Ιστορία της Bolero Dance

2010-01-14T14:59:00.000+02:00

Λατινική πολιτισμός θεωρείται από πολλούς ως η επιτομή του πάθους και
του ρομαντισμού. Η μεγάλη Rudolph Valentino ήταν γνωστή ως η Λατινική
εραστής, και έγινε διάσημη το Tango από την Αργεντινή, αν και ήταν
πραγματικά ιταλικά.

Ένα από τα πλέον αποπνικτικός και ερωτικές μορφές της μουσικής είναι το
Bolero. Η πιο αναγνωρίσιμη μουσική αυτού του είδους γράφτηκε από τον
Joseph-Maurice Ravel το 1928, αν και ο ίδιος ήταν μικρότερη από
εντυπωσιασμένος με το δικό του έργο και το ονόμασε ένα κομμάτι για
ορχήστρα δεν μουσική. Αυτή είναι η μουσική ακούγεται όταν Μπο Ντέρεκ
προσπαθεί να σαγηνεύσει Dudley Moore στην ταινία του 1979, 10.

Όπως υποβλητική μουσική απαιτεί ένα χορό όπως και ηδονικός στο
αισθησιασμό του. Bolero είναι ένα αμερικανικό στυλ χορού, αν και
προέρχεται από την Ισπανία και την Κούβα και τις εκδόσεις είναι εντελώς
διαφορετικές. Στη δεκαετία του 1930, όταν το Bolero έκανε τον τρόπο του
στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες, η μουσική δεν αποτελείται από περισσότερα από
παλλόμενη τύμπανο κτυπά.

Αρχικά από την Ισπανία, το Bolero ήταν χόρευαν στα 3 / 4 του χρόνου.
Συνδυάζοντας τα μουσικά είδη της contradanza και της Σεβίλλης, χορευτής
Sebastiano Carezo εφηύρε το Bolero το 1780. Είναι ένας από τους
παλαιότερους χορούς της Ισπανίας, και είναι ταχύτερη από την έκδοση που
εξελίχθηκε στην Κούβα. Η ισπανική εκδοχή ήταν μικρότερη, διαφορετικά
προσαρμογή του Fandango. Η Bolero ήταν ένα είδος του ισπανικού μπαλέτου,
ενώ στην Fandango, ένας άνδρας και γυναίκα χόρεψαν γύρω από κάθε άλλο σε
μια προσομοίωση ερωτοτροπία, ποτέ δεν αγγίζει.

Οι Κουβανοί αλλάξει το ρυθμό σε 2 / 4 του χρόνου, αλλά αργότερα αλλάξει
σε 4 / 4. Jos Pepe Snchez πιστώνεται με τη δημιουργία της Κούβας Bolero
το 1883. Σήμερα, οι καλλιτέχνες του χορού Bolero ως πολύ αργή Rumba, με
αργές, χαριτωμένες κινήσεις που κεντρίζουν το αίμα και διεγείρουν τις
αισθήσεις. Στην πραγματικότητα, η κουβανική Bolero misnamed ήταν αρχικά
η Rumba στη δεκαετία του 1930. Είναι ένας χορός που μόλις πάθος, όπως οι
χορευτές υπνωτισμένοι από τη μουσική σε ένα ζωντανό όνειρο και το κοινό
έχει παρασυρθεί μαζί τους. Δεδομένου ότι ο χορός είναι μια έκφραση της
μουσικής, μπορεί να πραγματοποιηθεί τόσο εύκολα από ένα χορεύτρια, ένα
ζευγάρι, ή ένα θίασο χορού. Ο ρυθμός είναι αργός μέτρια η μουσική είναι
διακόπτονται συχνά με κιθάρες και καστανιέτες.

Η κουβανική Bolero είχε μεγάλη επιρροή στην Λατινική Αμερική, και έχει
αναγνωριστεί ως μια από τις πρώτες σημαντικές εξαγωγές της κουβανικής
τέχνης. Ο χορός με τρία βήματα με τέσσερις νικάει, όπως και σε άλλους
χορούς της Κούβας. Το πρώτο βήμα είναι να δοθεί στη δεύτερη κτύπησε αντί
του πρώτου, και ο μετρητής είναι αργά, γρήγορα, γρήγορα, αργά, γρήγορα,
γρήγορα.

Σε διαγωνισμούς χορού, το Bolero είναι ένας από τους πέντε χορούς ρυθμό
στην αμερικανική κατηγορία αίθουσα χορού στυλ εκτός από το Rumba, Mambo,
East Coast Swing, και Cha Cha. Από όλους τους χορούς ρυθμό, το Bolero
είναι η πιο αργή, με μόνο περίπου 96 παλμούς ανά λεπτό (περίπου ένα beat
και το ήμισυ ανά δευτερόλεπτο).

Το σώμα αυξάνεται, μειώνεται, σαρώνει και απλώνεται με χάρη, σαν να
ζωγραφική ένα πορτρέτο με αποφασιστική κίνηση. Χρειάζονται πολλά χρόνια
για την ανάπτυξη μιας πραγματικής στυλ μπολερό, αλλά από το Λος Άντζελες
για την Times Square, αν έχετε πάθος στην ψυχή σας και θέλετε να
εντυπωσιάσετε ένα ακροατήριο, είναι λίγες οι χοροί, όπως το υποβλητικό
Bolero.

All About Ballroom Dance Competitions

2010-01-10T19:44:00.000+02:00

Dancesport Competitions Competitive ballroom dancers invest just as much
time as they do money in honing their artistic craft. Dancers can spend
endless hours practicing before ever stepping foot onto the dance floors
of some of the most prestigious competitions throughout the world.
Competitions are organized in such a way that each couple is given the
chance to showcase all of their hard work at the appropriate competitive
level.

Competitions in the United States divide couples into various categories
based on age and level of experience. They also organize couples in
individual events into rounds depending on the total number of entries.
These categorizations allow all couples the opportunity to be judged
more fairly and to be placed accordingly within their field.

Categorization based on age systematizes couples based on their year of
birth. It not only allows them to compete amongst other couples of the
same age group, but also of the same maturity level. Because dancing is
growing in interest and popularity amongst dancers of all ages, numerous
age groups have been formed throughout the years. The categories are as
follows: Juvenile I (ages 6-9), Juvenile II (ages 9-11), Junior I (ages
12-13), Junior II (13-14), Junior III (ages 14-15), Youth (ages 16-18),
Adult (ages 19-35), Senior I (ages 36+), Senior II (ages 46+) and Senior
III (ages 56+). Although couples are not permitted to compete in age
categories lower than their own, they are able to compete in one age
category higher to challenge themselves amongst older competitors.

Couples are further classified based on their current level of dancing.
In order to develop necessary technical skills, dancers must learn
various fundamental principals before learning more advanced figures.
Dancesport therefore follows a syllabus that not only provides a
guideline for the improvement of dancers, but is used as a way in which
to determine proficiency levels at competitions. The syllabus is
composed of four main levels.

The first level is Pre-Bronze, followed by Bronze, Silver and Gold.
Pre-Bronze is made up of the basic figures of every dance, whereas
higher levels introduce more advanced figures. Following the Gold level
are open categories, which consist of Pre-Championship, Championship and
Professional. The dances within these three groups are composed of
non-syllabus routines, allowing dancers to express themselves through a
variety of open figures.

Within a competition, there may be up to hundreds of couples competing
within one single division. Because the dancers need a certain amount of
time to showcase themselves to the judges, they need to go through a
series of rounds. Each round divides couples into a few heats, again
depending on the number of entries, so that they have enough time to be
observed by the judges. The selection process also benefits the dancers
as only a few couples dance at once, thus giving them just enough space
on the floor to perform their choreography. The judges then recall
couples they would like to see once again; those with the most recalls
proceed to the next round in the competition and thus make it one step
closer to the final. Following the Quarterfinal and Semifinal rounds is
the Final which only has room for six couples. Here the judges place the
couples from first through sixth place based on their opinion of their
performance. A scrutineer then calculates all of the adjudicators marks
and the couples are awarded with their placement.

It can be an anxious process for couples as they dance each round and
wait to see whether they were interesting enough to catch the judges
eye; with each of the five dances lasting approximately two minutes,
couples give their all so as to be recognized. At some prestigious
International competitions, in which hundreds of couples take to the
floor, making a few rounds alone can be a great achievement in itself.
Of course, those eventually reaching the finals are then the role
models, and demonstrate a level that other aspiring dancers try to match
themselves.

Therefore, with all of the effort and dedication that dancers invest in
their art, the organization of dancesport competitions is a very
important factor. The classification of couples based on age and level
of experience, as well as the organization within a particular division,
allows couples to be judged more fairly and to be placed accordingly
within their field.

The History Of The Waltz Dance

2010-01-09T20:34:00.001+02:00

The most romantic images are conjured up in ones mind whenever someone
mentions the Waltz. Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, and countless others
offered their renditions of this supremely elegant expression of dance.
Today, we refer to that eminent expression of romance as the slow Waltz.
Yet in the beginning, this sentimental dance of the heart was roundly
condemned as scandalous due to the closed position of the dancers, the
rapid pace and the incessant twirling. Women had heretofore been kept at
arms length \" literally!

The Viennese Waltz began in the early 1800s, and after an original round
of condemnation by other countries, gradually became accepted as royalty
and the upper crust of high society embraced it. It was the English that
in 1921 gave us the more genteel version known as the Slow Waltz.
Influenced in part by the Foxtrot, the Slow Waltz made its way to the
United States. With a new basic step, including various turns, under the
arm movements and hesitations, it was a graceful as it was romantic.
Although still a Waltz, there was very little left of the mad twirling
that once characterized the dance of its Viennese roots.

In 1921, the English held a Great Conference, which determined the
official rules for various dances. For the Slow Waltz, the closed pose
was to be used, with the right and left turns and basic steps
established. To distinguish it from the popular Foxtrot, passing changes
were forbidden in the Slow Waltz. These changes necessitated a wider
area of available dance space for turns, which is one reason why you
always see Fred and Ginger moving in unison around a wide, empty floor.

Although it seems a bit odd for a popular dance to be codified by a
board of dance bureaucrats, no one can argue with the beauty of the
results. In 1929, the form of the Slow Waltz was finalized. The original
Viennese Waltz was not even under consideration, as it had died out
everywhere in the world other than in Austria during World War I
(although it would rise again after the end of World War II).

At the time, the English were looked upon as leaders in the world of
dance. One of the great English authorities on the Slow Waltz (also
called the English Waltz) was Victor Silvester, who taught the Germans
how to dance.

By the 1930s, all matters pertaining to the Slow Waltz were properly
referred to the English masters of the dance for a final decision. The
Waltz, albeit in its slower, adapted form, had come a long way in
England and in the rest of the world from its original condemnation as a
vulgar display.

The Waltz that is referred to as one of the five standard International
Style ballroom dances is the Slow Waltz. It has been danced by emperors
and kings, presidents and royalty alike. Yet no one can forget the
ultimate grace and charm of a tail-coated Fred Astaire polishing the
floor with the epitome of beauty and grace, Ginger Rogers.

At Hip Hop Wholesale we PRIDE ourselves on our commitment to our clients and getting you the merchandise that will make you the MOST profit. If you are in the costume jewlery or watch industries you know the headaches of dealing with unreliable suppliers who promise you the world, but deliver nothing or the wrong thing. The appeal of both the genre and its fashion allows Hip-Hop artists to not only stand as trendsetters with their fashion choices, but also as innovators courtesy of their music. Hip-Hop and fashion correlate in more ways than many may believe.

The focus is no longer primarily aimed at being lyrical; artists are more concerned with how much appeal a beat has. The music has become futuristic with the use of the auto-tunes software made popular by Hip-Hop artist T-Pain, who has been credited for re-introducing its presence into music. Bright colors have also found its way into the genre with the embrace of the usually feminine color pink. Rappers are now known to dibble dabble in what is being described as geek wear which includes large black rimmed glasses. Though baggy jeans continued to reign supreme in the genre, the addition of close-fitting jeans and shirts have also been introduced. Gone are the excessive jewelry and need for name brand clothing; they were eventually replaced with simple diamond pieces and plain white T-shirts and jeans worn modestly. The 21st century has opened the doors to Hip-Hop in the southern part of the country allowing artists from that region to dominate the music charts. With the new millennium came a new state of mind for a lot of Hip-Hop artists and their fashion sense. The genre, however, began to see a rise in popularity with major record labels entering into bidding wars for new rappers searching for record deals.

The genre, however, began to see a negative change. Some would describe this time in Hip-Hop as a point when the culture began to see a negative change. Though there was still the presence of conscious Hip-Hop that aimed to remain the voice of the people, there was an onslaught of rap that focused more on boasting about prized possessions and songs that glorified violence. With the new sub-genre, the West coast also pioneered their own fashion statements which consisted of Dickies, Converses, and bandanas.

By this time, the genre had successfully expanded nationwide with the formal introduction of West coast rap known as Gangster Rap.

However it was reported that the upper class Cubans did not dance the Rumba aanyway as it was to wild and frantic. Eventually the law was forgotten about and some people started dancing it which helped people become more aware of the dance during the 1920s and by 1925 President Machado put the ban back into effect, his decree stated: "this class of music and the 'rumba' are contrary to the good custom and public order of Cuba". Cuba eventually banned the dance as being to wild to dance in public. Originally it is said that the real Rumba came to Cuba throught the African Slaves imported from Spain into that country over two hundred years ago. Originally, the word Rumba was a generic term used to describe a music style rather than a dance style.

Anyone who has fallen in love with salsa dancing will tell you it has changed their life. With the fast paced, high energy, hot Latin rhythms it is no wonder there are so many salsa addicts worldwide. Turn patterns, body movement, styling and the way one interprets the rhythm of the music is reflective of one's self and is always a unique experience. For anyone looking for an expressive, creative outlet, salsa will satisfy your need for self expression. Salsa dancing makes you more creative and fun Salsa dancing is an extremely personal, creative and inspiring passion. Every salsa lesson will have rotations so everyone who wants to rotate will get a chance to change partners every few minutes and get to know a variety of salsa students. Forget the uncomfortable internet dating scene, speed dating or singles events: try a salsa class.

Students that attend salsa lessons tend to get together in small groups and go salsa dancing so not only are you meeting the students from your class but also their network of friends, family and acquaintances. Salsa dancing is very romantic and sensual so it is a great venue to find a compatible romantic partner. In addition to wonderful and lasting friendships, salsa is an amazing and natural avenue for single people to meet other single people and potentially create a romance. You can laugh at your mistakes, enjoy the feel of the music and rhythm together and very soon communication is easy and free-flowing. Once you dance with someone a bond has already begun to form. It portrays the Torero and his cape , and is danced to the characteristic march music used for procession at the beginning of a conversation a common ground has been established so conversation is easier. In particular, the Paso Doble is based on the Bullfight. The Paso Doble was one of many Spanish folk dances associated with various facets of Spanish life.

This may be contrasted with its alternative description as the 'Spanish One Step', so called because only one step is taken to each beat of music. The weight is kept well forward, with forward steps taken toe-flat, and with minimal movement of the upper torso throughout. Thus the Cha Cha had its origins in the religious ritual dances of West Africa. It has also been suggested that the name Cha Cha is derived onomatopoeically from the sound of the seeds in the guiro being shaken. For example it is listed on the program of the Finishing Assembly in 1898 of Dancie Neill at Coupar Angus in Scotland. This dance has been popular in Europe from before the turn of the century. When Pierre returned to Britain, he started teaching these steps as a separate dance. When the English dance teacher Pierre Margolie visited Havanna in 1947 and decided that the Rumba was danced with extra beats. These highlights are usually matched in the choreography by dramatic poses, adding to the spectacular nature of the dance.

The weight is forward, but most forward steps have heel leads. In particular, the Paso Doble is danced with a high chest, the shoulders wide and down, and with the head kept back but inclined slightly forward and down,. This may be contrasted with its alternative description as the 'Spanish One Step', so called because only one step is taken to each beat of music. Again, as in the Samba, the weight is kept forward, with forward steps taken toe-flat, and with minimal movement of the upper torso throughout.

The steps are actually taken on beats 2, 3, and 4 of each measure and knee straightening, weight transfer, and turns are performed on the intervening half beats.

Ιστορίες Για τη Rumba

2009-09-13T12:28:00.001+03:00

Μην αφήστε τη σύλληψη μητέρων σας εσείς που κάνετε το ρούμπα! Αυτό είναι ένας χορός της ακατέργαστης σεξουαλικότητας και του επιθετικού ερωτισμού. Στην πραγματικότητα, πιστεύω ότι υπάρχουν διάφορα κράτη που σας απαιτούν για να παντρευτούν για να χορεψουν το ρούμπα από κοινού. Φυσικά, όπως με τους περισσότερους χορούς αυτής της φύσης, η έκδοση αιθουσών χορού τονίζει σημαντικά τα πράγματα κάτω από ένα κομμάτι. Το ρούμπα αναφέρεται πραγματικά σε δύο απολύτως διαφορετικές μορφές του χορού: Η αφρικανικός-επηρεασμένη κουβανική εκδοχή και η έκδοση αιθουσών χορού. Το τελευταίο είναι το είδος που θα δείτε στη πίστα χορού της τοπικής πόλης σας και στους ανταγωνισμούς αιθουσών χορού, όπου είναι το πιό αργό των λατινικών χορών ανταγωνισμού. Υπάρχουν παραλλαγές φυσικά, αλλά κατά γενική ομολογία, το ρούμπα είναι ένας αργός, αισθησιακός, flirty χορός που αφήνει λίγα (εάν τίποτα) στη φαντασία. Η κίνηση οργανισμών κοντά στο ένα άλλη, τρίβει η μια ενάντια στην άλλη, αγκαλιάζει η μια την άλλη, που παίρνει την αδέσμευτη απόλαυση στην εγγύτητα κάθε άλλοι οργανισμοί. Ο χορός στα 2.3, και 4 κτυπά, ο πρώτος κτυπά είναι διατηρημένος για άλλες κινήσεις όπως οι μετακινήσεις ισχίων και οι σπειροειδείς στροφές. Μια αμερικανική εκδοχή προσπάθησε να απλοποιήσει το ρούμπα σε ένα τυποποιημένο βήμα κιβωτίων, αλλά αυτό πήρε την ψυχή από το χορό. Εκτός από τους πολύ νέους σπουδαστές χορού, αυτή η μορφή βλέπει σπάνια σήμερα. Όπως άλλους χορούς βασισμένους στο τελετουργικό ερωτοτροπίας, το ζεύγος ενώνεται, τρόποι μερών, και επιστροφές για περισσότερους δεδομένου ότι οι συνεργάτες πειράζουν και ξυπνούν ο ένας τον άλλον ναζιάρικα. Ενώ άλλοι χοροί εστιάζουν στο αρσενικό ή τη σχέση μεταξύ των δύο, το ρούμπα είναι ένας χορός womans. Σχεδόν αμαζόνεια στη φύση, το θηλυκό σώμα σε όλη τη δόξα του και τις γοητείες είναι στην επίδειξη στις ρυθμικές, αποπνικτικές μετακινήσεις της, με το αρσενικό που χρησιμοποιείται σχεδόν ως σκηνικό. Το φύλο είναι ένα όπλο, και το θηλυκό το χειρίζεται χωρίς το έλεος. Έναντι ενός σοβαρού ρούμπα, η κουβανική κίνηση μοιάζει με ένα χρονών παιδί 4 που οδηγά ένα τρίκυκλο. Πράγματι, το αρχικό ρούμπα ήταν ένας αφρικανικός λαϊκός χορός που φρενιτιώδης ένας σεξουαλικός αντιμετωπίζει. Οι Αφρικανοί δεν είχαν ακούσει για την απελευθέρωση των γυναικών, εντούτοις, έτσι το αρσενικό ήταν επιθετικό και η γυναίκα ανθεκτική αλλά τελικά ενδοτική. Μια έκδοση του ρούμπα γνωστού ως γιος ήταν πολύ δημοφιλής με τη μεσαία τάξη στην Κούβα. Είναι πιό αργό και αλλά όχι λιγότερο από δραματικό. Το αμερικανικό ρούμπα είναι πολύ παρόμοιο με το γιο αν και σε μια τροποποιημένη μορφή. Το Lew Quinn και Joan Sawyer προσπάθησε φέρνω το χορό στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες το 1913. Άλλες ομάδες προσπάθησαν αλλά απέτυχαν για την επόμενη δεκαετία. Ο Xavier Cugat, εντούτοις (το φημισμένο Coogie αγαπημένο από Charo) επευφημήθηκε για τη λατινική ορχήστρα του. Ανοίγοντας στο άλσος καρύδων στο Λος Άντζελες, ήταν μια μεγάλη επιτυχία και εμφανίστηκε σε διάφορους κινηματογράφους. Με τις εμφανίσεις σε τέτοιες προσδίδουσες γόητρο θέσεις όπως το ξενοδοχείο Waldorf Astoria στη Νέα Υόρκη, ήταν η φρυγανιά της Times Square μέχρι το τέλος της δεκαετίας του '20. Το ρούμπα κινηματογράφων του 1935 χαρακτήρισε το σύνολο George ως muy suave κύριο που επιζητά τη Carol Lombard μέσω της τέχνης του χορού. Το 1955, Monsieur Pierre του Λονδίνου (ναι, Λονδίνο) και Doris Lavelle καθιέρωσε την επίσημα αναγνωρισμένη έκδοση του ρούμπα το 1955. Χάρι στην έκδοση που υιοθετείται από αυτό το ζεύγος, μπορείτε τώρα να χορεψετε το ρούμπα με λίγο φόβο συλλήφθείτ " τουλάχιστον στα περισσότερα κράτη.

The Rumba: A Dance History

2009-09-13T12:24:00.001+03:00

Dont let your mother catch you doing the Rumba! This is a dance of raw sexuality and aggressive eroticism. In fact, I believe there are several states that require you to be married to dance the Rumba together. Of course, as with most dances of this nature, the ballroom version significantly tones things down a bit.

Rumba actually refers to two completely different styles of dancing: The African-influenced Cuban version and the Ballroom version. The latter is the kind you will see on the dance floor of your local city and in ballroom competitions, where it is the slowest of the Latin competition dances. There are variations of course, but generally speaking, the Rumba is a slow, sensual, flirty dance that leaves little (if anything) to the imagination. Bodies move close to one another, rub against each other, embrace each other, taking unfettered delight in the proximity of each others bodies.

Dancing on the 2,3, and 4 beats, the first beat is reserved for other moves such as hip movements and spiral turns. One American version attempted to simplify the Rumba to a standard box step, but this took the soul out of the dance. Except for very new dance students, this form is rarely seen today.

Like other dances based on the courtship ritual, the couple comes together, parts ways, and returns for more as partners tease and arouse each other flirtatiously. While other dances focus on the male or the relationship between the two, the Rumba is a womans dance. Almost Amazonian in nature, the female body in all its glory and charms are on display in her rhythmic, sultry movements, with the male used almost as a backdrop. Sex is a weapon, and the female wields it with no mercy. Compared to a serious Rumba, the Cuban Motion looks like a 4-year-old kid riding a tricycle.

Indeed, the original Rumba was an African folk dance that pantomimed a frenzied sexual encounter. The Africans had not heard of Womens Liberation, however, so the male was aggressive and the woman resistant but ultimately submissive. One version of the Rumba known as the Son was very popular with the middle class in Cuba. It is slower and but no less dramatic. The American Rumba is very similar to the Son albeit in a modified form.

Lew Quinn and Joan Sawyer tried to bring the dance to the United States in 1913. Other groups tried but failed for the next decade. Xavier Cugat, however (the famed Coogie beloved by Charo) was acclaimed for his Latin orchestra. Opening at the Coconut Grove in Los Angeles, he was a big hit and appeared in several movies. With appearances at such prestigious locations as the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York, he was the toast of Times Square by the end of the 1920s. The 1935 movie Rumba featured George Raft as a muy suave gentleman who woos Carol Lombard through the art of the dance. In 1955, Monsieur Pierre of London (yes, London) and Doris Lavelle established the officially recognized version of the Rumba in 1955. Thanks to the version employed by this couple, you can now dance the Rumba with little fear of being arrested " at least in most states.

History Of The Foxtrot Dance

2009-09-05T09:49:00.002+03:00

In the world of ballroom dancing, there is no dance more classically American than the Foxtrot. While ballroom dancing in general originated in Europe, the Foxtrot began as part a unique vaudeville act. Although it is generally considered "the most popular social dance," in fact, it wasnt originally a partner dance at all! We owe the Foxtrot to its creator, an American entertainer named Harry Fox. Harry (whose real name was Arthur Carringford) didnt exactly have an ideal childhood. He was out on his own by the age of 15. He began his entertainment career in a short run with the circus and was briefly a professional baseball player. He got into vaudeville when a music publisher liked the way he sang and he performed in theatre in San Francisco.

After the big earthquake in San Fran, however (and the fire of 1906), Harry decided to head for firmer ground on the opposite coast. Ending up in New York, Harry Fox made quite a name for himself performing in various vaudeville shows. In April, he started working with the Dolly Sisters, a gorgeous pair of blonde Hungarian twin dancers. There was even a movie about them starring Betty Grable and June Haver. Such an act had to get noticed, and it did.

In the summer on 1914, one of the largest live theatres in the world, the New York Theatre, was converted into a movie house. Perhaps to hedge his bets on whether the newfangled movie industry would actually turn a profit, the owner decided to add popular live entertainment into the mix. The roof was turned into a dance floor and vaudeville acts performed in the theatre between movie showings. Harry Fox and his American Beauties were hired as a dancing act. The booking made headline news, with Variety Magazine announcing, Harry Fox will appear for a month or longer at a large salary with billing that will occupy the front of the theatre in electrics. Opening night brought this review from Variety, The debut of Harry Fox as a lone star and act amidst the films of the daily change at the New York Theatre started off with every mark of success. The Dolly Sisters are dancing nightly on the New York Roof. "

While the beauties were dancing on the roof, Harry was knocking them dead in the theatre with a little dance of his own, trotting around the floor to ragtime music. The audience called this Fox's Trot and soon, everyone was doing the Foxtrot. Competitions sprang up and professional dancers copied the style. When American dancer G.K. Anderson travelled to London and partnered with Josephine Bradley in dance competitions, they not only won the trophies but the hearts of all England as well. The Foxtrot took Times Square by storm.

Its not hard to understand why the Foxtrot caught on. As one of the most versatile dances, you can dance to almost any kind of music, from slow ballads to quick ragtime. You can dance the Travelling Foxtrot around the floor or remain on the spot, allowing dancers to use as much " or as little " floor space as is available. It fits in as well with Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett songs as it does with country music or even a tango. The Country Two-step is in fact a variation on the Foxtrot. So the next time you feel like dancing, hats off to Harry!

How Dancing Changes People's Lives

2009-09-04T16:48:00.002+03:00

In the 30 years that I have been in the ballroom dance business I have never seen another occupation that I can think of that does so much for a human being. It can transform lives, mentally spiritually physically and emotionally.

Mentally - Dancing is a challenge and a goal that can be reached. It gets into your psyche, and drives you to be the best you can be. It helps you forget about all the problems you are having during the day as you are lost in the moment.

Physically - You don't realize that you are exercising, it is a sensual workout. You have great music, a great partner, it releases stress. You are so into the music that you think about nothing else when you are on the dance floor. You don't feel the physical strain only the pleasure. When you take dance position, your body begins to align itself into correct posture. Dancing is a great aerobic workout for both the young and old as it can be tailored to your physical abilities.

Emotional - Dancing releases endorphins and endorphins are the body's wonder drug. After dancing you feel like you had a good workout without having to lift heavy machinery. If you want to change the mood you are in charge, just change the music. It erases the day to day worries.

Spiritual - Dancing is good for the soul. It gives you a sense of spiritual freedom. It is a universal language; it gives a sense of self in moments. Especially with partner dancing, it is a way for you to really connect with another human being.

When you see people are a dance floor they are smiling, the enthusiasm is contagious. It has intoxicating intrigue. It's never too late to learn to ballroom dance.

So give ballroom or even any other type of dancing a try and see how it improves your well being on so many different levels.

History Of The Argentine Tango

2009-09-01T23:59:00.002+03:00

Born in the steamy tropics of South America, no dance conveys more elegant passion than the Argentine Tango. Much more sensual than the American version, the Argentine Tango is a celebration of life infused with rampant sexuality that received condemnation in Buenos Aires. Labeled Dirty Dancing in the United States, the Argentine Tango was considered simply unacceptable in polite society. The version introduced in New York in 1921 by none other than the great Latin Lover of the silver screen, Rudolph Valentino, was far more tame than the version practiced South of the Border. Buenos Aires has often been called The Paris of South America because of its cosmopolitan nature. This is the land of Evita and the Peron legacy, after all. 100 years ago, the streets of Buenos Aires were filled with people who emigrated from Europe and their descendants, many of whom were homesick for their native countries. As the Europeans mixed with the native Indian populations, an influx of immigrants from Cuba and rhythmic music from Africa began to have an effect on the population that favored the polka and the waltz.

It is said that the Argentine Tango began when the gauchos (cowboys) would come to town seeking female companionship. Since their leather chaps were stiff from weeks on horseback and they walked with bent knees, the male stance was born. The women held themselves at a distance, keeping their heads back from the odor of a man who had long been out on the trail. Despite the imagery of this urban legend, it hardly seems likely that dancing with smelly male strangers could possibly give rise to such a dance of passion where bodies intertwine so freely. In fact, it is also said that the gauchos never danced the Tango.

The romantic gaucho imagery actually came from the 1926 movie, The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, starring Rudolph Valentino. Rudy played an Argentine cowboy with a whip in one hand and a carnation in his mouth, apparently because a carnation has no thorns compared to the traditional rose. The imagery created on the screen was so powerful that to this day, male Tango stars often embrace the gaucho garb. Of course, we can safely assume that Mr. Valentino had bathed. Not surprisingly, the steamy passion that is the Argentine Tango actually bubbled up from the Underworld " the seedy low-rent districts where brothels abound. It is a dance of seduction and foreplay that was considered obscene by civil society and was roundly condemned. Of course, so was the Waltz when it made its debut. Despite the graphic nature of the dance and its lurid roots, it strikes a nerve in all men and women in their very essence. The War between the sexes is a never-ending battle for love, dominance and submission in all human beings, regardless of the polite face and romantic gestures that may be overlaid upon the surface. We all crave the presence of another in our lives to desire, and be desired. As in real life, the Argentine Tango is a dance of coming together, parting ways, and rediscovering each other anew. Far more expressive and libidinous than its American cousin, the Argentine Tango consists of a freer, less structured style. The dance is driven by the hot Latin rhythm of the music, fueled by the chemistry between the two partners. Its very hard to make a mistake dancing the tango, because as Al Pacinos character explains in Scent of a Woman, You just tango on. That movie, of course, contains another famous Tango scene.

With only a few moves, you can look like an expert on the dance floor. The trick is to alter the moves as the tempo alternates between slow and fast, elegant and dramatic. This is a dance with flair. Just like dancing through life. You move as one with your partner, somewhat rigid, in unison. Then you break away, only to spin back together. You part and dance freestyle, then reunite in an intertwining embrace, legs wrapped passionately around each other. You dip, you twirl, you sweep, you glide. You move in slow, syncopated cadence, then explode in a furious flurry. This is a dance of opposites: man and woman, slow and fast, reserved and unbridled. It is the combination of these opposites that makes the Tango so much fun to watchand learnand dance.

The Argentine Tango has come a long way from the seedy underbelly of Buenos Aires to the Times Square high society of modern day New York, but its appeal is as universal as the drama of love and romance it so wonderfully represents. It is a favorite in Latin dancehalls, but will steal the show on any dance floor.

Barrida: One partner's foot sweeps the other's foot across the floor and places it without losing contact. Boleo: a circular movement of the lower leg. Follower throws or swivels one leg with the knees locked together, usually one behind the other. Colgada: The leader tilts the followers axis away from his body. Cortina: A short piece of non-tango music played as a break between two tandas (sets of tango music) during a milonga (tango dance party). The cortina lets the dancers know that the current tanda has ended and a new tanda is about to start. When the cortina is heard, the partners thank each other and return to their own table. At this time the dancers can find a new partner. The purpose of cortinas is to create a partner change break in the music, so the songs used for cortinas are not milonga dance music, but can be rock, pop, jazz, or any non-tango genre. Cortinas are used at all the milongas in Buenos Aires and occasionally at milongas outside Argentina. Cruzada: Part of the basic 8 step, where the follower steps back with the right leg, then pivots and crosses the left foot in front of the right. Enrosque: to coil or twist While the lady dances a molinete, the man pivots on his supporting foot, hooking or coiling the working leg behind or around in front of the supporting leg Gancho: a hook Hook movement that occurs when a dancer hooks a leg sharply around or between the partners leg. Giro: a turn Turning step used to circle around your partner and change direction. Milonga: Style of music and dance written in 2/4 time, a livelier tempo than a tango. Milonga: The tango dance party originating in Buenos Aires. The most common musical styles played at a milonga are tango, vals or milonga.

A Brief History Of Salsa

2009-08-15T17:00:00.002+03:00

Learning salsa, this dance of passion, is a great way to learn Latin American dancing. Salsa is a very sensual and romantic dance and what's equally important - fun and very easy to learn. Salsa teachers like to say - if you can walk, you can salsa. In this article we will take a peek into the history of salsa. Where did Salsa originated from? It's not clear, some say Cuba, others say Puerto Rico. The fact is that Salsa evolved from a combination of many Latin and Afro-Caribbean dances. It's still very popular in both Cuba and Puerto Rico. The word Salsa comes from the Spanish language. It means sauce, a hot and spicy sauce. And why is a Spanish word for sauce used as the inspiration for a type of dance? Because of the Cuban composer Ignacio Pineiro's composition Echale Salsita. In 1930s when Echale Salsita was written, Salsa became a common nickname for many Latin dances including rhumba, cha cha, mambo, cumbia, plena, festejo, merengue, danzon, son, and so on. Salsa was influenced by many Latin dances mentioned above. They played a big part in its evolution. If we take a closer look we can see how similar Salsa is to Mambo. They both have six steps danced over eight counts of music and share many moves. Over the years numerous styles of Salsa emerged: New York Style, LA Style, Puerto Rican style, Cuban Style, Colombian or Cumbia style, Rueda Style, Cali Style, and Miami style just to name a few. They may have different step patterns, movements, turns, timing and so on. Today, Salsa is one of the most popular dances in the world. People of all walks of life enjoy it. And why shouldn't they? It's fun, romantic and easy to learn.

The Secrets Of Salsa Dancing

2009-07-29T13:10:00.001+03:00

If you're looking for a dance that's worth taking up, the answer is definitely Salsa. Need a bit of convincing? Well, here're 7 reasons why you should try Salsa: 1. Social activity: It's an excuse to meet and greet new people. For a lot of dancers, when asked how and why they started dancing, the answer is usually this: to make new friends. Dancing, particularly a dance as popular as salsa, is a sure fire way to expand your social network. You will meet different and interesting people from all walks of life in a Salsa class. And think about this: there's no better way to end a date than with salsa dancing. No two dance partners can start and finish a dance without feeling a certain connection, or understanding with each other. That's just the way of the dance. 2. Physical health: It's practically common sense that everyone needs exercise, but if jogging or doing pull ups is too boring for you, why not dance? Also, with dancing, you can adjust the intensity of the workout by pacing yourself with the speed of the music. As it is considerably a strenuous physical activity, dancing releases endorphins in your body. It boosts your mood and your energy and aids in better digestion. Every dance is a good cardio workout (strengthens breathing). If you're looking for a fun way to lose weight, then dance. 3. Agility: Learning how to dance is a step in learning how to walk a tightrope. Mastering each move, each swing, each stomp will give you better control of your own body's mechanics. You'll master balance and coordination, giving you a more dignified posture and actually lessening your risks of accidental injury. 4. Mental health: If you really get into dancing, it's likely to take up a lot of your time. You'll be busy; your mind will be working overtime, imagining and inventing moves you're excited and eager to practice on the dance floor. This conditions the mind to work; it promotes creativity as well as better coordination. And you won't be having self-esteem issues again. Being a dancer is good, but being a great dancer is awesome -the only confidence issue you're likely to face is overconfidence. 5. Dance is argued by many to be the highest art form. It's human expression at its finest. It's part of our culture as a race. Truthfully speaking, it's more than just moving the body, it's communicating on a deeper, more primal level. Dancing has been part of every era in our history; knowing how to do it exposes you to a world that's profoundly influenced human culture. 6. It's popular: If you're afraid of taking on a hobby you'll find difficulty practicing because of its low level of popularity, then you need not be afraid with Salsa. It's almost insane as to how popular this dance is. An average of 4 to 5 salsa festivals and salsa congresses are held every month, each in different locations all over the world. You'll never run out of gatherings to go to. 7. If you've read through this entire article, then you must be really curious; what better reason is there than curiosity? If you're still asking: why salsa? Well, why not? Besides, with the internet today, there are probably hundreds of instructional dance videos you can learn from. It'll be easy as pie and very rewarding, so go ahead and dance, dance, dance!

A Brief History Of Waltz

2009-07-10T18:33:00.001+03:00

Characterized by elegance, fluid and floating movements, waltz is the oldest of all the partnered dances. Today, it's spread throughout the world and very commonly danced at weddings. In this article we'll take a look at some historical facts about waltz. The word waltz comes from the German language. Waltzen means to roll, to turn, or to glide. Waltz is a turning dance, so it's a very appropriate name. Before making its way into the Hapsburg courts, waltz was a folk dance of Austria and Bavaria. In the 17th century it became very popular among young aristocracy. It was something new and exciting. But because it was a couple dance that allowed close contact, it was quickly deemed immoral and banned in some areas. This, of course, didn't stop it. We all know that forbidden fruits are the sweetest. By the end of the 18th century, waltz conquered all of Europe and soon after, the rest of the world. Mozart was a huge fan of it. Great Austrian composers of the nineteenth Century, such as Franz Lanner, Johann Strauss Senior and Junior helped enormously to popularize waltz. Johann Strauss Jr. was known as "The Waltz King". The Blue Danube is his best known work. When waltz became popular in the United States in the 1830s, it developed into a slower style, known as the Boston waltz. The original waltz, known today as the Viennese waltz, is much faster that the slow waltz we usually dance today. Did you know: Viennese waltz is 3 times faster that regular slow waltz - 180 beats per minute compared to 90. Today, waltz is one of the most popular partner dances in the world. It's romantic, elegant and very easy to learn. It clearly stood the test of time. Μάθετέ Latin και Ballroom στη Σχολή Χορού Fuente

Ballroom Dance Shoes: Informative Guide

2009-07-02T02:00:00.001+03:00

Going into the deepest aspects of this topic was an ease for us, the only purpose being to help you! Scenes of Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck dancing elegantly across the floor in "Roman Holiday" always make me want to take up ballroom dancing. There is something so romantic about being swept around a ballroom floor by a handsome man in the lead. But what would be the fate of those of us dancing with the wrong ballroom dance shoes? Ballroom dance shoes need to fit many criteria. Most importantly, they have to be comfortable. No one is capable of waltzing gracefully wearing shoes that pinch their feet. Ballroom dance shoes need to fit well and shouldn't slip off mid-dance. Then they need to have the correct height of heels. Women's ballroom dance shoes shouldn't be too high, as this makes it difficult to dance confidently, and enjoy dancing. Despite the fact that ballroom dance shoes do need heels, wearing heels that are too high dramatically shortens the amount of time that they can be worn comfortably and could cause injury. The same goes for men too.|Surprisingly, this applies to men too. Men need ballroom dance shoes that have a heel as well, but anything too short or too high will only make the pair of shoes too uncomfortable for the man to dance in. As, we've mentioned earlier, comfort is a key factor. Whether you buy your ballroom dance shoes at a store, or get them made especially for you depends on your budget and preferences. While store bought shoes do have variety, buying them makes it more likely that you'll purchase a common design. On the other hand, choosing to get your shoes made will give you the option of designing them to suit your fancy, and they have the added advantage of being made for your feet, literally; although this does raise their price. When learning ballroom dancing, the dancing instructor always should make it a point to advice students on the proper kind of ballroom dance shoes they need to invest in, as after all ballroom dance shoes are an investment you make. It is not every day that you put on your dancing shoes and go out to have a great time. Μάθετέ Latin και Ballroom στη Σχολή Χορού Fuente

4 Tips To Get Ready For Attending A Salsa Festival

2009-06-24T11:43:00.001+03:00

Salsa is one of the most popular dances in the world. Reflective of its Latino origins are the hot and heavy moves that come with the dance. Often, it will require you to be in close physical contact with a partner. No two dancers can finish dancing to a song and not feel some sort of connection, however little, afterwards. It has that power to break social barriers. Perhaps it is the greatest form of social dance. Part of being a real salsera or salsero is visiting a salsa congress. This allows you to get in touch with the different other dance enthusiasts and their cultures from around the globe. Knowing the dance community is just as important as knowing the techniques. Dancing is a social act, it was made as a venue for people to communicate emotions they cannot otherwise express in mere words. That being said, it's always a good idea to come prepared to these congresses and festivals and know what to expect. Here is a list of things to remember to make your experience worthwhile: Easily one of the most popular dances in the world, there are literally dozens of festivals and congresses held each month in different countries to celebrate it. For the avid enthusiast, going to an international fest is like going to Mecca. That is the spirit of dancing, to interact with different people the way our languages cannot -to relate to other cultures on a much higher level. Before everything else, where do you want to visit? -These events are held all over the world. Find the nearest congress venue for convenience, or take the event as a chance to visit the places you've always wanted to visit. Know where to go: A newbie seeing a list of the many festivals to attend is a little like a kid in a candy store. You won't know where to start. Would you prefer humid Singapore, or would you be more comfortable in nippy Europe? What festival would host the salsa superstar you'd want to meet? How about going someplace you can afford to go? Consider your own preferences and limitations in choosing an apt venue. Secure those full passes in advance: A full pass will allow you to attend all the workshops during the day and all the events and parties during the night. Since these events are often filled to capacity, it's definitely a good idea to book passes months before the actual event. That way, not only will you probably get a discount, you'll save yourself the hassle of going overseas for a festival and finding out there are no more slots left. Pace yourself: You're in a salsa festival for varied reasons, there's the learning to be had, the parties to conquer, the cultures to absorb, the people to meet, and everything else that comes with all that. Sleep when you can, hours of dancing will take its toll. Stick to your budget so you can still go home later in the trip. Remember that above all, you're there to enjoy the festivities and revel in the culture. Pace yourself and absorb what you can without burning out. Take notes -no, not literally, unless you want to. Besides having fun, this will be a very educational experience. You'll get to meet Salsa greats from all over the world. You'll learn dozens from the available day workshops. Soak in the culture and don't be afraid to try new things. Enjoy the festivities, it's not called a Salsa festival for nothing. The dance is about fun, socializing, and sharing cultures. Never be afraid to try and learn new things. Stay safe and good luck! Μάθετέ Latin και Ballroom στη Σχολή Χορού Fuente

Latin Ballroom Dancing

2009-06-03T11:45:00.001+03:00

Starting its journey from Latin America and the Caribbean, Latin dancing has now conquered almost every continent and every country in the world. The fashion involved and the passion of it has made it a very much accepted activity amongst all levels of the society. Cha-cha, rumba, samba, salsa, tango, and many more variations of ballroom dancing bring out a unique style of dancing. However currently only rumba, samba, Paso, cha-cha and jive are reckoned as the set of international ballroom dance. The modern so called social dancing is not purely from Latin America, but a mixture of lot of other origins as well. Nevertheless they are still known and identified as Latin dancing.
Different styles of dancing require different music as well. The popularity of ballroom dancing is such that different music cultures have also grown with it. Rumba music, salsa music, and the slow rhythmic jive music are few such kinds.
The music for each dance varies. For example, the music that is used for Salsa is not used for Jive. The steps differ making it difficult to dance for the same music. An interesting way of brushing up your Latin ballroom dancing skills is to participate in dancing competitions. These competitions are categorized into levels, starting from beginners to the more advanced. You will notice professional dancers competing in higher levels. All these provide a platform in showcasing one's hidden talents and exceptional moves to the world.
The art of ballroom dancing lies on how well you corporate with your partner. This is why it should be a better option to have one partner for all of your dance lessons. Of course the things you have learnt at the lessons could be put in to practice with several dancing partners. The art does not encircle you to a specific rule, it will only provide you with the regulations and the base style. Hence it is your duty to develop your own kind of dancing style. Of course it should not be an impossible one for your partner, but few variations from the original to suite your body and height would give it some glamour.
Although many Latin dancing world champions are from Europe it is slowly but promisingly developing in United States as well. It is evident from U.S. National Dancesport Champions that the level of dancing has improved and more and more youngsters are getting involved. With many quality Latin ballroom dance instructors you can teach yourself this wonderful art easily. Finding a better instructor should not be a problem with the help of the internet. Many websites are dedicated these days for ballroom dancing, hence you can find all the required information.

Looking For More Ballroom Dances

2009-05-28T10:52:00.001+03:00

Dancing is something all of us enjoy in any form. All we need is some great music and a party just gets better as everyone has a great time moving according to the music. Of all the kinds of dances around the world, one form of dancing has been looked upon as a form of art as well. That is ballroom dancing. Although now there's a range of dances that fall into the category of ballroom dances, it started off with only a few. Seen as a leisure activity as well as a competitive sport, ballroom dances are enhanced by the skill and enjoyment a partner brings to them. Ballroom dances are considered a form of social dancing, and were initially started as a dance form for the richer in society, while folk dancing was considered for those in the lower social status levels in society Lately, however, ballroom dances have become popular amongst people from all walks of life as an addition to their social skill-set. Its growing popularity has brought more people to dance studios hoping to learn how to dance as beautifully as the experts. Some consider it a form of exercise, and as it does involve a fair amount of physical activity, it's a great way to lose and keep off weight, without the boredom of treadmill walks. There two official styles of ballroom dances accepted in the United States . They are American Smooth and American Rhythm. American smooth includes ballroom dance like the Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot and Viennese Waltz. These dances are hand-downs from the classics. The Cha Cha, Rumba, Mambo, Bolero and East Coast Swing fall into American Rhythm. These more modern ballroom dances, benefit from the contribution of Latin American influence. Ballroom dances have come a long way, not just in time, but right across the world, becoming more popular in Asia too. Ballroom dancing is something that each of us has to learn at least to be able to say that at some point in life we knew how to dance like they did in the 'old days'. Dressing up, and dancing to smooth music with a great partner is guaranteed to make anyone feel special and is a one of a kind experience.

Ballroom Dance Lessons

2009-05-22T09:24:00.001+03:00

A good way to understand this area of interest is to read the following paragraphs you have come to the right place.
Ballroom dance lessons are not only about attending your school of dancing to learn the new steps, but also about putting them in to practice. Best way of doing this is by attending all those dance night outs organized by ballroom communities or clubs. This will give you a chance to learn many styles and variations from the experienced dancers.
It is very important to put the base in to your dancing in a proper and a standard manner to make it last long. Therefore the dance instructions should be taken from a professional ballroom dancing instructor. There are a few online learning providers as well. Some of them are absolutely free of charge. This is good once you find it difficult to attend a class regularly but still want to practice at home. These dance lessons could be split in to several segmentations. The basics would take a couple of months to be pioneered. This is the period where you will first be exposed to the world of ballroom dancing. Once you get familiarized with the basics a talented dance instructor will be able to bring out the heat in you to rip through all the learning and make you develop your own variations.
Jive, Salsa, Rumba, Waltz or even Cha-cha should not be a problem once you get trained from the right place. Ballroom dance lessons will not only be fun, it will also help you keep in shape especially if your more on the plump side.

Ballroom Dancing DVDs: What To Look For?

2009-05-20T01:22:00.000+03:00

While most articles are the same, it is very interesting to see how our readers are the most satisfied. I hope that you will be one of them. Dancing is an art; something which can be taught and learnt quite easily. Even though ballroom dancing is different from free style dancing and has certain steps and techniques that one needs to know, it is not a necessity to attend a class to learn the basics. All you need to do is purchase a ballroom dancing DVD that will teach you the basics you ought to know in becoming a ballroom dancer. Ballroom dancing has many benefits which include social interactions, acquiring new friendships, helps lose weight and keeps a person in shape. Many people find it hard to attend ballroom dancing classes especially when they are juggling work with their family life. For people who have time constraints and are unable to spend money on classes, buying a ballroom dancing DVD can be the next best solution. A ballroom dancing DVD can teach you to dance by giving out the instructions. The difference you will experience by having a ballroom dancing DVD is that you will not be in a dancing school, nor will you have an instructor telling you what to do. You will be the master of the show since you will have the option of pausing and playing each dancing move the way you want, at your own pace. A ballroom dancing DVD can be really helpful for an individual who is shy to attend a dancing class and who lacks social skills. Attending a class would mean that he or she will be surrounded with a number of people learning to dance. Making even a simple mistake could be disastrous for someone who is very self-conscious. This is why such people resort to using some type of ballroom dancing DVD as it teaches the know-how. A ballroom dancing DVD gives the individual the option of listening to their own music, helping them relax their muscles. By doing this, a person would not feel the stress which would otherwise be felt if they were in a dancing class with other people. You are able to learn the steps at the comfort of your home, whenever time permits you. Most of the ballroom dancing classes are expensive. But if you purchase a ballroom dancing DVD, it would cost you only one-third of it. Practice sessions can be held whenever you like. Dancing is loved by almost everyone, both young and old. This is why you get ballroom dancing DVD's that can be watched by both parties. Why don't you buy one and begin your journey of being a professional ballroom dancer? That's it for this article, check out some of the other articles on my site for another great read. Learn Ballroom in Σχολή Χορού Ballroom

Best Type of Ballroom Dancing Music

2009-05-16T21:55:00.001+03:00

Many aspects have been covered in this article so that you can benefit from an extended research.
To go along with the rhythm of the fascinating ballroom dancing there should definitely be a kind of music. Ballroom dance music is so lovely and romantic that it strongly influences on someone to even learn the art of dancing.
Different kinds of dances have their own type of ballroom dancing music. When talking about the most popular numbers that have captured the hearts of many, we can state the songs 'could I have this dance' and the 'mambo swing'. The rumba, the international jive and the salsa also have their own beat of music.
Today there are many websites online to provide you with ballroom dance music. A professional could easily find the kind of music they want from these online stores. This is very much a help for some sort of a desperate situation where you need the particular song for an occasion. An online streaming facility will let you verify the song prior to buying it. Regardless of your need whether it is a competition or just a Friday night bash out an online store of ballroom dance music will help you find the music you need to make it a success.
You can live ballroom by downloading the ringtones directly to your mobile phone to keep you in touch with ballroom for 24/7. Most of the ballroom music comes from the 70's. The new generation although being a little lack in producing the music with such enthusiasm there are still few which makes dancing all the more pleasurable. In the recently concluded "dancing with the stars" the hit "Do you know" by Enrique has become a huge success in producing a lovely beat to the Latin art of group dancing.
Since the rhythm and the beat of dance are heavily depended on the music, it is essential to choose the right beat for the occasion and the style of dancing. Both the male and the female will be forced to move and make their steps initiated by the beat of the song. Therefore for a beginner it is a smart option to ask for an online help to choose the right kind of music.
The steps in ballroom dancing go hand in hand with the right type of ballroom dancing music. It is essential that you get hold of the best tunes if you want to be a pro in ballroom dancing.

How ballroom dancing changes peoples lives

2009-04-16T02:02:00.001+03:00

In the 30 yrs that Ive been in the ballroom dance business Ive never seen another other occupation that I can think of that does so much for a human being , It can transform lives. mentally spritualy physically or emotionally.

Mentally ” Its a challenge and a goal that can be reached. It gets into your psyche, and drives you to be the best you can be.

Physically ” You dont realize that you are exercising, it is a sensual workout. we have great music, a great partner, it releases stress, You are so into the music that you think about nothing else when you are on the dance floor, you dont feel the physical strain only the pleasure. When you take dance position, your body begins to align itself into correct posture.

Emotional ” dancing releases endorphins and endorphins are the bodys wonder drug. After dancing you feel like you had a good workout without having to lift heavy machinery. If you want to change the mood youre in just change the music. It erases the day to day worries.

Spiritual - dancing is good for the soul. it gives you a sense of spiritual freedom. It is a universal language, it gives a sense of self in moments.

When you see people are a dance floor they are smiling, the enthusiasm is contagious. It has intoxicating intrigue. Its never too late to learn to ballroom dance.

Tango styles

2009-04-14T03:35:00.001+03:00

The Tango consists of a variety of styles that developed in different regions and eras of Argentina as well as in other locations around the world. The dance developed in response to many cultural elements, such as the crowding of the venue and even the fashions in clothing. The styles are mostly danced in either open embrace, where lead and follow have space between their bodies, or close embrace, where the lead and follow connect either chest-to-chest (Argentine tango) or in the upper thigh, hip area (American and International tango).

Different styles of Tango are:
    * Tango Argentino
    * Tango Oriental (uruguayo)
    * Tango Canyengue
    * Tango Liso
    * Tango Salon
    * Tango Orillero
    * Tango Milonguero (Tango Apilado)
    * Tango Nuevo (New Tango)
    * Show Tango (also known as Fantasia)
    * Ballroom Tango
    * Finnish Tango

These are danced to several types of music:
    * Tango
    * Vals (the tango version of waltz)
    * Milonga (a related dance that usually has a faster tempo)
    * Tango Electronico
    * "Alternative Tango," i.e. non-tango music appropriated for use in the dance

The "milonguero" style is characterized by a very close embrace, small steps, and syncopated rhythmic footwork. It is based on the petitero or caquero style of the crowded downtown clubs of the '50s.

In contrast, the tango that originated in the family clubs of the suburban neighborhoods (Villa Urquiza/Devoto/Avellaneda etc.) emphasizes long elegant steps, and complex figures. In this case the embrace may be allowed to open briefly, to permit execution of the complicated footwork.

The complex figures of this style became the basis for a theatrical performance style of Tango seen in the touring stage shows. For stage purposes, the embrace is often very open, and the complex footwork is augmented with gymnastic lifts, kicks, and drops.

A newer style sometimes called "Tango Nuevo" or "New Tango" has been popularized in recent years by a younger generation of dancers. The embrace is often quite open and very elastic, permitting the leader to lead a large variety of very complex figures. This style is often associated with those who enjoy dancing to jazz- and techno-tinged "alternative Tango" music, in addition to traditional Tango compositions.

Hip Hop and the Media

2009-04-09T00:54:00.001+03:00

Hip-hop culture is intrinsically related to television; there have been a number of television shows devoted to or about hip-hop. For a long time, BET was the only television channel likely to play much hip hop, but in recent years the mainstream channels VH1 and MTV have added a significant amount of hip hop to their play list. With the emergence of the Internet a number of online sites have also begun to offer Hip Hop related video content.

IDSF World Cup Latin 2009 - Belgium

Latin News
Category International Style Latin

Report by: Hubert de Maesschalck

As organizers we are very happy that the World Cup Latin 2009, was held this year in Antwerp, And we are very gratefully to IDSF to grant us this title.
Our new location pleased all the dancers, judges and special the public. Everything is there, what we need to run this festival.

The entry for the World Cup Latin was very good, we had 29 entries, and 26 couples danced. For the first time we had in Belgium also a couple from China, but also Japan, Canada, USA, and almost every country from Europe.

6 couples danced the final, and from the beginning it was clear that the title was going to Slovenia, or Italy. Both couples danced with class and where very well supported by the public. Almost 1000 people attended this championship, with also on the same day and evening International Open Standard and Senior II Standard.

Winning the title Jurij Batagelj, and Jagoda Strukelj from Slovenia, and 2nd Aniello Langella and Natalija Maidiuk from Italy. 3rd Jevgenijs Suvorovs and Andrrea Zelinkova from Latvia, 4th Andrea Silvestri and Martina Varadi 5th Manuel Frigheto and Warin Rooba and 6th place to Sergey and Viktoria Tatarenko from Germany.

I think it was for the judges quite difficult to place 4, 5 and 6th place, these couples are very close together, and I am sure that if we look to the marks, it will show what I just said. Next year we will run in this hall, Grand Slam Latin, and I am sure that we will see again a great competition , and we will meet these couples again with many others.

One of the main reasons people quit an exercise program is a lack of
motivation and goal setting. You may start an exercise program in hopes
of losing weight and becoming more fit. However, as you continue
exercising, you may feel that you're putting in so much effort but
gaining so little. You become unmotivated because it's just too much work.
With Dance Dance Revolution (DDR), kids, teens, and adults can find a
way to stay motivated, exercise, and have more fun. Dance Dance
Revolution is a music game available on both console and arcade. You can
choose from a variety of energetic dance songs. As the song plays, you
have to step on a specific pattern of arrows in response to the song's beat.
Like most games, learning Dance Dance Revolution takes practice. There
is a range of tempos, song genres, and step difficulties, so there is
something for everyone. Beginners can start with easy slow-paced songs.
To get better, simply practice and become familiar with the songs. As
you progress you can gradually choose faster songs and more difficult
step patterns. With enough practice and persistence you'll gain stamina,
become better at foot-eye coordination, and have a better sense of rhythm.
Since the game grades you on how well you've played each song, it is
easy to set goals and stay motivated. For example, if you achieved a 'C'
rating on a song, you can set a goal to get a 'B' rating in a certain
timeframe. If you failed a song, you can set a goal to pass that song in
a certain number of tries. Also, with a partner, you can both play the
same song and participate in some friendly competition. This competition
adds a great deal of fun. Furthermore, it helps you strive to improve
and keep playing so you can beat your dance partner.
To play Dance Dance Revolution, check out local arcades and see if any
of them has a Dance Dance Revolution arcade machine. If they don't, or
you don't want to travel to an arcade, you can get a Dance Dance
Revolution game for a console like Playstation, Playstation 2, or XBox.
Of course, you could play with a regular controller but then you
wouldn't be exercising (unless you consider finger manipulation
exercising). To experience the game the right way, you'll need a dance pad.
There are three main types of dance pads: soft thin pads, ignition pads,
and metal pads. Soft thin pads are flexible, made of plastic, and wear
out quickly. They tend to slip around a lot. I have to constantly
realign my soft thin pad while playing harder songs. If you simply want
to test out DDR, soft thin pads are great. Ignition pads are soft pads
which have a foam insert. The foam insert provides weight, durability,
and comfort. It feels different from the arcade but is easy to adapt to.
Like the soft thin pads, ignition pads will wear out. The best pads for
expert players are the metal pads. They have been designed to give more
of that arcade feel. They have greater durability and accuracy.

Aureliano Tango Club

2009-03-18T17:55:00.001+02:00

Category Tango MAY 16th London receives one more time this accomplish trio as part of an extensive European tour. Aureliano Tango Club is by far one of the most successful trio emerging from Buenos Aires in the last 3 years. We are delighted to make possible the unique performance of these talented musicians @Corrientes Social Club. Aureliano Tango Club will bring us a full concert of traditional tandas of tango, Waltz and Milonga to dance. This versatile trio will shift from his jazz sound to perform strong traditional tangos, an especial programme for all our social tango dancers @Corrientes. Not to be missed -www.corrientessocialclub.co.uk- “The singer, composer and double-bass player from Cordoba province Aureliano Martín takes the trio format as a basis for shifting tango from its conventional sound. However, his singing is deeply tango-style. When performing “Romance de Barrio”, “Milonga Sentimental” and “Flor de Lino” with sober romanticism, there are no doubts as to what he intends to convey. A former member of a popular music band, Marín surprised the porteño audience, three years ago, with his exquisite phrasing and his ability to jazz with the double-bass, getting carried away though by the tango spirit of, for instance, “Mano a mano”.” ---Buenos Aires 10th Tango Festival 2008--- This critically acclaimed band, founded and directed by the young and talented musician Aureliano Marín, has a wide recognition among the press, the public and his colleagues in Buenos Aires. THE NATION “El Tanguero of double bass. What is really attractive is how he interprets a repertoire of classic tango: a sound voice, naturally, a lot of work.” Mauro Apicella CLARÍN “It is one of the singers of tango that can not be made for the tourists ... He is odd and sings with a precise, measured phrasing and a grave and clear voice while playing the bass ... Mariano delMazo.” FINANCIAL FIELD “An excellent tanguero was born. The young musician from Cordoba, Aureliano Marin is shown as an original tanguero, he does not betray the tradition of the genre.” Ricardo Salton TELAM “Aureliano Marin ... emerged as one of the young performers most promising of the decade. Marin virtues are evident, and not because he has a classic training, he does no shouts, he modulates and can be understood without engole. He has a dark voice, melodious, quite manly. Marin is not corny.” Hector Puyo.

Το Tango βοηθά τους ασθενείς με Parkinson

2009-03-18T01:39:00.001+02:00

Category Tango
Πηγή: www.dancenews.gr
Γράφει ο Ιάσονας Μηλίτης (iasonmilitis@gmail.com)

Νέα έρευνα από Πανεπιστήμιο της Ουάσινγκτον των Η.Π.Α. αποδεικνύει για μια ακόμα φορά τα οφέλη του χορού σε ασθενείς, αυτή τη φορά για όσους πάσχουν από Parkinson.
Ασθενείς με Πάρκινσον συμμετείχαν σε 20 συνεδρίες με μαθήματα τάνγκο και έδειξαν μεγαλύτερη βελτίωση στην κίνηση και την ισορροπία τους συγκριτικά με άλλους ασθενείς με Πάρκινσον που έκαναν συμβατικές γυμναστικές ασκήσεις.
Οι ερευνητές Gammon M. Earhart, Ph.D., αναπληρωτής καθηγητής φυσιοθεραπείας, και Madeleine E. Hackney, βοηθός διδάκτορα στην επιστήμη της κίνησης, συνέκριναν τα αποτελέσματα των μαθημάτων αργεντίνικου τάνγκο και γυμναστικής άσκησης πάνω στην κίνηση 19 ασθενών με Πάρκινσον. Σύμφωνα με τις κλίμακες Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UP-DRS) και Berg Balance Scale, οι ασθενείς που έκαναν αργεντίνικο τάνγκο είχαν καλύτερα αποτελέσματα, όπως αυτά εμφανίστηκαν στην ερευνητική εργασία που δημοσιεύθηκε το Δεκέμβριο του 2007 στο επιστημονικό περιοδικό “Journal of Neurologic Physical Therapy.
Η ασθένεια Parkinson είναι μια σοβαρή διαταραχή, που επηρεάζει τα νευρικά εκείνα κύτταρα του εγκεφάλου που επηρεάζουν την κίνηση των μυών του σώματος. Συνέπεια αυτής της δυσλειτουργίας είναι το τρέμουλο μερών του σώματος, όπως τα χέρια, πόδια, πρόσωπο, η ακαμψία χεριών και ποδιών, η ελλιπής ισορροπία σώματος και ο κακός συντονισμός των μελών του σώματος μεταξύ τους. Οι ασθενείς με Πάρκινσον έχουν πολλά προβλήματα στην κίνησή τους και χρειάζονται υποστήριξη.
Οι ερευνητές που ανέλαβαν το συγκεκριμένο project, ανέθεσαν τυχαία σε 19 ασθενείς να παρακολουθήσουν μαθήματα αργεντίνικου τάνγκο, τα οποία περιελάμβαναν στρέτσινγκ, ασκήσεις ισορροπίας, περπάτημα tango, ασκήσεις με βήματα, χορός με ή χωρίς παρτενέρ και συντονισμό βημάτων με τη μουσική. Τα μαθήματα ήταν ειδικά σχεδιασμένα για ασθενείς με Πάρκινσον και ηλικιωμένους, ενώ γινόταν εξέταση πριν και μετά το μάθημα. Αντίστοιχα, ένα άλλο γκρουπ ασθενών με Parkinson παρακολούθησε μαθήματα γυμναστικής, που περιελάμβαναν 40 λεπτά καθιστικής άσκησης και, επακόλουθα, ασκήσεις σε όρθια στάση που υποστηρίζονταν από καρέκλα, ασκήσεις ενδυνάμωσης του κορμού και στρέτσινγκ.
Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν ότι οι ασθενείς που παρακολούθησαν τα μαθήματα τάνγκο είχαν πολύ καλύτερα αποτελέσματα από εκείνους που έκαναν συμβατικές γυμναστικές ασκήσεις. “Θεωρούμε ότι το tango είναι μια πολύ καλή περίπτωση ομαδικής άσκησης για άτομα με Parkinson”, αναφέρει ο Earhart, “αν και κάποιοι ήταν λίγο διστακτικοί στην αρχή, επειδή θεωρούσαν ότι λόγω της ασθένειας δε θα μπορούσαν να τα καταφέρουν”. Οι ερευνητές τόνισαν ακόμα ότι, ενώ ο χορός είναι γενικά καλός σαν άσκηση για τους ασθενείς με Πάρκινσον, το τάνγκο ειδικότερα προσφέρει επιπλέον οφέλη, καθώς εστιάζει σε συγκεκριμένα σημεία της κίνησης, όπως δυναμική ισορροπία, στροφές, εκκίνηση βηματισμού, κίνηση σε διαφορετικούς ρυθμούς αλλά και περπάτημα προς τα πίσω. Επιπλέον, το κοινωνικό κομμάτι του χορού βοηθά ένα παραπάνω τους ασθενείς γιατί συνεισφέρει και ψυχολογικά στη βελτίωση της διάθεσής τους.

Slavik Kryklyvyy & Hanna Karttunen stopped dancing together

2009-03-17T02:42:00.002+02:00

Latin News
Category International Style Latin

We have just confirmed the rumours - it will sadden all their fans to learn that Slavik Kryklyvyy & Hanna Karttunen no longer dance together. Slavik and Hanna danced together for a very short time and represented Finland in Professional Latin. The only result we have in the database is the 6th place in the Professional Latin championships during the UK Open 2009.
Hanna, who originally comes from Finland had a very successful partnership with Paul Killick between 1999 and 2004. They were the British Champions and silver World Professional Latin medallists as well as 2nd in Blackpool. Slavik, from Ukraine danced with Elena Khvorova last year but his best results were with Karina Smirnoff. They were the USA national champions and bronze World Professional Latin medallists several years ago.

Προέλευση και σύντομο ιστορικό του Mambo

2009-02-12T21:15:00.001+02:00

Από τον δικτυακό ιστότοπο της Σχολής Χορού Fuente
Category Mambo
Ο χορός Mambo προήλθε από τη Κούβα όπου υπήρχαν πολλές αποικίες Αϊτινών. Στην χώρα της Αϊτής, το Mambo είναι ιέρεια βουντού, που λειτουργεί ως σύμβουλος, θεραπευτής, εξορκιστής, μάντης, πνευματικός καθοδηγητής, έως και διοργανωτής δημόσιας ψυχαγωγίας. Εντούτοις, δεν υπάρχει λαϊκός χορός στην Αϊτή που να αποκαλείται Mambo. Η μίξη του Swing και της κουβανικής μουσικής παρήγαγε αυτόν τον συναρπαστικό ρυθμό του Mambo, από τον οποίο δημιουργήθηκε στη συνέχεια ο νέος συγκλονιστικός χορός το Mambo.

SECRETS OF TANGO, Παγκόσμια Πρεμιέρα

2009-02-10T10:11:00.001+02:00

14 Μαρτίου έως 29 Μαρτίου
στο ΠΟΛΙΣ THEATER
Category Tango
Ο Gustavo Russo που έσπασε ταμεία σε Αθήνα και Θεσσαλονίκη με την παράσταση «Tango Seduction» και καθήλωσε τους θεατές, δύο χρόνια μετά παρουσιάζει σε παγκόσμια πρεμιέρα στην Ελλάδα την καινούργια του παραγωγή «Secrets of Tango».
Το «Secrets of Tango» είναι μια παράσταση που αποκαλύπτει τα μυστικά του πιο αισθησιακού χορού όλων των εποχών, του Αργεντίνικου tango και υπερβαίνει όλες τις προηγούμενες παραγωγές. Έξι υπέροχα χορευτικά ζευγάρια, ανάμεσα τους και ο διάσημος χορευτής Gustavo Russo, θα μας μαγέψουν με το ταλέντο και το πάθος τους για το tango.
Για πρώτη φορά η συναρπαστική αλήθεια του tango παρουσιάζεται στην πιο αυθεντική εκδοχή της, με τρόπο μοναδικό. Η διαδρομή του Aργεντίνικου tango και τα μυστικά του, από την γέννησή του μέχρι σήμερα, από την πιο παραδοσιακή μέχρι τη πιο σύγχρονη μορφή του, μία καταιγιστική εναλλαγή τεχνοτροπιών, αλλά και συναισθημάτων, σε μία παράσταση που ξεχώρισε για την άψογη τεχνική των καλλιτεχνών, για τις ευρηματικές χορογραφίες και την υψηλή αισθητική της.
Πρόκειται για ένα φαντασμαγορικό θέαμα που προετοιμαζόταν για δύο περίπου χρόνια, με συνεργάτες μερικά από τα πιο "δυνατά" ονόματα του χώρου -χορευτές, τραγουδιστές, μουσικούς, αλλά και σκηνογράφους, ενδυματολόγους, φωτιστές και ηχολήπτες. Ο Gustavo Russo αντλεί υλικό από την παράδοση, το οποίο δένει, όμως, αρμονικά με νέες ιδέες και θέματα, συνδυάζοντας τεχνικές από διαφορετικά είδη χορού – παραδοσιακό τάνγκο, μοντέρνο χορό και κλασικό μπαλέτο και μας αποκαλύπτει όλα όσα δεν γνωρίζουμε για αυτόν τον μοναδικό χορό. Η ορχήστρα του Secrets of Tango ερμηνεύει μοναδικά περισσότερα από 35 αγαπημένα μουσικά κομμάτια τάνγκο, αποδίδοντας φόρο τιμής σε όλους εκείνους τους συνθέτες και μουσικούς που έκαναν παγκοσμίως γνωστό το Tango, όπως στους V. Greco, G. Rodriguez, A. Bardi, A. Villoldo και φυσικά στον Α. Piazzolla.
