Ballet technique

I attended the performance entitled, Urban Ballet, at the Houston City Dance Studio. The studio is located near the Heights of Downtown Houston. Unbeknown to me, the show I saw on Saturday was their last performance. It consists of assorted styles of dance depicting the struggles of being an African-American using the music of Tupac.

The Migrating Motion dance concert was extraordinary to watch in terms of analyzing the movements and positions that these dancers utilized throughout their performances. Everything was perfectly choreographed and corresponded with the appropriate song. For example, whenever there was a heartbeat tune, the dancers would motion their bodies to be in perfect sync with the sound. Additionally, with respect to the heart beat tune, the lighting was dim except for the dancers in the middle of the…

negative, but here's a bit I wrote about the NYCB costume gala... I saw the NYCB costume gala program (not on the gala night). I thought Justin Peck's Pulcinella was very well crafted. It's great to see him tackling Stravinsky, classicism and tutu ballets. In my opinion, the costume gala is always a gamble. One example is Liam Scarlett's duet where the woman is so dwarfed by her costume that the real drama onstage is her fight with her gown. Why cover a ballerina's feet? The yards of ruffles…

For orchestra members…

I have also learned that I am highly responsible for my age, demonstrated by the various positions I have been given over the years. The opportunities I have received and challenges I have…

against my skin. I hope it never goes away. For the past fifteen years of my life, I danced in ballet, pointe, tap, jazz, and lyrical. This prospect challenged the norms of both the traditional Indian woman and the classic ballerina. Being Indian and dancing in classical ballet rather than in classical Indian dance is simply not done, for it insinuates disrespect for traditional values. As for the classical ballet aspect, the art has favored those who fit the ideal body- arched feet,…
