  • Journal of American Studies of Turkey 1 (1995): 41-47. Dance in America Neclâ Çıkıgil Dance Is a Familiar Subject to All
    Journal of American Studies of Turkey 1 (1995): 41-47. Dance in America Neclâ Çıkıgil Dance is a familiar subject to all people, regardless of nationality, race, gender, ideology and religion. What's more, dance is an indispensable part of life. There was dance before people existed, dance in the harmonious arrangement and movement of the celestial bodies, dance in nature and later, when people began to inhabit this earth, they danced, too. Actually, people moved before they spoke intelligibly. Since the impulse to move is inherent in all mankind, the American people also had their share of this impulse. Long before the establishment of the United States of America, there were numerous tribal communities such as the Navaho and the Sioux; naturally, these people danced to worship, to mourn, to celebrate and to communicate. Yet, the introduction to America of what is today called the "American concert dance" was initiated with the immigration of the European and Asian people, the forced removal of Africans to this part of the world, and the subsequent migration of Latin Americans. As various cultural groups thus moved to America, they brought with them their own ethnic dances. In retrospect, it is seen today that the most notable aspect of these dances is that, once on American soil, they became the means of expression of a new nation in the process of establishing itself. Furthermore, these dances admixed to form new syntheses and novel types of dancing. To illustrate, it may be said that most of the formation of the American dance depended on the dance and music of the African and Caribbean peoples who had the ingenuity of combining "Scotch-Irish clog dances with their own ancestral dances." In fact, this became the earliest American native dance and the origin of modern tap dancing (Coe 1).

  • Brief History of Ballet
    Brief History of Ballet The earliest precursors to ballets were lavish entertainments given in the courts of Renaissance Italy. These elaborate spectacles, which united painting, poetry, music, and dancing, took place in large halls that were used also for banquets and balls. A dance performance given in 1489 actually was performed between the courses of a banquet, and the action was closely related to the menu: For instance, the story ofJason and the Golden Fleece preceded the roast lamb. The dancers based their performance on the social dances of the day. The Italian court ballets were further developed .in France. I.e Ballet Comiq11e de Ia Reine (The Queen's Ballet Comedy), the first ballet for which a complete score survived, was performed in Paris in 1581. It was staged by Balthazar de Beaujoyeux, a violinist and dancing master at the court of Queen Catherine de Medici It was danced by aristocratic amateurs in a hall with the royal family on a dais at one end and spectators in galleries on three sides. Since tnuch of the audience saw the ballet from above, the choreography emphasized the elabo.tilte floor patterns created by lines and groups of dancers. Poetry and songs accompanied the dances. Most French court ballets consisted of dance scenes linked by a minimum of plot Because they were designed principally for the entertainment of the aristocracy, rich costumes, scenery, and elaborate stage effects were emphasized The proscenium stage was first adopted in France in the mid-1600s, and professional dancers made their first appearance, although they were not permitted to dance in the grand ballet that concluded the performance; this was still reserved for the king and courtiers.

  • Utah History Encyclopedia
    DANCE Many early pioneer women in Utah through religious spirit taught and instilled in their children a love for the arts and a joy in participating in song and dance. It seems only natural that American modern dance would take artistic root in Utah soil and this new expression of dance movement would find its way into higher education. Today, the University of Utah Modern Dance Department is considered to be one of the outstanding schools for dance education in the nation. In addition, Utah′s professional modern dance companies began their existence on the University of Utah campus. Modern dance had gone by many names over the years but is essentially a form of dance expression which evolved from dancer′s objections to the limitations imposed by classical ballet of the day; it is free from the limitations of a codified method of training. Modern dance is not a system; instead, it is a point of view, an art form that consciously communicates ideas, feelings, and emotions through movement. The first mention of dance in the University of Utah catalog is as part of a course offering of the Physical Education Department in the academic year 1906-07. Professor Maud May Babcock, director of gymnastics for women and assistant professor of elocution and physical culture, was generally credited for the introduction of dance into the program. By 1909 the expansion of dance in the curriculum was noted when all physical education classes for women included dance in one form or another. The dance offered was folk dance as well as an adaption of classic dancing call the Gilbert Technique.
