It is my understanding that this social norm only exists because people have a tendency to avoid humiliation. We keep to ourselves and do not make scenes (usually) because we want to blend in with the crowd. Singing and dancing for all to see can be a very personal and revealing experience, one in which many people avoid at all cost. It is a general belief that by publically breaking a social norm we lose our dignity. I chose this specific social norm to break because I do not believe that is the case.
It was a very difficult time for me, and I didn’t want to talk about it, or know how to deal with it. I found it helpful to put music on and just dance. I would dance for hours in my bedroom until I felt better. I use dance as my emotional outlet, I am able to show what I am feeling and it helps me keep from bottling up my emotions. 9.
He “ranged freely over music, literature, art, and other subjects,” but could not agree with what was taking place at Coney Island. Critics like him who had visited the island could not deny the fun environment, but felt that when people arrived a Coney Island, they lost their mind and moral values. Not only were they concerned about human character; they were also concerned about the economy as a whole. Coney Island was changing America “from a ‘pain economy,’ where scarcity of resources demanded a struggle for subsistence, to a ‘pleasure economy,’ in which abundance was potentially available to all” (Kasson 90).

I approve this movie was a good choice for this certain class, but I would not recommend looking this movie with my friends on a Friday
By Gregg Russell TO DANCE I am not that old but I AM old enough to see a difference in generations of dance. this current generation is mind blaringly talented but scarily missing the work ethics of my slightly less talented generation as well as those that came before us. As most of you will dance for my generation or the generations prior; here is what was expected of us that we naturally and collectively, expect from you. NEVER mark. Why pay for a class and mark until you get into groups?
The spectator next to me was complaining how bad the performers were doing. She explained how they were coming in to early and constantly messing up. When the second half started, it was apparent that they were playing much better and hitting the notes beautifully. Throughout the concert and between songs one performer would go up and give us information about the piece that was about to be played and a little about their program. They briefly explained about the lives of all the composers.
I didn’t handle pressure well as a child, therefore I didn’t continue dancing. Now I regret not continuing because baile folklorico is a beautiful dance full of tradition and
From my experience when I attend a recital, the audience usually is involved with the performers and sometimes you cannot even hear the artist performing whatever they prepared. The environment of that recital is of complete silence from the audience, I felt as though it would probably be an insult to the composers if anybody was to speak while they were performing.
