At the dance, the American boys treated the girls with disrespect whereas the Latin boys treated their girls with manners. This was proven when they were dancing. When the Latin boys wanted to dance with their girls, they motioned the girls with a polite hand. The American boys tilted their head to signal them. Both groups also had a different melody rhythm to their music. Latin music is more structured according to patterns whereas American music does not. The Latin girls at the dance would…

following reasons: we got to dress up, the homecoming dance, and the parade. Getting to dress up turned us into kids again. Dressing up for homecoming week was fun; although it wasn't for everyone. Most of the people here dressed up,even the teachers, according to each day of the week. Each day was different all through the school week. Everyone had a blast dressing up.

One of the most incredible video that I watched to complete a Dance Observation assignment for Dance class is the video of: “Wade in the Water from “Revelations” by Alvin Ailey Company. This video was published on YouTube on November 25, 2007 and performed at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. This video is very beautiful and impressive at the first time I saw it. Then I keep watching it again to really focus on the detail of very movement and sections. The dancers presented a movement of…
they’re all the same in that they are a visual form of self-expression. At the end of the day dance isn’t something that is just performed, it is created and treated as living, moving art.

their dance performances. Hence, the different forms of art such as poetry, dance and music all have a way of creating a connection between the audience and the presenters. They are like a bridge that joins the two sides together and allows the audience or the reader to experience an emotion or aspect of life that at times might not have be acknowledged. Williams creates this sense of unity and allows the reader…
Dance & Ritual Dance in religion is highly variable and changes depending on religious traditions, geographic location, and culture views surrounding the body and movement. Court Dance is related to politics; it is used to reinforce the power of a ruling people. Ballet Ballet is a direct descendant of European court dance traditions.
