Amongst these techniques Ailey uses some African dance movements such as rhythmic patterns, isolations and grounded leg movements. The physical setting used by Ailey in his works varies depending on the theme of the dance.

The movements of the hands are very important because they are the imitations of a palm tree, war, plants, and even animals. When dancing the hula, you are transforming yourself mentally into the object you are imitating throughout the dance. Chants also appear with the hula dance. When the hula was first introduced, the chants were the most important aspect. Now, that has all changed and the movements are most important.
The Dance Ensemble returned once more with a fast paced African piece, also executed with such force and feeling to move the audience. The Dance Ensemble certainly enlightened many through the power of rhythm, dance, and movement. Lastly, the world renowned Morgan State University Choir took the stage with the power to move the entire crowd. They performed a few compelling songs entitled “I Know I’ve Been Changed”, “If I Can Help Somebody”, “His Light Still Shines”, “Set Me Free”, and “United We Stand”, all holding strong to the theme of this assembly.

The tempo was allegro, as I said it was very fast paced and made you want to dance. The instrumentation was fabulous, the musicians, Jaime Preciado: Bass, Tony Perry: Guitar, and Mike Fuentes: Drums (who is my idol because I play the drums as well) are by far the best musicians I’ve ever heard in a post hardcore band. They take their music seriously, while also having fun and never losing their unique sound. “Yeah Boy and Doll Face” As they played this very beautiful and romantic song, they pulled up a girl from the crowd and Vic sang it to her.
Status is extremely important and is shown outwardly by wearing things. My final observation from the art museum is about the rituals in African society. Most of the pieces of art were to be used at specific times in the life of an African. I saw items used for weddings, death, and especially for coming of age ceremonies. There were carvings of men and women with scarring to mark major events.
Blacks of African ancestry have stamina and endurance making them elite in stamina sports such as track, basketball, football, as well as soccer. As a result of evolutionary adaptations to extremely different environments that became encoded in the genes, athletes from different insular populations tend to have rather distinct physical and physiological characteristics frequently exceling in specific events.
