The Stanford Viennese Ball Opening Committee performs a waltz to the music of Swan Lake, Op. 20, Act I: No. 2, Waltz - Tempo di valse, by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Choreography by Jonathon Yu and Ann Wu. Video by Arun Kulshreshtha.
The people in the crowd absolutely lack decorum. You do not clap and holler like an ape during a dance, play, theatre, ballet, etc. You sit, you watch, you clap when the dance or act is over. Dear lord
1) Too much present focus + commercialized arts 2) These mid + late 19th c. dances were + somewhat still are popularvamonh many non white people in S America, Caribbean. Philippines. Cape Verde,. Seychelles. Mauritius.even reaching some in Japan. China.
just NO, white dresses are wedding dresses? beach? communion? and the men look like butlers. Horrendous, the choreography itself is good, but that type of dance was not used with those songs. What a pathetic thing I just saw my god
umm they are literally dancing to (Swan Lake, Op. 20, Act I: No. 2, Waltz - Tempo di valse) and you're telling me this type of dance(Waltz) is not supposed to be used with these types of songs(Waltzes)??????? u tarded
LOL Paola, they are recreating an 18th-century Viennese ball. The girls in white dresses/men in white gloves is the traditional costuming of the first dance, and historically correct. The opening dance was reserved for "debutantes", it is the coming-out portion of the ball. The girls would be presented to society as "eligible for marriage", and would dance with a male partner in a black suit with white gloves. Look up videos of the Elmayer Ball in Vienna. They still carry on the tradition. If you search the specific video title: "Vienna, Austria: Ball Season", it will bring you to a clip where the traditional costuming is explained.
