Mein Lieblingssport

Saturday, April 11th, 2009

Vielleicht man würde nicht im Allgemeinen Tanz betrachten, ein Sport zu sein, weil es nicht ein Spiel ist. Es wird nicht für konkurrierend gehalten. Es gibt im Allgemeinen keinen Sieger am Ende der Leistung. Ich glaube, dass es ein Sport ist. Es erfordert viel Widmung, Konzentration, und ist physikalisch fleißig.Im Ballett gibt es keine Verlierer, Gewinne jedes gute Tänzers.

Mein Lieblingssport ist Ballett und klassischer Tanz. Als ich sehr jung war habe ich Ballett  jahrelang studiert. Als ich in Alaska wohnte, studierte ich vom berühmten russischen Ballett. Hier führen Tänzer von einer russischen Ballettschule was sie einen deutschen Tanz nennen.

Ich habe nicht jahrelang getanzt. Das letzte Mal ging ich zu sehen, dass das Ballett in Philadelphia war. Ich habe Kinder von meiner Kirche mitgenommen, um “den Nussknacker” und “Swan Lake” zu sehen. Mein Lieblingstanz ist “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy.

Wir sahen auch “Revelations” von die berühmte Alvin Ailey Tanz-Truppe.

Ich habe sehr viel Respekt für das Lebenswerk von Balanchine.

Ich interessiere mich auch für klassische Tänze von den verschiedenen Kulturen, z.B. Spanien, Indien und Japan zu sehen. Man kann über ein Land und seine Kultur viel lernen, indem es ihren Tanz zu sehen. Der Tanz erzählt  eine Geschichte, die zur Kultur der Tänzer einzigartig ist. Die Kostüme sind im Allgemeinen sehr schön. Jeder Samstag-Morgen sehe ich indische Filme, die immer eine Tanzszene haben. Ich habe  Salsa getanzt, als ich jüng war, aber ich tanze nicht mehr viel. . Ich habe nie indische Tänze gelernt  aber ich möchte es gerne  lernen. Ich habe gerne der Film “Umrao Jaan” angesehen. In diesem Film führt Ashwarya Rai-Bachan einen schönen Tanz, ” Salaam.”

Please comment and let me know what you like or feel free to add your favorites to my iLike Widget on the right.

    Let’s treasure the old along with the new

    Editor’s note: Grammy winner Wynton Marsalis is artistic director of Jazz at Lincoln Center. He and former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor will lead “A Celebration of America” with the Rockefeller Foundation on Monday evening at the Kennedy Center featuring Angela Bassett, Dave Brubeck, and others.

    Wynton Marsalis says we should use the rich heritage of our culture as a roadmap for the future.

    Wynton Marsalis says we should use the rich heritage of our culture as a roadmap for the future.

    (CNN) — On the dawn of the most historic inauguration of our time, we nervously await “change we can believe in.”

    Politicians and pundits analyze every pre-presidential utterance and come to quick conclusions about what will happen under the new administration.

    A “wait and see” attitude dampens our euphoria. Will we come together or will even harder times drive us apart?

    In the din of expert voices on everything imaginable, what we don’t hear is informed conversation on how central culture is to our national well-being.

    Our culture provides all the proof we need that we are together, that we have always been and, in spite of difficulties, will continue to be.

    It’s time for us to build a new mythology based on our many cultural triumphs instead of fixating on our never-ending missteps and conflicts.

      “In order that everything should be reduced to the same level it is first of all necessary to procure a phantom, a spirit, a monstrous abstraction, an all-embracing something which is nothing, a mirage — and that phantom is the public.

      “In a logical system, it is convenient to say that possibility passes over into actuality. However, in actuality it is not so convenient, and an intermediate term is required.

      “A public is everything and nothing, the most dangerous of all powers and the most insignificant: one can speak to a whole nation in the name of the public and still the public will be less than a single real man, however unimportant.
