Ballet (:

Hello again, im gonna write to you about ballet! Ballet which can be pronounced as ''ballay'' is a form of dance that has been around for many many years. Ballet actually goes back to the 15th century. Ballet, is one of my favourite type of dancing as it is so graceful and elegant. The dancers are just fabulous! Its almost like they are just floating around the stage. It has produced many great productions such as 'Swan Lake' and 'The Nutcracker'. The actual word 'ballet' comes from the French word 'balletto' which means theatrical dancing. Ballet is a very difficult dance to be learned perfectly,it involves years of training. To perfect the dancing you need the right shoes, ballet shoes or slippers which are very light and made out of leather, satin or canvas. Some very famous dancers include Anna Pavlova, Alicia Alonso and Mikhail Baryshnikov. Thats all for now, i hope yous learned your fair share about ballet (: x

Hello again ;

Hello again people, im gonna tell you today about how dance evolved from rituals.
As you know dancing as been around for thousands of years and can even be dated back to cavemen! Off course this wasn't the hip-hop or funk .. Im talking about rituals! when tribes used to dance to purify their souls or accompaning the right of passage. In most ancient civilisatons dancing infront of the gods was just importent as any other temple ritual.

In Egypt the priests and priestesses, accompanied by harps and pipes, They would perform movements and mim significent events in the story of God. They would also imitate cosmic patterns such as the rythm of night & day. At Egyptian funerals women would dance to express their affection for the mourners.

The origins of street-dance!

Street-dance, which is also known as vernacular dance evolved outside of dance studio's. Also in everyday spaces such as the streets, nightclubs, school etc. Street-dance is another type of funk & hip-hop, they began to appear in the U.S.A during the 1970's, they are still evolving to this day including the moves like, popping, locking, jamming & break.
