    Jazz Dance Research Paper

    There are a variety of dancing styles in the world today. Some jazz dances originated from the African American vernacular dances in the 1950s. Some jazz dances can be traced back to the Caribbean communities. Over time, jazz dance has evolved and become a sophisticated type of dance that requires intensive training to attain perfection. Today, modern jazz choreographers, define the art and the genre as it exists, however, the techniques and the artistry of these choreographers have been developed and born out of the countless generations of jazz dancers. The jazz metamorphosis is traceable from the slavery era, and has had the transformations to what we see on the stages today (Lewandoski, Eric, and Leslea Clark-Zinna).…

    Martha Graham Influence On American Dance

    At this time, people saw American dance as a lower art form. Graham chose to follow her dream of dancing, even though she was considered too old to begin dancing. She was in her early twenties when she began studying dancing in 1916. She attended the school created by Ruth Saint Denis and her husband, Ted Shawn in Los Angeles, California. Ruth St. Denis inspired her to dance. ‘“I worshipped everything about Miss Ruth – how she walked, how she danced. Miss Ruth was everything to me,” Graham admits. However, Ruth St. Denis thought of Graham as ‘too old, small and not particularly attractive.’(Milles 51). Nevertheless, Ruth’s concept didn’t affect Martha because at the Denishawn Dance School, Graham worked very hard to improve her ability to dance.…

    concert report

    My second concert I attended was located at the Fowler Center Thursday, November 4, 2010. The Arkansas State University Wind Ensemble played several works, which gave to the title “Folksongs and War Songs”. Timothy Oliver was the main conductor and there was a guest conductor also, Dan Patterson. A classmate and I arrived to the Fowler Center on time and got settled, but neither one of knew what to expect really since we didn’t have a very sturdy musical background. Everyone on stage were playing their instruments all the same time and didn’t sound very graceful, but we came to the conclusion all the performers were practicing before show time. The lights began to dim and show began.…
