These are four acclaimed productions of some of the greatest ballets. Perfection is a Killer or some elite dancers the pursuit of technical perfection, sometimes at the behest of modern choreographers, Fis killing artistry. Teachers in ballet companies and ballet schools can in part also be responsible for this with their deadly over emphasis on technique and flexability. Some dancers now seem to only engage with their public on social media, while on stage they are empty of real expression. There can be too much emphasis on high extensions, pyrotechnics, and the polished execution of steps from the waist down.

  • Types of Dance Styles
    Types of Dance Styles International Standard Ballroom Dances Ballroom Dance: Ballroom dancing is one of the most entertaining and elite styles of dancing. In the earlier days, ballroom dancewas only for the privileged class of people, the socialites if you must. This style of dancing with a partner, originated in Germany, but is now a popular act followed in varied dance styles. Today, the popularity of ballroom dance is evident, given the innumerable shows and competitions worldwide that revere dance, in all its form. This dance includes many other styles sub-categorized under this. There are many dance techniques that have been developed especially in America. The International Standard recognizes around 10 styles that belong to the category of ballroom dancing, whereas the American style has few forms that are different from those included under the International Standard. Tango: It definitely does take two to tango and this dance also belongs to the American Style category. Like all ballroom dancers, the male has to lead the female partner. The choreography of this dance is what sets it apart from other styles, varying between the International Standard, and that which is American. Waltz: The waltz is danced to melodic, slow music and is an equally beautiful dance form. The waltz is a graceful form of dance, that requires fluidity and delicate movement. When danced by the International Standard norms, this dance is performed more closely towards each other as compared to the American Style. Foxtrot: Foxtrot, as a dance style, gives a dancer flexibility to combine slow and fast dance steps together.

Representing an aesthetic and geographic diversity of composers, choreographers, and artists, 60x60 is an annual performance project containing 60 works where each piece is 60 seconds in duration. The mission of 60x60 and its presenter, Vox Novus, is to expose contemporary music, modern dance, experimental video, and other contemporary art forms to the largest audience possible. 60x60 combines grassroots ideology with innovative methods of presentation and distribution. Each year the project grows in artistic and distributive scope, with performances across the globe. The idea—60 new dance pieces are performed to 60 new pieces of music, each lasting no more than 60 seconds—is quite mad.
