Assignment 5 - Dance

Liturgical Dance

This is a great book about the ministry of Liturgical Dance!

1. Discuss why people dance
  •  There are many reasons why people dance - fitness, fun, expression, spiritual connection, to socialize, celebrate, or perform.
2. Discuss the difference between modern dance and modern ballet.
  • Modern ballet - variation on classical ballet, ballet shoes are worn instead of pointe shoes, based on the teachings of George Balanchine
  • Modern dance - theatrical form of dance, not based on classical technique 
3. Describe the particular period that dance began in the western world.
  • The Baroque period began dance in the western world. The Baroque period is characterized by dynamic movement, overt emotion, and self-confident rhetoric. There was also grandeur, drama, vitality, and emotional exuberance.
