The range of offerings for dance educators included a variety of experiences to foster inspiration, education, response, dialogue and connection to one another. Contributions to Focus on Dance Education: Engaging in the Artistic Processes: Creating Performing, Responding, Connecting Conference Proceedings include paper presentations, panel discussions, workshops, and movement sessions presented from October 7-11, 2015. The proceedings include 4 abstracts, 9 full papers, 6 movement session summaries, 6 summary of workshop presentations, 2 panel discussion summaries, and 1 special interest group summary.

    presents ZviDance Sunday, July 12-Tuesday, July 14 at 8:00pm Reynolds Industries Theater Performance: 50 minutes, no intermission DABKE (2012) Choreography: Zvi Gotheiner in collaboration with the dancers Original Score by: Scott Killian with Dabke music by Ali El Deek Lighting Design: Mark London Costume Design: Reid Bartelme Assistant Costume Design: Guy Dempster Dancers: Chelsea Ainsworth, Todd Allen, Alex Biegelson, Kuan Hui Chew, Tyner Dumortier, Samantha Harvey, Ying-Ying Shiau, Robert M. Valdez, Jr. Company Manager: Jacob Goodhart Executive Director: Nikki Chalas A few words from Zvi about the creation of DABKE: The idea of creating a contemporary dance piece based on a Middle Eastern folk dance revealed itself in a Lebanese restaurant in Stockholm, Sweden. My Israeli partner and a Lebanese waiter became friendly and were soon dancing the Dabke between tables. While patrons cheered, I remained still, transfixed, all the while envisioning this as material for a new piece. Dabke (translated from Arabic as "stomping of the feet") is a traditional folk dance and is now the national dance of Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, and Palestine. Israelis have their own version. It is a line dance often performed at weddings, holidays, and community celebrations. The dance strongly references solidarity, and traditionally only men participated. The dancers, linked by hands or shoulders, stomp the ground with complex rhythms, emphasizing their connection to the land. While the group keeps rhythm, the leader, called Raas (meaning "head"), improvises on pre-choreographed movement phrases. He also twirls a handkerchief or string of beads known as a Masbha. When I was a child and teenager growing up in a Kibbutz in northern Israel, Friday nights were folk dance nights.

OUR VISION The Big Muddy Dance Company, a St. Louis-based repertory dance company, seeks to build a love of dance by providing fun, experiential and highly entertaining performances. By engaging both emerging and established choreographers, collaborating across the community through senior outreach and training future performers through our school and trainee program, we constantly strive to invigorate life through dance.

    RESOURCE GUIDE FOR EDUCATORS AILEYDANCE. PHOTO BY JOE EPSTEIN 1 A LETTER FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR “Dance came from the people and must always be delivered back to the people.” - Alvin Ailey Dear Educator, For over sixty years, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater has carried out the credo of its founder through performances, school and community programs, professional training of young dancers, classes for the public, and more. To Mr. Ailey, dance was more than a series of steps; it was a means of expressing emotion, of telling one’s story, of honoring the past and rejoicing in what is to come. In fulfillment of his legacy, we strive to offer abundant opportunities for young people to experience the possibilities of dance, no matter who they are or where they come from. We hope the exercises and activities suggested in this resource guide will provide you and your students with a creative and interactive inlet to the world of dance and the work of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, or help you prepare them to attend a dance performance. By bringing your students to an Ailey performance, participating in an Ailey Arts In Education residency, or simply sharing with them the joy and practice of dance, you are engaging the next generation in the Ailey legacy; one expressly dedicated to expanding the minds, talents, and dreams of young people. Thank you for your contribution, and enjoy! Sincerely, Bennett Rink Executive Director, Alvin Ailey Dance Foundation 2 RESOURCE GUIDE FOR EDUCATORS AILEYDANCE. PHOTO BY JOE EPSTEIN The content and suggested activities in this guide can be integrated into an established school curriculum.
