The whole show with the blue light as the tone and has different levels of change, soft and elegant, giving the audience a sense of being in the sky or the sea in the embrace, not only friendly and comfortable. Then supplemented with red, yellow, gray and other types of lighting, there is a sense of life jumping. Such as the first act 7 of the play, "Fire Dance", the lights are gradually bright, the stage is in a rolling burning fire, as if countless lives in the same jumping. At that moment, a reddish-black shadow flashed out, carrying on the rhythm of life. No, it was not just a shadow, it was the spirit of fire. Slowly, the spirit of fire came out from the sea of fire, and at that moment the fire also slowly passed away, leaving only the spirit dancing in an extremely bewitching manner. And this strong visual contrast and impact is also in the audience's heart a throbbing.

If the plot and the music are the picturesque scenery on the bank, then the dance is really the "big river" flowing in between. It is in the music, the plot of the background, tap dance as a pouring river into this beautiful and spectacular "Riverdance".

"Dance of the River" Tap Dance Appreciation Part 2

Dance, its most conservative meaning is to have rhythmic movement as the main means of expression of the art form, can show people's lives, thoughts and feelings, and generally accompanied by music. At first, whenever I talk about dance, I may feel ashamed of myself, let alone let me dance, is like a duck on the shelf. Since this semester chose the dance appreciation, in this regard there has been great progress, although is still not dance, but more or less on the dance has more or less understanding, not to others in front of the "talk about dance color change".

Selected dance appreciation of this course, not only so that I learned how to recognize and appreciate the dance, but also so that I got about the understanding of the national culture. The characteristics of Tibetan dance in China and its distribution, so as to understand their religious beliefs, regional distribution. I also learned a lot about some dances in European countries, such as ballet, which originated in Italy and was formed in France with a history of more than 300 years, and tap dance, which was formed in the 1820s. In the class of learning tap, we enjoyed the famous Irish tap dance "Riverdance", after watching it, our body and mind were y shocked, with a word to describe our mood at that moment, that is "handsome", with two words to describe, that is, "really handsome", with three words to describe, that is called "handsome", that is, "really handsome". With three words, it is called "too handsome". Originally, I thought I was a talented person, rich in learning, now I know what is called Jianglang talent, sad which!

Tap dance from the United States Broadway, a folk custom of dance, Irish folk dance and African traditional music and dance combined with the development of the formation. Performers wearing special tap shoes, with all parts of the foot, friction on the floor beat, issued a variety of tap sound, coupled with a variety of beautiful dancers, forming a tap dance unique humor, wit and expression of very rich. Artistic charm. I was y shocked by the opening momentum of "Dance of the River". History is like a long river, gushing out wisdom, courage, life and love. I have never seen Dance of the River live, but only heard the teacher's introduction in the dance appreciation class and started to pay attention to tap.

In my dance appreciation class, I was introduced to the tap dance Riverdance. A few years ago, I had seen a little bit of it on TV, but because I was too restless and couldn't calm down, I watched it for a while and changed the channel, and it didn't leave a deep impression on me. In class, when the teacher played her, suddenly had a feeling of déjà vu. I took this opportunity to watch "Dance of the River" carefully and was immediately mesmerized by the tap dance.

I was impressed by the dancers' passionate and delicate performance, and marveled at the complex and varied rhythms and clear steps. At the same time, the soul has long been wandering in the blood and tears of the Irish nation, "Riverdance" is a love tragedy, or, moreover, the bitter history of a nation. Dance aggregates the deep suffering of a country and the persistent hope of the Irish people, because of this, the original thin dance will become a bit thick, the original light dance will bring some of the vicissitudes of history.

Dance of the River takes traditional Irish tap dance as its main axis, blends the passionate Spanish flamenco dance, and draws on the essence of classical ballet and modern dance, **** with the creation of a powerful, powerful and wonderful dance. Whether it is a team performance or a single dance, duo dance, neatly organized dance steps tap out the rhythm, in the sense of movement, texture, emotion to give people a **** Ming, each dancer's exquisite skills are people marveled at, each dancer's dedication to the spirit of people also let a person rise up in respect. The ever-changing form of the dance and the unique triangular line, fast but no noise tap sound, so that the dance has a strong sense of hierarchy and penetration, in the visual and auditory have given people an unprecedented shock. The set is a perfect expression of the Irish people's love of nature and reverence for life, and the actors and the set are perfectly integrated, with me in you and you in me. The performance of the Irish Orchestra and the heavenly voice of the choir are the finishing touches.

Especially like the male and female lead dancers' virtuosity and tacit cooperation, the two look at each other in praise of the gaze, can let people feel their love of dance, the joy of success. The woman's side like a great Nicole, beautiful facial contours such as her dance like moving, the man was awarded nine times the world champion of the King of Dance Colin Dunn (COLIN DUNNE), dance excellence, temperament, he exudes a dazzling superstar radiance, with shocking deterrent body language, leading you across time and space, galloping in the dizzying fascination of the Broadway stage above. He performs difficult routines that combine tap and ballet to the fullest extent, and is truly a sight to behold. The tap dance, performed by two black performers, was so free-flowing that it even competed with the King of Dancers, which was also a unique style.

I was also impressed by one of the red soloist, although she is already more than forty years old, and the body has been blossomed and bloated, in the eyes of outsiders, is not suitable for dancing, but she did not give up, with the love of dance and the stage insisted on, and danced exceptionally well, full of passion, set off a new round of climax on the stage. Her solo was one of the highlights of Dance of the River and left a deep impression on the audience.

I think "Dance of the River" is unique in its handling of lighting. Throughout the show, the blue light as the tone and has different levels of shades of change, soft and fun, giving the audience a sense of being in the sky or the sea embrace, not only friendly and comfortable, and then supplemented with red, yellow, gray lights, there is a sense of jumping of the breath of life. For example, in the seventh act of the first scene of the play, "Fire Dance", the lights gradually brighten, the stage is in the midst of a rolling fire, as if countless lives are jumping. At this moment, a reddish-black shadow flashes out, carrying on the rhythm of life. Slowly, the fire of the elves from the sea of fire came out, and at this time the fire also slowly passed away, leaving only the elves in the extremely bewitching dance, and this strong visual contrast and impact is also in my heart a throbbing.

Love dance, love life is full of music and dance. Quietly appreciate, you will feel at this moment only dance is the only can not hide, the mood is also with the "kicking and stamping" ripples away, straight to the inner space. A restless heart, will be as in the dance climax after gradually calm down.

Through this semester's dance appreciation, I feel that I no longer know what I like about dance, but have their own ideas and their own views. I know I can never be a noble dancer, but my heart will always retain a deep attachment to dance, to be a dancer with a dance in his heart, wandering in the world of dance ......

Of course, the traditional Chinese dances have also left a deep impression on me, such as "Drunken Drums", "Soul of the Qin Maid", "Autumn Begonia", etc. But my favorite is still "The Great Drum", which is the most popular dance in China. But my favorite is still "Dance of the River".

I really like tap dance, and I love the strong sense of rhythm. I hope that I will have the chance to be there to see the Dance of the River, and I hope that I will have the chance to learn how to tap dance in the future.

In addition, I would like to say a few words about the course "Dance Appreciation". The teacher taught most of the Chinese dances in the class, such as Han and Tang classical dance, classical dance, folk dance, folk dance, I think it is very good. China's national culture has been neglected, you can take this opportunity to give you a feel for it and learn more about your own country's own things. The national is the world. In addition, there should be an appropriate increase in some of the young people's favorite dances, such as street dance, which can improve the interest of everyone listening to the class.
