Dance

Wednesday's FYS class was unique in that we sat in on a dance lecture. I learned about the various types of dances and about how some dances center on the music while others focus on the movements. I also learned about leading and following. The seminar also made it very clear that dancing is about communication, whether it is with the partner or to the audience. The one question I was left with was about tribal dances. All sorts of ballroom and social dances were discussed but since our FYS class is about the Maya, I wondered what their dances were like or how they viewed dance, if they danced at all.
