Instructions

In this 3-part discussion, you will (1) compose a 3-paragraph original post, (2) compose ONE response post to a classmate, then (3) write a reflection to your own original post about this aesthetic experience.

1. Carefully view the excerpts of the Swan Lake and Night Journey dance selections (in Required Online Exploration).

3. Write a new thread using the following instructions:

In the FIRST paragraph (at least 200 words):

· Using three terms from the Dance Elements & Vocabulary Guide, identify the dance elements in the Swan Lake excerpt and explain specifically how they are shown in the video (please put your three dance terms in bold).

· Identify Swan Lake as either Classical Ballet or Modern Dance.

· Then, using at least three terms from the Dance Elements & Vocabulary Guide, evaluate the choreography. Is this a good example of this type of art? Is it well presented? What are its points of value?

In the SECOND paragraph (at least 200 words):

· Using at least three terms from the Dance Elements & Vocabulary Guide, identify the dance elements in the Night Journey excerpt and explain specifically how they are shown in the video (please put your three dance terms in bold).

In the THIRD paragraph (at least 200 words):

· Compare and contrast the styles of Classical ballet and Modern dance. Please use specific examples in your comparison.

· Identify how both these dance compositions (Swan Lake and Night Journey) are “interdisciplinary” (i.e. are related to one or more of the disciplines in humanities we have studied so far). Please provide at least one specific example of this interdisciplinary connection.
