Alonzo King's ballet,”Writing Ground”is a very free and and interpretive dance. The background is very plain and the dancing it very is precise. I liked the piece because it can be expressed differently and it isn’t a dance that's very predictable or boring.The piece varied between techniques. There was ballet,jazz,modern and even some hip hop. The music was another language and it really contrasted with the movement, bt it still looked good. The performance was intricate, but there weren’t…

Often now I wonder if this dancing is what led to my parents’ divorce. That split hurt a lot. Not only had my mom and my dad, who had been married for fifteen years, had…

Ballet Did you know that in 1672 all parts in ballet were performed by male dancers in wigs and masks to make them look like female so they could play both roles?

Point shoes are the main part of the ballerinas outfit. Female ballerinas wear knee length tutus to show of points and curves. They also wear leotards, and usually…

“As a kid, I always wanted to be a ballet dancer. I figured out pretty quickly that there's only one acceptable body type for male ballet dancers and I don't have it.” And well, that is true Enjolras thinks. Male ballet dancers are expected to be tall, strong and impossibly thin. He himself had only barely made the cut, and Enjolras had at least 2 inches on Grantaire.

revived Nijinsky’s ballet, his became acceptable and very well recognized as a master piece. The reason why at the first preformunce of Le Sacre du Printemps the audience raged was because they were not prepared for watching that. Perhaps to them Nijinsky was destroying the orchestra and ballet dancing as they knew it. After watching both performances, I noticed a huge difference between them. The first one Les Sylphides, was really enjoyable and relaxing. I was amazed by the ballet dancers…
