Ok.... Here is a list of stuff you will need to perform a rain dance Blue or turquoise clothes Blue or turquoise jewelry Cattail headdresses (optional) Open, leveled field 3 cattail braids Hair in bun (if girl) Make sure you are wearing the blue/turquoise clothes and jewelry, cattail headress and hair in a bun. (if girl). Put the cattail braids in a triangle on the ground. Spin around clockwise saying "rain rain come rain" until you fall over. Once you fall take your time to regain your balance. Get up and ask the creator to give rain and tell him good specific reasons why you and others need it. Btw I think you have to be part native American for it to work (like me) if you are not you can still try...... But anyways this ceremony should not be taken lightly, for if done properly it can work. Remember to do this respectfully as you remember the natives.
What does feet positions mean in dance?
The five positions of the feet come from ballet, and are the foundation for many movements in ballet technique.
Aside from static positions (we perform plies at the barre in first, second, fourth, and fifth, and often land jumps in first or fifth), the five positions also create landmarks for the feet to move through during more dynamic movements. For example, the chasse passes through fourth or second position, and assemble is a movement in which your feet meet in fifth in the air.
All five positions are "turned out", meaning the toes point away from the midline of the body, but derivations are used in modern dance and contemporary ballet in which the feet are in parallel.

For me, Dancing is a great way of expressing myself. I have never been good with words; dancing allows me to express things that cannot just be said, whether it be happiness or sadness, anger and rage, joy and elation. It feels like a way to just let things flow without holding back. Dancing is a great way to meet people and connect with people.

How did contemporary dance develop?
This is a huge & complex answer - but in the short term I suggest you look at the life & work of Isadora Duncan who is often quoted as being the mother of contemporary dance. Then you should consider the work of Ruth St Denis, Ted Shawn & Doris Humphrey. After that move on to Martha Graham & later Merce Cunningham & Jose Limon. If you want the development of contemporary dance in the UK you need to look at the impact of Robin Howard (link to Martha Graham) & the London Contemporary Dance Theatre (& Dance School). This includes the work of people like Robert North, Siobhan Davies, Richard Alston, Chris Bruce, and onto some the the current younger British choreographers.
