During the past few years my attention has been held captive by the amazing ballerinas of NYCB, so I am not that familiar with the current members of the ABT corps. But I am glad to hear that so many of them are outstanding dancers. When we reflect about promotions we must always remember the absolute necessity for some dancers who are impressive to remain in the corps—both at ABT and

On Sunday, October 29, 2017 at 2:30 P.M. I attended Ballet Hispanico at the Detroit Opera House. Ballet Hispanico was founded in 1970 by Venezuelan born dancer, Tina Ramiez after identifying the need to provide Latino dancers with access to training and performance opportunities. Ballet Hispanico is recognized as one of the country’s top Latino dance organizations. Over the past 40+ years, it has provided dance education and outreach programs to New York communities to engage interested residents in a guided exploration of dance and Latino cultures by expanding their knowledge in aesthetic awareness, cultural appreciation, and self-expression.

I am an aspiring dancer. I am also African American, thanks to IoT a black ballerina is no longer taboo, slowly sure society is becoming more aware of dancers of various races, cultures, and styles. With the world of dance evolving and technology moving even faster, I want to develop an organization that supports and exposes minorities in dance. The job of Encouraging young dancers of minority race will no longer be limited to just the student’s parent and teachers. This organization will help these dancers connect and find support in standing confidently in who they are. The dance community is already present however not connected a possible. Through social media and a website, this organization will bring together minorities in dance and highlight their accomplishments. In addition everyone can be informed of what going on in dance culture. Individuals apart of this community can get first hand advice from dancing professionals.

Abby Payne at Lake Travis High School claims her team is all about the show. They do football, contest, and spring show but spring show is the team’s favorite. One thing that seemed unique about her team is that they devote an entire group or the “Elite team” to preparing the dancers who want to dance collegiately. This is a great idea when you are in an area like Lake Travis because those dancers work hard in both academics and dance so they are more likely to attend prestigious schools that have excellent dance teams. It is a wonderful that Abby is taking steps to set them up for success in their future. Another thing that is interesting to me is that Abby encourages them to be in other organizations and to involve themselves in other things besides dance team so they can build their resumes. From my experience a lot of directors prefer their dancers keep the dance team as the number one priority and to not make too many other time commitments that take away from their devotion to the team. It’s very generous of Abby to allow the kids to take these opportunities to further prepare them for their future. The thing

On April 14, 2017, my friend and I visited for the first time Salt Lake City Community College dance company’s annual performance. The show was presented at the Grand Theater at the South City Campus of the college. The performance’s name “Moving Words” imply what the audience was about to experience. “Moving Words” consists of 18 different dances and each of those dances brought a unique feeling to the overall performance. I thought that the dancers and choreographers have done an amazing job. However, after seeing all the different dances there were two that stuck together with me, because of the ideas and the morals these dances introduced.

On February 2, 2017, I was given the opportunity to view Innovative Works, performed by Charlotte Ballet, and created by Jean-Pierre Bonnefoux, in the Patricia McBride and Jean-Pierre Bonnefoux Center for Dance. Charlotte Ballet has been around Charlotte, North Carolina for twenty-five years as a professional company. Bonnefoux created the performance to announce the passion and intensity of each movement the dancer’s performed along with assistance from Mark Diamond, Sasha Janes, Sarah Harkins, and David Ingram. Before viewing the performance, the Dance Department of Coker College was given a tour around the building. During the tour, information was provided about how long the company has existed, we were able to visit the costume design

As a serious musician, I understand the importance of sharing the arts with people of all ages and backgrounds. Arts organizations play a major role imparting the beauty of the arts and culture to audiences and to our society. This is the world I choose to be a part of. I am a strong advocate for arts performance and education, and I am confident my passion and enthusiasm will help the advancement of the arts in our community and beyond. The MA/MBA program at College-Conservatory of Music will prepare me to do

That mocumentary Razzle Dazzle directed by Darren Ashward and the documentary First Position directed by Bess Kargmam effectively explores the world of dance in numerous different ways. The characterization throughout each film is tremendously different as they focus on different personalities and physiognomies. Though the film techniques on both Razzle Dazzle and first position both share similar camera angles and features throughout the films. Both the documentary and mocumentary paints a dazzling picture of the struggles and triumphs of dancers who have dreams. The theme of competiveness runs throughout Fist Position and Razzle Dazzle in different ways.

The last of the charities covered in this paper is Pennsylvania Ballet. Conceived in 1963, this ballet company has been “at the forefront of dance in America and is widely regarded as one of the premier ballet companies in the nation.”( Charity

In a couple of years that mantle would move to Europe yet it was Robert Joffrey's effective little organization that pushed those progressions and open new boondocks for ballet. American specialists who changed their artistic expression, as well as found a crowd of people. Joffrey: Mavericks of American Dance, a genuine history of the Joffrey Ballet, might be a nostalgic love letter to organizers Robert Joffrey and Gerald Arpino, yet it saturated me with an enthusiasm and motivation any

Although the term “dream ballet” is often applied to dance not within the ballet style, it is important to consider why early choreographers utilizing this form specifically selected ballet. Due to the theatricality of ballet, its use helps to enhance the function of expressing something when words are not enough As a style, ballet benefits these sort of more-than-real-life sequences “due to its heightened narrative capabilities in contrast to many other varieties of dance” (Petermann 98). And it is those narrative qualities of ballet that keep the term as “dream ballet” and not something else. As part of the function of dream ballets is to expose something more about the narrative, “it’s natural to refer to such interludes as dream ballets,
