Dance

 

1. What stereotypes exist about men who dance? 

   Given what you have learned in the readings and mini lecture about the origins of Ballet as a male only dance, and it’s evolution into a female dominated company structure, why do you think those stereotypes exist? How are those stereotypes incorrect?
   Why do you think it’s still seen in our society as more socially acceptable for men to dance ballroom, hip hop, or modern/contemporary than ballet?
   How can this be changed?

2. Consider the technique videos presented in Part 5 of our Mini-Lecture. Some of those classes are beginners/level 1 classes, and some are advanced.

   Which class most appeals to you as a viewer of movement and engages with your spirit to move?
   Why?

Please cite the mini lecture, videos, and other materials you are referring back to both with APA in-text and reference citation.
