Ballet 1, 10270
Madame Butterfly

and Barbara Bears. I attended the ballet on October 2nd, 2016. The
dance I chose to discuss was the dance after Cio-Cio (Butterfly) and
The first thing I noticed before the dance even began was the
Pinkerton (because they danced together the entire dance) and the
music was long and dramatic, which fit the mood they were trying to
set up. The two ballerinas danced as one the entire dance because it
(the principal male ballerina) mainly just supported Cio-Cio during this
dance, along with the rest of the dances in the performance. When she
was in the air, she would make grand movements with her arms and
feet; she seemed like she was almost doing an arabesque in the air.
Cio-Cio spent most of the time in releve, which made her look more
very flowy, which paved the way towards a graceful and calming
setting. Although there was only one spotlight, the stage was bright
dance was clearly narrative which was shown by the story being told
through the fact that there is a storyline and pantomime. The intent of
watching the performance, it is clear that the two people are in love, so
through their grand movements and use of the stage. I do believe that
ballerinas gestures made it obvious that this was a dance about love
complex dance moves could have been added that were more specific
dances, I noticed that they used many techniques that stemmed from
ballet. I probably would not recommend this to someone under the age
some history before watching it. This dance did not really move me in
a way that I know think of ballet differentlyI still love ballet as much
