Hip Hop Line Dance: Exciting And A Workout

Tap dance is an uniquely American dance form. The percussive use of one’s feet combined with the use of rhythms and amplification of sound, has a complex history that involves the intercultural fusions of English, Irish and African musical and dance traditions. The evolution of tap dance in America is further complicated by issues of race, class and gender. Unlike ballet with its formal technique, tap dance emerged from people listening to and watching each other dance, in a variety of settings, where steps were shared, stolen and reinvented. Through its metamorphosis the dance form has progressed from local entertainment, to Vaudeville shows, to Broadway shows, to the Silver Screen and to Concert Halls across the world. The legacy of the art form is characterized by the rise, fall and reemergence of popularity. Savion Glover, a 21st century American dancer, is credited with bringing tap into a new era of popularity as he has wowed the masses with his unique style focusing on African American rhythms. Tap dance, uniquely American in that it is a true melting pot of dance forms, is a dance form rich in rhythms, sounds and amplifications and has transcended social and cultural barriers.

3. Given that this “visit” was more like a virtual experience, I was still able to access a couple of my senses, just as if I was at the actual exhibition. Through the use of anecdotes and detailed images, I am able to see all of the personal experiences an individual had while practicing a particular dance and what it meant to them. In this exhibition, there are ten different dances displayed, including the: Yup´ik Yurapiaq and the Quyana (Thank You) Song Dance, Yakama Girl’s Fancy Shawl Dance, Cubeo Óyne Dance, Yoreme Pajko’ora Dance, Mapuche Mütrüm Purun, Tlingit Ku.éex ' Entrance Dance, Lakota Men’s Northern Traditional Dance, Seminole Stomp Dance, Hopi Butterfly Dance, and finally, Quechua Danza de Tijeras (Scissor Dance). All parts of the exhibit were insightful, but the two that sparked my interest the most were the Yup´ik Yurapiaq and the Quyana (Thank You) Song Dance and the Quechua Danza de Tijeras (Scissor Dance).

1920s Dance Styles During the 1920s, dancing was one of the main forms of entertainment. There were lots of new dances introduced during this time. It became the newest craze of the 1920s. People would dance anywhere they could, but mainly in their homes, clubs, parties, and during competitions. These new dances captivated the nation, because they were easy to learn, promoted new types of clothing, and assisted in the advancement of entertainment.

Some of the movements executed by the dancers are similar to those executed by dancers in a stepping performance and also in a tap dance presentation. This presentation falls into the group of the new trends of modern dance, in which the choreographer are taking more and more liberty with various dance combinations, and including strong messages in their work. I would definitely attend other dance performance, not only from this company, but also by other companies; and would also recommend this performance, especially to people going through a dark period in their life. This performance finished convincing me that dance is surely the most communicative of the art forms, and that a single presentation can convey more than one

Section B Line Dancing is fun, sociable and beneficial for the Youth Line Dancing is an activity that I recommend and encourage the youth to get involved with. Line dancing is a dance done to country music by a line of people (dancers) without partners, following a choreographed pattern of steps.

The 11th Annual Restoring The regalia that the dancers were wearing was absolutely beautiful and the amount of craftsmanship that some of them put in were awe-inspiring. I watched several of the dance contests. The Tiny Tots contest was so adorable and was great to see such young children actively participating in their culture. Another favorite was what they called the “Golden Age” dancers, where community elders took the stage. It meant so much to them, which was very profound. One of the older women looked very similar to my grandmother and reminded me of her. The centerpiece of the entire celebration of when the men’s fancy dance contest occurred. These were people at the top of their craft dressed in beautiful regalia. The realization that really struck me was just how modern a lot of the clothing and items were. Some dancers wore noticeable machine-made pieces; other wore bright neon colors that do not exist in nature. I remember the powwow (probably a little over a decade ago), where most of clothing was hand-sewn and beaded. This change was something I did not expect, but comes with modernization of any culture or tradition. Seeing how the dancers and the powwow itself have adapted to contemporary times while also holding on to the essentials of their traditions was so fascinating to see

A cultural event that I have attended in the past that has had a memorable affect on my life was a Native American Powwow. This event takes place every year, Thanksgiving weekend in Tucson, AZ. I arrived in the late afternoon, as the sun was going down. I remember seeing many different types of people, from tourists to the different Native American performers. The physical setting of this particular celebration was outside, and based around, one main circle. Drums were beating so loud, you could feel the pound inside your chest. Different activities were going on all around, such as dancers, vendors, and a huge variety of foods to choose from. The circular dancing arena is known as the arbor, this area is blessed before any of the events

Line Dancing for Cape Flats residents Introduction and statement of need The purpose of this Line Dancing project is to organise an activity for the teenage boys and girls of the Cape Flats where they can meet at the school hall every Saturday and be taught line dancing by professional dancers from the local dance studio. This is a good project to fund and will benefit them as it is a new skill they can learn and participate in and it also promotes teamwork. I was taught line dancing in high school and it is skill I will never forget and be able to use at events for the rest of my life. The youth might enjoy learning line dancing as many of them I am sure are fans of the TV show ‘Dancing with the Stars’.

I found it fascinating that one doesn’t need to know how to dance a certain style to choreograph it. Kathy Woods does not dance hip hop, but she still has created choreographies that have been in the finals for dance competitions. I liked how Adam said that he thinks that showcasing is a better way to show all the hard work put into a choreography rather than performing in competitions. I think this it is awesome that he loves to dance and enjoys entertaining people with his work. I thought it was unique how Kathy incorporated classical music with a hip hop choreography and created something that people enjoy watching. Something that I also found amazing is how Kathy has traveled all over the world. She has been to almost every state in the

Last night, I attended a live performance by the team of six Maasai. They’re from Kenya and came to America to share knowledge about their traditions and style of living. Their unique culture and traditions are still intact since ancient time. Another biggest reason they’re here is to help Kanye.

Lunar Festival at Discovery Green The experience I chose for my first cultural experience this semester was the Lunar New Year Festival at Discovery Green this past weekend. I chose this event initially because I was expecting the event to inhabit a prominent Asian population and cultural traditions. However, as I share my experience, I will explain why I ended up having to do a comparison of the Houston Lunar New Year Festival, and the type of celebration that would be taking place in the one-fifth of the rest of the world in Asian cultures on the other side of the world.
