Download or read book Experiencing the Art of Pas de Deux written by Jennifer C. Kronenberg and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2016-08-16 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An insightful read from one of the ballet world’s most beloved married couples!"--Melinda Roy, former principal dancer, New York City Ballet "Wonderfully complete and instructive, written by two artists who have lived what they write about and are sharing their life experience from a deep and very human viewpoint. Bravo!"--Donald Mahler, former director, Metropolitan Opera Ballet "Perfect for inspiring dancers who want to learn more about the art of partnering."--Lauren Jonas, cofounder and artistic director, Diablo Ballet "An effective and lively resource to add to a dancer and teacher’s partnering skills toolkit."--Dean Speer, author of On Technique Traditionally, the pas de deux was designed as an interlude during longer ballets and showcased a ballerina’s skills. The male was a guide to her movements and steps, an unwavering extension of the ballerina. Today the pas de deux occupies a central role in dances and the reliance on a male’s strength has given way to endless modifications. Respect, patience, intuition, and awareness are just as significant as technique and the best partners communicate through breath, eye contact, and musical cues. In Experiencing the Art of Pas de Deux, professional dance couple Jennifer Carlynn Kronenberg and Carlos Miguel Guerra demystify the physical, emotional, and artistic intricacies that allow two to dance as one. They examine key components often overlooked in classes and textbooks, such as how to build and maintain the connections necessary for a trusting and successful team. Illuminating pas de deux work from both male and female perspectives, they detail the specific responsibilities of each partner. Step-by-step instructions are provided for proper posture, lifts, promenades, turns, and even dance conditioning--and QR code–accessible videos provide brief demonstrations of new and complex movements. Each chapter also includes personal anecdotes, offering a rare and intimate look at how partners can support one another and discover the inner workings of the finest and most memorable dances. Jennifer Carlynn Kronenberg is a former principal dancer with the Miami City Ballet. She has conducted master classes for Ballet Chicago and Ballet de Monterrey, among other companies and schools. She is the author of So, You Want to Be a Ballet Dancer? Carlos Miguel Guerra is a former principal dancer with the Miami City Ballet. He studied and worked with Fernando Alonso in Cuba, Ivan Nagy in Chile, and Edward Villella in Miami.

Download or read book Social Dancing of To Day Classic Reprint written by John Murray Anderson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-10 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Dancing of to-Day Those who take up the study of the new dances sometimes express discouragement with the frequency of change in both steps and names. In the course of evolving these. Dances, a vast number of steps and figures have been tried. Though most of them have dropped out of use, their introduction has caused serious confusion. The remedy lies in a definite course of simplifying and sutndardizing; and that is the course upon which the most influential teachers have decided. The steps and figures described in this book (which is reprinted from The Dance, a work embracing the chore graphic art in general) have the essential character of the dances to which they respectively belong. They have passed through a period of probation amply sufilcient to prove their possession of the beauty and dignity that are necessary to permanency.
