Accordions Rising offers entertaining, conversational style interviews, anecdotal commentary and both formal and informal music performances from celebrated accordionists, composers and bands working in America today. These musicians make up the colorful and thoughtful cast of characters who drive the story by tracing their uniquely personal attractions to the instrument and sharing their surprisingly divergent paths: from immigrant roots, Creole or Roma beginnings, for example, to a recognition of the very special niche this so-called 'low art' form provides for inspirations in jazz, classical, new music, pop, fusion forms, operatic styles and beyond. The film provides a tapestry of fascinating individuals, their attitudes, deep passions, and above of all else, profound dedication to the instrument. We learn that though still a rebellious lot, these music makers have an audience in some of the hippest hide-a-ways and most sought after mainstream venues. The film makes clear that the so-called 'accordion world' is actually a curious continuum that includes everything from whacky and kitsch to sophisticated, serious, meditative and post modern. As Dr. William Schimmel points out, 'the accordion is the icon of the 21st century.'

This barre is for the advanced dancer or any dancer that wants a full body challenge. It is a warm-up for the day, before a rehearsal, or in preparation for a performance. Taught at a fast pace, it focuses on the articulation and presentation of the legs and feet while keeping the upper body lifted and calm and the core stable.
By approaching the barre with an entire body awareness and a particularly responsive plié to the changes in the pianist’s tempo and rhythm, musicality becomes another important focus in this class.
Megan directly notes some additional thoughts for those taking this class:
“The dancer should use the Épaulment, finding beautiful positions for the neck, cheekbones, and the face in relation to collarbones, back, and the arms (and of course the rest of the body).
You should try to display all the fingers as the individual members they are without creating a floppy aesthetic... this is quite a challenge... And of course, remember to keep the elbows lifted, the arms in front of your torso, and the greatest elongation of the legs, even as you fight for speed and try to remain secure in balances.
Everything originates from a very crossed fifth, so keeping the inner things and the rotation of the legs engaged is absolutely necessary.
By the end of the barre the dancer should be aware of their placement, both sides of their body, and feel “on their leg”, so to speak.
Approach the class with a strong technical purpose. But don’t forget the lyrical and beautiful feeling of dancing to the music from the beginning to the end.
And remember, you are preparing your body to be on display for an audience (if you are a professional dancer) so the way you work should show that you have taken into account presenting yourself in the most strong and beautiful way possible!”
Music: Miro Migliore
