Download or read book Mechanics of Ballroom Dancing written by Stephen Arthur Nystrom and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-04-13 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to take the questions out of ballroom dancing. This book is designed for anyone who is interested in taking the mystery out of ballroom dancing. It explains many of the questions that arise while learning ballroom dance that your instructor may or may not be able to address appropriately. Many dance instructors dance great; however, they are unable to help you adjust your dancing by explaining what they are doing. Those instructors generally show you a figure and continue to show you the figure until you get it. This is very time-consuming and expensive to the student. The goal of this book is to simplify some of these intricate movements as well as explain the dance connection in dance. This book also helps give new students a better understanding of how dancing works, which will help them improve their dancing a lot more rapidly. The book also gives some examples of bad dancing habits versus good dancing habits. There are specific exercises in the book to help improve connection, body movement, and self-control with specific steps. The book points out the kind of qualities you are looking for in an instructor, which include excellent dance knowledge, professionalism, enthusiasm, etc. There are many typical questions that every new ballroom dancer has while learning the dance. There are questions provided that, if asked, will provide you (the student) with some insight about your instructor's knowledge of ballroom dancing. This is critical because an instructor cannot correct your dancing if they do not understand how to do it correctly themselves. Finally, the book has been written in an effort to raise awareness of good ballroom dancing. It is open to interpretation and vulnerable to criticism as well as other dancers' opinions. Keep in mind, every ballroom-dance organization has dissenters in their organization about how things should be done. This, in part, is what creates different styles of dance. The end result is improved dancing knowledge for all concerned. Always keep one thing in mind: If what you are doing hurts, stop doing it. Dancing correctly will not hurt.

Download or read book Dance With Me written by Julia A. Ericksen and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Click here to listen to Julia Ericksen's interview about Dance with Me on Philadelphia NPR's "Radio Times" Rumba music starts and a floor full of dancers alternate clinging to one another and turning away. Rumba is an erotic dance, and the mood is hot and heavy; the women bend and hyperextend their legs as they twist and turn around their partners. Amateur and professional ballroom dancers alike compete in a highly gendered display of intimacy, romance and sexual passion. In Dance With Me, Julia Ericksen, a competitive ballroom dancer herself, takes the reader onto the competition floor and into the lights and the glamour of a world of tanned bodies and glittering attire, exploring the allure of this hyper-competitive, difficult, and often expensive activity. In a vivid ethnography accompanied by beautiful photographs of all levels of dancers, from the world’s top competitors to social dancers, Ericksen examines the ways emotional labor is used to create intimacy between professional partners and between professionals and their students, illustrating how dancers purchase intimacy. She shows that, while at first glance, ballroom presents a highly gendered face with men leading and women following, dancing also transgresses gender.

You're about to discover how to save money and take control of your Ballroom and social dance future. Whatever your excuse, it is JUST an excuse. In 'Yes! You CAN Ballroom Dance', I provide the facts so that you can make an informed decision about what is, and is not, possible when it comes to dancing. Whatever the excuse, you CAN dance...and I can prove it! In Section One, the excuses are debunked. A sad fact of the Western world is that many people mistakenly conclude that they can't couple dance because they can't move like Michael Jackson did. But they haven't been taught that ballroom dance requires different skills. Learn the rules, practice a little, and soon you will be dancing around the floor in happy abandon! This section was designed so that the one who wants to dance can give it to the one who doesn't want to dance, along with the words, "Just read the first section. If that doesn't convince you to at least give Couple Dance a try, I'll give you some peace." Section Two: Decision Made. Here I talk about the different dances and how they might be used. You will learn about the different types of lessons and how they are used to help you learn efficiently and quickly. You also learn how to determine if you have an honest studio, and a knowledgeable teacher. This is the meat of the book as it will give you the information, going in, to negotiate with knowledge of what you are getting into. Section Three is like a notebook of information I think it is useful for every student to have. Here you'll learn the difference between a slot, a spot, and a progressive dance. You'll learn a little about foot and room alignments, and why it's important to know these things. I discuss Dance frame, timing, and many other useful topics. Here Is A Preview Of What You'll Learn... How to negotiate effectively with a studio or independent teacher How to overcome objections to learning to Ballroom Dance How to find partners, and ask them to dance How to find the right teacher What the different dances are and how you might use them How the different lessons work together How to become a teacher How to fire a teacher Much, much more!
