In the Fifties, rock dances were generally appropriated from other sources; the lindy hop and the jitterbug served as a basis for many of the fast dances, and aside from the occasional glorious one-off (The Diamonds' deathless, monumentally sleazy "The Stroll"), most rock dancing in the Ike Years remained confined to a few moves.

Armenian Dance In every Armenian community worldwide, the traditional Western Armenian music and dance remained an important cultural factor in their community. In the United States, this popular tradition is a synthesis of two dissimilar Western Armenian styles: the urban oriental style and the rural folk style. These styles were preserved and fostered in the U.S. for decades through the picnics of the "compatriotic unions," such as Sepastatsi Vanetzi and Kharpetzi In the late 1940s, the rise of the Vosbikian Band, followed by Artie Barsamian, the Gomidas, the Norikes, etc., heralded the American-Armenian "Big Band" era. A homogeneous style of American-Armenian music developed which incorporated elements of both urban and rural traditional music and contemporary American music; e.g., Jazz and Latin rhythms. Old songs were altered to fit this new brash sound, and new songs and a new American-Armenian dance form also developed. Some of the dance steps are traditional village dance steps that have been modified to fit the music; e.g., Bar Halay Tamzara Pompuri Sepastia Bar , and Laz bar . Other dance steps have been adopted and modified from other ethnic groups such as Greek and Arabic; e.g.

8. COMMENTARY allows for audience participation. Throughout rock and roll history,dance fads have always been popular. In fact, rock and roll http://rockwisdom.com/commentaries/commentary56.htm

CHAPTER COMMENTARY Music can be a positive influence in that it can help cultivate and develop the individual skills of the musicians and listening audience. First, the exposure to different human emotions, ideas, concepts, music, and literature styles provides an educational opportunity. Second, the process used to select and choose musical preferences can help develop decision making skills needed to establish individual identity and independence. Third, the material and selection process may help to develop individual talents, skills, and areas of interest. For some, music may become a talent to explore, a hobby, or an area of interest. Whether taken separately or collectively, all these factors can promote personal growth. Another way music can be positive is that can be used to promote social opportunities. Music can be used to bring together individuals with common interests and be used to promote social interaction and atmosphere, such as music for dancing. Dancing is one of the most enjoyable aspects of music because it allows for audience participation. Throughout rock and roll history, dance fads have always been popular. In fact, rock and roll started primarily as dance music to wilder and more complex versions of the Lindy and Jitterbug. In the 1960s, swing dancing was replaced by "free form" dancing, which gained popularity because it was easy to do and did not require a dance partner. Several popular dance fads emerged such as the Twist, the Stroll, the Watusi, the Mashed Potato, the Jerk, the Monkey, the Pony, and the Boogaloo. The 1970s and 1980s brought forward such dance crazes as Boogying, the Bump, the Pogo, Slam dancing, and Break dancing.

9. America Dances our history. The improvisational base for 20th century social dancebegins with wild cakewalk/animal dance fads. The 1920s explodes http://swingdanceshop.com/americadances.html

See List of Film Clips Below This exciting new video/DVD offers an opportunity to see rare historical clips of "dance on film" which have been lost to the public for years until now! Step back in time and enjoy this 'primary source' of over 60 historical dance film clips in America Dances! 1897-1948: A Collector's Edition of Social Dance in Film. This nostalgic history lesson provides an engrossing record of our changing dance styles from the first part of the 20th century. The retrospective spans the panorama from average Americans dancing in newsreels to top quality performers who have left a dance legacy of graceful moves across the ballroom floor. The DVD/VHS records some of the pivotal dance moments of our history. The improvisational base for 20th century social dance begins with wild cakewalk/animal dance fads. The 1920s explodes the limits of social dance in the Blackbottom and Charleston. Dance Marathons and the influential Lindy Hop emerge triumphant in the 1930s. Finally, the 1940s are distinguished by romantic Latin dances and feature film "aerial" athletics. Highlights in the collection are: elegant performances from the silent film era by Irene and Vernon Castle (the role models for modern ballroom dance), Blackbottom clips demonstrating colloquial roots, newsreels showing Charleston contests, excruciating couple dancing in the interminable dance marathons, and a variety of the finest clips available for the show-stopping Lindy Hop, celebrated by the renown Whitey's Lindy Hoppers.

And the Dance Goes On... The Musician/ Dancer Dynamic The spread of Swing popularity Racial Issues Continuing popularity of Swing Which came first, swing dance or swing music? Like the chicken and the egg, we may never really know. The dynamic relationship between musician and dancer seems to obscure the answer. However, as Howard Spring notes in his article Swing and the Lindy Hop, the first public references to the Lindy Hop were in 1928, just before the music started to change. He feels this suggests that originally it was the dance that set off changes in the music. For example, the musicians began to use fewer "two bar breaks", which interrupted the momentum of the music, during the 1930's as swing dance gained popularity. Versions of classic songs like the "King Porter Stomp" by Fletcher Henderson and his Orchestra became "riffier" with a more driving beat. However, as Swing solidified, the dancers took from the musicians in much the same way as musicians took from dancers. Frankie Manning, Savoy lindyhopper, reported that he would often "catch" ideas from the band while dancing and the drummer or soloists would "catch" his steps - often reinforcing the beat or adding drum shots. Likewise, with the introduction of aerials, tempos rose because flights could be more easily executed with a driving beat behind them. The excitement of both performers - musician and dancer - reinforced the other. The phenomenon created was intoxicating and rapidly spread in popularity.

Group Dances of the 1950s Hi Lindy Hoppers!!! Come, let's Stroll! Dances of the 1950s We did a whole lot of searching for information about the evolution of dancing. We found this "Time Line" on a C&.W website somewhere in Texas. (I forgot to write down the source, sorry...). This may not be authoritative, but it sounds right. So, without further ado, the Evolution of American Dance: pre 1890 Waltz, Quadrille, Minuet, Gavotte 1890's Polka, Schottische, Cotton Eyed Joe 1900-1920 Foxtrot, Turkey Trot, Peabody, Charleston 1920-1930 Jive, Lindy Hop 1930-1940 Rumba, Samba, Tango 1940-1950 Mambo, West Coast Swing 1950-1960 Cha Cha, Bosa Nova, Stroll 1960-1970 Monkey, Jerk, Mashed Potato, Madison For two nights (August 19 and 16, 2002) Ellen and Marc gave us a little more insight into the mysteries of dancing after 1950. Specifically they focused on three group dances of the period: The Stroll, the Hand Jive, and the Madison. By the way, they will be repeating this class in August of 2004 on Monday evenings. Check their website for details The Stroll The stroll is the classic line dance of the 1950's. It is performed to slow swing and rhythm and blues The stroll is popular throughout the swing scene in Europe (strange as it's an American dance). Less danced in the US, it's addictive so that this will soon change, especially if Ellen and Marc have anything to do with it.... You can stroll to loads of swing music, popular choices include -

Top billing in the entertainment business has always existed, since the New York Latin music industry was born, back in 1930. Bandleaders, I have learned, are not the only ones infected with this damnable disease. The "self importance" bug bites people from all walks of life and professions. The history of people suffering from delusions of grandeur is hundreds of years old. A century ago, any person caught standing above the person of an Egyptian Pharaoh was slain. During the chivalrous era of the 12th century, knights sitting on the side of an oblong table were offended. A round table was ordered designed by King Arthur of Great Britain to make all the knights feel equally important. Although the feeling of self-importance in 1973 is the same as that in the 12th century, a round table today is a poor substitution for the top dollar that Top Billing affords. For the last eleven years (1961-1972), Latin music lovers and dancers have been deprived of an enjoyable evening because certain bandleaders have not appeared for scheduled performances because their names were placed in ads in an order not to their liking.
