Book excerpt: From the INTRODUCTION. It is significant that the folk dance has come to fill a large place in the life of the people of the city. Country men and women coming to the town have left behind them the dances that have formed part of their lives and much of their pleasure, because city conditions were different and country traits unbecoming. Our own country dances "The Lady of the Lake," "Hi! Jim Along," and even the "Virginia Reel" have not survived a separation from their birthplaces. Foreign people coming to our cities form closer groups, and during times of festivity the emotions arising from old associations seek expression in the old dances. The old rhythms of folk dances are common to all human life. Many generations of city-dwelling cannot do more than cover thinly the innate tendencies to dance the old forefather dances of the sod, mountain, or steppe. It needs but the music and festal occasion to fling off newly acquired restrictions which overlie the pure rustic humanity of man. Thus the folk dance has come to signify the revival of the expression of old fundamental rural impulses, pure and lovely as the sunshine of the fields. The general European revival and our own use of the folk dance is an expression of this deep-rooted longing. In New York City dancing has taken its legitimate place in the education and recreation of the children in the schools. There the dances have lightened the formal gymnastics with a natural interest, and have returned large values in a normal joyous expression of fundamental impulses. So few city recreations are not manufactured that the genuine is rare and is to be valued accordingly. This volume of folk dances taken from Swedish sources and sympathetically translated for American use by Mr. Bergquist is genuine and cannot fail to receive the large appreciation it deserves, for he has danced them as his forefathers did in Sweden itself.

Download or read book City Folk written by Daniel J. Walkowitz and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2013-07-22 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of English Country Dance, from its 18th century roots in the English cities and countryside, to its transatlantic leap to the U.S. in the 20th century, told by not only a renowned historian but also a folk dancer, who has both immersed himself in the rich history of the folk tradition and rehearsed its steps. In City Folk, Daniel J. Walkowitz argues that the history of country and folk dancing in America is deeply intermeshed with that of political liberalism and the ‘old left.’ He situates folk dancing within surprisingly diverse contexts, from progressive era reform, and playground and school movements, to the changes in consumer culture, and the project of a modernizing, cosmopolitan middle class society. Tracing the spread of folk dancing, with particular emphases on English Country Dance, International Folk Dance, and Contra, Walkowitz connects the history of folk dance to social and international political influences in America. Through archival research, oral histories, and ethnography of dance communities, City Folk allows dancers and dancing bodies to speak. From the norms of the first half of the century, marked strongly by Anglo-Saxon traditions, to the Cold War nationalism of the post-war era, and finally on to the counterculture movements of the 1970s, City Folk injects the riveting history of folk dance in the middle of the story of modern America.
