WEBVTT 1 00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:19.940 South Shore of high school, this special lecture demonstration program, the art of the dance. 2 00:00:20.520 --> 00:00:26.600 This program has come to you through the support of the Ruth Page Foundation and the Chicago 3 00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:27.840 Public School. 4 00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:35.200 The art of the dance demonstrates the two most widely practiced forms of serious dance, 5 00:00:35.860 --> 00:00:37.760 classical ballet and modern dance. 6 00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:41.680 The first point you will see employs both of these dance forms. 7 00:00:42.460 --> 00:00:47.020 The first section of the dance shows the pure classical technique of the ballet classroom. 8 00:00:47.800 --> 00:00:54.380 Every ballet class begins as our first dance begins with exercises at the ballet bar. 9 00:00:55.020 --> 00:00:59.800 Classical ballet employs a limited number of set predetermined movements which every 10 00:00:59.800 --> 00:01:01.160 ballet dancer learns. 11 00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:07.560 These movements change very little if at all when they are used in works of concert dance. 12 00:01:07.940 --> 00:01:12.580 Notice the total control of the body which the ballet dancer must know. 13 00:01:13.360 --> 00:01:17.260 The second section of the first work is modern dance. 14 00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:22.100 With the modern dance technique the dancer uses his body in a very natural way. 15 00:01:22.100 --> 00:01:28.240 The modern dancer attempts to free his body for an infinite variety of movement possibilities. 16 00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:33.020 You will perhaps recognize the very athletic quality of modern dance. 17 00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:38.340 In many respects modern dance is very closely tied to the discipline of gymnastics. 18 00:01:39.160 --> 00:01:44.120 Our first dance also includes examples of some of the variations of serious dance. 19 00:01:44.500 --> 00:01:48.380 You will see a section for our male dancers and a section just for the girls. 20 00:01:48.380 --> 00:01:53.720 One section of the adagio shows the special beauty of very slow dance. 21 00:01:54.360 --> 00:02:01.400 The music you will hear is that of Johann Sebastian Bach as performed by the swingle singers. 22 00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:05.880 The choreography of this first work is by Mr. Larry Long. 23 00:02:06.460 --> 00:02:09.040 Ladies and
