audience with a glimpse at the evolution of formality in dance. Beginning with the Pavane, the dance progresses to the Minuet and eventually to a nineteenth century Waltz. After a quick break in the music, the performance provides a glimpse of Swing, Disco, and social hip hop dances of today. Although the overall performance intends to depict the progressing decrease in formality over time, a dance historian would immediately point out that one of these dances is incorrectly placed into the…
The first correlation came to my mind when reviewing Michael Jackson’s work and the reason of his success was he keep his music simple, it totally fits the idea of K.I.S.S. Target of popular music is everyone. Using the song “You are not Alone” as an example, the melodies of the song is very simple and it repeats the same chords. His message delivered to audiences via lyric in simple words. It is direct, easy to understand and acceptable for everyone from different background and ethic group.…
Introduction In 1983, when Cyndi Lauper released “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” on her album She’s So Unusual, it garnered so much fame that it became one of the most well-known feminist anthems in the country. Several artists covered the song in subsequent years, and Lauper herself released a remastered version.

Twenty One Pilots’ album Blurryface captures the emotions and feelings almost everyone experiences, but is too afraid to express. With its multi-genre track list, Blurryface could not be identified as one genre due to the complexity of the melodies, off putting beat changes, and depressing lyrics. The album should have failed in the beast that is mainstream music. However, bandmates Tyler Joseph and Joshua Dun of Twenty One Pilots managed to take their polarizing sound and turn it into a…
