This study discusses one of the dance arts in Pandeglang Banten, namely the Dhikr Saman dance. This dance is one culture that is able to carry Islamic values. The emergence of the Dhikr Saman dance culture is from a tarekat called Samaniyah brought by Sheikh Muhammad bin Abd Karim al-Samman from Aceh in the 18th century, by modifying the teachings of the Khalwiyat, Qadiriyah, Naqsabandiyah and Syadziliyah orders. This study aims to reveal how the role of the Dhikr Saman dance uses the structural functional theory analysis tool proposed by Talcot Parsons. The results of this study reveal that the Dhikr Saman Dance art is able to give a role in spreading Islamic values in the Pandeglang community in the aspects of religion and culture, but after 2009 the Dhikr Saman Dance no longer has an important role in the Society due to more modern thought changes brought by Muhammadiyah, which suggests that Islamic values contained in the Dhikr Saman dance are impure teachings.Keywords: Influence, Islamic Culture, Dhikr Saman, Pandeglang Studi ini membahas tentang salah satu seni budaya Tari di Pandeg¬lang Banten yaitu tari Zikir Saman. Seni tari ini merupakan salah satu budaya yang mampu membawa nilai-nilai Islam. Munculnya budaya tari Zikir Saman yaitu dari sebuah tarekat yang bernama Samaniyah yang dibawa oleh Syekh Muhammad bin Abd Karim al-Samman dari Aceh pada abad ke-18 M, dengan cara memodifikasi ajaran tarekat Khalwiyat, Qadiriyah, Naqsabandiyah dan Syadziliyah. Studi ini bertujuan meng¬ungkap bagaimana peran seni tari Zikir Saman dengan menggunakan alat analisis teori fungsionalisme struktural yang dikemukakan oleh Talcot Parsons. Hasil dari studi ini mengungkapkan bahwa seni tari Zikir Saman mampu memberikan peran dalam menyebarkan nilai-nilai Islam di kalangan Masyarakat Pandeglang dalam aspek agama dan budaya, akan tetapi setelah tahun 2009 tari Zikir Saman tidak lagi mempunyai peran penting dalam Masyarakat karena adanya perubahan pemikiran yang lebih modern yang dibawa oleh Muhammadiyah, yang menggap bahwa nilai-nilai Islam yang terkandung dalam seni tari Zikir Saman merupakan ajaran yang sudah tidak murni.Kata Kunci: Pengaruh, Seni Budaya Islam, Zikir Saman, Pandeglang

Within the Indian classical dance style of bharatanāṭyam, performers traditionally embody the stories of Hindu gods and goddesses. This paper discusses selected examples of how Christian themes have been incorporated into the art form by both Hindu and non-Hindu participants, including the adaptation of the aesthetics of the nāyikā, a female heroine yearning for her absent beloved. In an extended case study, I examine the presentation of one such unique nāyikā, a Christian Indian woman who contracts HIV from her husband, in particular demonstrating how various gesture sequences draw upon the recognizable, empathetic foundation of the suffering heroine to depict the realities of the illness of HIV. The despair and pain of the nāyikā, and the role of a sakhī as sympathetic doctor, invite audiences into a familiar aesthetic framework that also creates receptivity towards a significant social critique.

Continuing to view what was most likely the greatest number of preeminent ballerinas ever to have been assembled on a single stage within so brief a period of time, Volynsky recreates the vivid and increasingly vulnerable world of Petersburg/Petrograd/Leningrad’s storied Maryinsky Theater. In gripping language and with his characteristically admirable visual acuity and impressive mastery of dance vocabulary, Volynsky makes us feel as if we were ourselves spectators at these dance performances. With his male gaze always at work, Volynsky emblemizes the prophet who possesses lofty opinions about the past, present, and future of ballet in Russia, and with no less zeal as he fights any attempt to defeminize dance culture or marginalize the great art of classical dance.

In classical dance, jumping movements play a very special role. Allegro is the summit of male dance and an integral part of female dance. A successful mastery of jumping movements in class is essential for their effortless execution on stage, which helps to create a memorable and multi-faceted artistic portrayal. The specific nature of modern art in the new millennium lies in the broadening of choreographic language and transformations in the aesthetics of executing jumping movements.

Указано на вихідні положення танцю модерн: опозиційність класичному танцю як втілення ідеї модернізму про розрив із традицією; увага до внутрішнього життя особистості, її психоемоційних станів; природність та свобода зовнішніх пластично-хореографічних проявів; вплив ритмопластичних теорій (провідна роль ритму, переважно внутрішнього). На основі історико-хронологічного та філогенетичного підходів прослідковано основний шлях ґенези та розвитку танцю модерн від індивідуальних виконавських стилів (Л. Фуллер, А. Дункан) через перші спроби створення системи (Т. Шоун, Р. Сен-Деніс) до формування та усталення технік та шкіл (М. Грем, Д. Хамфрі, Ч. Вейдман, Р. Лабан). Пластична мобільність та імпровізаційність танцю модерн зумовлює залежність хореографічної лексики, пластичних нюансів, ритму, настрою від фізичних можливостей,темпераменту, рівня танцювальної підготовки конкретних танцівників.Ключові слова: танець модерн, виконавські стилі, техніки танцю модерн, хореографія. The article points out the starting points of the modern dance: opposition to classical dance as the embodiment of the idea of modernism about breaking with tradition; attention to the inner life of the personality, its psycho-emotional states; naturalness and freedom of external plastic-choreographic manifestations; the influence of rhythmoplastic theories (the leading role of rhythm, mainly internal). Based on historical-chronological and phylogenetic approaches, the mainpath of the genesis and development of modern dance from individual performing styles (L. Fuller, I. Duncan) through the first attempts to create a system (T. Shawn, R. Saint-Denis) to the formation and strengthening of techniques is traced. and schools (M. Graham, D. Humphrey, C. Weidman, R. Laban). Plastic mobility and improvisation of modern dance determines the dependence of choreographic vocabulary, plastic nuances, rhythm, mood on the possibilities,temperament, level of dance training of specific dancers.Key words: modern dance, performing styles, modern dance techniques, choreography.

Modernism came to Mexico before its revolution as evinced by its embrace of early modern dancer Loïe Fuller. The revolution spawned social changes that allowed the emerging “new woman” to link revolutionary values and theatrical dance. Defining what post-revolutionary Mexican theatrical dance was to be proved problematic as ballet, folk dance, and modern dance vied for prominence. One of the constants was a desire to be both “national” and “universal.” Educator José Vasconcelos’ decision to incorporate folk dancing into the curriculum of Mexico’s public school system in the hopes of establishing a classical dance culture helped cement a national identity that would prove both locally popular and exportable. Painter Miguel Covarrubias led what would be known as the Golden Age of nationalist modern dance in the 1950s, it would be supplanted by balleticized folk dancing in the 1960s.

In the context of the research effort of the Ancient Orchesis Study Group to reconstitute the philosophical and wider cultural presuppositions that define the ancient Greek dance culture, from which the Greek-speaking and Roman world was removed, to return with the Renaissance in a new European context, along with the recognition of the basic anthropological, on the one hand, aesthetic, on the other hand, criteria and principles of art and, in particular, of dance expression, we attempt a review of certain concepts like θεραπεία, κάθαρσις, ἔρως and finally δρᾶμα, χορός & ὄρχησις-which stand for characteristic phenomena of ancient Greek culture. This article plays the role of an introduction into the philosophical-historical investigation and understanding of concepts of intrinsic importance in the question about relating philosophy with art and therapy in the ancient world.

Abstract The fourteen papers delivered at a conference on Roman dance in June 2019 set about correcting the widespread idea that dance was marginal and held in low esteem in Rome. They elucidated different contexts in which dance was central, especially religion, the theatre, and private entertainments, and further topics included cultural interactions on the Italian peninsula, the diversity of practitioners, the political role of dance, and dance images in poetry. The conference showed not only that further study of Roman dance is necessary, but also that dance is a valuable tool that allows us to think about what we mean when we talk about ‘Roman’ culture.
