Spanish Dance: A Cadiz Por Alegria

Danzantes Unidos is a festival where Folklorico groups across the country come and demonstrate their dancing skill, we also come to take classes from the best teachers in Mexico. This event unites us as a community, but I want to highlight as how the appreciation of your hard work can make you feel. In this moment I felt appreciated and joyful as chills ran through my body. I understood this feeling is what I wanted. Many people state that dancing is not a sport; although we don't compete for a trophy or a score, we compete against each other for the spotlight.

La Danza del Venado, known as the Deer Dance, is a ritualistic dance performed primarily in the Yaqui region of Mexico, by the people of the same name as the region. The dance illustrates a deer hunt, with dancers playing the roles of the hunters and the dying deer itself. The performers, otherwise known as pascolas, often wear wooden masks and bells. The performer playing the deer wears minimal costuming except for a headdress, usually of a deer, that can be quite elaborately decorated with many colorful accents. Various instruments are used to accompany La Danza del Venado, including a flute, drum, and rattle. The Yaqui Indians still perform it almost identically to the way it was originally choreographed. While the Mexican Hat Dance has

Dance is one of the most beautiful, expressive forms of art known to mankind. It expresses joy, love, sorrow, anger, and the list truly goes on for all the possible emotions that it can convey. Dance not only can express how one feels, but it can tell a story or even be used to praise a higher power. Dance has intricately played an important role to every culture over the course of time. Two forms of dance that have not only stood against the test of time but have influenced the development of other various styles of dance is none other than Classical Ballet and Modern Dance.

To begin with, dancing is an artistic and absolutely creative form of physical activity to express personal emotions to audience through the exciting and breathtaking performances based on standard vocabulary of movements. Ballet and street dance are still remained the most controversial dancing styles among the professional dancers. Though a proper performance of both dancing styles requires hard, strong and disciplined training, in fact they do have a major number of differences in other comparative

All human beings have a self: the ego or “I” that can think, reason, and perceive. It’s an independent individual that exists separate from other things and people, with an independent identity. (Velazquez 52). From an early age to the adult stage we are still trying to figure out ourselves, and our purpose in life. According to Velazquez, to find out who we are, we have to reflect on ourselves, others, and how we live (48).

You can learn a lot about a country based on the music that’s produced there. The music of Spain is rich in both history and culture. Many different musical styles have originated from various locations through Spain such as Flamenco from Andalusia, the Galician bagpipe music from Galicia and the classical guitar music that originated throughout Spain in the early . Spanish music is very diverse and reflects the large cultural differences between regions. The music of Spain has also had a large impact on the music of western cultures.(Music of Spain).

I have danced for the past 9 years and have and still love every minute of it. For how much i have learned over the past 9 years i have also learned a lot in this class. So far my favorite has been the hip hop combo that my group did. It has been my favorite because I really liked the music, choreography and style: and I don’t really enjoy hip hop that much so I was surprised that I really enjoyed that combo. I also like the 3 days of fitness, because it motivated me in so way to try my best and I feel that I improved the workouts that we did over the 3 days. The bones and muscles were cool to learn about because I think that it is important to know which muscle/bone is where and if you get injured you have a better idea of what you injured

I attended the liturgy at Faithful Savior Lutheran Church located in Southeast Portland on the weekend before Spring Break (3/13/2016). I went to the Lutheran Church with my parent, who came there as a guest speaker after the liturgy. I experienced a different but similar way of worship service, since they are quite different from each other in the concept of communion but very similar in general structures.

Children and their families that are involved in foster care go through a great deal. It is not only tough on the children, but also the people around them, such as their birth parents, and their foster parents that are caring for them, either temporarily or sometimes permanently. Catherine Lewis discusses the best way to help children and their families in foster care get through their difficulties using an approach that has to do with their relationships with each other, called the systemic-relational approach. Her article is a literature review called, “Providing Therapy to Children and Families in Foster Care: A Systemic-Relational Approach Literature review The article works as a guide for therapists who are helping children in foster care, or families that are involved in foster care (Lewis, 2011). Many children who go through the foster care system have postplacement trauma, so one of the goals of this article is to discuss how to decrease the likelihood or severity of postplacement trauma. Another goal is to strengthen the bonds between the family, and repair their relationships using systemic-relational therapy. Article wants to direct therapists on how to help families that are involved in foster care to succeed (Lewis, 2011).

On Wednesday August 26, 2015 I attended a Global Cultural event. It took place in Byrnes Auditorium. The event was named ¡Bailemos! A Night of Latin Dance. It was a night that we were able to come out to see and experience some of Latins culture! At this performance, there was a band, Samba dancers and Latino dancers. The band’s name was Batuque de Terreiro. The band was made up of all males. They performed and sung several songs from the original sounds of Bahia. The songs and dances were those, which you would see in Brazil. There were also Samba dancers to give us some more taste of Brazil. The dancers were called Movimentos de Samba. They were female dancers that performed and taught the crowd some of Brazils well known dances. Some of the dances that were performed was the Samba, Afro Brazilian, Axe, Frevo, Samba, Reggae, and Ballet. Lastly, there was a group of performers called the Folklorico Guadalupano. They were there to give us a taste of the Mexican culture. They gave us a taste of the Mexican tradition through the art of dance and music.

Baroque dance was a particularly important process in the evolution of ballet. There are many influences that are part of the process, such as the why baroque was created and the purpose that baroque dancing served in cultural context. There was an important shift in history that engaged people to want to move and it is an important subject to be studied. Baroque dance was quite different from the social dancing we experience today. There are different layers to baroque dance and different contributors that created a historical permanence in the ballet genre we learn today. This will be an in-depth observation of the baroque era with several different subjects of the era’s spectrum. Baroque, its definition and relation to politics and

Can you image a world that did not know dancing? When I asked this question to my friends, one of them answered, how can we have fun without dancing? People dance when they feel comfortable, and they also can dance when having fun because people, as human beings, have known instinctively that dancing with rhythm makes them happy. It is interesting that people all already know how to dance. However, we might not have an idea why people know how to dance, and where the pleasant feelings that you can get due to dance came from. Without a doubt, dancing was fundamentally not made in the 21st century. It was made and built by ancient people before the birth of the earliest human civilizations. Dance does not leave behind clearly identifiable physical artifacts such as stone tools, hunting implements, or cave paintings ( Champion and Thomas, 2). People have danced to pray and communicate with god, and these dances also have been an important part of ceremonies, rituals, celebrations, and entertainment. Even though time passed since dancing began, dance is always about communication among people, and they are required several kinds of dance style to show their expression.

Dance class this year was an incredible experience. I learned a lot of technique, amazing choreography (courtesy to Ms.P), and how to become a better performer. However, I believe that the most important aspect I received from this class was how to choreograph a piece you envision only in your mind at first. Throughout the Elements of Dance project and the ISP, I had the opportunity to work with different people to choreograph a dance piece with a story behind it. As a choreographer, I learned that when working as a group it is very important to use every individual’s strength in the piece to make it stronger overall. These projects taught me how to tell a story through movement, facial expression, and spacing that would be successfully passed on to the audience. I was also very happy with myself this semester because I felt that the lyrical unit especially, really helped me improve my facial expressions, and my acting skills when it came to portraying a certain character and their life story through dance.

“Spanish Dancer” is a poem that describes the thriving passion that all dancers have within them. Preferably, in this case, Spanish dancers.
