Gabriela Gorbet English 1304 Ms. Nguyen Dance; An art and sport. Problem: There are thousands of dancers in the United States. According to the Department of Labor in 2008, more than 29000 people listed it as their profession. Dance is a physical activity that requires the same great training and conditioning as many sports, but it's absent from the Olympic games and NCAA line-ups (Adams). Without traditional competition, wins, and loses, it tends to fade to the background of the sports world.
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?
Dancers tend to become emotionally attached to the piece of music they are dancing to and are able to create a story with their movement, they have to ability to bring a piece of music to life, which is why it is considered an art or celebration. “Dancers have lost out on many opportunities to show the world what they can do.” This quote from the article classifies as Pathos because so many dancers work so hard to become a professional dancer but they are given very little credit for their athletic ability. This is very hard emotionally for dancers because they
Explain how a Dancer can improve in Rehearsals to Perform in a Group When rehearsing in a group, it is very important to think about the music you are using, and the counts that go with that piece of music. For example, in my group, we had trouble with our counting. Sometimes we’d finish before the music ended, and sometimes after because we’d forget the counts. This can become a problem when performing because it means your group isn’t always in time with the music, which can affect the fluidity of the performance. Another thing we found challenging, was actually working in the group itself!
My assessment of the relationship between the union and the company has been very strained over the past couple of years. The company has a complete new front office that has no understanding of the past practices, culture, or the working environment because of that they have begun to repeat some of the past mistakes of other managers. In 2004, there was a major layoff and retirement phase with almost no transference of information and no one left to mentor those new employees. The new management team was truly in a hurry to fail and did just that costing the company hundreds of thousands of dollars in the process in failed policies and lost arbitrations. Currently, the relationship is full of distrust and misunderstands that may take years to
Bands traveled around the country to perform which could incur up to $30 in gas per trip. Gasoline prices fluctuated from $.25-.30 (Historical Gas Prices, 1919-2004) at the end of the Jazz Age causing travel to be quite expensive for large groups. It was cheaper for smaller bands to travel; so many large bands broke apart. Demand for live music began to decrease at the start of the Great Depression because families were too poor to spend their funds recreationally. “25 percent of all workers and 37 percent of all nonfarm workers were completely out of work,” (Smiley).
This backfired on the company and they franticly did everything they could to match what Bratz was selling to their old customers. They failed to conform to the changing of the times where other companies took advantage and started to become very lucrative off of Mattel’s stubbornness. There were several cognitive errors that Mattel made over the course of time that contributed to these decisions. Some of the errors are ego-defensiveness, illusion of control and cognitive dissonance. The company thought that since they had a lock on the competition for decades that they did not have to change anything and they would remain
The three facts to compare are team spirit of the dancers, kids’ life outside school, and test scores. Both of the schools in comparison had good team spirit but PS 115 was more motivated to win the competition by Ms. Yomaira Reynoso and Rodney Lopez. In the selection of who would represent the school, PS 115 chose who best fits who because ballroom dance is about two people specifically a gentleman and a lady. PS 150, on the other hand, chose probably those who know how to dance without considering the pairing if they actually suit each other. Also, Allison Shenaik was not interested in the pairing system because she loved all the kids and didn’t want to choose favorites.
THE IMPORTANCE OF AGE GAP IN RELATIONSHIPS Age isn’t just about how many years you have lived, your attitude, outlook and perspective all contribute to how young or old you appear to others. Someone of 55 can still have the looks and vitality of someone of 40 and if they have a positive outlook and optimistic attitude that could be more compatible with someone in their early 40s rather than someone of their own age. Here we look at whether age gaps matter in our modern liberal society and whether it is still a useful criterion to use when searching for matches. Socially acceptable Older men have always dated much younger women and it rarely raises an eyebrow. Dating someone younger makes men feel younger themselves and is commonly regarded as a symbol of continuing vitality.
