Especially during this day and age, melodic tracks are free to sound however the artist wants them to, without needing to adhere to a certain pattern. This ability makes it very easy for Disc Jockeys and Rappers to create endless possibilities and make their tracks sound however they wish. In the…

    Dance Choreography

    Although most scholars simply define it as the art of designing and arranging dance, American ballet icon George Balanchine distinguished dance choreography as “an expression of time and space, using the control of movement and gesture to communicate,” (Anderson 5). This definition puts emphasis on the rigid structure and body control required to successfully produce a piece of choreography, an idea not uncommon in the ballet community (Conoley-Paladino). Like Balanchine, modern dance icon Merce Cunningham defined dance choreography as “an art in space and time.” However, in contrast, he stated that “the object of the dancer is to obliterate” that art, drawing on the importance of…

    Hip-hop is a musical art form, created by African-Americans and Latino-Americans in the mid seventies. Its conception came from a young generation of African-Americans in the Bronx, who created a beautiful, prideful expression of music, art and dance from a backdrop of poverty. Since that ignition in a New York City borough, it has inspired people from all socio-economic and cultural backgrounds all across the world. When hip-hop is discussed as an art form and not just as rap, it usually is meant to include the four elements: the DJ, the emcee, graffiti writing, and break dancing. Some of these were around before the words "hip-hop" were uttered, but they reestablished their identities within hip-hop.…

    Hip hop is a cultural movement that began its journey during the early 1970s, among African American young children’s residing in the South Bronx in New York City. Afterwards, became popular outside of the African American community in the late 1980s and by the 2010s it became the most listened-to musical genre in the entire world. Furthermore, it consists of four fundamental elements, which represent the different manifestations of the culture: rap, turntablism, b-boying, and lastly graffiti art. The term hip hop is often used in a restrictive fashion as synonymous only with the oral practice of the rap music genre. The origin of the hip hop culture stems from the block parties of the Ghetto Brothers.…

    Daily exercise and rehearsals consist of repetition of exercises to achieve that physical attributes necessary to execute movement required. (Dancers as Athletes, 2012). I, as a dancer can relate to repetition. We dancers at Rocky Mountain Dance Theater will not move on until we get it correct. No matter who long it takes or how tired we are we will keep going at it until perfection is reached. Lauren Allaire ( a senior at SRHS, dancing for 14 years) says, “we condition every rehearsal which includes 6 minute planks, a total of 300 sit ups, 50 burpees, running laps and that’s only the warm up. I practice 20 hours a week to prepare for competitions.” (Abrahams, 2012). Lauren’s warmup shows that dancing is more than just “twirling” around a stage. It’s very exhausting and takes a lot of energy, most people would not be able to easily hold a 6 minute plank. You have to work extremely hard to be able to. Dancers go through excruciating pain to get where they are. Dancers go day to day, stopping for…
