the dancing in this work, however, is likewise atypical of what patrons are used to at NYCB. Justin Peck’s “sneaker ballet” is a work of contemporary dance instead of a ballet. Divergent opinions about its quality and value are, therefore, naturally unsurprising. Even though I am as unfamiliar with this kind of dancing as anyone could possibly be, I happen to find The Times Are Racing rousing and…

For this assignment, I have chosen two Australian ballet companies: the Victorian State Ballet (VSB) and the Queensland ballet (QB). I will discuss their specialization, history, location, purpose and next productions. After that, I am going to evaluate their websites. The main reason why I have chosen these two companies is that they are two vibrant ballet groups from the New South Wales’s adjacent states (Victoria and Queensland) and I wanted to learn more information concerning them. Both…

relationship expressed by sound and image From the Return to Homs and from Treeless Mountain Abdul Basset and Bin show their relationship with other people in different scene. For my essay, two scene attracted my attention where Basset is leading songs and dances (from Retour to Homs) and where Bin and her sister are sitting near the fire with their Grandma (from Treeless Mountain). I select these two scenes because they demonstrate the confident and friendship or concord relationship between…

twirling bodies everywhere. A packed danced floor has everyone moving and yelling at once. This was my first experience at the Basque Center in Boise during one of the many festivals being held on a Saturday. Young and old are up on the dance floor doing traditional dances to traditional songs. As a first timer of course I looked ridiculous trying to keep up with the moves and this got a lot of chuckles from everyone. Even with all the laughter, it was all in good fun because everyone was…

It is often interesting viewing your world and reality through the eyes of other people, listening as they decipher and make assumptions, none all that accurate, about the facts, while you 're left to live those facts. Americans have a lot of opinions about Haiti and about as many questions too. As soon as people know that I’m Haitian, I get flooded with questions that I highly doubt they want the answers to: “Why is Haiti so poor?” “Do you do voodoo?” “Where does all the relief money go?” “Why…
