His entrance was always the last and most spectacular and included lots of people bowing to him. Louis was a good dancer. He was taught by Charles Louis Beauchamp who became responsible for the choreography in the opera- ballets produced by Lully and the comedy ballets produced by Moliere. Beauchamp partnered the king himself –dressed as a girl in Le Triumphe de l’Amour, which was presented, at court in 1681. This opera ballet is important because it was the first one to be danced professionally for the public.
King Louis XIV even played the lead in all the ballets that his court performed. France was the origin of what is now known as ballet and soon other European countries began their own companies. The nature of work for any dancer is being creative and being able to express words and emotion into body movement. Even though dancers have the one of the highest rates of nonfatal on-the-job injury (United States Department of Labor, USDL), dancers enjoy the thrill of performing in front of an audience. The art of dancing is mostly sought out for entertainment and exercise.
Chelsea Gore Block: 4 Music influences people on different levels than just novels, poems, and other forms of text. Music gets the message across and stuck in your head leaving you hopeless of getting it out. March 28, 1986 one of the most influential composer and performer came into the world, Lady Gaga.

Merce Cunningham Known as the great innovator of modern dance, Cunningham has pioneered numerous elements in performing arts. From chance operations and his infamous work with composer John Cage, to his most recent discoveries of computer technology and electronic dance notation. Cunningham has paved the way for future postmodern choreographers to focus solely on movement itself, while discovering new possibilities for dance theatre. With a career spanning over half a century, Cunningham’s achievements have left him with a reputation as a “… liberating force… for the entire generation of modern dance…” (The Kennedy center, 2009) That subsequently has made for the evolution of a codifiable technique that has become essential for any modern dance practitioner. Cunningham moved away from modern dance so completely that a new term had to be discovered, and so began postmodern dance.
The energy in this piece is what makes it so unique and not what we’re used to seeing. While watching this, you start to feel all the emotions that the dancers are expressing and you to start to feel a part of the story. I found Scene 2, “The Sacrifice”, to be a very deep scene. This scene is very dark and emotional that puts the audience in awe. In this scene, the dancers make well use of the circle formation and their dance movements are very different.
By the 1980s dance had come full circle and modern dance (or, by this time, 'contemporary dance') was clearly still a highly technical and political vehicle for many practitioners. Existing alongside classical ballet, the two art-forms were by now living peacefully next door to one another with little of the rivalry and antipathy of previous eras. In a cleverly designed comment on this ongoing rivalry the brilliant collaboration of Twyla Tharp and Ballet dance was ultimately achieved. The present time sees us still in the very competitive artistic atmosphere where choreographers compete to produce the most shocking work, however, there are still glimpses of beauty to be had, and much incredible dancing in an age where dance

Yoon Williy The hardships and sacrifices I have made in order to be good at Dancing is a great form of exercise and also provides a great way to express yourself through music and movement. Break dancing originated from the famous legendary singer, James Brown. It also came from the subways of the Big Apple, New York City. Break dancing was a type of dance that gave an individual the chance to express his/her expression through dance.
