Dance Critique
I do not like Modern dance very much, however; this was a very nice performance. There was a variety of dances, lighting, costumes, and attitude. I thought the first dance was exciting and entertaining. The second dance, "by a thread", was confusing to me. I was not quite sure what it was about, and the costumes were bland.

I did not understand the meaning of the dance so much, but I was impressed with it. It was so different then any of the other dances. It is also different then anything in our culture. Like at weddings, we do the Chicken Dance. In India, they do in depth dances like what Mani demonstrated. The bells on...
