Dance Theatre of Harlem comes to Daytona Beach

ADC Dancers cut ballet class short to see the show!

ADC dancers and teachers attended a performance of Dance Theatre of Harlem at Bethune Cookman last night.  The performance was nothing short of gorgeous!  The artists (dancers) were breathtaking as they skimmed across the stage effortlessly with grace and poise.  What a treat to see that level of professional dance in Daytona Beach, now we are looking forward to Swan Lake next the end of this month on February 27th!

Dance Theatre of Harlem

Inspired by a dream...
Dance Theatre of Harlem is a leading dance institution of unparalleled global acclaim, encompassing a performing Ensemble, a leading arts education center and Dancing Through Barriers®, a national and international education and community outreach program. Each component of Dance Theatre of Harlem carries a solid commitment towards enriching the lives of young people and adults around the world through the arts.

Founded in 1969 by Arthur Mitchell and Karel Shook, Dance Theatre of Harlem was considered “one of ballet’s most exciting undertakings” (The New York Times, 1971). Shortly after the assassination of The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Mitchell was inspired to start a school that would offer children — especially those in Harlem, the community in which he was born — the opportunity to learn about dance and the allied arts. Now in its fourth decade, Dance Theatre of Harlem has grown into a multi-cultural dance institution with an extraordinary legacy of providing opportunities for creative expression and artistic excellence that continues to set standards in the performing arts. Dance Theatre of Harlem has achieved unprecedented success, bringing innovative and bold new forms of artistic expression to audiences in New York City, across the country and around the world.

The Benefits Of Learning To Dance For One's Health And Social Life

Most people like the feel of their bodies moving according to a specific rhythm. Others prefer doing it in private while some get hyped up with the presence of other people. Dancing is an activity that encompasses age, gender and social structures. In addition to that, one gets access to the many benefits of learning to dance.

Dance is basically the movement of one's body, anyone can actually dance or formally learn to dance. There are no restrictions in terms of how old or young a person can be to enjoy the benefits of dance.  In fact, more and more people are starting to realize and fully benefit from the good things that dancing brings. For one, it is highly entertaining compared to the gym routines that eventually tend to be boring. In addition to that, it really puts the entire body to work. In fact, one can burn a minimum of 400 calories when dancing continuously for about half an hour.

A standout health-related benefit of dancing is flexibility. This is acquired eventually as one works from one movement to another in a dance routine. Aside from the set stretching exercises at the start of every dance class, most of the steps when dancing actually help in developing and continuously improving one's overall flexibility.

Another one of the many healthy benefits of learning to dance is endurance. Since dancing is a physical activity, it makes the body work for a period of time. As one gets to dance more and more, the muscles gain the ability to work longer over time.

As dancing exercises the body physically, it also works on the social skills in every individual. Except for those who prefer dancing in private, most dancers get to enjoy their favorite moves in the presence of others or while performing for others. Some join dance classes while others simply love to go out dancing.

Because humans are sociable by nature, it is common to people meet other people who share the same love and passion for dance moves as they are. Whether it is ballet or the more social dancing clubs, they give individuals a chance to move their bodies to the beat and at the same time meet some new acquaintances and possibly even develop lasting relationships and friendships.

There are also people who find relaxation and peace of mind in dancing. This is mostly related to ballet dancing, ballroom dancing and modern dancing. Other people, on the other hand, find dancing as the perfect way of expressing what they truly feel inside such as in krumping and other similar street styles of dance. Still for some others, dancing is a way of life. It helps say what is hard to say. It helps do what is hard to do. It can build confidence and define their individuality. With the many benefits of learning to dance, there is no doubt that this is one activity every individual should try out at least once in their lifetime!
