Graham technique is a modern dance movement style and pedagogy created by American dancer and choreographer Martha Graham (1894–1991).
 Graham technique has been called the "cornerstone" of American modern dance, and has been taught worldwide.
 It is widely regarded as the first codified modern dance technique, and strongly influenced the later techniques of Merce Cunningham, Lester Horton, and Paul Taylor.
The Fulcrum grip is a four-mallet grip for vibraphone and marimba developed by vibraphonist and educator Ed Saindon.
 The aim of the grip is to utilize varying fulcrum positions and finger technique to achieve the control, speed, and power of a two-mallet grip while being able to utilize all four mallets.
2 Drink Minimum is the third solo album released by jazz fusion guitarist, Wayne Krantz.
 It is the first live album released by him, and includes a lot of improvisation and freer techniques than his first two albums.
 It also includes more use of effects pedals, and implies Wayne's future styles on later "Greenwich Mean" and "Your Basic Live".
 Songs like ""Shirts Off"" and ""Isabelle"" showcase Krantz's uncanny technique of pull-offs and tapping.
 Wayne's fiery improvisational skills are exhibited on the 2-minute closer to "2 Drink", ""Lynxpaw"".
 Though his freer technique is more prominent, Krantz's songwriting abilities still are noticeable.
 His album builds up to climaxes, as documented on the 9-minute thriller, ""Dream Called Love"".
 Wayne also begins to utilize his approach to hybrid picking more prominently on songs like ""AFKAP"", and ""Alliance/Secrets"".
 However, this technique is used more distinctly in his forthcoming albums.
California is rich in dance history.
 In classical ballet, California is home to the oldest professional ballet company in the United States.
 The San Francisco Ballet, founded as the San Francisco Opera Ballet in 1933, predates both American Ballet Theater and New York City ballet.
 Barbara Crockett founded the Sacramento Ballet in 1954 and hosted the first festival for the Pacific Western Region of Regional Dance America in 1966.
 In modern dance, Ruth St. Denis established her second school in the Hollywood area of Los Angeles in 1940 while Lester Horton created the Horton Dance Group in 1934, also in Los Angeles.
 Ann Halprin founded the San Francisco Dancers’ Workshop in 1950 and continues to live and work in the San Francisco Bay Area.
 The Bay Area in also home to Alonzo King's Lines Ballet and Oberlin Dance Collective.
Mamela Nyamza is a dancer, teacher, choreographer, and activist in South Africa.
 She is trained in a variety of styles of dance including ballet, modern dance, African dance, the Horton technique, Spanish dance, jazz, movement and mime, flying low technique, release technique, gumboot dance and Butoh.
 Nyamza is known for blending styles in a way that challenges traditional standards.
 Nyamza has performed nationally and internationally and has choreographed autobiographical, political, and social pieces both on her own and in collaboration with other artists.
 She draws inspiration from her daily life and her identity as a young, black woman.
 Nyamza's abstract dance style allows her to use dance as a way to share both her own personal stories as well as African stories with the world.
 Additionally, she has created various community outreach projects that have helped to spread the positive influence of dance to different communities within South Africa, including the University of Stellenbosch's Project Move 1524, a group that works to educate on issues relating to HIV/AIDS, domestic violence and drug abuse, through dance movement therapy.
Acro dance is a style of dance that combines classical dance technique with precision acrobatic elements.
 It is defined by its athletic character, its unique choreography, which seamlessly blends dance and acrobatics, and its use of acrobatics in a dance context.
 It is a popular dance style in amateur competitive dance as well as in professional dance theater and in contemporary circus productions such as those by Cirque du Soleil.
 This is in contrast to acrobatic, artistic and rhythmic gymnastics, which are sports that employ dance elements in a gymnastics context under the auspices of a governing gymnastics organization (such as FIG) and subject to a Code of Points.
 Acro dance is known by various other names including "acrobatic dance" and "gymnastic dance", though it is most commonly referred to simply as "acro" by dancers and dance professionals.
Judson Dance Theater was a collective of dancers, composers, and visual artists who performed at the Judson Memorial Church in Greenwich Village, Manhattan New York City between 1962 and 1964.
 It grew out of a composition class taught by Robert Dunn, a musician who had studied with John Cage.
 The artists involved were "avant garde" experimentalists who rejected the confines of Modern dance practice and theory, inventing as they did the precepts of Postmodern dance.
 Yvonne Rainer's 'No Manifesto' - (to which she rejects any confines to technique, thrill, spectacle, glamour, or assumed space) came out of this movement as a way to state what the Judson Dance Theater wanted; a way to convey the beauty of ordinary movement and the pureness of dance/performance art.
 It was a place for collaboration between artists in various fields such as, dancers, writers, filmmakers, composers, etc.
 Their goal in this collaboration was to observe dance in its purist form.
 This resulted in the elimination of many theatrical elements like plots and storylines, elaborate costumes and scenery, and even formal dance technique.
 The group constantly redefined itself by these collaborative efforts.
Tímea Papp (born in Kaposvár) is a Hungarian dancer and choreographer who can be recognized for her work in the Hungarian Film and Television Industry.

 From 2009 using videomapping technique has been a kind of "trademark" in her work.
 She is currently the artistic director and choreographer of the dance team called Freelusion.
Carousel feeding is a hunting technique used by the orca whale population in the waters off northern Norway.
 Orcas ("Orcinus orca") have adapted to life in a variety of environments and their hunting techniques are prey specific.
 Orcas that utilize the carousel feeding technique prey on wintering herring.
 This technique, like the majority of orca hunting techniques, involves cooperation.
 An individual or small group of orcas will herd the herring into a tight ball by releasing bursts of bubbles and/or flashing their white undersides.
 This tight ball differs in size, the diameter of the tight ball can range anywhere between two and seven meters They then push the herring close to the surface and stun them with tail slaps, allowing the orcas to catch and consume them.
 The carousel feeding duration can last from ten minutes to three hours.
 The orcas can catch and kill up to 15 herring with each successful slap.
 It is predicted that the orcas choose to use this hunting technique over others as a response to the behavior of the prey.
African dance refers mainly to the dance of Sub-Saharan Africa, and more appropriately African dances because of the many cultural differences in musical and movement styles.
 These dances must be viewed in close connection with Sub-Saharan African music traditions and Bantu cultivation of rhythm.
 African dance utilizes the concept of as well as total body articulation.
