Question

Imagine you’re going to planning a cultural meeting between the embassies of the Dominican Republic and the United States. Decide if you would like to represent the Dominican or the US embassy. Then, choose a cultural product. It may be music, dance, festivals, food, sports, clothing, etc. You will conduct research about it and write a post in English of 100 to 150 words.

Answer 1

Here is what I got:

Until the 20th century, most dancers could work professionally only on the popular stage – music halls, burlesque, and vaudeville. Vaudeville shows featured tap, and toe dancing, comic and character dance sketches, adagio teams and ballroom dancers, skirt dancing, artistic or interpretive dancing, and specialty numbers in various ethnic styles. Even though the first known “ballet” in America was arranged in 1735 by Henry Holt, an English dancing master, until the 20th century, few permanent organizations were capable of presenting full ballet productions and ballet remained a high-toned addition to spectacle or an appendage of opera.
