Dance Like a Man (Anmol Garg, Sec A, 20142025) “A woman in a man’s world is considered progressive but a man in woman’s world is pathetic”, this was the statement given by Amrit Lal Parik. The movie, thus revolve around the sentence, as we see, Jayraj Parik, who liked to dance was slowly and gradually forced to stop dancing either say because of circumstances or by the conditions of his father or the selfishness of his wife. The movie thus portrays multiple themes keeping the viewers engrossed…

Dance has been a friend to me that has taken on different roles depending on the situations that I have faced. Whenever I am faced with a stressful situation, I look to dance as a form of therapeutic exercise, allowing myself to release the anxiety and tension held within my muscles and bones. Since I was very little I pranced about out of joy, found comfort curling up my body to watch dance videos or stretching out my limbs to release negative energy. As I became more fond of dance, a strong…

Live Dance Performance Critique The performance that I went to see was Elevate at Lipscomb University. The show consisted of twelve different pieces choreographed by Maggie Pelton, Kari Smith, Tosha Pendergrass, Leigh Anne Ervin, and Curtis Reed. The performance showcased students who weren’t not necessarily even studying dance. I found that extremely surprising that Lipscomb even offered a program that allowed dancers to get involved. By doing sol, the talent was very diverse and defiantly…

every all-Robbins performance but I did see three programs (Interplay/The Cage/Other Dances/Fanfare, In G Major/Afternoon of a Faun/Antique Epigraphs/The Concert, and Opus 19/The Dreamer/Dances at a Gathering/Glass Pieces) and this concentration of Robbins works was illuminating. First of all, it confirmed why his biggest classics are staples of the repertoire -- they make their effects every single time. Dances at a Gathering never fails to draw the audience in with its mystical spell, The…

I was so nervous because this was such a huge step for me, trying out for a team where you will be performing in front of the school. While waiting for the tryouts to begin, the captains passed out numbers, just like a real dance tryouts, similar to the ones in the movies. Being called out, one by one, there were interviews that were taken into place. Later, groups were assigned. In my…

environment you must get to know the residents and develop a true understanding of the background and diversity they bring to the floor. One of the moments that stuck out to me while trying to build this environment came from a conversation about Indian dance and the Punjabi culture. I was with a resident checking to see how she was adjusting to being away from home when she told how she found her fit on this team called Buckeye Bhangra. Curious…

The seniors of the BFA and BA dance programs at the University of Florida put together the show Mind Your Step. This show incorporated many different styles of work from both students and dance faculty. This semester’s showcase was quite different the showcase in the spring entitled Being, which featured several very similar dances. This time no dance was alike and some looked as if they had been created by a professional dance company. The first dance of the evening was Psalms of Mass…

The stories in which were expressed so adamantly on the program and through the art of a dance entitled “Here we are.” This power behind the performers twists and turns and the pain so easily expressed through the creases and frowns on their faces, led me to believe that these dancers were human and had experienced events that have made them…

the “sweet” parts of the poem. One example of this imagery is the title “My Papa’s Waltz”. The dance is a memory between the father and son, it was the fathers way of showing his son he loved him. The young boy and his father would dance around the kitchen every chance they had as their way of connecting. Another example of this imagery is “We romped until the pans” (Line 5). The two would recklessly dance around the kitchen knocking things off the shelves while they were dancing and playing…

Overuse injuries, (as opposed to acute traumatic events) are the most common mechanism for injury in dance, accounting for 68% in females and 60% in males. (Allen, 2012) Therefore the strength and conditioning plan should focus on strengthening the affected structures without exposing them to undue repetitions so as not to exacerbate this effect. (Allen, 2012) Lower back strain is the single most common complaint of ballet dancers (40% exhibited it in one study), followed by ankle sprains and…
