Event 1: Aids Benefit Concert

This past sunday I went to a Aids benefit dance concert. I really enjoyed this, because dancing is my passion. There was many different dance teams, and they came from all types of cultural backgrounds. We had Latin, Hiphop, Contemporary, Ballet, and even Bollywood! For those of you who do not know what Bollywood is it is a type of dance done in India. My favorite dance group would definately have to be the Bollywood dancers because I love the cultural aspect of their dance. Their costumes were soo beautiful, and made of these ellaborate colors that added soo much too the expressions of their dance. The host of the show was a character all on his own. He was an older man dressed in an Africen disheki gown that draped the floors. He was very loud and I guess he knew a lot about African history, because he used a lot of African terms. One of the things he did to help get interaction with the audience was he had this african phrase that basically meant a call for attention. The people would respond back with a saying that meant that they were listening and giving their full attention. I thought this was a great technique of insider/ outsider relationship because the host used his insed knowlegde of the African language to help engage the outsiders, which was the audience, in the show. Like I said I truely enjoyed the show and I cant wait to get on stage and perform myself.
