Part 1: Comparing Ballet Forms
Define each of the following terms:
● classical ballet
● neoclassical ballet
● contemporary ballet
Find a 20th-century ballet that exemplifies each of the forms. See a video performance of the ballet or collect several descriptions and critiques of the work. Justify how the specific work meets the criteria of that dance form by writing a one- to two-page paper.
Part 2: Modern Dance: Characterizing Postmodern Choreography
What is postmodern dance? How did it evolve? Who contributed to this movement? What elements define the style and have become themes associated with postmodern dance? Develop a concept map that includes the forms that postmodern dance can take and the choreographers related to these forms. A concept map is a graphic organizer that shows the relationships among concepts or other items. An example is in chapter 3, where the relationships and connections among different dances are explored (see Figure 3.1). You can generate a concept map by using a drawing tool in a word processing program or a specific application for concept mapping.
Part 3: Choreographer’s Sketch or Summary
Create a summary of one or more of these choreographers and their significant works:
● Twyla Tharp
● Mark Morris
● Urban Bush Women
● H.T. Chen and Company
● Bill T. Jones

You are required to watch The Kirov Ballet’s Swan Lake Dance prior to writing this review. The link to the dance is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rJoB7y6Ncs
Prompt: Put yourself in the shoes of a dance reviewer, assigned to cover this concert for a publication.You will use the three main ingredients of dance writing in your review: Description,Interpretation, and Evaluation. As a dance reviewer, you want to engage your readers, to convince them to see a particular dance, or tell them why they shouldn’t. Use vivid, expressive language in a compelling voice! You have a strict space limit for this publication, as most reviewers do. In order to fill the appropriate column space, 700 words.This review is not intended to be a play-by-play of the concert. Focus your attention more closely on one or two dances. Your review MUST have an introduction and conclusion. Consider how you might draw your reader in with a strong and/or striking opening paragraph. It might also be a good idea to provide some context for the dances you discuss or the concert as a whole.Your paper should address these three ingredients, but you can arrange them in the way that makes the most sense for your review:
Description:Describe the movement(s) you found most intriguing, making sure to locate the movement in the dance in which it occurred. Remember to use clear images and vivid, sensory language. In addition to describing the movement itself, include why you were so interested or intrigued in the movement in the first place. What was your kinesthetic response to the movement, or how did it feel to watch that movement?Interpretation: What meanings, ideas, themes, feelings did you find in this dance or dances? How did the dance suggest these meanings to you? Give specific examples to explain your interpretations.Remember that your interpretation does not have to be a clear-cut answer. Really explore the meanings you are making from the dance! Evaluation:Your judgment of the dance may be clear from the way you describe the work, or you may choose to have a separate section in which you reveal your evaluation of the merits of this dance. Be specific, and back your statements up with evidence from the dance. Be sure to explain why you felt a certain way about the dance.Your review should also have a true ending paragraph that resolves and sums up the content of your response. Try to move beyond bland statements such as: “This was a great concert and I think everyone should see it!”
