"By concentraƭng on form and the whole ensemble" Through form and the ensemble, bypassing uncertainties of individual dancers. Edwin Denby wrote that Balanchine had to find a way for Americans to look grand and noble, yet not be embarrassed about it. The Russian way is for each dancer to feel what he is expressing' The Americans weren't ready to do that. By concentrating on form and the whole ensemble, Balanchine rvas able to bypass the uncertainties of the individual dancer' The thrill of Serenade depends on the sweetness of the bond between all the young dancers. The dancing and the behavior are as exact as in a strict ballet class. The bond is made by the music, by the hereditary classic steps, and by a collective look the dancers in action have unconsciously their American young look. That local look had never before been used as a dramatic effect in classic ballet. ­­pg. 35, Horowitz, Americans in Exile. 2/1/2018 Midterm Exam: DANCE 101 A Su 17: Dance And The American Experience Question 24 1 / 1 pts 2/1/2018 Midterm Exam: DANCE 101 A Su 17: Dance And The American Experience https://canvas.uw.edu/courses/1147604/quizzes/965148 16/16 (1 points): List the name of the dance for Video #4: Barrelhouse Blues The Barrelhouse Blues Barrelhouse Blues "The Barrelhouse Blues" Barrel house blues the barrel house blues Quiz Score: 45.33 out of 50 [Show More]
