On February 6, 2016, our History of Western Dance class to a trip to New York to watch the New Your City Ballet perform a Balanchine production at the Lincoln Center. The duration of the entire show was from 2- 4:55 p.m. I was captivated by Kammermusic No. 2, performed by Rebecca Krohn, Abi Stafford, Adrian Danchig-Waring, Ask la Cour, and eight- male ensemble.

Hough’s career has seen an amazing number of highs. She became one of the ‘Million Dollar Dancers’ on the ABC game show called, 'Show Me The Money' in 2006. She went on to bag the trophy of the renowned dance reality show ‘Dancing with the Stars - Season 5’, and became the youngest professional dancer to win the show. But once wasn’t enough for the dancer as she won the title of professional champion at the same show in November 2007. In July 2008, she received a nomination in the category of "Outstanding

with small features; Degas was not trying to emphasize her face, but her minute features display an expression of hope, almost jovial in a way. The air of her expression conveys the quiet discipline of a dancer and therefore her passion and love for ballet. The legs of the dancer are long compared to her torso, turned out, as a dancers always are. This turnout becomes natural after working strenuously every single day, trying to perfect the dancer’s art; standing parallel feels abnormal.

It seems that no pair has ever been able to perfectly emulate the classic dancing style of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. These two figures formed the best dancing duo that Hollywood has ever seen. Though their personalities may have clashed, their feet moved together in perfect harmony; their bodies created an ebb-and-flow that few other dancing pairs have been able to master. Astaire’s insistence on perfection and Rogers’ effortless elegance made these two dynamic pair that many today still recognize

Inspired by personal experience as a ballet dancer and researcher (Dornelles de Almeida; Flores-Pereira, 2013) I plan to conduct a qualitative study through a bodily-centred (Crossley, 1995) ethnography at professional ballet companies, as well as with independent professional ballet dancers in London.

The children were about 5-8 years old and mostly girls. I had alot of fun teaching them how to do new steps they had never done before and seeing their reactions to me doing things that seem xxxx simple to me.

more about the program and how they were planning to evolve in the coming years. She was able to explain a BA verses a BFA in dance and how taking an emphasis on either ballet or modern technique could affect the courses that I would need to take in their program. I was able to watch about fifteen minutes of both of their morning ballet classes, one with Michael Uthoff and the other with Alicia Graf Mack. I was able to take class from Alicia during Senior Showcase and after that communicated to her through

Wall Street Journal Analysis: “Music Games to Bring Out Children’s Inner Mozart” “Music Games to Bring Out Children’s Inner Mozart” published by Denise Blostein sets the tones of admiring and benevolent. The article talks about a game called Compose Yourself that can help children ages 6 and up compose music without any type of musical instrument or music knowledge. “The game is very intuitive and easy to use” and it allows the children to learn and “play music”.

Imagine a dark foggy stage, with nine dancers, the women dressed in long flowing pleated skirts, clustered in a tableau. The dancers stand completely still except for their lips which pantomime the haunting voices of the exotic Middle Eastern music. This is how Sidi Laribi Cherkaoui’s piece Mosaic, danced by the Martha Graham Dance Company, opened. Mosaic was a mysterious, suspenseful and provocative work that embodied many ritual and mystical traditions from Middle Eastern culture. However, the
