Dancetime Publications videos provide instruction, historical context, and entertainment for all dance lovers. Through our film documentaries and videos, novices, experts, choreographers, students, and teachers relive the music, fashion, and movements that comprise the heritage of Western dance. Dancetime Publications maintains a partnership with Amazon.com to provide reliable, excellent service a

nd access to a constantly growing variety of dance videos, such as in-depth studies of traditional and contemporary ballet, international folk, modern, jazz, and tap styles. Built upon decades of research and hundreds of years of artifacts, our repertoire of digital media seeks to fill gaps in the study of social dance. We begin our collection with the social dances of 15th and 16th century renaissance Italian courts, such as the dignified ballo and the lively volta. Next, we reach deep into the 17th and 18th century French baroque court, where elegant minuets and intricate court dances gave rise to many of our classical traditions, including ballet. Follow the evolution of dance into 19th century romantic waltzes, quadrilles, and cotillions, and watch as we plunge into the 20th century, when America’s multicultural roots shaped contemporary dance movements. Dance fads such as ragtime, jazz, and hip-hop were born from Latin and African-American roots in ballrooms and urban street scenes.

Paint Loudoun Red (2/2/24) was a phenomenal event!! I had the opportunity to be a part of this awesome moment and as CEO of and , I’m not only a business owner but a scholar and archivist of dance and performer!

I recall early in my career I was asked what I wanted to do with dance and I would say: “dance, teach dance and write about dance” … I’d get a frown, some confusion… even dismay … “you have to pick one!”, a typical response … During my doctoral studies in dance I was told: “scholar or an artist, you have to choose!” That never made sense to me … how could I dance, understand movement, culture (every culture has movement and dance) and allow myself to think through dance, make sense of the world through movement without wrapping my mind around it in ways possible?! I never lost sight of what made sense to me in my body and in my brain about movement and dance and that being a tool for expression and understanding.

I was grateful to have been a part of this event with my family and with the community ❤️❤️! Honored to be invited and share my story through words and movement.

Awareness. Advocacy. Actionability. It’s been 11 years since the discovery of the holes in my heart and what the journey was to discovery, repair and post repair has been something I still cannot believe I’ve gone through. ❣️🥰 I aim to live everyday to the fullest!

Looking forward to this phenomenal event!! Always passionate about healthy hearts and sharing my journey and testimony to inspire others. Awareness. Advocacy. Actionability. It’s been 11 years since the discovery of the holes in my heart and what the journey was to discovery, repair and post repair has been something I still cannot believe I’ve gone through. Were there any signs? What did I feel? What were my two heart procedures like? Do I have a pace maker? How do I maintain my health today? How do I balance the daily ins and outs of motherhood/family and career and wait for it … low stress - cause happy healthy hearts do not like stress - this and more from myself and other panelists on healthy hearts at Paint Loudoun Red❣️🥰

Have you seen the Google Doodle today?! If not... Check it out! is honored to be a part of this AMAZING project 💖!!!

In the most eloquent, savviest, and resilient ways, we continue to use our voice, especially through the language of dance. We create spaces when they don't exist and move even when others attempt to silence our voices and minoritize our human spirit.
💖
But we invent, reinvent and carry out our spirit in the most creative and visionary ways from the most astounding places. We keep going.
💖
The Savoy Ballroom; a gem of American History. A space and the dances of the people to be honored.
💖
“Today’s interactive game Doodle celebrates swing dancing and the Savoy Ballroom—an iconic Swing Era dance hall that thrived from the 1920s to 50s in New York City’s Harlem neighborhood. On this day in 2002, Frankie Manning and Norma Miller, two of members of Whitey's Lindy Hoppers, unveiled a commemorative plaque where its entrance once stood.
💖
The Savoy Ballroom made history as one of the first racially integrated public spaces in United States when it opened its doors with a no-discrimination policy in 1926...”

Wishing You a Prosperous Chinese New Year from Dancetime Publications! 🐲🦁🐉 Many gorgeous creatures are common at celebrations and parades during Chinese New Year! Here is how we tell the difference between Dragon and Lion Dances at celebrations aside from seeing them as two different beautiful animals decked out in design and fancy ... the performers who manipulate them from the inside! Dragon costumes are controlled by many performers within the costume in order to manipulate the body of the dragon and guide the poles where necessary which mount and frame the creatures body. Lion costumes have two performers within the costume; one performer who controls the hindquarters and the second who controls the mouth, head and front legs. #chinesenewyear #chinese #traditionalart #tradition #dancetimepublications #costume #costumedesign #parade #celebration #culture #dragon #lion #yearoftheox #year #newyear #prosperous #chineseliondance #chineselion #chinesedance #chinesedancer
