These include Ecco (1971), Sequenza VII (1977), Poppy (1978), Nearly beloved (1984), Swan Lake (2001) and Shades of gray (2004). He based many of his works on his wife Janet, and in many them they danced together. They create their movements by feeding off the passion they feel for one another, and they can also relate to one another. ...“i can feel his movements before he does them”... As Graeme created and choreographer more and more works, he began to think dance was too ‘cautious’. He began to create his works by following his instinct, these soon became is best works.
The dance halls were perhaps the turning point in heterosexual relations since it brought the men and women together for a shared leisure experience. Furthermore, women had more opportunity to go to amusement parks or theater on their own and enjoy the public sphere as the men did (to an extent). However, the old ways of thinking did not just go away. The middle and upper class thought the new leisure time should be spent making yourself better. However, most of the women who went to the dance halls and other places were of the working and poorer class.
In the video, the dance looked like it was very easy to execute but having already been in the technique class all year, it is amazing to know that doing the movements correctly is actually difficult. May O’Donnell constructs her pieces with the use of spacial structure. She organizes her dancers so that different groups are spread out differently throughout the stage and at times she uses all dancers in one singular spacial structure, like a diagonal. She changes the organization on stage frequently so that the audience would be constantly captivated by the rapid action on stage. She also uses many other choreographic tools to keep the attention of the audience and bring contrast to her piece.
I will get to know each child, establish relationships with parents, and support their strengths as well as their needs. I will express my own emotions and respond to the children’s emotions, valuing their feelings and helping them express what they are feeling. But above all, I will make sure that every child feels secure in my room and are comfortable coming to me as their teacher. I provide a positive relationship with the child through daily routines and interactions. I feel this gives the children and parents a sense of trust.
Vickie Sears’ did a great job on explaining the Native American Elements throughout the story while explaining how Clarissa overcame her label.

Clarissa learned dancing through experience, listening, observing and doing. Oral traditions were very important to Clarissa so she attended the women’s traditional. Last but not least Clarissa maintained her traditions, native language and culture by practicing dance and expressing that she was
Encouraging and establishing student self-control through a process of promoting positive student achievement and behavior is what every classroom needs.

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?
Children tend to role play themselves through play playing schools and playing the role of teachers, playing mums and dads, etc so this proves that the way in which adults behave has a strong impact on how children look up to adults as role models. Having strong role models gives children security throughout their life. Teachers as role models help the child learn about rules,
In high school I was in the future educators association. As well as the class that was involved in the group. We went to schools in our area and helped the teachers and helped us decide if teaching was right for us. This meant that we had to make lesson plans, keep peace and order in classroom, as assist students when help was needed. This was a very pleasant and unforgettable experience for me and my fellow classmates.
