Students enrolled in professor Matt Thornton's Capoeira Angola course are practicing physically demanding skills while learning about the cultural implications of an Afro-Brazilian form of dance and self-defense.
This year despite the wrong date on all of the tickets, Ring Dance seemed to go off with out a major hitch and with less damages than previous years.
Last weekend's annual Ring Dance was held at the Jefferson Hotel to honor the Westhampton Class of 2013. Ticket sales for this year's event were reportedly down from previous years. It is tradition for the junior women to wear white dresses and be escorted down the front staircase by their fathers and non-junior women who attend are expected to wear black.
I get it. Some Westhampton students view Ring Dance as a flawed tradition, and they are fully entitled to their views as members of our class. However, I strongly believe that Ms. Bevels' Jan. 26 article, "Ring Dance ticket sales decrease," took a very one-sided approach to the topic. The article mentioned several women expressing their various opinions about Ring Dance. Presumably this sample should have accurately reflected the opinions of junior women as a whole, yet I found myself overwhelmed with the amount of anti-Ring Dance sentiment included in the article. I would argue that this opinion is not indicative of the majority of the class of 2013. More than 65 percent of us still will be in attendance, yet every year The Collegian features virtually the same article with a few individuals vocally dissenting, and as a junior now myself, I'm tired of reading it. Where is the representation for the large population of students who are actually excited for Ring Dance?
The University Dancers has been preparing for its annual February concert, now just four weeks away, since the beginning of last semester. It has been working to perfect its 12-piece performance created by internationally known choreographers, two new dance faculty members and the dancers themselves.
On Feb. 4, members of the junior class of Westhampton College will file into the Jefferson Hotel in long, white dresses, their faces beaming. But there will be fewer faces in the crowd this year.
Cuba is infamous. Hearing its name conjures images of cigars, mobsters, dirty dancing and dictatorship. Rich with history and controversy, Cuba has become a forbidden land and the subject of government embargoes and restrictions.
Where have Friday classes gone? Students have noticed fewer classes on Fridays, and while some professors say their departments aren't changing, others say changes are being made to their schedules.
I have discovered a newfound weekend hobby: being sober in a room full of sloppily drunken people. Well, I suppose it could be a hobby or a sport depending on how involved you get in the process.
The University Dancers will perform their 26th annual dance concert entitled "Next," at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 25, at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday and at 2 p.m. on Sunday.
Representatives from the athletic department at the University of Richmond plan to move the student fan section of the Robins Stadium to the opposite end zone and change the game day atmosphere in the process.
OK, I know that I wrote about Ring Dance for last week's wonderful edition of The Collegian, but to be honest, Ring Dance and Ring Dance-associated activities took up my entire weekend, so I'm going to just write about it again since I haven't been able to explore any other hot topic social questions like, where do all those missing socks and hair ties end up?
We laugh at Snooki and her Jersey Shore posse as they dump three pounds of bronzer on their faces every time they go out. But are we laughing in disgust, or from experience? Honestly, I don't think these girls are much different from many today who would rather die than go pale. Even among those who are less extreme, bronzer is a key piece in most makeup bags and the tanning salon is at the top of most prom (and Ring Dance) to-do lists.
The Collegian asks students about their favorite part of Ring Dance.
Members of the Westhampton College Class of 2012 participated in the 2011 Ring Dance ceremony Feb. 5 at the Jefferson Hotel in downtown Richmond. The event had more security than in past years in response to vandalism that occurred at last year's dance.
Contracted police and the Jefferson Hotel's own security guards will strictly enforce regulations at this year's Ring Dance, Westhampton College Deans Juliette Landphair and Kerry Fankhauser said.
Some of the most irritating experiences that can occur in a classroom setting, in my experience, happen because of class participation policies.
I can feel the heat on my skin; a refreshing breeze is blowing all around me; the faint smell of coconut lingers as I soak up some rays.
