What are female ballet dancers called?
Ballerina.
The funny thing is that the term "ballerina" refers to a PRINCIPAL dancer in a ballet company, not any girl who takes ballet. But now the term seems to apply to any little lady in the craft. But... the real official term (though little-known) is "danseuse."
A predicate adjective is an adjective that follows a linking verb. It modifies the subject of the sentence. For example:
Movies are popular throughout Europe and America.
Popular is a predicate adjective, because it modifies Movies and comes after the linking verb are. Linking verb examples:
-am
-are
-is
-was
-were
-be
-being
-been
-appear
-seem
-remain
-etc.
In the case of your sentence "Nearly 150 years later a talented ballet dancer appeared in the same city", you should break apart the sentence.
The basic structure of linking verbs are:
_subject_|_linking verb_\_predicate noun_
_subject_|_linking verb_\_predicate adjective_
For example:
-I am calm. Calm is a Predicate noun
-The storm is frightening. Frightening is a present participle acting as a predicate adjective
If you use all of these tips, you should come up with the answer:
*drum roll*
*pause for effect*
Talented
To get this you list out the adjectives:
-talented
-same
-ballet
-later
Later comes after a noun
Ballet comes after an adjective
Same comes after an article
So talented is the only one that comes after an article acting as a linking verb, therefore making talented a predicate adjective.
What are the examples of aerobic dances?
Aerobic as applied to metabolism-6in cells of the body, or in microorganisms, means oxygen-utilizing. Aerobic metabolism occurs in most animal cells, and depends upon the presence of mitochondria, in which the key chemical processes take place. Aerobic bacteria inhabit the body surface and orifices - they do not have mitochondria. Aerobic exercise is that which is sustainable in balance with oxygen intake - for example, a 10 km race, or any milder rhythmic exercise.
How did bob fosse alter the video recording of dance?
This is a great question. I did my thesis undergrad on Bob Fosse and am a professional musical theatre choreographer myself and I am an afficionado of all of Fosse's work. The first thing I'd like to add is that Fosse was crazy about filters when filming. He loved using different color/hued filters when filming a scene...he used them like crazy in SWEET CHARITY (his first film as director) and CABARET. Secondly, in terms of the actual filming of scenes, I believe he was one of the first to not just film with a static "in one place" camera pov, but he actually started filming just body parts and using rapid cutting to achieve the approximation of the kinetic effect of live dance. (ie: the shot of just the 3 hands of Shirley Maclaine, Chita Rivera and Paula Kelly snapping in the rooftop "There's Gotta Be Something Better Than This" number in the film SWEET CHARITY). This style was heavily borrowed by MTV in the early 80s and influenced a whole generation of music video makers who created works for Paula Abdul, Michael Jackson and etc..etc...
