Dancing On The Carpet Analysis
From my perspective, I agree with Miki’s decision in the inter-culture story “Dancing on the carpet” by Christine Harris. I have many reasons that support my belief. Firstly, I have to admit that Miki’s relationship with Joe was good because it helped her to enjoy her Australian life and helped her to adapt better to the culture. However, I believe the author had chosen the right ending for this story by making Miki go back to Japan. Japanese culture features the respect for the family and Miki needed to follow that since it had rooted in her from the day she was born. In my opinion, Miki’s going back to her country means going back to her identity and her real person. Furthermore, throughout the story, Harris has shown that Miki could not

    Isadora Duncan Dance Analysis

    During Monday’s class, we focused on Isadora Duncan’s perception of modern dance and dance in general. Her perception of dance was to use it as a mechanism to search our inner souls and find its connectedness with nature (Brown 7). We began an exercise concentrating solely on our breaths. Since Duncan believed in liberation and individuality, breathing is an action that we all individually own and is used as a tool to access our inner thoughts and our souls. During the breathing exercises, I fell into a deep state of meditation, focusing on the subtle inhales and exhales of my breath, and eventually felt invigorated afterwards. With each breath, I felt a release of this uninvited ball of negative energy, which had itself wrapped inside my core,…

    Fred Astaire's Dance Analysis

    As a young teenager, I am unfamiliar with Fred Astaire and his work. However, upon watching his famous ceiling dance video, I was quite amazed by his talents. Throughout the video, Fred presented very classy, elegant, and smooth movements that captivated my interest in his style of dance. I honestly don’t know about the quality of dance in the 1950s, but it seems appropriate to say that Fred Astaire’s style of dancing was unique and intriguing, at the least, for his time. What I found to be one of the most compelling features about the video, was of the time period in which the dance was filmed- the 1950s. It seems that the video incorporates a remarkable amount of filming talent and qualities. The fact that, during that time period, the film…

    Clean Up The Dance Halls Analysis

    In the article “Clean Up the Dance Halls” Elisabeth Perry examines the age of the Progressive Era and the efforts by the reformers to get rid of unregulated dance halls. Perry adds how dance halls that provided “stylish drinks” and guaranteed popularity influenced many innocent girls to leave their households to embrace a life of alcohol, unmoral dancing, and eventually sexually relations with strangers. Perry also adds how the girls could not resist a man's love despite it meaning that they would loose their “girlhood.” One of the prominent reformers during this time was Belle Israels who sought to protect girls from being “played with” and sought to put an end to dance halls. As a result, the Progressive Era stirred together different social issues which usually led to controversy and tension as seen in the dance hall reform.…

    Two Ways To Belong In America 'And An Indian Father's'

    Both sisters, who were born in India, moved to the United States to receive a college education. While in America, Mira kept her Indian culture by marrying an Indian man and staying a legal immigrant to the US to stay true to her culture. Bharati decided to become an American citizen and even marry a Canadian-American man. The decision to choose which culture to adapt to impacted the girls lives in two different ways. Bharati had to deal with what her family would think because she was marrying a white man, but she was able to transform her identity and experience another culture. “America spoke to me—I married it—I embraced the demotion from expatriate aristocrat to immigrant nobody, surrendering those thousands of years of ‘pure culture,’ the saris, the delightfully accented English. She retained them all” (Mukherjee, 71). Bharati let everything she grew up learning, be pushed to the side so she could adapt and try to be part of the American culture and she was fine with that. However, her sister, Mira, symbolized the people who stayed “rooted in one job, one city, one house, one ancestral culture, one cuisine, for the entirety of their productive years” (Mukherjee, 71), meaning that she stayed true to her Indian roots and did not experience and adapt to the American culture, even though she was living in the United States. Even though they both experienced the hardships of being immigrants, the two sister’s views on life are much different because one had adopted another country's culture, while the other one had stayed true to her original…

    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…

    Trash Dance was such an inspiring film created by Allison Orr and Andrew Garrison. While watching this film it changed how I view dance as a whole. Looking at the film a recurring question kept popping into my head, what is dance? There is already a preexisting meaning for dance, but little do people know is that it is so much more than what people give it credit for. For me, this film broke all barriers of my knowledge in a good way.…

    Attack Of The Carpet People Analysis

    I've own this film for quite some time, like years and only not got around to watching it. Was it worth the wait? Kind of. It was cute film, though I find most horror films from the 1950's to be cute. Though it does have considerable charm, Attack of the Puppet People isn't without it faults. I also have to admit that I was a little upset about the title of films, since never once do they actually attack. Anything.…

    The Dance Floor Descriptive Essay

    The hot water pulsates on my back like a heart beat after a dynamic performance. My shower is over and my fun will soon begin. My girls called me frantically on the phone screaming about the hottest party in town and I am definitely going to be seen there. I search through my closet to see what I can wear. I pick out one of my favorites; it’s a sleeveless floral chiffon blouse. It has this beautiful pop art design of red, yellow, green, and purple flowers with a ruffled detail at the waist. It’s super sophisticated, cosmopolitan, and very trendy in today’s fashion world. I top it with the perfect summer essential which is some non-cliché khaki linen shorts. I love them, because they are great for my legs, making me appear to be like a flamingo, long and graceful. Now it’s time for my for the number one highlight of my outfit; the shoes. My girls and I always try to outdo each other when it comes to our “foot work.” I search through piles and piles of shoe boxes looking for the perfect shoe and at last I found a pair. Tonight I’m going to talk a walk on the wild side with my crocodile embossed, gladiator inspired, brown sandals. They’re fresh from Steve Madden, right off the new arrival section, they’re so debonair; and I know none of my girls have these. I’m still not done with my regalia. It’s time for the accessories that I know will be the perfect addition to animating my glamorous ensemble. As I look into my jewelry box I have absolutely no idea what to choose from. Ok, so maybe I will start with the handbags. Should I do my olive, oversized, multicolored clutch? Or my textured woven tote bag with the chain link shoulder straps? Well, since it’s a party and I don’t need to really carry anything besides my cell phone and lip gloss, I decided to grab my clutch purse. I suddenly hear a car horn blowing really loud and I know it was them. Darn it I’m not even ready. I quickly throw on some wooden and gold plated bangles and a pair of golden sage eardrop pendants,…

    Analysis: The Dirty Shoes

    Down in Old Toronto in 1895, there was a man named Thomas who stayed with his wife and his children. They weren't poor yet they couldn't live up the extravagance he wanted to provide for his family. Years passed and it began to feel like an endless loop of wanting and wishing for things that were yet to happen. It hit the family repeatedly over and over again, as if they could never leave Old Toronto. Thomas, now 45, was done with having to complete small tasks and work as a small man in the trade industry. His dark locks of hair covered his head and his face, forming into his beard. Eyes sunken, unlike any other man his age, with wrinkles occupying a little more than half of his face. The tiredness could be seen from anyone…
