...within the public school system. The Matanuska-Susitna Borough School Board approves of community-based charter schools. All Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District (MSBSD) Charter School programs are open to student’s applications who reside within the school district. Starting a charter school is truly a community effort. However, the rewards we may find by creating a new educational option for children are well worth the effort. The first question we want to answer is why do we want to start a charter school? As a charter developer, we need to have a clear answer to this question. Matanuska-Susitna Valley residents desire a school that provides a rich and comprehensive educational program for students with talents and potential in dance, instrumental music, vocal music, theatre, and visual art or media arts. This school will provide students and parents with expanded choices in the types of educational opportunities that are available within the public school system to maximize each student’s special talents. Our graduates will increase the quality of their life, the lives of people who surround them, and the respective communities of the Valley. There are many people interested in helping to start our charter school waiting for recruitment. These founders will include parents, teachers, school principals, lawyers, business entrepreneurs and accountants. Our founding group needs to have expertise in a variety of areas, including: • Curriculum & instruction • Public...

An entirely new level of understanding can be achieved by going to see a dance performance, or by taking a dance class from a different dance teacher. I want your time in dance to be new and exciting. With that said, I want you view dance through a new lens, and by seeing a performance or taking a new class, you can achieve a different perspective. Assignment: For this term I will be asking you to go and see a dance performance or take a dance class outside of Helix. Please, no music concerts or movies. I want you to enjoy the show or dance class, being sure to take notes during or after the experience. Here are some guidelines to help you take notes: Performance: ⇒ Costumes (do they fit with the piece? Are there any technical difficulties?) ⇒ Lighting (does it create the right mood for the piece? Is it appropriate?) ⇒ Entrances and Exits (are there smooth transitions or do they look awkward?) ⇒ Spacing between the dancers (is there enough space or too much?) ⇒ Performance (is there a performance quality or are you bored?) ⇒ Emotions (are they showing and changing emotions?) ⇒ Character...

Dr K Botha North-West University, South Africa. * Corresponding Author Abstract The standardisation of a measurement scale to measure an arts festival‟s contribution to the performing arts is described. The measurement scale, namely the questionnaire, is based on literature, where the contributing factors, namely economic, emotional, educational, marketing, quality and growth and development contribution of an arts festival to the performing arts are determined based on the perception of the festival visitor. The scale proved to be a valid measure, as the exploratory factor analysis on the combined data of Innibos and Vryfees (n = 982) supported construct validity and criterion validity. Further validity was proven by a confirmatory factor analysis on the data of KKNK (n = 602). CFA fit indices also indicate that the model has a satisfactory fit with the data...

...Pecson-Cinco Dance The word “Dance” comes from the Greek word “damson” which means to stretch. All dancing is made up of stretching and relaxing. Thus, a simple analysis of the term “sayaw” which easily lead one to say that is must have derived from the word “saya” which means happy. A person who is very happy or in the rhythmical movement is an outward expression of his feeling. Meaning: • Dance of many types is the physical expression of rhythm and music. • It is a pure expression of the dancers’ thoughts and feelings. • It is the union of movement, rhythm and arts of life. • It is the union of minds and body expressing the intangible through the medium of time and space. Phases of Dance: Folk Dance The traditional Dance of an Indigenous society that depicts the cultural characteristics of a specific people of a given time place. Folk dance deals with the usual traditions of the past by which a multitude of national characteristic in music steps, and costumes are preserved.

She is an interesting read and her untraditional actions make for an exciting descriptive analysis. The “Art the Olde Daunce” can be translated fairly easy, the words are cognates to the new english standard, art does mean the skill of something, a branch of what the common definition of art means today. Old derives from Old English “ald” to Middle’s “olde” to the New “Old”. The origin for the word “dance” is uncertain, although french influence in arts is the most likely founder of the word.

...The Theory of Odissi An analysis on the traditional dance form of Odissi; it’s history, meaning and will focus on some of the different repertoires and positions in Odissi. ------------------------------------------------- Sushrut S. Vaidya Odissi is the classical dance form of the state of Orissa, popularly known for its picturesque temples and the combination of highs and lows in its music. During the course of the performance, one can notice the dancer depicting the structure of the temples and those of the idols, which come to life through the flowing movements, and graceful poses of the dancer. History: Odissi, as a dance form, may very well be one of the oldest forms of classical dances – with caves that date back the 2nd century depicting the origins of a dance scene with the assistance of full orchestration, naturally seen in Odissi. Archaeologists and scholars of dance have dated these caves to before Bharata’s Natyashastra, in which Odissi is mentioned as a style from South India by the name of Odra Magadhi. Though these performances were made at the Jagannath temple in Puri, it was widely performed in many Shaivite, Vaishnavite and Sakta temples in Orissa. The history of this dance form only says so much, the living tradition however, shows a lot more. It has been kept alive through the generations by two clans, the Maharis and Gotipuas. Maharis were once known as the Devdasis of Orissa. The word Mahari is derived from two Sanskrit words, namely Mahan...
