A History of Pointe Shoes and Pointe Technique
A history of pointe shoes is also a history of pointe technique. They evolved together; they created each other. But the pointe shoe itself is seldom given recognition for its role in steering the development of technique. Andros on Ballet A collection of articles about ballet history and classical ballet technique. Dick Andros is a ballet teacher and writer based in New York City that provides this site to share the knowledge and stories he has accumulated through his long career as a dancer and teacher. Ballet History Timeline Time table for world history events compared to historical ballet events such as the birth of Balanchine, Alicia Markova, Melissa Hayden or primier ballets like Paquita or Swan Lake. Chinese Dance History Chinese dance dates back nearly 5000 years. As in most cultures, Chinese dance is closely linked to and reflective of life experiences and concerns. Thus the dances can be divided into (1) CEREMONIAL; for praying to the gods for bountiful harvests, (2) DRAMATIC; for reporting and commemorating historical events, (3) MARTIAL; for demonstrating fighting techniques, and (4) AGRICULTURAL; for celebrating nature and work. History of Dance Notation The debate about the necessity of dance notation is pertinent in an age where it proves quicker and cheaper to record a performance on a Camcorder. However, the role of dance notation has always been a contentious one; its position marginal when considered against the pervasive oral tradition of ballet. This must in part be attributed to the sporadic development of a workable system, as well as to the fluctuating fortunes of dance as an art in Western culture. Save As Dance Dance/USA advances the art form of dance by addressing the needs, concerns and interests of the professional dance community. Società di Danza Focuses on historical research on Nineteenth Century and historical dance to reconstruct a dance system belonging to the European tradition. Society of Dance History Scholars A not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting study, research, discussion, performance, and publication in dance history and related fields.

Genesis Verses 1-15. Just as the Word was translated in the Bible from Greek into English, this music CD is the Word translated from English into music. The melody is unaltered, straight from the King James version of the Bible. Each letter of the alphabet is assigned a musical note, so each word has it's own unique musical "spelling" just as it does in English or any other language. Played by an oboe, the melody is beautiful and lyrical. A wonderful meditation and relaxation aid. |
