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.

  • 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.
