Later in the evening the pair from California dancedthe Balboa, and the two Swedes demonstrated some of their fabu­ lous aerials. These were top per­ formances, and the audience went wild. Between these shows and a lot of time for social dancing, the evening was a success for both participants and visitors. The whole evening had a great atmos­ phere. Sunday morning we renewed our strength at a local restaurant's breakfast buffet for the hours to come. During the last five hours, everybody worked hard again and the marvellous weather invited us, as it had on Saturday, to spend the breaks outside. By 4: 15 pm on Sunday the sec­ ond Swiss Lindy Hop Weekend was history, leaving everyone Rob van Haaren & Jann Olsen at the head of their class in Switzerland.

  • 1996 Commencement Program
    Morehead State University Class of 1996 Spring Commencement Saturday, May 11, 1996 r•] Academic Costumes The wearing of academic costumes is a custom that goes back to the Middle Ages. Since the early European and English universities were founded by the church, the students and teachers were required to wear distinctive gowns at all times. Although the custom was brought to this country in Colonial days, the requirement for students was soon dropped. The custom for professors was confined to special occasions such as graduating exercises and inaugurations of new presidents. With the increase in the number of educational institutions and the development of new subject-matter fields, some confusion arose in time about the type of gown and the specific color co denote various degrees. To introduce desirable uniformity and set up a clearing house for new developments, a commission representing leading American colleges produced The Intercollegiate Code in 1895. ln 1932, a national committee of the American Council on Education revised this code into The Academic Costume Code. It was revised in 1959. Although not obligatory, most of the educational institutions in the country follow it in awarding their degrees, earned and honorary. The most significant part of the academic dress is the hood. The color of its velvet border indicates the academic field, and it is lined with the color or colors of the institution granting the degree. The hoods of those receiving a Master of Arts or an honorary degree of Doctor of Letters have those same color indications, but each successively higher degree carries with it a longer hood.

  • The Miseducation of Hip-Hop Dance: Authenticity, and the Commodification of Cultural Identities
    The Miseducation of Hip-Hop dance: Authenticity, and the commodification of cultural identities. E. Moncell Durden., Assistant Professor of Practice University of Southern California Glorya Kaufman School of Dance Introduction Hip-hop dance has become one of the most popular forms of dance expression in the world. The explosion of hip-hop movement and culture in the 1980s provided unprecedented opportunities to inner-city youth to gain a different access to the “American” dream; some companies saw the value in using this new art form to market their products for commercial and consumer growth. This explosion also aided in an early downfall of hip-hop’s first dance form, breaking. The form would rise again a decade later with a vengeance, bringing older breakers out of retirement and pushing new generations to develop the technical acuity to extraordinary levels of artistic corporeal genius. We will begin with hip-hop’s arduous beginnings. Born and raised on the sidewalks and playgrounds of New York’s asphalt jungle, this youthful energy that became known as hip-hop emerged from aspects of cultural expressions that survived political abandonment, economic struggles, environmental turmoil and gang activity. These living conditions can be attributed to high unemployment, exceptionally organized drug distribution, corrupt police departments, a failed fire department response system, and Robert Moses’ building of the Cross-Bronx Expressway, which caused middle and upper-class residents to migrate North. The South Bronx lost 600,000 jobs and displaced more than 5,000 families. Between 1973 and 1977, and more than 30,000 fires were set in the South Bronx, which gave rise to the phrase “The Bronx is Burning.” This marginalized the black and Latino communities and left the youth feeling unrepresented, and hip-hop gave restless inner-city kids a voice.
