Tap Dance in the public schools
March 7, 2010 · Posted by dancepulse ·
… is hard to do. No tap dance shoes. Even if I did have shoes for the kids, no way am I going to let the floor get scuffed up.
Nonetheless, we just finished some tap dancing, and it was successful, thanks to the instructional DVD Rhythm Kidz — Tap Dance in Tennis Shoes with Steve Zee. This DVD works in all the ways it needs to for public school use:
there’s a mix of kids,
the steps are manageable,
the instruction is clear and quick with repetition,
the video shows kids dancing, both in tap shoes and tennis shoes,
the costuming is appropriate and non-dorky,
each ...

Misnomer Dance Theater, Connecting People

Connecting People, Misnomer Dance Theater
Christopher Elam jumps. A 50-foot wall shoots out from his feet. Misnomer Dance Theater’s Director has the ground spinning beneath him. Structural forms emerge from his every movement, building a city through physical inspiration.
In the motion capture technology world, the rules bend. “In some ways it’s similar to what one might envision in their body while dancing. But the beautiful irony for a dancer is that you’re very much rooted in the reality of space: the length of muscles, how far you can jump. Only in our minds [can] we extend those concepts,” explains Christopher Elam, ...
snow not a complete disaster
February 24, 2010 · Posted by Widening the I ·
In honor of us getting even more snow today, I’m posting another DC blizzard dance video. (There must be more in this category! Send them to me if you got ‘em!)
Stephanie Miracle was in town to rehearse with the Liz Lerman Dance Exchange and had planned to rehearse despite the blizzard, but the power went out in the building. I love Stephanie’s abandon and playfulness in this video. And the fact that rehearsal was cancelled so she just went out dancing in the snow. Remember how pretty the city was during ...
Abraham Lincoln’s Life Told Through Dance – Bill T. Jones
February 23, 2010 · Posted by Ballet for Men ·
Check out this video on Bill Moyers Journal. It is an interview with American choreographer Bill T. Jones about “Fondly Do We Hope, Fervently Do We Pray.” It contains footage of the dance, which is amazing. It is consciously made for “an internet generation” as Jones puts it, and I think that comes out in the numerous visual elements and multiple literary aspects of the piece.
Watch the video Here.

So we showed the redux of 13 Variations on a Car Crash last night at Green Space Studio for their Fertile Ground Series. We only had one fan come out from our camp (yeah, we get it, LIC is a bit of a hike) but it ended up being totally fine, because we made some [...]
