Balachine brought ballet to America in 1933.

There is a song by LeeAnn Womack called "I Hope You Dance." I'm not sure if that is what you are looking for, but it's a very good song.

There's a song by The Nolans called I'm In the Mood for Dancing that includes a line, so dance... just dance..., but I wouldn't really call it country.

cha cha, salsa, samba

Other names for line dancing include "country Line Dancing" bootscooting or boot scootin', but I guess you could branch out to include "Soul Line Dancing" and Hip Hop Line Dancing.

When ballet dancers do the splits in the air it is usually called a spilt leap or a center leap.

She trained at the Arts Educational School and the Royal Ballet School, she was later employed by the Royal Ballet, where she became principal.

Dance: "At any and all times, the helix gives geometrical testimony to the concept that communication while moving forward is at the same moment coming back upon itself and being affected by its past behavior, for the coming curve of the helix is fundamentally affected by the curve from which it emerges. Yet, even though slowly, the helix can gradually free itself from its lower-level distortions. The communication process, like the helix, is constantly moving forward and yet is always to some degree dependent upon the past, which informs the present and the future. The helical communication model offers a flexible communication process" [p. 296].

The next step is tricky you might want to watch a video to aid you with the actions: Keep your left hand still from the upper cut you have just done and punch your left hand under it and back, slapping your forearm with your right hand. while yelling: "puhuruhuru" (poo-hoo-roo-hoo-roo)

Step 5:

Ok, due to request I will include the translation: ka mate ka mate:I die i die ka ora: I live, tenei te tangata puhuru huru: here comes the hairy man nanana nei tiki mai:who fetched the sun "whakiwhiti te ra":and caused it to shine again a upa...ne:one step forward whiti te ra: the sun shines again hi:YEAH!

Legend has it the story of the haka is a chief was running away from an invading tribe that had destroyed his village. He ran to another village where he was known and requested help. the village chief hid him in the hangi pit which his wife sat on, knowing no warrior would disrespect the chiefs wife by asking to look under her skirt.

The chief waited in the dark not knowing if he was going to be betrayed to his death. When the door to the pit opened he climbed the stairs saying

ka mate ka mate (not knowing if he would die....)

ka ora ka ora (or live)

tenei te tangata puhuru huru (the village chief was quite hairy)

nanana nei tiki mai whakiwhiti te ra (the sun after being in the pit was blinding)

forward whiti te ra hi (the chief is very happy that he has not been betrayed and celebrates)

The song is "After Dark" by Tito & the Tarantulas

The Ghost Dance was a near- Christian religious ceremony that if properly performed would bring the bison back, all dead warriors back and victory over the white invaders.

More importantly, the Ghost Dance offered hope to a people whose spirit was eroding which is why it got outlawed by the whites. The whites needed to break the Indian spirit to control them, something they never truly accomplished.

NOTE:

It should also be noted that the "Ghost Dance" started with a Paiute named Wovoka who had allegedly had a vision of God. It was 'synthesized' as it was accepted into each tribe; so its meaning may change dependent on which tribe the reference is made from.

easy James brown

It is called the Horă

A lot..... but its kinda cool

That depends what you mean by "type". There are general types, such as chamber music, folk, swing and country or there are specific dances such as the waltz, the gavotte, the minuet or the volte.
