Marinera Dance History
I can tell that you thought a great deal on each piece you included and what their purpose would have for your company. I love how you talk about the history of the dance as well as the movement of the dancers. You have brought a good amount of variety to your repertoire and show that you really care about what you give to your company. I especially liked the final slide, it was fun and showed a less serious aspect of dance than the rest, though the Marinera was also very fun to watch.

Great Job with your dance

    I was very impressed with the acrobatics and choreography which showed great dedication on the company’s part. With my experience in Avenue Q, I know how much time and work it takes to even learn and perfect a simple dance, so I would really like to appreciate and recognize the dedication and hard work of the actors and choreography of the company. I think those elements must have been a big part of the director’s vision and that the director must…

    Historical Context Dance.

    • 412 Words

    In this essay I have been researching and will be discussing the different contexts of west side story. This will help me to critically comment on the portrayal of Romeo and Juliet through the use of dance. West Side Story is a modern-day version of Shakespeare's tragedy Romeo and Juliet, west side story however is set in the Upper West Side of New York City in the late 1950s with conflict between two teenage rival street gangs of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds rather than Romeo and Juliet where there are two feuding families. The two stories parallel each other in many ways, for example, Romeo and Juliet starts out with a street fight between the Montagues and Capulets, so does west side story with the Jets and the Sharks, but instead of it being a fight, the choreographer changed it into a dance/choreographed fight, so you could see which gang was which. Another similar thing is when some Montague men go to the Capulet party, this is where Romeo meets Juliet. In West Side Story, Maria and Tony see each other from opposite sides of the dance and are immediately attracted to each other. Having Maria and tony meet at a dance was a theme related to the time in the 1950’s in America, it was a popular thing to have dance’s at schools.…

    Ghost Dance History

    After finding themselves devastated from being confined to reservations and dwindling numbers of buffalo, the Sioux tribe was left with little hope of as better future. They were desperate for any means to return them to their once great life of living free on their lands, undisturbed by the white race. By the 1890s, many took comfort in the preachings of a Paiute shaman called Wovoka. Claiming himself as a Messiah, he encouraged performing what was known as the Ghost Dance. The Ghost Dance was meant to be a way of combating the white race by ensuring that they would perish from natural disasters. It also would protect the Indians that performed it, ensuring their survival by gaining the strength of their ancestors and the return of the wild game that once filled their land (Nash, 504). Many Indians of the Sioux latched onto these preachings and took part in Ghost Dances. They believed it truly would bring them a better future.…

    Your story is every detailed, and you give us multiple examples and experiences. I like that at the beginning you talked about you dancing when you were little and about the tutus and jazz costumes. To me, that means that you have been apart of the dance discourse community for a long time and it is ever near and dear to your heart. However, I think you need to make what your discourse community is more known because from your story I can not tell what it is.…

    I really enjoyed reading your essay and I could identify myself in many points there. I was also a very shy girl and I used to love dance! I didn't go so far as you in my dance classes, but it is very interesting the way you describe how you were able to communicate through the dance everything you couldn't through the words. you really touched me with your essay as I could picture myself as that little girl. I just think you could make you argument a little more clear for readers that don't have the same degree of identification as me and you could include also a little more censorial description to get the readers more involved about the importance of dancing in your life and what kind of sensations dancing used to bring to you. Overall,…

    Modern Dance

    • 3 Pages

    Modern dance in my eyes is a form of dance which focuses on the serious expression of the inner emotions, using a free-flowing, interpretive style, rather than following the rigid rules characteristics of many dance disciplines. When modern dance first developed at the turn of the 20th century, it was considered extremely radical and iconoclastic; over the years since, modern dance has become more closely mingled with other disciplines like jazz dance, ballet, and tap, and some dancers work in both modern and classical dance styles, drawing techniques from both.…
