I read this issue from the October 2009 issue of Dance Spirit and I thought it was the perfect example of concert detail. The article starts off by saying,
Dancing to the title song from the film Schindler’s List, Ida threw all caution aside physically-hurling herself to the floor, flinging and twisting her limbs in sky-high attitudes and skewed arabesques-and mentally, as well. She seemed to wring emotion out of her body with every gesture, leaving it all behind on the dance floor. Her interpretation was genuine and heartfelt. When her performance was over, the crowd, as if on cue jumped to its feet. By: Kate Lydon I feel as if this section of the article has a lot of concert detail and it makes you feel as if you were sitting there watching her dance. The author of this piece used a lot of wording like hurling, twisting, flinging, sky-high, and wring to get you to use your senses. When she uses the word hurling you can actually see the girl hurling her body into the air as she dances and this puts a visual picture in your head of what she is doing. The author also over emphasis about how high the dancer is jumping by saying she is jumping sky-high, and we all know she is not jumping that high, but it means that she is jumping very high up. The sentence “She seemed to wring emotion out of her body”, gives you the image of like wringing out a wet towel, but it’s the emotion wringing out of her body as she dances. Also the author mentions the dancer leaving it all on the dance floor which ties everything that she explained in concert detail before that. She also tops it off with the crowd jumped to its feet, and then you know for sure that everybody loved her. Also at the beginning of the article she says she threw all caution aside, and that gives you the clue that other dancers she was performing against might have had some caution while they were dancing and they didn’t leave it all on the dance floor like Ida did, and that’s why everybody loved her. All in all the author of this article did a great job of providing a picture of the dance piece Ida performed.
