Acrobatic dance did not suddenly appear in vaudeville; rather, it appeared gradually over time in a variety of forms, and consequently no individual performer has been cited as its originator. Sherman Coates, who performed with the Watermelon Trust from 1900 to 1914, was recalled by fellow dancers as the first acrobatic dancer they had ever seen. Another of the earliest documented acrobatic dance performers was Tommy Woods, who became well known for his slow-motion acrobatic dance in Shuffle Along, in which he would execute acrobatic movements precisely in time with the music. In 1914, acrobat Lulu Coates formed the Crackerjacks, a popular vaudeville troupe that included acrobatic dance in their performance repertoire up until the group disbanded in 1952. Many other popular vaudeville companies combined acrobatics and dance in their shows, including the Gaines Brothers.

In addition, I have seen a couple other types of hula that were not in a luau, but didn’t have all this fantastic elements put together. I really enjoyed watching the performance and being able to see the large screen behind the dancers showing footage of volcanic eruptions, lava flowing and the vast tropical rain forests Hawai’i has to offer. To me, it felt as if I was pretty much there with those characters and was almost part of the story as I watched it. My mind transformed from watching the film to having wanting me to be in that time and place and relive those events. It was just spectacular!
Compare and contract two dance styles The history of dance One of the earliest structured uses of dances may have been in the performance and in the telling of myths. Before the production of written languages, dance was one of the methods of passing these stories down from generation to generation. Another early use of dance may have been as a precursor to ecstatic trance states in healing rituals. Dance is still used for this purpose by many cultures from the Brazilian rainforest to the Kalahari Desert. Changes in Dance Over Time... After the explosion of modern dance in the early 20th century, the 1960s saw the growth of postmodernism.
US Pole Dance Federation (USPDF) was founded in the beginning of 2008 by Anna Grundstrom and Wendy Traskos. It’s the first organization in the US to host professional pole dancing competitions based on a fair judging format. In 2008, there were no credible pole competitions in the US that determined the winner by a professional score system. Competitions were often held in clubs, where the applause of a crowd determined the winner.

It is about the beats you hear and trying to recreate them in the form of dance. Tappers are like drummers, marching to their own beat. They are not always the most popular dancers as the movie showed, but they are always unique. Tap will never die because tap dancers have too much heart and soul. The movie showed that tap dancing comes in different forms.
