26. Because it's not done nearly enough. Dance films aren't really taken that seriously to tell the truth. Everyone likes to watch them, and the box office tells us that, along with DVD sales and shere popularity, but they're just not taken seriously. Even though they have a massive impact on the culture that surrounds us, for example, remember when leg warmers and torns jumpers were in style? Oh yeah, wasn't that from FLASHDANCE, or maybe even FAME??? And we know from last week's article that Fame also affected how many people started taking dance lessons up. Think about it!
25. To better understand where we, as a society, have come from and where we are going.
24. To understand the impact of dance on popular culture. Since dance on film is more accessible than theatre performances to society in general, dance films have a greater influence on our culture's perception of dance.

20. Because in order to move forward we first have to know where we started. We need to see what was and is popular in order to create a new successful film.
19. To understand the meaning behind the dance and to help us apply it within our society
18. It helps us to understand culture and movement within every day society.

14. We should analyze popular dance and dance films because it is important to draw connections between the social and cultural impacts that our society had on the dance community. Also, it allows us the possibility to make connections between different cultures. In our class everyone has some type of dance related experience, therefore we are able to draw on personal experiences and knowledge to analyze the effects that our society has on popular dance and dance films and assist in determining the path that dance will take in the future.
13. To further our understanding of the way the body and dance is portrayed in the media and society.
12. Dance films seem to be making a comeback right now, and I think it bears looking into the reasons that seem to have forced dance films to make a resurgence into today's popular culture. Also, since some of the films we are studying this term actually come from a different period than our modern society yet are still widely known and celebrated, I think it's important to understand what factors (emotional, psychological, social, etc.) draw audiences to see these films in the first place, and why they keep us coming back for more.
11. Dance films offer the chance to examine the practice of popular dance forms. Through the eyes of passionate characters in which one can identify, viewers become aware of the ultimate power dance may possess as an escape, a way of expression, and a way of healing or helping a community or social unit.This cinematic formula in my opinion is used to inspire the viewer to achieve ones goals creatively. Dance films provide us with a better understanding of the significance of dance world wide.
10. The reason is because i feel that dancing really helps to bring people together in a happy environment and the characters in these films are somewhat inspirational.
9. As with any aspect of popular culture, we should endeavor to analyze popular dance to deepen our understanding of the cultural and social influences shaping the way in which we live. By utilizing dance films as evidence of popular dance, we gain the ability to objectively inquire what it is that makes these works so integral to popular culture.
8. Because many peple enjoy watching dancers, but do not have the oppourtunity to go see professional companies perform, and many people also do not have the oppourtunity to study dance themselves. Some are brought down to the amateur's level for that reason, ad are not displayed to it's full extremeties.
7. They explore the ideas of various cultures, which can tell us about the power of dance, and about ourselves.

5. I think that we should do this because we can derive relationships between different cultures and different backgrounds and how it relates to us in our lives and within our communities with different ethnicities.
4. As a member of the dance community it is important that we give equal respect to all forms of our art form, not just the highly artistic aspect. We continually analyze live performances and new works, so why should films that feature dance works be any different?
3. We should analyze popular dance and dance films so that we can get a better understanding of why dance is so important to our society as well as different cultures and how it truly brings us all together.
2. I think that dance films are so popular today because dance is being promoted more in music videos and reality shows. It is sparking an attraction to all the viewers watching.
1. Dance is something that everyone can relate to and find enjoyable. Some people are inspired by dance films, and others take the ideas and try to replicate them in their own style. Every culture and personality can be expressed through dance and regardless of talent or experience, everyone has their own special dance.
