The Vintage Festival celebration, 80 years old this year, will begin at 11 AM on Saturday, September 24th with the bles¬ sing of the grapes, followed by historical reenactments of the Bear Flag revolt and the Vallejo-Haraszthy wedding ceremony. On Saturday evening there will be a gala Spanish Ball at the Sonoma Mission Inn featuring a buffet dinner, refreshments and dancing. On Sunday, the historical reenactments will be repeat¬ ed, followed by a traditional hometown parade with horses and costumed riders, marching bands, floats and antique cars. In addition to the festival activities, visitors may wish to explore the scenic Sonoma Valley, visit the wineries for tasting and tour and visit historical sites including the Vallejo home and Jack London State Park. Just 46 miles northeast of San Francisco, Sonoma is the site of the most northern mission of the California chain, found¬ ed by the Franciscan fathers in 1823. It was the twenty-first and last of these historic settlements. The town was founded in 1835 by Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo, a Mexican army commandant. Sonoma Valley is renowned as the birthplace of California viniculture. Although grape vineyards were first planted by the padres in 1824 for the purpose of making sacramental wines, the beginning of the California premium wine industry can be traced to the experimental vineyard planted by Buena Vista in 1858 by a Hungarian nobleman. Count Agoston Haraszthy. One hundred thousand grape cuttings of 140 European varieties were imported, planted and later distributed throughout the state. Todav .ten valley vintners produce premium wines of established quality and national reputation.

O’Shea, Chair This dissertation presents a critical examination of dance and multiple movements across the Coromandel in a pivotal period: the long eighteenth century. On the eve of British colonialism, this period was one of profound political and economic shifts; new princely states and ruling elite defined themselves in the wake of Mughal expansion and decline, weakening Nayak states in the south, the emergence of several European trading companies as political stakeholders and a series of fiscal crises. In the midst of this rapidly changing landscape, new performance paradigms emerged defined by hybrid repertoires, focus on structure and contingent relationships to space and place – giving rise to what we understand today as classical south Indian dance. Far from stable or isolated tradition fixed in space and place, I argue that dance as choreographic ii practice, theorization and representation were central to the negotiation of changing geopolitics, urban milieus and individual mobility.

Email: [email protected], [email protected] Introduction India is the country of Art and Culture. In ancient days the dances used to be performed mainly of two types i.e. indoor and outdoor. The indoor dances used to be showed off by the sophisticated Artists in the King`s Palaces for the entertainment purpose! In those days of Mahabharata, the dancing art was found that Arjuna used to perform dance at the Royal Court of Birat Raja as “Brihannalla’. The outdoor dances used to be performed by the villagers during any festival, joy, ceremony, worshipping of Goddess and most of the dances were from noble mind and aspirations. It used to be the group dances participated by the one and all. Hence gradually the Folk dances and Tribal dances started arriving. Almost every state is having its own style of Folk Dances. This art form combines dance, music, drama, instrumental music, facial and body makeup, martial art and ritualistic functions, composed in a harmonizing manner.Tribal Dances in India are inspired by the tribal folklore. Each ethnic group has its own distinct combination of myths, legends, tales, proverbs, riddles, ballads, folk songs, folk dance, and folkmusic. India has a number of classical Indian dance forms, each of which can be traced to different parts of the country.

    WALTZING THROUGH EUROPE B ALTZING HROUGH UROPE Attitudes towards Couple Dances in the AKKA W T E Long Nineteenth-Century Attitudes towards Couple Dances in the Long Nineteenth-Century EDITED BY EGIL BAKKA, THERESA JILL BUCKLAND, al. et HELENA SAARIKOSKI AND ANNE VON BIBRA WHARTON From ‘folk devils’ to ballroom dancers, this volume explores the changing recep� on of fashionable couple dances in Europe from the eighteenth century onwards. A refreshing interven� on in dance studies, this book brings together elements of historiography, cultural memory, folklore, and dance across compara� vely narrow but W markedly heterogeneous locali� es. Rooted in inves� ga� ons of o� en newly discovered primary sources, the essays aff ord many opportuni� es to compare sociocultural and ALTZING poli� cal reac� ons to the arrival and prac� ce of popular rota� ng couple dances, such as the Waltz and the Polka. Leading contributors provide a transna� onal and aff ec� ve lens onto strikingly diverse topics, ranging from the evolu� on of roman� c couple dances in Croa� a, and Strauss’s visits to Hamburg and Altona in the 1830s, to dance as a tool of T cultural preserva� on and expression in twen� eth-century Finland. HROUGH Waltzing Through Europe creates openings for fresh collabora� ons in dance historiography and cultural history across fi elds and genres. It is essen� al reading for researchers of dance in central and northern Europe, while also appealing to the general reader who wants to learn more about the vibrant histories of these familiar dance forms.

  • 320+ Halloween Songs and Albums
    320+ Halloween Songs and Albums Over 320 Songs for Halloween Theme Rides in Your Indoor Cycling Classes Compiled by Jennifer Sage, updated October 2014 Halloween presents a unique opportunity for some really fun musically themed classes—the variety is only limited by your imagination. Songs can include spooky, dark, or classic-but-cheesy Halloween tunes (such as Monster Mash). Or you can imagine the wide variety of costumes and use those themes. I’ve included a few common themes such as Sci-Fi and Spy Thriller in my list. Over the years I’ve gotten many of these song suggestions from various online forums, other instructors, and by simply searching online music sources for “Halloween”, “James Bond”, “Witch”, “Ghost” and other key words. This is my most comprehensive list to date. If you have more song ideas, please email them to me so I can continually update this list for future versions. [email protected]. This year’s playlist contains 50 new specific song suggestions and numerous new album suggestions. I’ve included a lot more from the “darkwave” and “gothic” genres. I’ve added “Sugar/Candy” as its own theme. Sources: It’s impossible to list multiple sources for every song but to speed the process up for you, we list at least one source so you don’t spend hours searching for these songs. As with music itself, you have your own preference for downloading sources, so you may want to check there first. Also, some countries may not have the same music available due to music rights.

    FOLK DANCING ,.,./ C-, -; --;:7 . ,7 The folk dance as we know it is mostly peasant dances, as opposed to court, theatrical or ballroom dances, although it has absorbed some aspects of the other types of dancing. Folk dancing began in this country when per- Fqns of many nationalities came here bringing with them their countries1 . aces. Since most of the immigrants to the U. S. came from Europe, most Ameri- can folk dance has European roots. Folk dancing was a natural, spontaneous expression by the people. Children learned by watching and imitating the adults, thereby maintaining tradition. Some additional steps might have been invented by someone, but the basic pattern of tradition was not changed. In addition to dances being handed down from generation to generation in peasant villages, there are other sources of folk dances being done today. Some folk dance leaders take movements from several villages, put them together and choreograph dances incorporating all the movements. They are then new dances but not characteristic of any particular village. Choreographed dances are also made up by using steps that have been han- ded down but put in different formations or combinations to become new dances --folk dances because they use the same styling and same movements as peasant dances but, at the same time, fresh, new dances. An instructor might also revive old, almost forgotten dances. He would use folk movements he knows in a way he thinks the dances would be done by the villagers. Music plays a part in the creating of folk dances, too. Sometimes music so well liked that spontaneous dances are made up to the already popular melody.

  • Social Media Analytics for Youtube Comments: Potential and Limitations1 Mike Thelwall
    Social Media Analytics for YouTube Comments: Potential and Limitations1 Mike Thelwall School of Mathematics and Computing, University of Wolverhampton, UK The need to elicit public opinion about predefined topics is widespread in the social sciences, government and business. Traditional survey-based methods are being partly replaced by social media data mining but their potential and limitations are poorly understood. This article investigates this issue by introducing and critically evaluating a systematic social media analytics strategy to gain insights about a topic from YouTube. The results of an investigation into sets of dance style videos show that it is possible to identify plausible patterns of subtopic difference, gender and sentiment. The analysis also points to the generic limitations of social media analytics that derive from their fundamentally exploratory multi-method nature. Keywords: social media analytics; YouTube comments; opinion mining; gender; sentiment; issues Introduction Questionnaires, interviews and focus groups are standard social science and market research methods for eliciting opinions from the public, service users or other specific groups. In industry, mining social media for opinions expressed in public seems to be standard practice with commercial social media analytics software suites that include an eclectic mix of data mining tools (e.g., Fan & Gordon, 2014). Within academia, there is also a drive to generate effective methods to mine the social web (Stieglitz, Dang-Xuan, Bruns, & Neuberger, 2014). From a research methods perspective, there is a need to investigate the generic limitations of new methodological approaches. Many existing social research techniques have been adapted for the web, such as content analysis (Henrich & Holmes, 2011), ethnography (Hine, 2000), surveys (Crick, 2012; Harrison, Wilding, Bowman, Fuller, Nicholls, et al.

  • Lenape Dances
    LENAPE DANCES It is a beautiful night. Somewhere in the Lenape homeland there is a large gathering of people who have come together for a ceremonial. It took place during the day, and now the sun has set. The moon is rising. Moonrise over the ocean in Lenapehokink Inside the dance area the attendants have brought in the fire. People are sitting around visiting and waiting. Soon the deep, resonant sound of the water drum begins. A steady beat is followed by the singing of the drummer. He is singing a song for the women to come out and dance. On either side of him sit other singers. They have gourd rattles and they too sing along. The world is a wonderful place, the year is 1494, and the world of the Lenape and other Native people is about to suffer a drastic change. Five hundred years later the songs and dances are still being done. Singers at a Lenape Stomp Dance in Oklahoma in 1960 The scene we set above could have taken place almost anywhere in the eastern part of the United States from New York on south, perhaps as far as the Gulf of Mexico. To this day many of the old “Social Dance Songs” are remembered, and are still used by some tribes. Here are some of them the Lenape still use: Lead Dance Nikantkan http://www.talk-lenape.org/detail?id=11885 The dance, also just called a stomp dance, proceeds in single file, the leader singing in short phrases, echoed by the followers, all being men.
