"Art in Action: Dance Series" Reflection Paper Last February 16, we were required to watch Art in Action: Dance Series which features the Brazilian School of Capoeira (EBC). The program contains lectures and actual performances by students from the university and guest artists. Some of the lectures given were the following; Introduction to music, benefits of music to the artist and audience, elements of music and intoduction of different filipino ethnic instruments. The program also featured different kinds of dances like ; Philippine Northern Dances, Mindanao Dances, Classical Ballet, Swing, Modern Dances, Streetdance and Capoiera. Even though a lot of types were mentioned, I saw that the program focused mostly on dances from our country. The program still focused on how vibrant our culture is and how it changed over time. Honestly, my perception of philippine dances changed after watching this show because I saw how beautiful and creative those dances were. This program really made me appreciate more our culture. I'm now confident in saying that I learned a lot from this program, not just from our culture but also about dance as general. I learned that dance is really a form of art because it also requires creative skills which are also needed when painting or in arts and crafts. However, the highlight of the show were the featured guests from The Brazilian School of Capoeira (EBC). Members of EBC performed and they surely left the audience in awe. They were kind enough to give a "free class" when they asked volunteers from the audience to come and join them onstage. All in all, the show was very fun and educational. I learned a lot of things about dance which changed the way I saw dance before. I really recommend that everyone should watch them perform. It's worth watching and everyone will surely have a good

    The Hopi are a Native American nation that resides in the northeastern region of Arizona. “Surrounded by the Navajo nation, Hopi’s have inhabited the same villages for a millennium and are considered to be the oldest dwellers in the land on which their reservation resides” (The Hopi Indians). These Indians refer to themselves as Hopitu, which translates to “The Peaceful People”. The ideas behind Hopi are carried out through the actions that are executed when following the objectives of Kyavtsi; “maintaining the highest degree of respect for and obedience to moral standards & ethics, so as not to knowingly abuse, alter or oppose the progressive order and cycle of nature and the sacred manifestations of the creator’s teachings” (Traditional Values and…

    The first thing that caught my eyes was the colorful and unique dance regalia or outfit worn by the dancers. Bright colors such as yellow, orange, red, and light blue wrapped around the dancers beautifully. The older looking male dancers were wearing the feather warbonnets on the head and bustles on the back. Dancers with striking multicolored beaded and fringed outfits were crowding the dance floor. Some of the female dancers dressed simple with their colorful fringed shawls. I noticed that some dancers even had bells attached to their ankles or dance outfits that they wore. I also was told that the feathers and leathers used were inherited from their father up to their great grandfather. The sight was so magnificent – it made me excited to stay for the show.…

    Regardless, public opinion on any topic will be expressed either on social media or in person. The dancer shouldn’t have to be on the defensive side and rather, do what they love. They can attempt to explain how dance impacts their lives, but they don’t need to validate to others why they devote their lives to dance. We can see throughout this course that dancers devote their lives to this art form because of their passion and emotional support that dance brings them. Overall, the interview to me seemed more of an attack mechanism and not a way for the public to understand dance as art with the funding it…

    The concert I am reviewing is named “Bailando” and was put on by our MPDC is the spring of 2015 (my 8th grade year).

    One day while I was dancing to a record in my living room, my mother’s friend who was a Spanish dancer noticed me and encouraged me to start taking dance lessons. So I began taking lessons from a prestigious dancer, Paco Casino who was related to Rita Hayworth. Before I knew it, dancing was changing my life in a blink of an eye and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. As I was turning nine, my phase as a Spanish dancer soon took a shift to staring in dramatic radio shows.…

    As dance, of all styles, becomes prevalent, an increasing number of people choose to dance for their profession and career. They devotedly train and practice dancing in order to show audiences the best performances. Audiences, as a result, learn to appreciate dance performances as pieces of art works. They become more willing to see how dancers use their bodies to express a special feeling or to tell a distinctive story aesthetically and exquisitely. Nevertheless, they seem to forget about a group of people who have physical defects and cannot dance freely as they wish. Amongst this group, some lost their limbs, whereas the others lost their sense of hearing and sight. Many of them, however, have one thing in common despite their different disabilities, that is, they love to dance as much as the able-bodied. Therefore, several dance companies have stood out to support these disabled dancers and offer them the opportunity for dancing on the stage. Amongst these companies, Candoco Dance Company, consisting of disabled and able-bodied dancers, has the most impact on erasing…

    The two performances, GINKGO and MARIACHI FLOR DE TOLOACHE, were extremely fascinating, fun, and inspirational. I learned that no matter what race, gender, or ethnicity all people can be brought together though a common love or passion. The mixture of cultures and races of people I met helped me to step out of my comfort zone and opened my mind up to what my previously Americanized brain had kept me from being able to learn and…

    Bamdad Dance In America

    Dance is such a beautiful art because it is not only something that we, in America, share with each other, it is practiced world-wide. In Baghdad, there is one dance in school in particular that focuses on using dance to bring people together. The Baghdad School of Music and Ballet has given decade’s worth of children the opportunity to purse their dreams in the arts. The country of Iraq, which Bagdad is the capital of, has been at war for years which causes a lot of fear in the children who are only trying to go to dance class and enjoy their youth. It is different to the other school’s in Iraq because it gives boys and girls the opportunity to work together instead of being segregated into different classes based on their gender. Amongst…

    Presently, Manoeuvres has been really active when it comes to what they can give and offer to the dance world. They hold a street dancing class in Trumpets Playshop Workshop, an AFP’s Teatro Aguinaldo Workshop and dance classes in Dance Planet Studio every summer. They also have a program called “Dance After School & Homework” or DASH for short in Dance Planet Studio. This is where they hold weekly dance classes during the school year. Manoeuvres’ workshops are truly fun and provide a very fulfilling experience for young dancers. I should know because I was able to join their summer workshop back in 2009 in Celebrity Sports Club. I returned to their workshop in 2010—their 25th anniversary. I was under Errold Amolong, former member of Manoeuvres and currently a photographer and videographer for Manoeuvres events. I came back in…
