Meme in Performing Arts

I am working on my finding of Inquiry at the moment, and there are something I need to people to see to understand what Meme and Tacit knowledge in Dance, as tacit knowledge can be explained by explicit knowledge, that is my struggle but I can use meme as an example to explain and share with every one, what tacit knowledge and Meme in dance.

There are a famous ballet dancer call Carlos Acosta, who is from Cuba. He became very popular as he is very different; he is very good that there are no one to compare, and he was first world wide Black ballet dancer, opened traditional ballet world's door to more black dancers. Since his appearance, his Meme has spread out, especially in Cuba, and to Black young dancers.


After his appearance, suddenly male dancers standard have gone up world wide. And, every one wanted to dance like him.
  
This young male dancer is also from Cuba. He just does not try to dance like him, he emphasize his facial expression and physical habit. 

There are another clip to compare.

This young dancer is also from Cuba. You see how much Mr Acosta has influence on these young stars.


Meme takes over us when us human try to strive to be more or try to break through our limit.
