Spring 2012 WOU Dance Concert – performance was viewed 11 May 2012
Voicing Acceptance
Attending the Spring Dance concert was a fun learning experience. I am glad that this was a required assignment for this dance class because if it was not required I am sure I would not have attended . The variety of dances have taught me different things, and one of them is that you do not have to do complex moves in order to dance. The dance I have decided to write about is Voicing Acceptance choreographed my Nancy Sorensen. There are many reasons why I have chosen to do my paper on this specific dance. I will discuss how the sound or movement, lighting,movement and females/males contribute to the overall success of the dance piece. First, I will discuss

    Liquid Lead Fox

    Throughout their lecture, Trevor Copp and Jeff Fox discuss and demonstrate their newly created dance technique called “Liquid Lead” and explain how this technique can help do away with the outdated idea that ballroom dances have perpetuated for years: that the man leads and the woman follows. The technique of “Liquid Lead” can be described as taking turns between partners both leading and following, and switching between these roles whenever felt needed during a dance. During their Ted Talk, Copp and Fox work together to deconstruct and transform the art of ballroom dancing. Both Copp and Fox find it troubling that ballroom dancing has the ability to lock people into a single gender role and thus define people by that single role. Within the lecture, Copp describes classical ballroom dancing as “gender training”, and that, “You weren't just learning to dance -…

    Dance Critique

    Ballet “Cry” simply showed to us real life of all African women. Every single American people know what kind of life they went through. Therefore it touched their heard. Alvin Ailey’s “Cry” presented wonderfully combined movements, technique and emotion. Ms. Donna Wood uses tragic face, a mask of sorrow. It is a face born to cry, but when she smiles it is with an innocent radiance, joyfulness that simple and lovely. She never tries consciously to please an audience. He was not only concentrating in movements and physical performance, but also using flowing white gown with a long white scarf for the dancer. A long sleeve white blouse is slim, to show the dancers body. Especially her movement and technique. It made dance more interesting to audience. This beautiful piece of modern dance consists of three sections. Ms. Donna Wood performed solo dance for 16 minutes from section to section. Her ways through the dance are different in movement quality that she gives to each passage. In this tribute to black women, the free sprit or the African women comes through in the energy of her dancing.…

    Perfectionism In Dance

    When I turned three, my mom signed me up for my first ballet class, and I loved it. Moving along to the music brought me joy and fulfillment. My liking for it has gradually grown into a passion. But over the years, I have also noticed a stigma for extreme competitiveness and perfectionism. Something that originally began as a form of worship has transformed into a celebration of the superficial and frivolous. Dancing often creates many concerns for young performers.…

    The History of Jazz Dance

    "Jazz dance mirrors the social history of the American people, reflecting ethnic influences, historical events, and cultural changes" (Kraines, 2005,1). When I was younger I used to take dance. I hated ballet, liked gymnastics, and thought tap was okay; but I loved jazz. I took jazz dance three times a week and never complained; it was my life. People all over the world are familiar with jazz dance. Jazz dance is found in almost every form of dance; even the Las Vegas showgirls are jazz dancers in some form. This style in dancing is full of energy and life as well as a lot of fun. Jazz dance has a lot of historical significance and the movements are unique to the form.…

    Acceptance of Others

    Recently, our school adopted the OLWEAS bulling training program. Every other Tuesday we meet with a select group of students and a teacher and talk about different instances and about ourselves. During the trainings that I have endured it has made me think about my actions towards other people and how these actions or words are portrayed. One instance was judging people before you know them personally. As soon as you look at a person most people make a general note based on the way they look, how they dress, and the way they carry themselves. These are three things that I generally note when I meet a person. Most of these first impressions are changed at the time that you speak to them on a more personal level. I invited a friend to accompany myself and three others on a journey to a nearby town to attend a haunted house; I pressured this person several times to join us after he had repeatedly said no. I later found out that this person has a severe social anxiety disorder which prohibits them from engaging in activities on the spot. Generally this person needs time to prepare themselves before putting themselves out there with other people. Another instance happened shortly after the previous one, the football team had just finished a game and I entered the school building to return the film camera when I came upon a student sitting on a bench. I asked why he was still at the school and he replied that he was just waiting for his brother. We made small talk until he revealed a shocking piece of information. He had been taking depression medicine for several months due to his home life. This literally broke my heart in two, this student was my friend and yet I knew so little about him. Being accepting of others is extremely important; these two students are friends of mine and within the last month I found out two things I had no idea about and judging people on the way they look or how they dress is something we all need to work on.

    Acceptance in Society

    “Belonging”, being accepted, or having your image accepted in society nowadays has become a big setback. Racial profiling and bullying are becoming more and more common. What you speak, the way you look, and what you wear are things which people use these days to judge you. People will try to dress, speak, and act like famous people so that they may be accepted and looked at as “one of us” by the general public, and not “one of them”.…

    Professional Dancing

    “There is a bit of insanity in dancing that does everybody a great deal of good.” Edwin Denby. Dance has not left behind identifiable artifacts that prove when dance was created. It is not possible to place a date on when it became part of human culture. For billions of years people have expressed emotions and feelings through movements. Over the years dance has transformed into an art of great proportion in our daily life. Everyone dances for a different reason. Some because dance is a stress reliever and others, it’s a way for them to express themselves, but for professionals it’s because they cannot live without it. To become a professional dancer it takes hours of practice in a studio and the acceptance of not becoming a huge star with a lot of money. To embark on the journey to become a professional dancer the first decision to make is what style of dance, after the decision is made the next step is to find a dance studio, during the training in the studio cross training will be needed to become stronger and more flexible, the finance, competitions and injuries are all ideas to consider before committing to a vigorous but rewarding schedule. Even though becoming a professional dancer has a high risk of failure and very low pay, the career can be very rewarding and enjoyable.…

    One Experience, Changes the View of Myself

    As I put my last glittery heel on and look at myself in the mirror making sure all the pieces look great together. My reflection staring at me, like how a baby stares at her mother or father watching them act in their everyday lives. As I come closer to the baile (dance) I could hear back ground music bursting through the speakers, I get jitters and become excited. I walk in with my head held high and body straight, walking in with confidence. I see my family and friends already beginning to dance. I’m amazed at how much ambiente (noise or excitement) there is on the dance floor. You see I was never a dancer way back then. I never understood why many people enjoyed doing it, to be honest I didn’t really acknowledge it until one day my cousin Danny came down from Arizona to visit for the summer. My uncle had just opened up a club in Caldwell, so we were all so hyped up to go there because there really wasn’t anything for young adults anywhere else. I would always go on the weekends even if I worked that night, I really enjoyed going. I remember it was a Friday night, one of the busiest, me and my cousin Danny were standing behind the counter because we were helping my uncle sell refreshments, when all of a sudden this high beat song “Mueve tus Caderas” translating “move your hips” (Inquietud De durango) came on, the crowd just went wild, it was impressive to see everyone having a good time waving their arms around and smiling. I saw the most amazing dancers and I thought to myself “ I really want to learn to dance like them.” Me and Danny have been observing the dancers for quite sometime that when that beat came on again he asked me, “Do you want to dance?” and I said, “I don’t really know how, but okay.” I swear I felt like my heart was about to pop, my stomach was aching, and my hands were shaking I was so nervous. I think the most nerve recking part was trying not to make myself look like a total mess and embarrass…
