Many Colombian immigrants left the country for the States after the trade and industry depression in the 1960s to search for work in the bigger urban cities to be able to provide for their families like millions of other settlers. From 1960 to 1977 the Immigration and Naturalization Service reported almost 120,000 Colombians migrated to the United States to set themselves free from their poverty stricken streets to a more industrialized nation like the diverse and booming market that was developing within and surrounding suburbs of New York City to support their families they brought or either left behind (Sturner, 2011)
This type of tap dancing is known as rhythm tap (as contrasted with Broadway tap in which dancers tap to the music of orchestras), and is exciting because dancers both create and dance to their own music. In this respect, Davis's numbers continue the tradition of hoofers, those who dance loudly with their legs in order to provide their own music (Lowe)
As a dancer who came to national prominence during the 1950's and 1960's, Davis' work was instrumental in helping to reduce racial segregation. He refused to perform at venues in which African-Americans were not permitted, and was instrumental in converting several such establishments (particularly in Miami) (Hill) to allow for integration
For the initiated, his name alone on a press release is enough to bring the audiences out. For the uninitiated, the release would emphasize his classical ballet training in Russia in which he was able to study under the legendary Aleksander Pushkin before performing as a soloist for the international Kirov Ballet (Abhinav)
Then you will teach him again to dance wrong side out as in the frenzy of dance halls and this wrong side will become his right side. (Artaud, 1947/1988: 570-1) Limitations were thus unacceptable to Artaud in much the same way as it is unacceptable in Butoh

It arose as a reaction to bias and prejudice as he explained: Deconstruction does not consist in passing from one concept to another, but in overturning and displacing a conceptual order, as well as the non-conceptual order with which the conceptual order is articulated. (Derrida 1982: 329) Artaud exerted significant influence on Butoh since his theatre incorporated what butoh later adopted i

For this reason, butoh appears grotesque to the untrained mind. Combining German expressionism with Japanese Kabuki, butoh is seen as a dance form in which "violence, sexuality, horror, chaos, and bad taste are the expected norm" (Friedland 1993/1994: 94)
S.-Japan Mutual Defense Treaty of 1959-1960 is in many ways responsible for the creation of Ankoku Butoh that expressed deep resentment over western domination, power and authority (Klein, 1988)
Keeping in view the traditional Japanese thinking of a connection between nature and man, Hijikata incorporated it in butoh movements. However he focused more on nature's darker side believing that, "the dirty is beautiful and the beautiful is dirty, and [life] cycles between them forever" (Kurihara 1997, 38)
Marie-Gabrielle Rotie (1996) explains: In the west, [butoh] has been open to misinterpretation, partly because of its marginalized presence and the rarity of its performances, partly because of the formalization of its original aspirations. The creative development of butoh by European practitioners depends on an awareness of the impulses from which it was born (Rotie, 34)
Nakajima said, "We found that we were making the same discoveries as noh actors made, using some of the same terminology, but we had never learned these forms."(Stein 1986:111) Butoh is now accepted as not only a dance but also as movement therapy
Their primary aim was to destabilize existing orders and this is what they accomplished with arts forms such as butoh. "Liminal entities are neither here nor there; they are betwixt and between the positions assigned and arrayed by law, custom, convention, and ceremonial" (Turner 1969, 94)
…humans are understood by examining the mentalistic symbols, meanings and values of the social realities they construct…adolescents fashion these social realities by observing social phenomena and engaging in symbolic discourses within the context of socializing agents…adolescents create or become aware of meanings as they observe and interpret events in the social environment…or interact with others in social settings, (for example, with peers.) (Peterson & Peters, 1983,-Page 68) The party is an interactive model by which student engage social reality
These positive attributes encompass: competence in academic, social, and vocational areas; confidence or a positive self-identity; connection or healthy relations to community, family and peers; character or positive values, integrity, moral commitment; and caring and compassion. (Roth et al
The history of births, deaths, loves, and battles of the people were preserved in chants and dance (Hawaii's pp). Since Hawaii's history was recorded as dance, "hula dancers were expected to remember and repeat every dance step perfectly and under punishment of death," for "to change the dance was to change history" (Kaleikini pp)
According to David Courtney, "Today the acknowledged classical styles are: Bharatnatyam of Tamil Nadu, Kathakali of Kerala, Kuchipudi of Andhra Pradesh, Manipuri of Northeast India, Orissi from Orissa, and Kathak from north India and Pakistan." (Courtney) Hip Hop dancing is one of the most recent and most debated dances, as it involves a great deal of creativity and a somewhat offensive style
