The Indian Student Association at Southern Methodist University organized the 11th Annual Raas Rave & Bhangra Blitz (R2B2) on February 27, 2016 at SMU's McFarlin Auditorium in the city of Dallas, Texas. R2B2 is an intercollegiate Raas and Bhangra competition featuring 14 of the best Raas and Bhangra teams from across the country. The bhangra teams included, Alamo City Bhangra, UConn Husky Bhangra, Emory Karma Bhangra, UChicago Bhangra, Boiler Bhangra, Steel City Bhangra, UIUC I-Bhangra and the raas
artists have created works that integrate themes of historical events. Martha Graham, also known as the Mother of Modern Dance, has produced several renowned pieces with this. I believe that her piece, Panorama, is a great example of a piece that uses history that is timeless. The dance was choreographed in 1935 for students at Bennington College in Vermont during their summer dance workshops. These workshops contained unique American modern dancers and choreographers that shared their ideas and technique
of dance. It requires control and is the building blocks to many other types of dance this includes modern and jazz. Modern is a very leveled type of dancing meaning there are many levels the body is put in in order to convey the field of emotion that is needed this in itself requires the discipline that ballet brings to the table. Jazz is also very leveled but is more free and requires different variations of technique brought through by ballet. Vive Paris contained all three types of dance each
African Americans go through this everyday. In celebration of Black History Month, the Miami Dade College Dance department organized a dance called The evolution of african american history through out dance. Watching this performance was the most inspirational and admiring show that I have ever seen. The amount of work each and everyone of this students put into their work was unexplainable. Each dance told a story. Two of my favorites were “Sistas of Sorrow “ and “527”. They both expressed a powerful
proprioceptive awareness of movement experience (Roses Thema, 2007). This way the researcher functions as an informant from the field helping to explain relevant questions about an specific phenomenon. The ethnographic method has been applied by dance scholars, as for example Pickard (2015), Wulff (2008), Aalten (2004), Roncaglia (2008), Salosaari (2001), Stanger (2013), Wainwright, Williams and Turner (2007)and others, to analyse the dancer's perceptions, mainly with the techniques of data collection

The production of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring was made, to recreate the performance of the Paris premiere. Although, many people did liked the premiere, about half of the people did not like it. At the beginning of the ballet many people did not like the severe, and rigid music aspect of the ballet. They were used to the original ballets, with the smooth, peaceful music and the clean lines. Even with the disagreement about the ballet, it didn’t hinder it, they continued doing the performances overtime
referenced by Chiaroscuro was seemingly extended by Program Eight of the Here/Now Festival throughout the evening. Two ballets representative of “shadow”--Funérailles and Oltremare--were interspersed between the three (Ash, Common Ground, and Rodeo: Four Dance Episodes) in which “light” was predominant. Ash, Funérailles, and Common Ground were separated by pauses, while the other two followed intermissions. Not many would consider Ash a particularly distinguished ballet; but it is pleasant to watch Ashly
rhythms and energizing beats. It’s a mix of dance, music, and theatrical performance combined to create one electrifying beat. I couldn’t find a scene where the performers weren’t enjoying their roles, as much as the audience was enjoying their performance. The nature of this performance is live entertainment. They complete their objectives by providing the audience a wonderful time and teaches all about collaboration as a group. Throughout the show, each dance shows the character of everyone. What I
the ribbons on a pointe ballet shoe out from backstage onto the stage. The ribbons were the focal point on this performance. The dancers then became tangled up in the ribbons, almost as if the dancers were lost within their passion of dance, and continued to dance in perfect unision. The dancers would place the ribbons around their necks, like the dancers wanted to harm themselves. With the music, I noticed that whenever the music became very loud and busy, the dancer would
