  1       A Very Inspiring Method of Dancing   Jake Guenoun   When I first joined the Methodology of Teaching Dance class, I really did not know what to expect. I was very nervous because I had never danced in front of people before and I never really learned how to express myself through dance, because I always believed that there were certain or specific ways that it needed to be done.

That experience depends completely on the social context both of the work’s creation and of its audience. We shouldn’t ask, “what is art?” but rather “when is art?” Dewey saw art not as something existing separately from everyday life, but as existing on a continuum with mundane pleasures. The Stanford Encyclopedia: Dewey then argues that we must begin with the aesthetic “in the raw” in order to understand the aesthetic “refined.” To do this we must turn to the events and scenes that interest the man-in-the-street such as the sounds and sights of rushing fire-engines, the grace of a baseball player, and the satisf...
