  • A Delicate Balance Negotiating Isolation and Globalization in the Burmese Performing Arts Catherine Diamond
    A Delicate Balance Negotiating Isolation and Globalization in the Burmese Performing Arts Catherine Diamond If you walk on and on, you get to your destination. If you question much, you get your information. If you do not sleep and idle, you preserve your life! (Maung Htin Aung 1959:87) So go the three lines of wisdom offered to the lazy student Maung Pauk Khaing in the well- known eponymous folk tale. A group of impoverished village youngsters, led by their teacher Daw Khin Thida, adapted the tale in 2007 in their first attempt to perform a play. From a well-to-do family that does not understand her philanthropic impulses, Khin Thida, an English teacher by profession, works at her free school in Insein, a suburb of Yangon (Rangoon) infamous for its prison. The shy students practiced first in Burmese for their village audience, and then in English for some foreign donors who were coming to visit the school. Khin Thida has also bought land in Bagan (Pagan) and is building a culture center there, hoping to attract the street children who currently pander to tourists at the site’s immense network of temples.

  • Acro Vs. Gymnastics: What's the Difference?
    Acro vs. Gymnastics: What’s the Difference? The simple answer is, there are LOTS of differences! If you’ve ever watched a gymnastics floor routine, you’ll notice the hard-hitting, advanced tumbling lines, executed with power and precision. Gymnasts focus on “sticking the landing”, because every fall, wobble, or off-step is a deduction to their overall score and can be the difference between winning and losing. Acro Dance is an art form specifically designed for dancers. Acro has softer, more lyrical-looking lines, with emphasis on lengthening “through” the tricks and holding beautiful balances with interesting variations. The focus is on seamlessly blending acrobatics with dance, and avoiding obvious preparations before each trick. In short, Gymnastics is a sport; Acro Dance is an art form. Gymnasts train on a sprung-floor, with actual springs built into the mats: a forgiving surface to repeatedly practice advanced tumbling passes on over and over again. Acro Dancers perform on a hard stage, and must train the body to withstand the impact of the floor. Dancers don’t get the “rebound” action out of a hard floor like gymnasts do out of a spring-floor. Therefore, dancers train to get the necessary lift from their bodies, and emphasis on a strong “hub” (hips, glutes, core) is a must. Gymnastics tricks are usually performed in a “hollow-body” position (think: laying down on the back in a “banana” position with the arms and legs hovering off the ground; chin tucked; pulling in through the core). Acro tricks are usually performed in an “open-body” position (think: laying down on the stomach in a “superman” position with the arms and legs lengthening and hovering off the ground; chin open and looking past the fingertips).

DurIng theIr fIeldwork they collected cassette recordings of lam singIng from LaotIan radIo statIons In VIentIane and Savannakhet. ChonpaIrot also conducted fieldwork among Laotian artists living in Thai refugee camps. After the VIetnam War ended, many more Laotians who had worked for the AmerIcans fled to ThaI refugee camps.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, safety remains our top priority. We are diligently monitoring official information from health authorities, such as the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). General adoption of best practices as advised by the CDC is the best way to prevent the spread of any illness. In support of these practices, we are implementing additional proactive, preventative measures to protect the health and safety of our dancers, dance teachers, employees, families and friends. As we prepare to host live events next season, we want to share some of the possible scenarios that may be implemented on- site for each event. The pandemic and the corresponding regulations regarding COVID-19 change regularly. Due to the fluidity of this situation – both nationally and regionally - we are considering, but not limited to, four options to safely and responsibly host On Point events for the 2021 season. The format that each event follows will be communicated pre-event to all registered studios. Option A: In-Person with Spectators Spectators allowed with safety and social distancing measures in place Live awards ceremony with limited studios, dancers and/or dance teachers Option B: In-Person with Limited Spectators Spectator viewing limited to team performance time only with safety and social distancing measures in place Live awards ceremony with limited studios, dancers and/or

  • WHAT ACRO-DANCE IS: As the World of Dance Continues to Change, We Are Seeing More Flexible Dancers Incorporating Acrobatic Elements Into Their Routines
    WHAT ACRO-DANCE IS: As the world of dance continues to change, we are seeing more flexible dancers incorporating acrobatic elements into their routines. This class will progress your dancer through levels that help her increase her flexibility and gain the strength needed to safely and correctly perform ac- robatic and tumbling skills. This is a unique program. It is focused on safety and excellence in technique. The levels are designed to allow students to progress only when they are physically ready. This ensures that your daughter’s body remains healthy and minimizes the potential for injury. Classes are taught by instructors certified through “Acrobatic Arts”. WHAT ACRO-DANCE ISN’T: Acro-Dance is not the same as gymnastics. A dancer must complete all of the skills on the hard stage without the advantage of a sprung floor. While some of the tumbling skills might look the same, they are taught differently to compensate for the different conditions. Acro-Dance teaches tumbling movement that can be seamlessly integrated into choreography in your child’s dance classes. NOTE: The dance technique portion will be taught in Ballet and Company Classes and the acrobatic ele- ments are taught in our Acro-Dance classes. Acro-Dance Levels Primary, 1 and 2 can be taken alone. To be in Acro-Dance levels 3 and above, you must be enrolled in an additional Ballet or a Company Class. We do have a Ballet Class available for Acro-Dance Level 3 directly before their class. We may make an exception for dancers from other studios. Contact us if you are in this situation.
