Kevin Williams 5/5/2013 WSC 002 Prof. Silvia Ballet Discriminatory Diversity Everyone cannot make it into the entertainment business. Specifically not everybody can become a dancer. It takes pure talent‚ and the natural ability to be great at dancing. On top of that many professional dance companies want the whole package. Yes dance companies choose people based on talent‚ but they unfairly make decisions on whom they want in their company based on discriminatory diversity. I know many great

Then Versus Now After watching the Evolution of Movie Dance and Beyonce’s Split Screen Count Down I do believe that dance has evolved on the screen over the years. I think it has evolved because of the different styles that were and are used today.

Later on in the fifties musical theatre and jazz was portrayed in Singin’ in the Rain (1952) and Jailhouse Rock (1957)

The dancers would speak on a subject and it would shortly be followed by a movement. This performance was very thought provoking and heartwarming. There were many little pieces each of them preformed to

The dance started out with soft subtle music with a young lady lying in the center of the stage‚ while the whole stage is dark except for a light shining on her. As she is lying there many women enter the stage gracefully and peacefully. The mood that was being portrayed at that moment was peaceful and relaxing as if the women who were entering the stage were of the lady dreams. As the lady arises both the music and the dancers movements and rhythms picks up and the use of space is increased. Music
