When Pink Floyd Celebrated Their Final Tour on ‘Pulse’
When Pink Floyd began their expansive world tour behind 1994's The Division Bell , David Gilmour and company had no intention of documenting the jaunt with a live LP. But a series of logistical moves resulted in their double-disc concert set Pulse , which was released on May 29, 1995.
The Division Bell set list was structured with a logical mix of old staples ("Shine On You Crazy Diamond") and recent, post- Roger Waters tracks ("Learning to Fly"). As usual, the band was playing almost the entire Dark Side of the Moon LP onstage, and Gilmour decided to restructure the set into two distinct halves, with the second part comprising the full Dark Side experience.
Without that move, Pulse wouldn't exist.
"The reason for Pulse is Dark Side of the Moon , obviously," Gilmour told Guitar magazine in 1995. "We weren't going to do a live album for this tour; it seemed a bit superfluous having just done one [1988's The Delicate Sound of Thunder ] a few years ago. But, as we started out on the tour, we were looking for ways to change the show around and make ourselves a little more flexible and have a little fun, and Dark Side of the Moon was one of the ideas that came across.
"We thought, 'That'll be easy, we're already playing half the songs,' Gilmour added. "But it took us about three months to put all the bits of sound-effect tape into it, besides getting all the old film and making one or two new bits of the ones that were too ancient or damaged.
Listen to 'Shine on You Crazy Diamond' From 'Pulse'
"So we did it on the end of our American tour, and then when we carried it over to Europe, we started thinking, 'Well, it would be nice for us – and for posterity – to have a live version of Dark Side of the Moon , which I always particularly wanted," Gilmour continued. "We, in fact, discussed it years ago – even when Roger was still in the band – about putting a live version of Dark Side of the Moon back together and recording it, because we don't have a record of it ourselves. So, I thought that would be a very nice idea. Of course, discussing it, we finally thought it was daft to just put out Dark Side of the Moon . We might as well put out the whole thing."
Ironically, even though the Dark Side material is Pulse 's main selling point, it's also the weaker of the two discs, with the band churning out professional if perfunctory takes on their 1973 masterpiece. The core trio – Gilmour, drummer Nick Mason and keyboardist Richard Wright – are supplemented by a militia of guest players, and the most interesting moments harness those extra colors, like the more percussive groove in "Time" (featuring percussion from Gary Wallis) and the sleek jazz-funk take on "Any Colour You Like" (propelled by session man Guy Pratt's nimble slap-bass).
Luckily, disc one is loaded with highlights. The set opens with a surging take on "Shine On You Crazy Diamond," anchored by Pratt's funky bass and Dick Parry's reliably stunning sax solo. Hands down, the album's centerpiece is a stratospheric take on the Syd Barrett epic "Astronomy Domine," with Gilmour and Wright sharing lead vocals.
The disc's soggiest stretches, perhaps inevitably, focus on Floyd's two most recent LPs, The Division Bell and 1987's A Momentary Lapse of Reason – both filled with expertly crafted but sometimes forgettable material. One exception is the sultry "Coming Back to Life," which features one of Gilmour's most expressive vocals. Unlike the other late-era Floyd material on Pulse , "Life" feels more alive onstage, the grittiness of Gilmour's vocal adding an emotional dimension lacking in its slick studio counterpart.
Pulse marks the end of an era for Pink Floyd, documenting the band's final full tour. They reunited with Waters in 2005 for a brief set at the Live 8 concert in London.) That sense of finality gives the album an importance its performances probably don't earn. No, Pulse isn't a revelation, but it still remains an essential piece of any fan's collection.

Pink Floyd to Bring Blinking Light Back on ‘Pulse’ Reissue
By Kory Grow
Pink Floyd will release a “restored and re-edited” edition of their Pulse concert film, which documented the band’s gargantuan Division Bell tour, next year. The film will be available on Blu-ray and DVD on Feb. 18.
The film documented the band’s Oct. 20, 1994 appearance at London’s Earl’s Court and features a full performance of The Dark Side of the Moon . The band’s core lineup for the concerts featured guitarist David Gilmour, keyboardist Richard Wright, and drummer Nick Mason.
The upgraded film previously featured in Pink Floyd’s The Later Years box set in 2019. For that release, Aubrey “Po” Powell of the design group Hipgnosis, which created the artwork for the group’s most iconic album sleeves , re-edited the original footage shot by director David Mallet. Powell, along with photographer Rupert Truman (StormStudios) also contributed photos to the reissue’s artwork, which Hipgnosis’ Storm Thorgerson had originally created with designer Peter Curzon. The packaging replicates the blinking red light of the original 1995 release, which can now pulse forever with two AA batteries.
“Essentially, it’s a device which we thought was entertaining,” Mason said of the light in a statement. “It’s an idea of Storm Thorgerson’s which related to The Dark Side of the Moon and the pulse, and it’s a live album so the box is ‘alive.’ After that, in terms of seriously deep meanings, one might be struggling a bit.”
The two-disc, deluxe releases – available to preorder now – also feature music videos, concert screen films, documentaries, tour rehearsal footage, and more. They also contain a 60-page booklet.
In addition to the Pulse reissue, the band also appears to have released a dozen live recordings that had never been officially circulated on streaming services. They were all recorded between 1970 and 1972.
Pulse: Restored & Re-Edited track list:
1. “Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts 1-5,7” 2. “Learning to Fly” 3. “High Hopes” 4. “Take It Back” 5. “Coming Back to Life” 6. “Sorrow” 7. “Keep Talking” 8. “Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2” 9. “One of These Days”

5 Ways Dancing Enthusiasts Harness Free Overseas Sports Broadcasting for Inspiration and Connection
![the pulse tour In city lights, a dancer blends Korean tradition with modern style in a hanbok-inspired outfit.](https://www.thepulseontour.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/In-city-lights-a-dancer-blends-Korean-tradition-with-modern-style-in-a-hanbok-inspired-outfit.jpg)
The limits between diverse types of entertainment are becoming more and more vague in today’s highly connected world. One interesting crossing point is between dancing and international sports broadcasting.
For dance lovers, the ability to watch sports broadcasts from all over the world for free does not only give them the opportunity to see competitions among athletes but also acts as a fountainhead of ideas and a way of establishing contacts.
Here are five ways in which dancing enthusiasts use free overseas sports broadcasting ( 무료해외스포츠중계 ) as both a source of inspiration and a means for connection.
Exploration of cross-cultural movement
Different countries have different styles of movement, and one can learn about them by watching sports broadcasts from various places. Each sport has its own vocabulary of moves that can inspire dancers to add new elements to their routines, be it through the graceful athleticism shown when Russian figure skaters perform, the rhythmic intensity displayed during South American soccer celebrations, or the precision required by martial arts demonstrations in Asia.
Discovery of music
Some overseas sporting events are accompanied by local soundtracks that reflect the cultural context within which they happen. This presents an opportunity for people who love dancing to come across new musical genres and artists from around the globe.
By tuning into different regions’ broadcasts, one can widen his/her musical repertoire as well as find fresh ideas for choreography.
Building communities
Through online forums and social media platforms, fans sharing similar interests in international matches can interact with each other easily, even if they live far apart geographically.
These communities allow individuals with diverse backgrounds, united by their love for dances inspired by sporting activities abroad, to express themselves freely while feeling part of something bigger than just themselves.

Inspiration for performance
Spectacular displays of teamwork and emotion often featured during games may touch deep chords within hearts; performers are included in this category.
Dancers may draw motivation from great victory dances winning athletes make or even momentous occasions where opponents exhibit exemplary sportsmanship against all odds before finally emerging victorious over each other.
Collaboration across the globe
Technological advancements, together with social media, have made it possible for artists and performers from different parts of the world to work together more easily than ever before.
Free international sports broadcasting acts as a universal cultural touchstone that transcends geographical boundaries, making it easier for dancers, athletes, choreographers, coaches, teams, and troupes to collaborate across borders.
Dancing and free international sports broadcasting are two worlds that, when brought together, offer enthusiasts a wide range of inspiration as well as opportunities for connecting with other people who share similar interests but hail from different countries.
This could involve anything from learning various styles of movement to discovering new music, while at the same time creating global communities among like-minded individuals.
Why Gardening is an Excellent Form of Exercise
![the pulse tour](https://www.thepulseontour.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/priscilla-du-preez-JCZ2pE-Szpw-unsplash-300x200.jpg)
It’s a cross-training regimen that makes your yard and you fitter—gardening. Not only can gardening and and assembling the best garden screens in the uk improve your psychological health, creativity, and sense of serenity, but it also provides quantifiable advantages in terms of exercise.
Boost Your Exercise Digging, turning over compost, and pruning will strengthen your arms , upper body, core, and legs. Give up on convenience tools if you’d like to work out more. For instance, rather than using a wheelbarrow, pick up bags of mulch and carry them from your car to your garden. Instead of using electric hedge trimmers, work up your biceps with manual ones. Moreover, using a push mower as opposed to a self-propelled or rider model.
Track Your Steps Measure the distance using a step counter from your garage or backdoor to the end of your property, around your garden, and back. This can help you estimate how many steps you’ll get in a day if you stroll through or assess your garden and landscaping on a daily basis. Walking slowly for even 15 minutes burns 36 calories, which may not seem like much, but they add up. An additional advantage? Take a regular stroll around your garden to identify possible pest issues early on and prevent them from becoming serious issues.
When stiff, stretch When you prune or plant, do your shoulders feel tight? For the relief of tense muscles, Dr. Leonard Perry, Extension Professor at the University of Vermont Extension Department of Plant and Soil Science, suggests shoulder shrugs (lift your shoulders, hold, then release). Tuck your head into your chest and extend your arms and legs to perform a sporadic sequence of cat stretches when working on the ground, particularly when on your hands and knees. Pulling and stretching while weeding strengthens your back and arm muscles. Remember that sitting or kneeling on the ground is preferable than leaning over from the waist while weeding beds for a lengthy amount of time as this can help avoid lower back problems later. When you’re on hard ground, use kneeling pads to protect your knees.

Instagram has become a global stage for artists of all kinds, and dancers are no exception. With its visual appeal and vast user base, Instagram offers dancers the perfect platform to showcase their talent, connect with a global audience, and gain the recognition they deserve.
In this article, we’ll explore the fusion of dancing and social media, particularly Instagram, and provide tips and insights on how dancers can use this platform effectively. We’ll also address an essential concern: how to access Instagram after changing your phone number (source: famoid.com/cant-log-in-instagram-after-changing-phone ).
The Power of Instagram for Dancers
Dancers, much like any other artists, often rely on traditional avenues such as dance studios, auditions, and competitions to get noticed. While these methods are still relevant, Instagram has emerged as a powerful tool to complement and amplify their reach. Here’s why:
- Visual Showcase: Instagram is an image-driven platform, making it perfect for sharing dance performances, choreography, and behind-the-scenes glimpses.
- Global Audience: With over a billion active users, Instagram provides access to a vast and diverse audience from all corners of the world.
- Direct Engagement: The platform allows direct interaction with your followers through likes, comments, and direct messages.
- Hashtags: Using relevant hashtags can expand your posts’ reach to a broader audience interested in dance.
- IGTV and Stories: Features like IGTV and Stories offer additional ways to present your dance content creatively.
Tips for Dancers on Instagram
Now that you understand why Instagram is a powerful tool for dancers let’s dive into some tips for making the most of it:
1. Create a Captivating Profile
Your Instagram profile is your online dance portfolio. Ensure your username is easy to remember, and your bio highlights your dance style and goals. Use a profile picture that represents you as a dancer.
2. Share High-Quality Content
Invest in good photography and videography equipment. High-quality visuals will make your dance videos and photos stand out in the crowded Instagram feed.
3. Consistency is Key
Regular posting keeps your audience engaged. Create a content calendar and stick to it, whether it’s daily, weekly, or any other schedule that suits your routine.
4. Foster Meaningful Connections with Your Audience
Foster meaningful connections with your followers by actively participating in conversations. Respond promptly to comments, and consider using Instagram Live or hosting Q&A sessions to connect with your audience in real time. Cultivate a devoted and supportive community around your captivating dance content.
5. Effective Hashtag Usage
Research and use popular dance-related hashtags to increase the discoverability of your posts. Remember to use a mix of both popular and niche hashtags.
6. Collaborate with Others
Collaborations with fellow dancers, choreographers, or dance studios can expand your reach and introduce you to new audiences.
7. Storytelling through Instagram Stories
Use Instagram Stories to share the story behind your dance journey, practice sessions, and daily life. People love to see the person behind the dancer.
8. Show Your Progress
Document your dance journey by sharing your progress, from practice sessions to final performances. It’s a great way to connect with your audience on a personal level.
Accessing Instagram After Changing Your Phone Number
Sometimes, life requires us to change our phone numbers, and while this transition may seem daunting, accessing Instagram with your new number is quite straightforward. Follow these steps:
- Log in with New Number: Open the Instagram app and tap “Log In.” Enter your new phone number, and Instagram will send a verification code to that number.
- Verification Code: Retrieve the code from your new number’s messages and enter it into the app.
- Access Your Account: Once the code is accepted, you’ll regain access to your Instagram account with your updated phone number.
Remember to update your contact information and two-factor authentication settings if necessary to secure your account.

From Dance Floors to Home Floors: The Importance of Regular Inspections for Your Studio and Living Space

As we dance through life, we often overlook the foundation that supports our every move—the floors beneath our feet. Whether it’s a lively dance studio or the comforting sanctuary of our homes, regular inspections of our floors are essential to ensure safety, longevity, and peace of mind (source: ensureinspections.com ). This article delves into the significance of regular floor inspections and why they should be a priority for every dance studio owner and homeowner.
The Importance of Well-Maintained Floors
When it comes to dance studios, the importance of a well-maintained floor cannot be emphasized enough. Dance floors endure constant foot traffic, energetic movements, and the occasional accidental spill. Over time, these factors can take a toll on the floor’s condition, compromising its integrity and posing risks to dancers’ safety. Regular inspections of dance studio floors help identify any signs of wear and tear, such as cracks, uneven surfaces, or slippery areas. Detecting these issues early on allows for timely repairs or renovations, minimizing the chances of accidents and injuries during rehearsals, classes, or performances.
Regular Floor Inspections
Similarly, for homeowners, our living spaces are where we find solace, create memories, and build our lives. Our floors bear the weight of our daily activities—footsteps, furniture, and playful pets. By conducting regular floor inspections, homeowners can catch potential problems before they escalate, ensuring a healthy and secure environment for their families. Inspections can reveal issues like warped floorboards, water damage, or loose tiles, which, if left unaddressed, can lead to more extensive and expensive repairs down the line. Proactive inspections also offer an opportunity to assess the floor’s condition, seek professional advice if needed, and plan for necessary maintenance or upgrades.
Safety is Paramount
Safety is paramount in both dance studios and homes. By prioritizing regular floor inspections, we take a proactive stance in preventing accidents and injuries. Dance studios can avoid slips, trips, and falls by promptly addressing any uneven surfaces, loose boards, or damaged subfloors. Similarly, homeowners can reduce the risk of accidents for themselves and their loved ones by maintaining well-inspected floors, free from hazards that could lead to painful mishaps.
Home Inspections: Beyond Safety Concerns
Moreover, regular inspections go beyond safety concerns—they contribute to the overall longevity of your floors. Identifying and addressing minor issues early on can prevent them from escalating into more significant problems that may require extensive repairs or even floor replacement. By investing time and effort in routine inspections, you can extend the lifespan of your floors, saving both money and unnecessary headaches in the long run.
Frequency of Home Inspections
So, how often should you inspect your dance studio or home floors? While the frequency may depend on various factors such as floor type, usage, and environmental conditions, it is generally recommended to conduct inspections at least once or twice a year. However, it is essential to remain vigilant and attentive throughout the year, looking out for any noticeable changes or warning signs that may warrant immediate inspection or repair.

Organizing a dance jaunt a contest can seem to be one big headache, but it doesn’t need to be. Follow the following pointers to urge you and your dancers to the competition without the strain.

How Dance Aspen Turned Loss Into New Opportunities
Spring 2021 brought back in-person stage performances after the COVID-19 pandemic forced countries from all over the world to impose lockdown and restrictions. In September 17, Dance Aspen had a successful performance at the Wheeler Opera House where every seats were sold out. This would not have happened if the dancers of the now closed Aspen Santa Fe Ballet did not feel empowered to do what they did, turning loss into new opportunities.’
The damage brought by the pandemic was too overwhelming for other companies that aren’t able to bounce back from the economic aftermath. This is what actually happened to Aspen Santa Fe Ballet when the company announced disbandment after 25 years. Former dancer Laurel Jenny Winton mentioned how it was devastating. The Aspen community in general were upset.
How a Community Inspired the Creation of a New Dance Company
Even as their ballet company was demobilized, Winton saw that the community’s desire for professional dancing was still there.
Winton along with former Aspen Santa Fe Ballet dancers, started to assemble in the studio during June. They discussed how they all wanted to go back and of their main goal of returning to live stage performances.
Through the help of the community, Winton and other dancers created their own company called Dance Aspen, which became official early in July. The dancers had to divide all the work to themselves including donor engagement, rehearsal direction, marketing, and outreach development.
With no funding and with the pandemic still surging, they started from scratch and their company was able to raise $50,000 through the summer.. Winton assumed the position of the company’s executive director, solving problems and learning new skills everyday with the guide of experts who were inspired by their community’s persistence.
Winton acknowledged they felt empowered to do well even if the circumstances were completely out of their control.
Can Dance Choreographers Seek Copyright Protection on Dance Moves?
Claiming copyright to an original dance move is an old issue but has recently been revived by Tik Tok contributors who were not recognized as originators. Actually, there’s a long list of men and women, usually people of color, whose dance steps in their choreography work were used without permission. This issue dates way back in the 1600s up to the early 20th century, the period when jazz steps became a popular style of dance movement.
Tik Tok Dance Originators Band Together to Protest Stolen Dance Steps
Tik Tok, the social media platforms where users upload video clips as medium for sharing new music discoveries, has become the new arena in the fight for recognition as originator of certain dance steps, Used as choreography in presenting an original music composition or a new music discovery, many black creators were disparaged by other popular Tik Tok users who did not give them credit as creators of the original dance step/s.
To signify their displeasure, several Black Tik Tok users banded together to launch a boycott movement. Since June 2021, the group refused to publish contents of their new dance steps to draw attention to their complaint.
Can Dance Creators Apply for a Copyright Patent on Original Dance Steps?
While Tik Tok is aware of the complaint put forward by dance creators whose dance steps have been pilfered by other users for their own advantage, Tik Tok can only bring down content that clearly violates copyright laws.
Nonetheless, Tik Tok’s advice as recourse, in addition to filing a Copyright Infringement Complaint is to directly confront the user for not giving them credit.
Dance Copyright Laws in the U.S.
Historically, the first U.S. Copyright Laws were established to protect only writers of literary works. It was only in 1976 that amendments were passed to update the copyright laws by including choreographic works.
The amendment established guidelines that must be considered before a copyright protection is granted for a dance choreography, naming 3 factors as important considerations: originality, idea in terms of expression as opposed to functionality and fixation. Fixation here, denotes that dance work can be sufficiently reproduced , communicated or perceived in a more or less permanent nature.
Apparently, many dance choreographers are not aware that they can apply for a copyright patent to protect their rights over an original dance step or movement.
An example of a dance choreographer who benefited from the copyright patents is founding artistic director of New York City Ballet, George Balanchine. Prior to his death in 1978, he was able to draw a will bequeathing the copyright licenses of the many ballet steps he created, to his next of kin. The patents entitled Balanchine’s heirs to the licensing income generated by the patents.

Peter is presently working closely with all the supporters of Misnomer, along with the profits from his earnings will likely probably soon be going to encourage their job, at a superb example of artwork supporting artwork. It is possible to see his paintings at the exhibition The Manifestation of all Milieu, in Agora Gallery February 4, 2011 — February 25, 2011, and around ARTmine.
Q : What gave you the idea to focus on producing paintings based on amateurs in functionality?
Peter : Contemporary dance includes a language that uniquely captures the world. I discovered I was interested in how the dancers revealed far more of this ability of their human body to communicate sense than the artist’s design can reveal at a classical pose. Additionally, modern dance, rather than classical ballet and state folk dancing, jumped from an official arrangement of motion to provide the entire body of the celebrity with complete liberty of expression. Since I understood the power of those new moves I’ve been completely secured into painting this, like me personally, a new universe of individual expression.
Q : Movement is definitely a significant part of your job. How can you catch it onto a canvas that’s by character unmoving?
Peter : Many choreographers operate at an exceptionally in-depth level. Each motion is carefully coordinated and designed that comes before a motion and the motion which follows afterward. What I attempt to catch in my paintings would be that the before and the following of a motion. I use video technology to catch and process exactly what the eye can’t see, I subsequently sketch eyeglasses and eventually synthesize a number of sketches from the last painting.
Q : Your work reveals a deep connection that exists between various types of artwork. Is this thought important for you?
Peter : Yes. Art nurtures and inspires artwork inside and between different art forms. I believe that the degree of the invention is best if a painter becomes motivated by state music, theatre, dancing compared to just about paintings.

Q : Which painting techniques and materials do you prefer, and why?
Peter : I am short in my mid-sixties and have just managed to paint full-time these previous couple of decades. So, like I am in a rush to catch-up on many years of painting, like some people who just learned how to paint with paint by numbers for adults , the normal selection for me personally was oil — it was quickly, supposed I could employ several layers of paint daily due to the short drying days, also introduced me watercolor and acrylic blended in 1 medium. But, I can’t keep away entirely from petroleum and also from time to time unite both at a painting.
Q : You have talked about shadow and light on your job. What job do these components perform?
Peter : Should you consider spectacle lighting in the theater a great deal of work has become accentuating the drama of light onto the actors, to provide another dimension of play to what’s in essence a little space that takes to bigger-than-life eyesight. Adding light and darkness is a method for me to use motion before and afterward, and also to underline the keynote play in the film.
Q : Can you typically represent a specific troupe of dancers, or can it be anybody you happen to have observed previously? Or are the pictures on your paintings created on your creativity?
Peter : I find I become “attached” to some choreographer in a time period. Some offer me a few paintings, while others provide me heaps. The previous eight months I’ve generated a series of paintings (40+) motivated by the work of New York choreographer Chris Elam. The graphics in my paintings have been actually based on artwork made by other musicians, and it’s my expectation that I give their artwork a brand fresh outlook.
Q : Can you believe dancing includes a more intimate relationship with visual artwork compared to several other art forms or is it merely one which speaks to you personally?
Peter : For me personally dancing does associate in a really direct manner with my own painting. When it is a private thing or an overall link I am not certain, but I have discovered that few artists have been captured with modern dance as absorbingly since I am, so it is probably personal.
Diversity’s BGT Dance Number Sent Thousands of Complaints to Ofcom
During “Britain’s Got Talent” Sept 05. episode, the performance of a British dance group called Diversity triggered over 24,000 viewer complaints in Ofcom. Apparently, many were not impressed, much less happy, with the dance group’s choice of theme, which was intended as a show of support for the Black Lives Matter (BLM) Movement.
The interpretative dance performance included a dance depiction of the murder of a regular black American guy named George Floyd, whose death at the hands of a local US police re-sparked the BLM Movement. .
Ofcom by the way stands for Office of Communications, which acts as the multimedia communications regulator in the United Kingdom. This UK government office received thousands of complaints coming from UK BGT viewers after the performance was aired; many of whom complained about letting a family-oriented show include political content.
What was Controversial about Diversity’s BGT Performance?
Diversity began its dance performance with a story about a kid from the future, asking for a retelling of the story of the fateful events of the year 2020, to wh8ch viewers mainly expected mostly references to the coronavirus pandemic. However, the performance went on with interpretative dance segments confronting the issue of racism against people of color in the UK, and all over the world.
The choice of sound for the performance revolved around the phrase George Floyd uttered repeatedly: “I can’t breathe,” when he was held down on the neck with the knee of one of the Minneapolis policemen.
Adding to the controversy was when Ashley Banjo, the leader of the dance group, wrote his sentiment as a caption to his Instagram post, saying that
“In the near future, people will look back and realize that everything changed in 2020.”
Still, after receiving numerous negative comments, Ashley also expressed gratitude for both the positive and negative comments he received in connection with Diversity’s BGT performance. According to Banjo, all of the hate that he has received underscored what needs to be changed as it is very important for him and the members of the dance group.
Jordan Banjo, Ashley’s younger brother and one of the main performers of the BLM-George Floyd dance sequence, tried very hard not to cry in an interview. Sadly,he said he did not expect the hateful comments they received at social media sites; saying that all they wanted was to convey a message of love and positivity.
In Focus : Mumbai’s Global Dance Competition Winners
Indian dance groups from the slums of Mumbai are dancing their way to fame and fortune, winning prestigious global dance competitions in 2019. After all, the world-famous dance contests and their promise of million-dollar grand prize, give Indian dancers opportunities to improve their life at the slums.
Last year, the hip-hop dance crew from Mumbai called “The Kings,” won the World of Dance 2019, a U.S. reality dance contest produced by NBC. The crew of young dancers finally fulfilled their dream, which they failed to achieve when they emerged only as second runner-up in the World Hip Hop Championship in 2015.
After bagging the $1 million grand prize of the 2019 World of Dance, “The King’s” choreographer Suresh Mukund announced that the 15 members of the hip-hop crew will no longer join dance competitions.
Only last February 2020, “V Unbeatable,” another famous dance group from Mumbai’s city slums, emerged as grand winners of America’s Got Talent Global (AGT) Champions Season 15 Edition. The Season 15 win was the acrobatic dance troupe’s second attempt to bag the promised $1 million prize at stake, after emerging only as fourth runner-up in AGT’s Season 14 Edition.
The “V Unbeatable” dance routine included amazing death-defying, ultra-high flying acrobatic acts, besting all other Season 15 AGT Champions performances. However, unlike “The Kings” whose members found fulfillment as they actually took home the promised $1 million prize money, members of the “V Unbeatable” dance troupe aren’t as satisfied. The AGT, despite its global popularity, does not actually award the $1 million prize immediately and in full.
https://youtu.be/tjye3E3XOzY
The Truth About AGT’s Prize Scheme
It turns out that the $1 million dollar promise is only the future value of a present day financial investment. An AGT Champion grand winner is given two options on how they can claim their reward, which is similar to how lottery prizes are awarded. If the AGT winner wants to claim a full $1 million value, they will receive it by way of $25,000 annuities up to a period of 40 years.
The other option is to claim the present day value of the $1 million reward, as an alternative to receiving piece-meal annual amounts. According to online entertainment magazine Movie Pilot, the present day value is pegged at $450,426. Still, regardless of the option taken, an AGT grand prize winner also receives a contract to perform at one of Las Vegas’ entertainment venues.
This denotes that if “V Unbeatable” opted for the $25,000 annuity, each of the 29 dancers who performed the death defying acrobatic acts in Season 15, will receive only about $800 per year, which if converted into rupee, amounts to about 58,700 Indian rupees. On a monthly basis, each dancer can expect to receive around 4,900 Indian rupees.
Although they stand to earn more by way of the Las Vegas contract they won, “V Unbeatable” won at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic halted all non-essential businesses. According to local Mumbai news reports, many of the “V Unbeatable” dancers are becoming restless, and still hoping to earn more so they can afford to live their lives out of Mumbai’s slums.
5 Ways Dance Can Ease the Stress of Needing a Towing Service in San Jose
![the pulse tour A poised woman strikes a dynamic dance pose beside her parked car, one leg gracefully extended behind her as she reaches upward with her arms.](https://www.thepulseontour.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/A-poised-woman-strikes-a-dynamic-dance-pose-beside-her-parked-car-one-leg-gracefully-extended-behind-her-as-she-reaches-upward-with-her-arms.jpg)
Being stranded on the side of the road in San Jose, waiting for a tow truck, is stressful. This is true, but there’s an interesting solution to reduce stress: dancing!
No matter how challenging it may seem, dance has always had a way of uplifting our spirits and making us forget about everything else.
Here are five ways dance can help relieve stress while needing a towing company San Jose .
Movement as Distraction
When you’re sitting around worrying about how long until they arrive or where exactly you are, your mind tends to spiral into negativity. But dancing can distract from all that.
Throw on some upbeat music and start moving with it. Concentrate on the song and let yourself have fun; next thing you know, tension will melt off as soon as attention is fully engaged in the present action.
![](http://doctruyen.online/777/templates/cheerup/res/banner1.gif)
Physical Release of Tension
Stress from a car breaking down often translates into bodily tightness. Dance provides excellent opportunities to let go of such constriction through physicality; this is achieved when muscles get involved during exercise, which eventually leads to better circulation and then triggers endorphin release within the body—a natural stress reliever for humans too! So shake away troubles with energetic steps!
Expressive Movement
Dancing enables self-expression using non-verbal language; movements express what words cannot say directly or adequately enough.
Instead of getting stuck on being annoyed by what happened earlier today while waiting here now forever more, even though you knew already where it would be needed after these few hours, just let it out through dance moves!
You can do ballet if you feel graceful or hip-hop moves if you feel powerful—whichever suits best for telling our own story at any given moment in time until we find relief after expressing ourselves thusly.
Connection with Others
Waiting alone makes one feel lonely sometimes, especially when there seems to be nothing happening around except cars passing by occasionally; however, dancing gives one a chance to connect with others even if only I am available right here right now.
If accompanied by friends or family members, then crank up the volume and start dancing together, sharing laughter while creating memories and strengthening bonds through movement.
Still, if alone, then just dance because someone else will either join you eventually or say something nice while walking past
Focus on the Present Moment
Dance has always been good at bringing people into the present moment, and this is one of its biggest advantages over other activities.
Instead of thinking about what could’ve caused the breakdown, why it happened so late in the day, or how much longer until the tow truck arrives, focus here now!
Listen closely to music, feel the body move rhythmically with breaths matching beats being produced by speakers nearby, and immerse oneself fully into the current instant via participation, thus leading towards calmness brought about by clarity gained from being fully focused within the present action itself.
Waiting for a towing service in San Jose can be stressful, but dance allows us to find joy and moments of connection amidst these challenges.
So next time you need a tow, don’t hesitate to turn up the tunes and dance away your worries!
Jacob Jonas and The Company : Live Drive-In Dance Performance in “PARKED”
Last May 17, 2020, Jacob Jonas The Company performed live at the parking lot of the Santa Monica Airport, via a drive-in theater-style show entitled “Parked.” Through invitations received, about 39 vehicles arrived at the 7:50 to watch the exclusive drive-in dance performances choreographed by famed creative dance director Jacob Jonas.
Prior to the show’s official commencement, the invited audience were given a set of 12-page instructions, to which the first was for them to stay inside their respective automobiles and keep their face mask on. They were also told to keep their car windows rolled up, and to turn on their headlights, once they see a flashing light.
PARKED Trailer | Jacob Jonas The Company from Jacob Jonas on Vimeo .
When and How Jacob Jonas Conceptualized “Parked”
Jonas started brainstorming the drive-in dance event in April, after friends from the medical profession told him that it would take about 12 t0 18 months before gatherings in a public setting would be allowed. In figuring out how he and fellow dancers can perform in a safe way, Jonas took inspiration from methods used by drive-in movie theaters, by setting up cars in a circle measuring about 100-foot in circumference. The headlights of the vehicles will then be turned on to illuminate the “main stage.”
The creative director’s previous experiences as a street performe r at the Santa Monica promenade and at the Venice Beach boardwalk, gave him the expertise in knowing how to entertain safely in a non-traditional concrete setting.

As an artistic director that has rendered work for several prestigious clients like The Getty Museum, Sony, Nike and James Perse, Jacob Jonas applied his creativity in directing a series of solo performances of individual dancers, presented as a drive-in style live dance event in an airport lot.
Flamenco Dancer Demonstrates How Music and Dance Can be a Grammy Award Winner
World-renowned and award-winning flamenco dancer Nino de los Reyes made history when Chick Corea’s “Antidote” won the 2020 Grammy Award for “Best Latin Jazz Album.” De los Reyes’ footwork contribution as a band member to Chick Corea’s “The Spanish Heart Band,” demonstrated how music and dance can be a compelling masterpiece.
In contributing as a dancer to an award-winning music album, Nino de los Reyes considers it an enormous honor to be the first ever dancer to be part of a Grammy award recognition. He voiced his thoughts about his participation in the “Antidote” album; that it made him proud to be a dancer who gets seen and heard when creating music with his body.
He added that In major events like the Grammy Music Awards, dancers are only secondary to the music.
”I also consider myself a musician, a percussionist from my soul,””It gives me enormous honor to be the first dancer to receive recognition for music” … “it gave me a gift that I will never forget; of demonstrating how music and dance are one.”
Nino’s Process of Creating Music Through Dance
According to Nino, flamenco dancers create sounds, even in silence. As a flamenco dancer, Nino said he gets close to musicians on stage and shares with them. Doing so allows him to absorb as much as he could, to blend with his own rhythm that is mostly percussive. That way, his body can express his internal music when he dances.
Even though Nino had performed and recorded several times before, with Paul Simon (2016 – “Stranger to Stranger” album) and in Chick Corea’s 75th birthday celebration at the Blue Note in NY and in Madison Square Garden , he said the Grammy experience was new because the environment was totally different. To help him own the experience , he kept Chick Corea’s advice in mind while performing:
“Take advantage of the environment you are in so you won’t become a prisoner of that environment.”
Who Says Drones Cannot Dance?
![the pulse tour](https://www.thepulseontour.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/aaaaa-300x198.png)
Dancing is probably one of the most popular hobby/skills around the world because it is not that hard to learn and there are plenty of dance genre to choose from.

I know most of you who are already in the middle part of article think that only people are capable of dancing and joining dance competition . But wait, did you know that technology is also motivated to join such contest.
In 2015, dance competitions for drones are becoming a trend simply because of the unique concept and being open to other ideas. There are performances that do not include drones only.

Dancing the Art of Silence as Epitomized by Contemporary Mime Master Marcel Marceau
The “art of silence” is fundamentally a dance performance known as mimodrama, which mime master Marcel Marceau had injected into the American theater. Marceau combined pantomiming, dancing, acting, acrobatics and clowning, in popularizing mime as a form of modern performance art.
Touted as the world’s most popular mime performer, he has been acclaimed by many for having revived mime artistry as a drama dance form.
Dance drama is unlike formal dance acts that narrate actions and emotions or depict characterizations by using simple actions such as blowing a kiss, curtsying and other pantomimic gestures. Mimodrma can be carried out as a full-length theatrical presentation, in which mime artists silently portray specific rolls in telling a story.
It is actually reminiscent of the early motion picture comedies made popular by silent movie actors like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. In fact, in Marceau’s biography, it is said that as a young Jewish boy, the desire and ambition to become a famous mime was formed in Marcel’s mind after watching a Charlie Chaplin movie.
Mime Artistry During the Life and Times of Marcel Marceau
Marcel Marceau’s talent as mime artist first came into good use at the age of 16, when he joined the French resistance. After Germany occupied France in 1944, and while Jewish families were being rounded up and sent to concentration camps, Marcel’s contribution in helping many of them escape to Switzerland was significant, as he was able to keep the children still and quiet with his mime act.
Marcel Marceau, in truth, was also born a Jew, named Marcel Mangel. However, during the “Holocaust”, it became necessary for him and his brother to adopt the French surname Marceau. His parents had been captured and sent to one of the concentration camps, where Marcel’s father subsequently died.
After Paris was liberated from German occupation, young Marcel gave his first major performance to 3000 troops of the allied forces. After World War II, he went on to formally study mime and dramatic art. He was also recruited to join the French army as a liaison officer, in light of his fluency in French, English and German languages.
While receiving many honors and recognition for his services and contributions to the liberation of France, Mssr. Marceau established a pantomime school in Paris. He went on to set up the Marceau Foundation, aimed at promoting mime art in the U.S.
Calling mime as the art of silence, he performed professionally by creating several characters for his mime artistry; The most famous of which is “Bip” the clown.
Marcel Marceau, performed in stages, movies and television for more than 60 years even when he was already 80 years old. Marcel Marceau though, passed away at the age of 84 in September 2007. .
Dance Movements : Scientifically Proven Dance Motions that Make Women Appear Sexier
A 2017 research at the University of Northumbria had looked into dance movements, and on how it is most often observed during human courtship and selection of partners. In order to help comprehend the type of dance movements that can convey the right signals to potential partners during courtship, the university researchers conducted a study to analyze dance movements that can make a dancing female look more appealing.
The researchers also looked into what those appealing dance movements signify; validating the notion that such dance maneuvers are genuine cues suggestive of a woman’s health, personality and potential ability to reproduce.
One of the researchers, Dr Kristofor McCarty, a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Psychology in Northumbria had previously investigated in his PhD research, about female perceptions on the dance movements of males. In carrying out the investigation, he also pioneered the use of a 3D motion capture as a means to accurately record male dance movements. Dr. McCarty then converted the motion data into virtual CGI characters and used them as dancing male avatars that women were asked to rate.
Together with Dr Nick Neave, Chair of the University of Northumbria’s Faculty Research Ethics Committee, and an Associate Professor of Psychology, Dr McCarty, likewise used 3D motion-capture to record the movements of 39 women dancing to a basic rhythm. They then presented them as computer-generated avatars that distinctly captured the dance maneuvers of the 39 females, whilst removing all details related to the women’s actual physical appearance. .
Fifty-seven (57) men and 143 women were then asked to carefully observe a 15-second video clip of each avatar and rate the dancing ability of every virtual dancing female. After which, the two authors compared the resulting ratings to multi-level models of quantitative measurements for gauging movement patterns.
Using the data-driven approach to identify motions that distinguish female dance quality, the two researchers were able to pinpoint, which dance movements can make a woman look sensually attractive.
Dance Movements that Can Boost a Woman’s Sexual Attractiveness
’Doctors Neave and MacCarty were able to establish three (3) types of dance movement that contributed independently in making women sexually attractive:
- Greater hip swing,
- Increased unsymmetric thigh movements
- Moderate levels of unsymmetric arm movements
They pointed to hip swing as a characteristic that identifies female movement, while the ability to move limbs independently of the other, may indicate well-developed motor control; limb independence though should not verge into uncontrolled pathological motion .
The Fundamentals of Tap Dancing
Exceptional dancers can up the ante of their dancing technique still, while making everything look effortless. It is shown by their graceful and water-like movement. It’s just fluid. If ever you’ve seen a seasoned dancer performing a tap dance, then you’ll be left in awe by the time they start tapping their feet.
At times, the tap effects they make from their shoes are creating its music.
This is one of the good reasons why a lot of people are inspired to be a good dancer and train their feet to create a unique combination of music and motion.
In that regards, the next steps can improve your tap dancing . It is not easy but with constant practice, you’ll reach your goals.
#1: Shuffle
This is among the first techniques of tap dancing you must learn. It serves as the foundation and can open new opportunities and expose you to greater dance styles and techniques. Basically, this is a combination of moves that are more basic than you thought which are:
Begin with Brush by standing on one leg while bending the other. Do this as you are lifting your foot off of the ground. Then do a brush as you swing the foot forward. The moment when it passes the standing foot, slightly point it so the ball brushes quickly against the floor. But remember, never allow your heel to touch the floor.
After a successful execution, follow it up with Strike. Simply speaking, it’s the same movement but done in reverse.
#2: Ball change
In tap dancing, there are multiple ways of shifting your body’s weight from one foot to another. However, ball change is the most common among others.
To pull this thing off, see to it that only your toe taps. First things first, stand with your feet but don’t let them touch each other. Lift your heels so by that, only the balls of your feet have contact in the floor. Then, put your right foot behind and use the ball as support. While doing so, free your left foot to leave the floor for a brief moment. After doing that, switch feet and replicate the process.
You can make phonecalls among different dance studios that can teach you the way on how to do this. Or if you are preoccupied with your schedule, you may instead do research and visit several websites which can take you to different styles of dancing as well.
Breaking : One Approval Away to Becoming an Official Game of the Paris 2024 Olympic
Breaking, the inimitable, athletic style of dancing popularized by African American street dancers in the 1970s, is just one step away from becoming an official Olympic game in the Paris 2024 meet.
After a request to add breaking was put forward by the organizers of the Paris 2024, members of the International Olympic Programme Committee endorsed the request last February, 2019.
IOC President Thomas Bach said they have given their endorsement to include the Paris request in their Olympic Agenda in the December 2020 IOC Session; seeing that
”the inclusion of the dance will contribute to making the programme more gender balanced, more urban, and at the same time, offering opportunity to connect with the younger generation.””The inclusion of breaking as an Olympic sport will enhance the overall dynamic concept of Paris 2024… inclusivity, inspiring a new audience and hosting socially responsible Games.”
The IOC Programme Committee though still has to undertake the customary vetting process in preparation for discussions in the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Session in December 2020.
Actually, breaking is only one of four games proposed by the Paris 2024 officials. The other three include skateboarding, surfing and sport climbing. Except for breaking, all three will debut in the 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo.
https://youtu.be/mq-DGPr3fRI
Tony Estanguet, president of the Paris 2024 committee said they are about to start searching for a venue, now that members of the Olympics Programme Committee have bestowed their approval. Mr.Estanguet remarked,
“It is important for us in our concept to put sports out of the stadium and in the heart of the city.”
About Breaking
Breaking was originated by early 1970s, African American youngsters of The Bronx in New York. As a street dance, proponents prefer to call it breaking or b-boying. It was only the mainstream media that gave the term break dancing; but in a somewhat derogatory manner in describing the nearly acrobatic style of dancing that was growing in popularity throughout the country.
Breaking activities later led to turn-based, b-boying battles between b-boys or breakers, whilst encircled by spectators; including judges who chose a winner based on skills, creativity and musicality.
It should also be clear that breaking does not include other hip-hop dance styles like locking, popping and electric boogaloo. Breaking consists mainly of four types of movements: toprock, downrock, freezes and proper moves, performed using funk, hip-hop, soul or breakbeat songs mainly with drum beats. Still, modern b-boying now allows other varieties of music and beat patterns.
Organizing a Dance Tour: Who Organizes Them and for What Purpose?
Most dance tours are organized as a form of enrichment program developed by a group of accomplished choreographers coming from both local and international dance institutions. Oft times, such group of choreographers seek support from local foundations, established for the benefit of non-profit organizations that provide quality and broadly developed artistic education for varying ages, in a structured and at the same time enriching environment .
Equipped with well-received and acclaimed dance presentations and local productions that showcase the dancing skills developed by aspiring student dancers, a not-for-profit dance institution may embark on a nationwide or global dance tour. Such tours can forge new connections, whilst advancing the training and performance opportunities of their mentored dance performers.
Organizing a Global Dance Tour
Organizing a global dance tour is an ambitious project that involves daunting tasks, which can be best accomplished with the help of professional dance tour companies. Such companies are themselves pioneered and manned by professional choreographers and dance artists, well connected in the world of performing arts.
They have the ability to collaborate with dance workshops throughout the U.S. and other parts of the globe such as the UK, and other European countries, as well as in Asia. They can help a dance school provide opportunities for broadening their students’ outlook on how they can use their dance talents in entertaining a broad variety of new audiences.
Fulfillment of such goals are coursed through participation in workshops, and/or by viewing world-class stage performances. That way, aspiring dance performers can form the right picture of what it takes to become a professional dancer in Broadway, or in other major dance performance venues throughout the globe.
Some dance companies can even undertake global dance tours that afford amateur dance groups, opportunities for showcasing their talent in a foreign stage; or in contributing their skills to stage performances of leading dance academies and best training schools in different parts of the world.
The services of dance tour companies include assistance in securing and submitting applications and registrations required by workshops, performance venues, as well as those related to travel accommodations and sightseeing packages.
Dance tour companies share a dance school’s goal of providing a dream global dance tour, by helping design a dance-oriented world travel tour that will broaden the knowledge and experience of their students.

I don’t know about you, but when I think of Spain, I don’t just think of the super sporty surfer boys (with their fancy surf fins or dérives de surf in French) who have incredible waves on the boards – no, I also think of the super beautiful chicas swinging their hips in the bar in the evening with good music.
I’m very fascinated by both and enthusiastic at the same time – how do they manage it so well?

Colombian Alberto “Beto” Perez is the founder of Zumba Fitness. He developed this great sports program for everyone. It now inspires millions of people. Beto started in his hometown as a fitness trainer, in the mid-90s.
As always, he went to his classes until one day he forgot about his usual aerobics music at home. “Oops,” he thought to himself, but that’s no problem. So he had to improvise and rummaged his salsa and merengue CDs and cassettes out of his pocket and ready for the seats – eyes closed and through.
He simply combined the fitness exercises together with a few salsa, merengue, reggaeton, and samba steps on the music and so the first Zumba class was born.
In 1999, Beto finally brought the trend to America. Gradually, he worked his way to the pop stars in the USA.
So now, eventually, we will make you even more interested in Zumba fitness. You can already rejoice. And until then, always swing your hips loosely!
How Can Towing Help Your Daily Life
![the pulse tour](https://www.thepulseontour.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/istockphoto-1392475839-612x612-1-300x200.jpg)
Your life can be made easier by commercial towing. If you own a business, delivery schedules and logistics surely give you anxiety. The efficient operation of your organization depends on having a company that can deal with these challenges. Consider using a towing Surrey if you require a service that can keep your company operating normally.
Light -duty
Light-duty commercial towing entails hauling around relatively light vehicles. This service is used to remove abandoned vehicles, fix broken-down autos, and clear roads following car accidents. The vehicles typically weigh between 7,000 and 11,000 pounds and are conventional in size. These trucks are adaptable enough to pull both small trailers and motorcycles.
They frequently transport coolant and fuel as well.
While the majority of towing businesses are able to handle light-duty towing, some are focused on heavy-duty towing. When towing a heavy-duty vehicle, a stronger vehicle is used to raise the entire vehicle. When you require commercial towing, you must ensure that your chosen towing service is capable of handling the specific type of towing that your vehicle needs.
Consensual Towing
It can be necessary to tow a broken-down vehicle. Police may tag a car in particular circumstances and give the owner at least 24 hours to move it. Law enforcement can seize a car much more quickly if it is determined to be a threat to the public or the environment. The car might still be towed against the owner’s will even if it is parked in front of their house.
You might need to take the towing firm to court if you find yourself being towed without the owner’s permission. This is forbidden. It is best to have duplicates of your car’s paperwork with you so that you are protected. You can demonstrate ownership of the vehicle in this manner.
Heavy-duty towing is crucial if you run a company that makes use of big trucks. A huge vehicle breaking down can have a major impact on your business. You may return to business as soon as feasible by having your truck fixed as soon as possible. But not every company offers heavy-duty towing services. In truth, the majority of heavy vehicle owners are unaware that such services are available. Heavy-duty tow trucks are a great option for towing commercial vehicles since they have a lot of pulling power and remarkable stability. Additionally, they can withstand bigger loads without getting harmed thanks to their higher rotational capacity.
Heavy-duty towing can be challenging. Large cars frequently need to be dragged hundreds of miles to get where they need to go. The recipient of the merchandise, the mechanics, and the truck driver will all need to work together with the towing firm. Finding a trustworthy business that can handle these difficulties and set up alternate transit for the truck’s cargo is essential.
Selecting a towing service
Selecting a commercial towing firm is a crucial decision that demands caution. The business you select ought to be equipped for any project and have the necessary expertise. Additionally, one of your key concerns should be the company’s track record. Find out if the business has completed projects similar to yours in the past.
Make a list of possible customers first. You can research developers, building firms, and auto repair facilities. You might also take into account direct towing clients, such as people who have broken down in their cars or need assistance. But if you deal with customers directly, you’ll have to do a lot of marketing.
How Dancing Became the Worldwide Trend Today
![the pulse tour Dancing on TikTok](https://www.thepulseontour.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/pexels-ron-lach-8368373.jpg)
People from all over the world dance choreographies from the Internet. What sounds like a gimmick is a paradoxical phenomenon. In a world that is becoming increasingly digital, it is considered desirable to be able to move as smoothly as possible.
The viewer has seen all these movements somewhere before. The Twist, for example, is where you turn your foot on the floor as if you wanted to squeeze out a cigarette. Or the Charleston, where the posture is a little reminiscent of someone who has pressure on the bladder.
We are located in an offshoot of the Lordz Dance Academy in Zurich-West. Here today three women and three men attend a dance lesson for the style shuffle dance. From a layman’s point of view, amateur dancers are advanced in what they do. How they move their legs to the beat of the song “Watermelon Sugar” by singer Harry Styles, how they kick, pirouette and keep their upper bodies still – that seems easy and cheerful. The women’s hair tied into a horse’s tail jumps to the beat, and sneakers squeak on the parquet.
“And now Running Man!” shouts the instructor, announcing the most important step of the shuffle. The feet move as when walking but are immediately pulled back again. This looks like someone who runs but can’t get off the ground. Shuffle is English and stands for shuffling. Michael Jackson’s moonwalk comes to mind.
A St. Gallen resident is the Shuffle Queen
Shuffle dancing is one of the best examples of a type of dance that has made it from the underground to the mainstream thanks to social media. It allegedly originated sometime in the 80s and 90s in the clubs of Melbourne, Australia, where young people celebrated electronic music in the form of house and acid house. Later, the style spilled over to England, the Netherlands, Asia, and the USA, but remained largely unknown outside the techno scene.
That changed about two years ago when particularly gifted shufflers began to draw attention to their skills with videos on social media platforms. Among them is the Swiss Arina Luisa from St. Gallen. The 22-year-old is now followed by more than 70,000 people on Instagram, and her workshops in Switzerland and Germany are fully booked. The Lordz Dance School has been offering the shuffle course in Zurich-West weekly for a year now, subject to safety regulations regarding Corona.
She learned almost all the steps thanks to the video platform Tiktok, says course participant Mery Stoller (29). The architectural illustrator from Zurich wears leggings printed with comic motifs, a black tank top, and white sneakers. “Social media encourages dancing,” she says. “They arouse interest in a particular style and offer interested parties the opportunity to teach themselves the first steps of this style.”
Surfing the lockdown thanks to dance videos
In addition to shuffle dancing, hip-hop, Latin and reggaeton dances are also booming on social media. “I watch a video of a dancer umpteen times and try to copy the movements,” says Stoller. Some users offer tutorials – video tutorials in which they explain a process step by step. It takes a lot of discipline to teach yourself dance steps at home, says Stoller. “But it got me through the lockdown.”
Of all the social media platforms, Tiktok is the most focused on this do-it-yourself attitude. Tiktok offers users not only the opportunity to watch videos but also to film themselves dancing to music, adding special effects to the result and making it accessible to everyone. Today, you can even buy TikTok likes to get more followers.
Since its launch in 2016, the Chinese company, which owns Tiktok, has extended the maximum allowed duration of videos from 15 to 30 seconds and most recently to three minutes. Dance videos will probably continue to be short in the future. Because that’s what makes them successful. The choreographies are so simple that anyone can acquire them. In the USA, the largest market for TikTok users outside of China, parents sometimes dance along to the videos posted by their children.
Many of the pop songs that users move to set records thanks to their presence on Tiktok. “Blinding Lights” by singer The Weeknd, for example, spent 19 weeks at number one on the Billboard radio charts last summer – longer than any song before it. Or “Rasputin” by Boney M. from 1987. 43 years after its first release, the disco hit made it back into the Swiss charts thanks to Tiktok last May. Both songs are the soundtrack for so-called dance challenges.

Ramming your hips into the ground to «WAP»
“Challenge” means challenge. The dance challenges are about rehearsing a short, predetermined choreography to a certain song, dancing it alone or in a group in front of the camera, and putting the result online. It must be because there is a kind of sense of community when thousands perform the same dance. In any case, people almost greedily accepted the “dance challenges” in times of social distancing.
For example, the Zug police danced to the song “Jerusalema” by Master KG in combat gear to a text sung in Zulu, a choreography inspired by African dances. Just like the staff of the Paraplegic Centre in Nottwil or the nuns of a convent in Fulda, Germany. A little less youth-free, but just as successful was the dance challenge to the song “WAP” by rappers Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, which at one point involves ramming his hips into the ground. Other songs with successful challenges include “Tap In” by Saweetie and “Say So” by Doja Cat.
You’ve never heard of all this? Then you are most likely too old. Tiktok is mainly popular among young people. Two-thirds of the estimated one billion active users are under thirty. There is a certain irony in the fact that dancing is in the foreground on the most popular platform for young people. Dancing is analog and at first, glance does not fit into our digital world at all. And what about the prejudice that “the young” only sit in front of the screen? If you want to dance, you have to move. And how!
Dancing until the sports doctor arrives
“If you dance shuffle at a party for one night, you know what you’ve done the next day,” says Melanie Rölli (28), who attends the shuffle course in Zurich West with Meryl Stoller. She works as a deputy community clerk, and in her spare time, she goes to electronic music festivals – unless there is a pandemic. EDM, House, Techno, and Hardstyle are her preferred styles. The elements she learns as choreography in the dance lesson can be improvised on the dancefloor. “The next day I’m ready for the pasta. Sometimes I don’t know how to stand it myself. It must be due to the euphoria that arises when dancing.”
It’s a completely different concept than that of the clubbers who intuitively fidget to the beat. “More like a sport,” says Rölli. The best thing, says Stoller, is when, after an increase or a quiet part of a techno piece, the beat starts again and she can make a special dance step exactly on the “drop”, as this moment is called. At a festival, she drinks one beer a night, and she says, otherwise, she stays sober. “That’s why I eat French fries every three hours.”
Shaquille O’Neal also dances along
The shuffle scene is one of the more extreme examples of how social media affects dancing in the real world. By no means is everyone who is inspired online to pursue his hobby at a top-class sports level. What significance do channels like Tiktok have on the popularity of dancing in general?
“They make dancing more accessible,” says Nicole Bloomgarden (21) in an interview with the British online magazine “South West Londoner”. Bloomgarden, a dancer from Washington D.C. with half a million TikTok followers, has launched the “Out West” dance challenge, which Tiktok users have danced around ten million times since last year. Among them are celebrities such as singer Usher, presenter Ellen DeGeneres and basketball star Shaquille O’Neal. “I’ve made the Out West Challenge extra easier so more people can participate,” says Bloomgarden.
Embarrassing standing around was yesterday
Meanwhile, there is a dance challenge for almost every popular song. This leads to the fact that in the clubs everyone dances the respective choreography together when the DJ plays one of these songs. The challenge, which Bloomgarden designed, is dancing to a rap song called “Out West”. “When I was out and the song was playing, the whole party was dancing to my choreography.”
She can still remember the final evening of her school’s ski camp, says Meryl Stoller from the dance course in Zurich-West. “Back then, nobody wanted to dance, everyone was embarrassed.” Today it would look very different. “Dancing is the coolest thing at the moment.”
Earaaf Dream Interpretation – Meaning Of Dancing In Dreams
Dance is the movement of the human body that is paced and performed in harmony with the rhythm of a music or sound. Usually, when we participate in this human activity, it is to celebrate or commemorate something or someone. So, most often, we dance when we are happy, joyful or jubilant. As such, dancing can be associated with positive vibrations which translates to positive feelings and aura.
![the pulse tour](https://www.thepulseontour.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/dance.jpg)
While dancing is quite common in the real world, rarely does it appear in people’s dreams. But, if it does show up in dreams, can dreaming of dance or anything else related to dancing be interpreted as something favorable or positive as well?
Earaaf – Interpreting Dreams Through Spiritual Sciences
Dreams are images created by the mind, transpiring at any stage of sleep but are usually most vivid during the REM stage. Knowing what dreams signify is a huge question that experts are still trying to find an answer to. But, experts say that the images in our dreams are things or people we have seen or feelings we have experienced at least once in our life.
It is human nature that we find sense to things, including visions and dreams, and frequently we choose to believe what is most meaningful and what has most relevance to our own personal lives. So, experts stress that giving interpretations to dreams is subjective since they are personal, thus can be something from our own life depicted in our dreams.
Earaaf, a site affiliated with Dr. Muhammad Salem Al-Hashemi specializing in metaphysics, spirituality, and fortune telling, is a fortune-telling center for dream interpretation and spiritual sciences.
![the pulse tour](https://www.thepulseontour.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/palm-reading.jpg)
Spiritualists believe that there are signs and symbols around us, including in our dreams, that hold cryptic messages that may reveal something about the past, present or future relevant to us or our personal lives, and this can be identified, read or interpreted through spiritual sciences.
Being a center for spiritual sciences, Earaaf aims to provide foreknowledge or give sense and meaning to signs, symbols, visions and dreams, through spiritual works and services, including dream interpretation, palmistry (palm reading), spiritual revelations, cup reading, and fortune telling. Every interpretation is based on and according to the person’s own dream or vision, taking into context the person’s personal life. This makes each person’s reading or dream interpretation by Earaaf special and “personalized.”

Dreams About Dancing – What They May Mean
As it is inherent in humans to find meaning and significance to things unknown and obscure , many have given and shared their general interpretation of what dreaming about dancing may mean. Again, it is important to understand that an interpretation of a dream is subjective. So, what does dreaming about dancing mean?
- Dancing with someone can be something intimate. Hence, dancing in dreams may symbolize a desire for romance and intimacy.
- Dancing is a form of art and an avenue to freely express one’s self through creative movement. Hence, in dreams, dancing may mean freedom and liberation, where you feel comfortable and confident in expressing your thoughts and feelings or are unfaltering in doing the things that bring you joy.
- Dancing involves flow and movement. Dreaming about dancing may mean that you desire some kind of movement in your life. Perhaps you feel stuck or that your life has become stagnant and boring, that you long for flow and movement in certain aspects of your life.
Why Dancers Need Meditation
![the pulse tour](https://www.thepulseontour.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/pexels-photo-175658-300x200.webp)
Meditation can assist dancers in relaxing and remaining focused during practice sessions. It can also motivate them to improve by cultivating their creativity and intuition.
Meditation does not have to be difficult or time-consuming to incorporate into the lives of dancers. Do you want to hone your dancing abilities? Meditate. Meditation has numerous physical and mental health benefits for dancers as well as learning and embracing numerology. It can tell you a lot about yourself based on your numbers.
Here are some of the benefits of dancing:
It keeps you calm
Many performers have credited meditation’s ability to allow one to remain present at the moment to help alleviate symptoms of stage fright in recent years. Meditation can also help dancers by relaxing the limbic system of the brain. Slowing down this part of the brain, also known as the sympathetic nervous system or reptilian brain, can help relieve the constant stress caused by hours of dance training, auditioning, and performing. If not addressed, stress can cause an excess release of adrenaline and cortisol, eventually slowing your metabolism and increasing your risk of disease and chronic fatigue.
It prevents injury
One significant advantage meditation has for dancers is improving self-awareness and body awareness. Dancers who meditate are more likely to detect areas of pain quickly. As a result, any further, potentially more severe injury is avoided.
It enhances your performance
Meditation, in addition to helping you become more aware of your body, allows you to practice and rehearse mentally in slow and fast motion. This meditative practice has been linked to improved stage performance.
It helps you recognize your strength
Finally, but perhaps most importantly, meditation impacts performers’ relationships with dance. When dancers go to rehearsals or classes, meditation provides a sense of balance. It gives a sense of stability, which allows performers to approach dance roles more objectively. It enables you to recognize your worth.
It’s simple to start your meditative journey toward bettering yourself and your dancing abilities. You are not required to enroll in costly workshops or classes. All you need is a willingness to sit still and the ability to breathe. You can begin by simply closing your eyes and counting your breaths as you breathe.
A few times a week in the morning, you should do some simple breathing exercises. This makes you more aware of how you behave in the studio. It also helps you feel better about yourself and your performance skills. Spend five minutes doing a meditative body scan. This is a way to use your mind and spirit to calm down.
Dedication is essential for reaping the benefits of meditation. Set a weekly schedule for how you will meditate to get into a routine. Setting a weekly meditation goal helps you form a habit. This will almost certainly benefit you and your dancing in the long run.

![the pulse tour](https://www.thepulseontour.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/hanson-lu-s0yGfJn36Xg-unsplash.jpg)
Dancing is a healthy way to exercise. It can be a great workout for your body, and it also has some mental benefits as well.
It’s been shown that people who take dance classes are more likely to have an increased level of self-esteem and confidence than those who don’t.
Dancing helps with balance, flexibility, and coordination. Dancing also helps you learn about your body in space, which can help you become more aware of how your posture affects the rest of your body.
In addition, dancing is a great way to get in touch with your creative side as well as express yourself through movement.

Ideally, participants should show up 10 to 15 minutes before training so that they can warm up beforehand. These are z. B. easy leg swing and light stretching. Beginners should ask their teacher which warm-up exercises are suitable.
Fresh breath with all
due to respect, Chewing gum is a declared no-go in the ballet hall. In ballet, the whole body dances, even the face (through facial expressions). This is hardly possible with chewing gum, and it is not without risk if you choke on it.
Delays should remain exceptional cases. Nevertheless, it can happen to everyone to show up a few minutes late for class, e.g. B. because the bus didn’t come. If the lesson started a few minutes ago, you should never “jump” at the pole and jump straight into it. It is a good idea to warm up for a minute or two. The other participants should not be disturbed.
Always on the move
You should never sit down during a ballet class for no reason. Even small breaks in which the muscles cool down significantly increase the risk of injury. Who wants to take a break, z. B. because he feels uncomfortable, should either stand or sit on the floor and there – z. B. by stretching – keep moving.
Keeping an eye
On the fellow dancers So that all participants can develop themselves during the exercises in the middle, it is important that each individual pays attention to the other: Personal development is good, but not at the expense of others;).
Always dance in the front row?
If an exercise, e.g. If, for example, the Adagio is repeated, the participants should change places so that everyone stands in front and has the chance to look at themselves in the mirror and recognize mistakes. The minimum is to offer the participants in the back rows an exchange, even if the offer is ultimately not accepted.
Attention, risk of collision!
Especially with fast exercises in the middle, especially with the Grand Allegro, i.e. the big jumps, it can happen that you lose the “common thread” at some point. No drama if you do the right thing. The basic rule is: keep moving and running away at the same pace as the exercise, so as not to hinder the others! It is also true that even after the exercise has been successfully completed, one always walks forward so that one does not disturb the group that immediately follows.
Silence is gold!
Conversation during exercise is the ultimate discipline of rudeness. There is enough time to exchange ideas in the break between the pole and the middle or in the changing room.
6 Ways to Be Well While Traveling As Dancers
With all my years of travel, I’ve learned some things over the years. I’ve also learned that as I purchase older, my body doesn’t pass through travel as quickly because it is accustomed.
![the pulse tour Dancer on the road](https://www.thepulseontour.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/pexels-rodnae-productions-8927264.jpg)
I’ve come up with survival techniques to stay limber and agile, even after being on a plane for 10 hours straight.
So, whether or not you’re not a dancer, or if you don’t even travel on the road all that frequent so you don’t get to require assistance from professional towing services like towing San Jose, but just want to feel good once you arrive, these little travel tips will facilitate your keep moving.
1) Rollers and other self-massage devices
This might sound dirty, but self-massage devices are the simplest thing for a weary traveler. No, not that sort of massager. I’m talking the sort that you simply roll out your cranky and sore muscles.
My favorite is that the TP Therapy GRID roller. It’s short, and hollow on the within. I can fill it up with small clothing items so it takes up little space in my luggage. Plus, if you happen to select up a bottle of your favorite libation while on the road, the GRID roller doubles as a protective carrying case… Not that I’ve ever done that before.
I really like this Gaiam spiky stick roller, but you’re best off packing it in your checked luggage unless you would like to urge flagged at airport security.
2) 4-Wheel Spinner Luggage
Nothing frustrates me over a bag that won’t rise on its own and worse if it’s difficult to maneuver through a crowded airport and train terminals. After a visit to Europe after I had to control two unwieldy, unbalanced suitcases filled with costumes and products available, I resolved to switch my bags with upright spinners as soon as I got into the US. I did, and I’ve never looked back.
A quality spinner is going to be nearly effortless to maneuver, and your body is going to be grateful for not having to pull your stuff along behind you. If you’re on a budget, because luggage isn’t cheap, take a look at your local Ross, Marshall’s, or TJMaxx.

3) Water water water
This one’s obvious, but flying can make us want human raisins. Muscles, fascia, and tendons need constant hydration to remain in tip-top shape, so don’t be like me and make the error of not drinking enough water while traveling.
Bring a refillable bottle (empty, so you don’t get busted at the TSA checkpoint, or you’ll end up chugging 16+ ounces of water very, very quickly), and don’t be afraid to ask restaurants within the terminals to fill it up for you. Some terminals have filtered water stations (San Francisco International marks them on airport maps as “Hydration Stations.” How very geographic region of them.)
If you wish for extra hydration, pack along some Emergen-C or other electrolyte formulas. Those that are available tablet form travel best, but individual packets of powders work well, too. Confirm your bottle is rugged enough to induce beat-up.
Snacks on a plane! Haha… ha… never mind. Anyhoo… Like many 21st-century Californians, I’ve got dietary restrictions. I can’t eat wheat because it triggers my chronic inflammation and that I avoid dairy, eggs, and meat.
Even if you’ll be able to eat anything without feeling like someone is stabbing you within the bowel, you would possibly have noticed that plane food is pricey and unsatisfying. If you’re lucky to be flying out of an airport with decent restaurants eat a large-ish meal within the terminal before you board… and be prepared for the remainder of your trip with ample snacks.
I have lots of feelings about shoes and travel. Dancers don’t have time for that. I also don’t have time or packing space for bringing many different shoes with me when traveling. Personally, I purchase grumpy if I’ve got to bring quite the shoes that I wane the plane and perhaps an additional pair of flip-flops for times I don’t must go far, like from a sleeping room to the breakfast buffet.
My requirements for shoes? Easy to require off and replace on (because of airport security), versatile for the aim of my trip, flat-soled, supportive, and cozy like slippers. A decent pair of shoes should last for over two years, minimum. I’m particular to the Merrell brand for my weird, narrow feet, except for the love of all that’s holy, don’t be one in every of those that wears flip-flops or 4-inch stiletto high heels. You don’t want to possess to run to a reference to shoes like that, and both will likely make your joints very grumpy.
You know that weirdo within the back of the plane, near the galley and therefore the lavatories, contorting themselves into some weird yoga poses as you are attempting to induce by? Don’t be afraid to be that person. Additionally, those seats fit about 1% of the population. The remainder of folks is too short or too tall.
So, get on my feet and move to the rear of the plane to urge your blood flowing. While you’re back there, you’ll be able to ask the flight attendants for more water… or for the wonder that’s juice, which we all know you simply drink when you’re on a plane.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29VWgLXd7EU

Let’s Dance

Starting a Dance School
![the pulse tour](https://www.thepulseontour.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/dancing-scaled.jpg)
Starting your own dance school is a big responsibility. Choices have to be made, plans set up, and so on. Realizing a wild dream is not easy, but certainly not impossible.
4 Tips for Starting your own Dance School
- Knowledge is Power
It may seem obvious, but starting a dance school is impossible without good preparation . The most important thing is to know what you are getting into and what you need. Many dance school owners have therefore first worked for a while in an existing school. Not only as a dance teacher, but also in other positions. In this way they gain experience and get to know the professional field better.
It is also important to have knowledge of how companies work. Therefore, find out carefully what financial knowledge you need about running a business. For example, it is useful to know that renting a space is usually one of the most expensive costs. Find out how much capital you will need to open the school and keep it open for the first few months.
Who is your school for? What dance lessons do you want to teach? There are already many dance schools in other countries, so it is important to know how your school distinguishes itself from the rest. You can do this by developing your own vision and mission or by choosing a specific target group or style.
- Get Started
Pick a name and start writing a business plan . Practical matters must also be arranged: register with the Chamber of Commerce and ensure that the legal, administrative, financial and insurance-technical matters are in order.
It is also useful to use your own network . For example, you can gain useful knowledge through your contacts and you can ask them for help with any problems. In addition, an extensive network comes in handy when recruiting students for your new school. Use social media in particular to raise brand awareness. You can also design an application with the assistance of ‘app development London’ for a better dance school.
You can find students in the most unexpected places. A good example of this is Denise Schindler. This American dancer taught in a daycare center. After a few years, the children were too old for this shelter, but they still wanted to continue taking dance lessons with Schindler. A dance school was born.
Make sure you know enough people who can help you. Of course you have to recruit dance teachers to teach at your school, but it is also useful to have someone who understands finance and law nearby. With enough knowledge and the right people you can go a long way.
Dance seems to be the ultimate frivolity. How did it become a human necessity?
3 questions to help you find the perfect dance partner.
Your ballroom dancing experience will be greatly affected by your dancing partner . It is like as if you are camping, the stuff you buy from www.yourcamperlife.com and use on your campsite will dictate whether you’ll have fun or not. So how you can be so sure that you are doing everything right?
Finding the Perfect Dance Partner!
When searching for your partner, it will be wise to focus on important qualities such as:
- Non-critical
- Good hygiene
- Communication
- Comparable skill set
Without these qualities, your partnership would fall apart quickly.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0kmPey0ayI
Where You can Find Your Match?
Assuming that you are good with the qualities and know what to look for. What’s next? Ask each other the following questions.
Question 1: Do you share the same goals?
There are people whose goal is to be the next champions in their chosen field while others simply want to follow the steps. Regardless of your goal, so long as you found someone who share the same interests as you do , that’ll be fine. So better be sure that you’ve spent time in finding out what they’re after in your dance partnership .
Question 2: What’s your preferred dance style?
Do you want someone who primarily dances American style Waltz and Cha-Cha only or are you after someone who can do rhythm dances? You get the picture.
What you want here is ensuring that you are with someone who likes to practice and learn at least 80% of similar dance style as you do. When you found someone like that, you will probably get along together.
Question 3: How frequent you will be practicing?
The frequency of your dance practice should be clarified – is it going to be once a month, twice a week or everyday? Once you settle this, have an agreement with your newly found dance partner the time and duration when you will be practicing. Be sure to discuss this in advance to prevent frustration .
Finding the right dance partner isn’t going to be that easy. You have to invest your time and energy in ensuring that you have found the right one; especially if dancing is your passion.

Nizhny Novgorod: A ‘Russian Detroit’ from 19th to 21st centuries (PHOTOS)
![the pulse tour Dmitrievskaya Tower through the centuries.](https://mf.b37mrtl.ru/rbthmedia/images/2021.09/original/613b487d15e9f95b601734ea.jpg)
Dmitrievskaya Tower through the centuries.
Founded in 1221, Nizhny Novgorod (260 miles east of Moscow) is still one of the most visited and populated Russian cities (it has more than 1.2 million inhabitants). Its ancient kremlin, cozy paved streets with centuries-old buildings (a regular city plan was adopted after Empress Cathrine the Great visited the city in 1767) and scenic views of the Volga River warm the hearts of locals and tourists. By the way, many people confuse it with Veliky Novgorod (established in 859) in the north-west of Russia. In Russian, the word ‘Novgorod’ literally means “new city” and, luckily, there are only two in the whole country: ‘Lower new city’ and ‘Great new city’. One of the oldest and largest automobile plants that produces GAZ cars is still located in Nizhny (Russians often omit ‘Novgorod’) - and that’s why the city is often known as the ‘Russian Detroit’. In Soviet times, it bore the name of main Soviet writer Maxim Gorky , who was born there.
And despite its steel and metal history, today, Nizhny Novgorod has the poetic epithet of the capital of sunsets. We compared some vintage and recent photos of the city.
![the pulse tour Dmitrievskaya Tower in 1913 and in 2021.](https://mf.b37mrtl.ru/rbthmedia/images/2021.09/original/613b48bf85600a74cd04ba74.jpg)
Dmitrievskaya Tower in 1913 and in 2021.
The stone citadel of Nizhny Novgorod was built in the 16th century around the Chasovaya (Sentry) Hill. Here is the most famous view of the fortress with the Dmitrievskaya Tower. Previously, a moat was dug in front of the tower, which was filled with water. At the end of the 18th century, the moat was filled and the tower sunk about 6 meters into the ground. The tower received its a-la Rus facade only at the end of the 19th century.
2. National Unity Square
![the pulse tour Skoba square, 1957 / Monument to Minin and Pozharsky nowadays.](https://mf.b37mrtl.ru/rbthmedia/images/2021.09/original/613b48bf85600a74cd04ba73.jpg)
Skoba square, 1957 / Monument to Minin and Pozharsky nowadays.
On Moscow’s Red Square, there is a monument to Minin and Pozharsky , who were the leaders of the people’s militia against the Polish intervention of 1611. Interestingly, exactly the same monument stands in Nizhny Novgorod! And all because the militia gathered there. City official Kuzma Minin called on all residents to fight and Prince Dmitry Pozharsky was chosen as the militia head. The date of Moscow’s liberation from the Poles (November 4) has been celebrated as National Unity Day in Russia since 2005. In the same year, Nizhny Novgorod’s Skoba Square, where the militia gathered, was renamed ‘National Unity Square’ and a monument to the two national heroes was erected there, as well.
3. Chkalov staircase
![the pulse tour View on Nizhny Novgorod kremlin, Dyatlov hills and Chkalov stairs, 1886 and now.](https://mf.b37mrtl.ru/rbthmedia/images/2021.09/original/613b48bf85600a74cd04ba72.jpg)
View on Nizhny Novgorod kremlin, Dyatlov hills and Chkalov stairs, 1886 and now.
With 560 steps, these are some of the longest stairs in Russia! The site where this staircase was built was called the ‘Volga Downhill’ and was very popular among locals, since it had one of the most picturesque views of the Volga. The stairs, named after a pilot named Valery Chkalov, connect the upper and lower embankments in the historical center of Nizhny Novgorod. Among the architects was Lev Rudnev , who worked in the Stalinist Empire style and designed the Moscow State University and the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw.
4. Kremlin funicular
![the pulse tour Kremlin funicular in operation... and in ruins.](https://mf.b37mrtl.ru/rbthmedia/images/2021.09/original/613b48be85600a74cd04ba71.jpg)
Kremlin funicular in operation... and in ruins.
Amazing: At the end of the 19th century, in the center of Nizhny Novgorod, two funiculars operated near the kremlin. They literally worked on water. Imagine a water tank in the car: filled at the upper station, empty at the lower station. When one car went down, the lower one went up under its gravity. They would move at the same time. The funiculars were abandoned in the 1920s, when a tram line was completed. Today, only ruins remain in place of the historical funiculars, although the city administration has already promised to recreate this type of transport. There still is one funicular operating in Nizhny Novgorod, which connects it with the city of Bor on the other side of the Volga River.
5. Bolshaya Pokrovskaya Street
![the pulse tour Bolshaya Pokrovskaya street in 1880s and 2021.](https://mf.b37mrtl.ru/rbthmedia/images/2021.09/original/613b48be85600a74cd04ba70.jpg)
Bolshaya Pokrovskaya street in 1880s and 2021.
The main street of Nizhny Novgorod has undergone many changes over the centuries. Before the revolution of 1917, it was the favorite area of nobles to settle. Along the street, you can still see old stone mansions, theaters, churches. One of the most beautiful buildings is the main state bank built in Neo-Russian style. It was opened for the 300th anniversary of the Romanov house in 1913. At the beginning of the 20th century, a tram line passed there - one of the first in Russia. But, since the 1980s, the street has become pedestrian only.
6. Rozhdestvenskaya Street
![the pulse tour Rozhdestvenskaya Street in 1890s and 2020.](https://mf.b37mrtl.ru/rbthmedia/images/2021.09/original/613b48be85600a74cd04ba6f.jpg)
Rozhdestvenskaya Street in 1890s and 2020.
A historical tram line has been preserved on the other oldest street, Rozhdestvenskaya. However, now it’s a tourist transport and it operates only in summer. The street has also preserved its appearance since pre-revolutionary times. There, you can see almost all the same buildings that were in Tsarist Russia, including the Stroganov and Golitsyn estates, the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Blinov Passage - the first shopping center outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg.
![the pulse tour Construction of the Burevestnik station, 1996 / Burevestnik station, 2009.](https://mf.b37mrtl.ru/rbthmedia/images/2021.09/original/613b48be85600a74cd04ba6e.jpg)
Construction of the Burevestnik station, 1996 / Burevestnik station, 2009.
Nizhny Novgorod is one of the seven Russian cities with its own underground transport. The metro here was opened in 1985: In Soviet times, only cities with the population over 1 million residents had a subway. It consists of only two lines and sees about 115,000 commuters a day, which makes it less popular than ground transports. In the near future, there are plans to build new stations on the other side of the Oka River.
8. Referees Tower
![the pulse tour Before and after restoration, 2021.](https://mf.b37mrtl.ru/rbthmedia/images/2021.09/original/613b48be85600a74cd04ba6d.jpg)
Before and after restoration, 2021.
The Referees Tower built in the Neo-constructivist style on the embankment of the Grebnoy Canal was built in 1988 for the 2nd All-Union Youth Rowing Games. Over time, it was severely destroyed and only recently restored, for the 800th anniversary of the city. Of course, with cafes and places to relax. It’s beautiful, isn’t it?
9. GAZ automobile plant
![the pulse tour The first car assembly plant, 1930 / Gorky Automobile Plant, 2021.](https://mf.b37mrtl.ru/rbthmedia/images/2021.09/original/613b48be85600a74cd04ba6c.jpg)
The first car assembly plant, 1930 / Gorky Automobile Plant, 2021.
The GAZ (Gorky Automobile Plant) plant in Nizhny Novgorod became one of the first in Russia. Early models of trucks and passenger cars were produced under a Ford license. In the 1920s-1930s, American specialists also helped to build the plant itself and the socialist city for workers In the post-war years, the ‘Volga’ and ‘Chaika’ cars were the most expensive among Soviet cars - a citizen’s dream!

High water in Nizhny Novgorod, 1890s/ The same district nowadays.
The Cathedral Church of Nizhny Novgorod is located in one of the most picturesque places of the city - on the arrow of the Volga and the Oka rivers. People used to call it ‘fair church’, since its parishioners were merchants who came to fairs from all over the country. It also was only open in the summertime. In the Soviet years, the iconostasis was dismantled for firewood to heat houses and then it was even planned to demolish it altogether and build a lighthouse and a monument to Lenin on the same site. Nevertheless, the cathedral was preserved (in the 1980s, it was restored by volunteers) and, in 2009, was reinstated as the city’s main church.

Not just No Life and Only One… 6 more rare songs Slipknot should play again
Slipknot are dishing out the deep cuts on their 25th anniversary tour. Here are six more long-unplayed fan-favourites we’d love to hear again.
![the pulse tour Slipknot in 2024](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/WgSdm7SiZorCMEKUnzGHv6-320-80.jpg)
Slipknot are dragging out the deep cuts! Nu metal’s nine-man wrecking crew started their 25th anniversary tour this week and are playing their ground-breaking debut in full. As a result, Only One and No Life got their first live airings since 2012 and 2000 respectively.
Though The Nine are going to be in Slipknot mode for the rest of the year now, the resurrected rarities have got us thinking about other neglected classics in their catalogue. Here are six more long-unplayed fan-favourites that need to be brought out of retirement at some point.

Iowa (Iowa, 2001)
We understand why this one hasn’t graced a setlist since 2016. Not only is Iowa a 15-minute odyssey; its darkly ambient, necromantic fantasies make it an outlier in Slipknot’s otherwise apoplectic canon. However, this bleak finale of the band’s UK number-one rager is a beloved experiment, and the idea of it never terrifying audiences again is a pretty shit one.

My Plague (Iowa, 2001)
My Plague has all the hallmarks of a live standout. It’s one of Iowa ’s most popular songs, thanks partly to its inclusion on the 2002 Resident Evil film soundtrack. Its verses are destructively heavy, whereas the chorus is a cathartic throat-shredder with those cries of “I know why you blame me!” So, how come it’s not been played in eight years? Heresy.
The Nameless (Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses, 2004)
Slipknot shed their nu metal skin in 2004, with The Nameless factoring in both white-knuckle thrash and tender, acoustic segues. A live version of the song was released to promote the 9.0 album in November 2005, but it hasn’t been played since then. The number of streams it has compared to most other Vol. 3 cuts suggests that that needs to change.

Pulse Of The Maggots (Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses, 2004)
Pulse Of The Maggots was written as an anthem for the Slipknot fan-base. The unity of such lines as “We are the new diabolic! We are the bitter bucolic!” – not to mention the popularity of the track and its exciting, constant groove – should make it an ideal concert regular. But, Pulse… hasn’t exploded from venue speakers since the summer of 2016.

All Hope Is Gone (All Hope Is Gone, 2008)
Famously, Slipknot have only played the title track of their fourth album live one time . This is in spite of it being All Hope Is Gone ’s lead single, as well as its standing as a technical thrash metal banger with an addictive hook. Tell us you can’t picture entire arenas screaming, “We’ll find a way… when all hope is gone!” You can’t.

The Negative One (.5: The Gray Chapter, 2014)
The Negative One was Slipknot’s comeback track. Their first new music after the death of Paul Gray and the dismissal of Joey Jordison , it was a statement of continued furiosity from one of the nastiest bands on Planet Earth. This importance, plus the song’s chart success, hasn’t been enough to put the song on a setlist since June 2019, however.

Tim Walz fails to inspire swing state voters after Kamala Harris makes him VP pick: ‘He makes Tim Kaine look exciting’
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has been thrust into the national spotlight after being named Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate.
But, he’s still got very little national name recognition, despite holding public office for nearly two decades.
The Post spoke to voters in several key swing states to get a pulse of what they think about the liberal former high school teacher and National Guardsman turned governor.
“I know he is the governor of Minnesota, but not much else,” said Kunal Lobo, a recent physics Ph.D graduate in Tucson, Ariz. “I briefly looked him up on Wikipedia but there wasn’t much. He seems pretty generic.”
But, Susan Groff, 69, a retired teacher in Phoenix, told The Post that Walz’s Midwest roots appeal to her.
“Walz is more of a small-town guy than a big-city guy, and that might be a factor in selecting him. He would connect better with people in the fly-over states,” she said, drawing a comparison to the Vice President who cut her political teeth in the far-left San Francisco machine.
But others in Arizona — a key swing state that President Biden won by just 0.3% in 2020 — who were more familiar with Walz weren’t as enamored with his aw-shucks backstory.
“He let Black Lives Matter riots destroy Minneapolis,” said Christian, 23, a nursing student in Phoenix recalling the violent street protests that broke out following the death of George Floyd in the summer of 2020, Walz’s second year in office as Minnesota governor.
“I remember seeing Target being looted and there was hardly any police action.”
In Ohio — the home of Trump VP pick Sen. JD Vance — voters around the state who had actually heard of Walz had some colorful commentary.
“I knew who Walz was, but he will help Trump win. Walz makes Tim Kaine look exciting,” said Reggie, 32, a policy worker in Columbus, referring to Hillary Clinton’s less-than-thrilling 2016 veep choice.
“This pick is a concession to Twitter lefties,” he added.
Gary, 29, a Trump supporter who works in Cleveland, said his one brush with Walz was a chance encounter at Minnesota’s Mall of America years ago.
“Hell no he ain’t helping Kamala win. She is cooked. Trump is back, my guy, and I can’t wait because my gas will be $1.80 again and we will all have more money in our pockets.”
North of the Buckeye State, Michigan voters were a bit more split in their opinions, but even the Trump-haters had never heard of Walz.
“I don’t know who the f–k Tim Walz is, but anything is better than Trump, so go off, Tim!” said Alicia, a 28-year-old veterinary student and Harris supporter in Lansing.
Sabrina, a single mom working at the checkout counter in a grocery store outside Ann Arbor, drew a complete blank when asked if she’s ever heard of the VP pick.
“No, who is that? Oh, no, I don’t think I have ever heard of him,” she said upon being reminded he’s the Minnesota governor.
A woman strolling the shops on Ann Arbor Street in affluent Dexter, Michigan, said the only thing she knew about him was that she was the governor of Minnesota and that he’s “going to be the new vice president.”
The Post’s tour of the Rust Belt states continued in Wisconsin, where residents of America’s Dairyland didn’t think much of the governor next door.
“I’m not familiar with his track record,” said David Kapanke, 65. “He’s been less noteworthy to me than most blue state governors and Midwestern red-state governors.”
Jim Braughler, 50, uncorked on Walz as Harris’ choice of running mate, saying he was “baffled” by her decision.
“He brings nothing but disastrous George Floyd riots, a state of only 10 electoral votes which has consistently voted for a Democratic candidate since Nixon, and more of the far-left views outside of the typical American beliefs,” he said, venting his frustration.
“She could have chosen wide, but not much worse.”
At a Vance rally in Philadelphia Wednesday, not a lot of people were well-versed about the freshly minted 2024 VP candidate
“We thought maybe she would go with Josh Shapiro, and we were looking to see the news. So we don’t have any background on that, but we’ll do our homework to see what’s going on.”
On the topic of Walz being the person who started the trend of labeling Trump supporters as “weird,” starting with Vance, Brian Shine, 46, who works at a golf club in Phoenixville, Penn., thinks the attack line falls flat.
“I don’t know what’s weird about a man like JD, who married a great woman and had three wonderful kids. He served his country in the Marine Corps. There’s nothing weird about that. Walz’ idea of normal is men having babies, importing 12 million illegals and letting cities burn to the ground. That’s not normal,” he said.
Clear across the country from in rural Mesquite, Nevada, a markedly more conservative part of the Silver State than Las Vegas and its suburbs, Patricia Holding said she feels the “weird” label is unnecessarily divisive.
“I don’t know if weird is the way I would describe Republicans,” she said. “I mean, both sides have good points and bad points. That’s why I’m undecided at this point. We gotta unite the country somehow.”
