Music that is used when performing a lyrical dance piece is slow tempo versions of pop, hip-hop, and techno. Most songs that are used actually has lyrics. Dancers use motion to interpret the music and express emotion through the lyrics.

Aether is communication through movement, trying to send a message and is difficult to define. In the beginning of the piece the dancers use alot of typing hand and finger movement which becomes their motif, creating lots of movement and steps with the motif. They don’t dance in unison in this piece but dance through special relationships and the occasional partner work. Movements were very robotic and sharp flick dynamic in this dance, but some aspects were flowy showing contrast between movements which fit in with the white noise of the music. Towards the end of the dance they hold hands and create different movement that is more human like.
Some even describe tango music as sounding “off beat.” This beat allows the dancers accompanying the music to have a passionate and natural sensuality about them. Although tango dance may appear to some as just walking steps with an occasional spin or bow, tango actually has three main elements that are covered in each dance. The first element to tango music is the
Burlesque was often used to mock famous and well known classical theatre productions, such as ballet, which is a show seen by the upper class of the time. Burlesque performances where based on opera and ballet pieces but were adapted to be made more like a comic play or a musical play by using quotes from the originals and making them funny, almost taking the mickey out of the upper class. Parts of the history of Burlesque that I want to relate to our choreography is how it has never been taken very seriously and its having fun on stage, showing off and showing something about your personality to the audience. I think to have a successful showcase of
Strictly Ballroom Notes World of Ballroom Dancing Ballroom dancing is glamour but it's contrasted with Shirley Hastings (with over the top make up) screaming and the evil villain Barry Fife (who is lit from the bottom to create shadows and horn like eyebrows) - Dance Federation Scott Hastings Scott Hastings; Australian - which is shown by his Aussie accent and singlet when he dances in front of the mirror. Also a quote "Oh get off it will ya" Passionate - the close ups on his face as he dances Fran Fran; More natural in the movie. Comes from a Spanish community. She lives in a stereotypical migrant house and the setting of where she lives (which is near train tracks) shows she is living on the other side of the tracks.

If you are doing a happy dance and you are dancing without a smile the audience is going to wonder, “What’s wrong with them? This is supposed to be a happy song why do they look like they are don’t want to be here.” Even though it isn’t about what people think you have to keep in mind that you are dancing for God.

We learn it from legends and fiction stories. Still, the truth is that the pirates of the past were not just friendly one-legged men, but they were real criminals. They wore good clothes and drank a lot of alcohol. Pirates had many different ways of punishing people and sometimes these ways would be described on their flags which were called Jolly
Cocaine Kids showed how society views most drug dealer, with stereotyping them as gangsters with big gold rope necklaces, fresh kicks, and nice cars. It was a bigger chance that the Cocaine Kids would get caught because of where they lived, the areas that they stayed in promoted drug use. There was more of a risk of being caught for drug dealing that is why certain extensive procedures were followed in Cocaine Kids. It was to the degree of the market almost having its own “miniature society with institutions, laws, morality, language codes in behaviors of its own.” (Williams, pg.2).

A thunderstorm is a magical performance. The way it moves like a graceful ballerina. As the thunder starts it acts like the beat to the whole performance, setting the mood.
