Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What does the ballet term "tombe" mean in English?

Answer: Fall

Tombe is a French word that means fall. It is a ballet movement where you sort of "fall" with your feet.

2. There was a new movie in 2003 called "Honey" in which HipHop was basically the main dance. True or False?

Answer: True

Its a really cool movie, and I think all people who are even remotely interested in dance should go see it. I do Hip Hop myself.

3. Hip Hop and Funk Jazz are often used in many pop music videos.

Answer: True

If you really study a pop video, like Britney Spears for instance, you could call the dance moves she does and the dance moves her dancers do Hip Hop.

4. Which famous Italian ballet dancer studied dance at Teatro all Scalla?

Answer: Alessandra Ferri

Alessandra Ferri is one of my favorite ballet dancers and I really think you should do an internet search on her. She is very interesting to read about.

5. What of the following is essential in good dance?

Answer: All of them

All of these are essential in dancing, because you need balance and good posture for all the moves you do. If you don't have these values, then you will most likely fall. Plus, if you don't have attitude, you'll look like you don't know how to dance. Even if you are a beginner, attitude will make you look like you've been dancing for 10 years or more.

6. What is extremely important while turning so you don't get dizzy and fall?

Answer: A focus point

If you don't have a focus point while spinning, you will get dizzy and possibly stumble horrifically during the rest of your routine. It is also true in ice skating, but that's a different subject.

7. What sort of shoes do you need for HipHop?

Answer: Sneakers

Sneakers can be helpful while dancing HipHop. You can move, spin, turn, and slide easily. You can also use tennies or just socks, but they are a little hard to move around freely in.

8. Which of these is the best beverage to drink while dancing?

Answer: Water

Citric acid, found in orange juice, can sometimes make you tired, and caffeine could be overstimulating during vigorous exercise. Beer or wine might make you feel relaxed and inspired to dance, but they are not likely to help you concentrate on your steps.

9. "Scuffing" is mostly a move of what type of dance?

Answer: Tap

Scuff can be a part of any dance originally, but tap is where it is most commonly heard of. You basically take your foot with tap shoes on and swipe it from the back to the front or side to side.

10. HipHop originated from what major dance in the 20's and 30's?

Answer: Jazz

HipHop is somewhat like Jazz, but in HipHop the moves are more pronounced and modern than Jazz.
