West Side Story-America

this is a video from the popular website youtube taken from west side story.Here we see the Latin American group talking about America and comparing it to their home country Puerto Rico. We see a clash between the males and females in the group. The dancing seems to take on the style of a latin /salsa type of movement. Both the ales and females in this piece use alot of stomping and clapping movements aswell as some almost balletic style high kicks mixed with some sharp foot movements.The dancers costumes allow us to get a feel of their surroundings and the style and fashoion of when the piece was set.
