Dance Class Analysis

I have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity study professional dance in New York City this semester. I feel that I have been exposed to a wide variety of dance performances in different venues, facilitated by diverse organizations and artistic visions. Our in-class discussions have pushed me to think about the nature of performance and the unique ways professional dance operates in New York City. In this class, dance has been a unique platform off of which I have worked to better understand social

OK Dancing? Transactional Analysis Perspective Why More Women than Men Are DMT Professionals and Clients As men in DMT we experience too often being the only man in class, therapy group, or workshop. This occurs across cultures. In this workshop we will use the combination of Transactional Analysis and DMT to examine the cognitive and physical patterns associated with beliefs about what it means to “dance” and how this effects both men’s and women’s choice as to what type of therapy suits them both

Dance is significant to our society; the aspects of Modern/Contemporary Dance have adjusted the viewpoint of the society to view it as a perpetual embryonic form of art. The evaluation exhibited in this document will contain concise interpretations of the pieces performed by the "Mark Morris Dance Group", followed by a comprehensive examination of the pieces "A Forest", "Pure Dance Items", "Serenade", and "Dancing Honeymoon." The first performance piece was "A Forest", which the title featured a

I conducted an analysis on the notebook that the dance teachers use to plan out and detail the different classes they teach. The notebook I collected was my own notebook which holds the details for the two classes I teach, company member intermediate ballet and company member intermediate jazz.

The teachers then write out the class dates specifying the class combinations and lessons they

INTRODUCTION Dance Moms, in its fourth season on Lifetime, a channel whose main demographic is women, featuring dance studio owner/dance teacher Abby Lee Miller, is the flagship “maternal television” program to be examined in this paper. Abby is famous for the pyramid, a system in which she ranks her favorite dance students (top of the pyramid) and least favorite (bottom) directly in front of the students and their mothers. These three groups of females, particularly the mothers and Abby

Dance Therapy Dance therapy is a type of psychotherapy that uses movement to further the social, cognitive, emotional, and physical development of the individual. Dance therapists work with people who have many kinds of emotional problems, intellectual deficits, and life-threatening illnesses. They are employed in psychiatric hospitals, day care centers, mental health centers, prisons, special schools, and private practice. They work with people of all ages in both group and individual therapy

Choreographing into the Dance Culture When I asked my audience about what they thought of dance, responses generally jumped to the music, Ballet, Hip Hop, Salsa, So You Think You Can Dance, street dancing, the clothing style, the breaking, the locking, the popping and so much more. When I think of dance, I think of the different techniques of performing, the different tempo and style of each choreography, and of course the music that compliments the dance. According to The Journal of African American

Throughout this semester in class, we have learned the different concepts of Laban movement analysis that can be applied to our technique classes of modern and ballet and composition courses. The different concepts of LMA that we have learned are shape, effort, and space. I have been challenging myself with the different ways I can apply these concepts into my technique and composition in order to improve my technique and grow as a dancer. The Laban Movement analysis concept of shape refers to how

I have been going to the dance classes and joining regular parties with other participants, including dance tutors and students of different ages and backgrounds from time to time. In this regard, my ethnographic data may sound and
