Brown Annex, 122. Within and outside of school, this subculture performs jazz, hip-hop and other kinds of dance on events such as the Miss ULM pageant, football games and basketball games. Downright focus and readiness towards jazz, hip-hop, ballet, tap dancing or any form of this hustle and bustle will escort these dancers to a nirvana which will, if nothing else, put a smile on the dancer’s face, which in this cutthroat world is more precious than the One Ring. It is sad that not all the…

have forgotten. This is likely because of their experience and/or the style of dance they prefer and have been trained in. This was indicated in the dancer surveys as one of these dancers’ favorite style of dance was tap and the other had had no previous dance experience. Classical tap is very different from this form of jazz dance and may be the reason for one dancer to be less energetic in this style of dance. She may feel uncomfortable, unknowledgeable, or simply does not like this style of…

The formation of dance has lived on this world for many generations as we continue to pass through history. When I went to the wonderful performance at Pierce College I experienced a whole new perspective on dancing. The concert had many types of students performing mixed dance projects of all types like solos and duets. There was an average size of one to eight dancers per project which made it the ideal size for the concert. I really enjoyed the creativity and effort put into this performance.…

“man who saved tap dancing”, Savion Glover has provoked a stylistic revolution within tap dancing and has inspired many young dancers all over the country with his hip-hop-funk and jazz-infused rhythm tap dance style. How did a seven-year-old go from being a young drummer to one of the most inspiring, and influential tap dancers today? Tap dance is an art form that is characterized by its use of percussive sounds through the tap shoes striking the floor. Although the art of tap dance is native…

Dance to Live or Live to Dance Ballroom dancers take the floor and always seem to have everything together, but what is going on under the surface? Sure, it is pretty or intense to watch, but what does it entail? Ballroom dancing, whether being of Latin, Standard, Smooth , or Rhythm style, requires an enormous amount of skill such as concentration, memory, precision, and yet, relaxation. Since dancing is so complex, there are several benefits resulting from all of this training, including a…

paper seemingly go hand in hand even though I had no prior knowledge of their backgrounds when I chose them. Although it can be said that all of the old tap legends served as leaders in the industry for the future generations, this particular legend was a pioneer for African-Americans in show business and paved the way for my chosen contemporary tap legend to succeed. Prince Spencer was born in Jenkinsville, South Carolina on October 3, 1917. At seven years old Prince was inspired by King…

Dancing is one of the few things in this world that you can 't put a time table on to find its origin. We can guess that dancing has been around since the beginning of the human race and even before in other species. It is a trait that has been programmed into us as a species. We learned that beauty is pre-programmed trait among people that carries on throughout time from generation to generation. You must thing of another form of beauty other than paintings and sculptures, and that form is…

Often times, the most important thing for an artist, or student, to do is reflect upon what they have learned, how they have changed, what they want to improve upon. I say this, because for an artist to become comfortable in their work, often means they have not pushed themselves to grow. I also believe that being able to see how far you have grown shows an artist their potential to continue to grow. For me, simply being in Iowa City with new teachers has helped me to grow exponentially as a…

There are a lot of things that need to be taken into consideration when making a documentary film. One common issue that arises with documentary filmmaking is ethical issues. When people go to see documentaries, they are usually looking to be informed on some kind of topic, but some filmmakers might not use the most ethical approach to achieve that goal. Documentaries can “stand for or represent the views of individuals, groups, and institutions” (Nichols, 45). This can lead to issues later,…

Alonzo King's ballet,”Writing Ground”is a very free and and interpretive dance. The background is very plain and the dancing it very is precise. I liked the piece because it can be expressed differently and it isn’t a dance that's very predictable or boring.The piece varied between techniques. There was ballet,jazz,modern and even some hip hop. The music was another language and it really contrasted with the movement, bt it still looked good. The performance was intricate, but there weren’t…
