go to your nearest pow wow and get your self an Indian taco and whach the grass dance
*******
The grass dance is a very traditional dance used by the Plains tribes primarily. It is also amazing to watch and takes many years to perfect. Years ago, grass dancers would be sent into the area where a nomadic tribe was going to set up camp. In the spirit of never hurting the earth mother, their responsibility was to lay the tall grasses down in such a way as to bend them, not break them. Thus the land could be left as untouched as possible once the tribe moved on. It was a very spiritual dance and difficult to learn. It is also one of the most amazing, but not flashy, dances to watch.

George Balanchine was the renown and famous Russian choreographer, founder of the School of American Ballet and the New York City Of Ballet. He composed countless works for his company. And not only. But he changed the whole look and feel of ballet. He was primarily more responsible for making ballet more like modern dance. Although he was best known for his interpretation of "The Nutcracker," he prefered ballet without costumes and plots. Dance that just spoke for itself. He was a mentor and a father figure to super-star dancers such as Edward Villella, Peter Martins, Suzanne Farrell and Gelsey Kirkland. Seeing as how he never had children of his own, he treated the dancers in his company like his own kids. He died in 1983 of complications from a terminal disease. Discipile Peter Martins was made the sole heir to the City Ballet and the School of American Ballet. Martins retired form dancing in 1983 to run the companies as absolute chairman. And to choreograph.
