ready for the curtains to open. Each performance was unique and I look forward to speaking about each of them. The First dance was Oh My Love, which seemed to be lyrical or modern. There was eight dancers, equally men and women. The dance was mainly partner work which I enjoyed because it was very passionate as they move as one and come together in embrace. The costumes for this dance fit…
females are not allowed to take the lead because that is the job of the male. If a female began to lead, a slight tension between the partners would be created because only one person can lead in order to create synchronized movement. The set rules of the male and female roles in ballroom dance allowed them to give meaning to the performances. This was because the partners were able to complement each other and create a beautiful arrangement of dance. These performances take up the entire dance…

In particular, the…
responsibilities, etc. The most attractive feature of the course was the blend of both physical and mental exercise. As a leader, I had to work my mind to remember signals and cues while simultaneously coordinating my body movements to match the rhythm and my partner.

By the end I had more confidence in my abilities and more familiarity with my colleagues. Some days I think it would…

1. My favorite genre of dance would have to be Cumbia. Cumbia is a kind of “street” dance of Colombian origin, similar to salsa. According to the definitions in the book and on the Powerpoint for this chapter I think this genre has a persistent beat of a hand drum and a shaker so it would be best if it was informal because it is encouraged to sings and dance along to this beat. This genre involves a lot of spinning and moves that shake your whole body. Appropriate behavior would be to dance,…
