I hope you dance “And when you get the chance to sit it out or dance‚ I hope you dance.” (Sillers‚2010‚ ll.8.&9.) If you had the chance to sit it out or dance‚ would you dance? This amazingly‚ inspirational song was written by Tia Sillers when she was at her breaking point‚ sitting on the beach just after going through a heart wrenching divorce. It really is peculiar that such an inspirational and beautiful song such as “I hope you dance” was written at such a devastating time. As she sat beside

In this paper‚ I will be comparing and contrasting the three different dance style performances. The music for each of the performances is different‚ therefore‚ giving the impression that the performances do not share any similarities. Even when performing different styles of dance‚ one can encounter similarities. These similarities can be the use of space‚ body‚ energy‚ and time. The first performance is a music video by Paula Abdul performing a jazz. The music video appears to be very sensual and

Intro “Ballet is a female sport”‚ “guys who dance are mostly likely gay”‚ how do we ourselves or heard other associate male dancers with homosexuality? The reality of the dance world is that men are boxed into stereotypes that leave a lasting impression on them emotionally and mentally. Dancing is not only a career but an art form‚ and dancers are artist. The stigma placed on male dancers is tenting‚ which can inhibit the portraying of the beauty and purity of their art. The body is a dancer’s tool

eldest senior team members of MOVZ Dance Company‚ serving in a position of leadership has been a normality of the last four years.

Indigenous Australian art‚ music and dance. These three aspects of the Indigenous culture are also part of the Torres Strait Island culture who "together make up 2.4% of the Australian population" (Macklin‚ 2004). These people express their personal experiences and the Indigenous Australian history through art work‚ dance and song. For example‚ an art piece may be about the creation of the land. Music can interpret the sounds of the animals or the hunters and the dance be interpreted to the stealing of

Section 1: Dance is a profession that requires a lot of dedication and passion‚ and - when done correctly - can provide tangible rewards with multiple benefits to both physical and psychological development.

This week‚ I could think about the feminine aesthetics in a dancing body. In Witch Dance‚ Mary Wigman denies performing femininity. Unlike the conventional female dancers‚ she makes grotesque movements. For instance‚ as sitting on the floor‚ she holds her ankle and stamps her feet on the ground. It seems like an evil witch gets ready to aggressively devour her prey. Besides her dance‚ a wacky mask erases any emotion from her face‚ and a series of explosive sound generate fear and tension in her stage
