<h2><u>The South African Gumboot Dance</u></h2>
Perhaps the most recognizable dance in the show, the gumboot dance originated during apartheid-era South Africa. The dance gets its name from the thick rubber rain boots (think modern day Hunter Boots) known as “gumboots” or “wellingtons” worn by migrant laborers who were employed in diamond and coal mines. The apartheid government enacted laws that restricted these workers from speaking to one another, so they developed their own means of communication: using the sounds and stomps of their gumboots as a form of morse-code. The movement eventually transformed into a dance, which became particularly popular during the fight against apartheid and even became a protest symbol. Those involved in the Struggle would participate in the gumboot dance as a way to express their unification in the fight against the oppressive government. Even after the official end of apartheid in 1994, the gumboot dance remained a symbol of hope and solidarity. This dance made its way into popular culture as well, with Paul Simon writing a song titled “Gumboots” featured on his touchstone album Graceland. The formation of the gumboot dance marks a pivotal point in both the history of South Africa, as it symbolized the fight against a powerful regime, as well as in the history of dance, as it became the foundation for the development of step-dancing.

"Feudal" or "medieval" Japan had a social structure that merged with social and economic hierarchies. The Emperor was the top of social logic, having absolute power over the kingdom. Shogun was the military and political leader. The Daimyos, military nobles, represented the Shoguns, but they were subjugated by those. Beneath them were the well-known Samurai, loyal to the shoguns and daimyos. They were professional warriors and had social prestige, even though they had no voice in political decision making. Below them were the Ronin, a kind of socially unimportant samurai, serving as bodyguards or mercenaries. Peasants, artisans, and merchants made up the rest of the classes, most of the Japanese population at the time, generally poor and without any political power, were the basis of society, which had a mobility that was virtually impossible to achieve.

George Creel headed the Committee on Public Information
during the time the U.S. joined the First World War. They used every method
within their disposal to convince Americans to support the war effort. They used printing posters, radio programs
and even the movies to convince public opinion that it was necessary for
America to take part in the war.
