Dance music

costumes, lights, and the music. Two notorious examples of ballet blanc are Act II of La Sylphide and Giselle. In the ballet blanc Giselle, there were 25 ballerinas performing. The music is a classical opera. The ballerinas in this performance are very pale. The stage was very melancholy. They were all wearing long dresses made of tutu fabric. They all wore pointe shoes. Each performer had white flowers in their hair. They constantly formed parallel rows throughout the dance performance. One…

The theme of friendship is apparent in this scene as Phillipe is shown to genuinely enjoy Driss' company. The two were brought together by Phillipe needing to have a caretaker but stay together because they want to. While Driss begins to dance, Phillipe is amused by his antics even though Phillipe is telling Driss to stop. An eye level close up allows the audience to see the content expression on Phillip's face. The crow feet rising up on the sides of Phillipe's eyes even though he is slightly…

Professionals, create dance routines and teaches them to dance, is a career I wish to pursue, for the rewards my students will earn, the more dance they will learn, and the more activity the student will do.

Wisconsin-Milwaukee. A couple of things about me: I'm Irish. Very Irish. I did Irish dancing for 9 years & my 5-year-old is in her 2nd year of Irish dance.

each one is very different due to the individual emotions that the composers wanted to express. The overall effect of The Rite of Spring is jolting, shocking, intense, and jarring. It features rivalry between two tribes, primitive dances, and pagan rituals…

stars take the stage. The music starts and a dozen little girls and boys start twirling and craning their necks to watch their dance instructor coach them from the wings. Most of their parents aren't concerned with the dance training their children are receiving. A friend of a friend told them about "Dolly Dinkle's Dance Academy" and so they signed little Susie up,bought her a pink leotard, and told her to have fun at dance class. However, "Dolly Dinkle" is not a qualified dance instructor. She…

was a “revelation” to me. The Nutcracker is an extremely well known ballet, yet I had never been given the chance to see it until this year. As someone who grew up in the dance world I had always heard the familiar compositions that are found within The Nutcracker, however, I had never seen professional dancers move to the music on stage.

This intensely physical dance has a very interesting history and is a product of a subculture that was born on the streets of New York City during the early 1970s. Understanding the foundations and environment that created this dance is vital as well as its evolution into a modern dance form. B-boying and eventually B-girling can be divided into three main categories: old school, the freak and its…

Having grown up in the United States, the time period in which Isadora was in her prime completely rejected originality. The basis of her…
