Download or read book The Dance in Ancient Greece written by Lillian Beatrice Lawler and published by Wesleyan. This book was released on 1965 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents an academic yet non-technical introduction and overview of ancient Greek dance. Dance was very important to the ancient Greeks, associated with music, verse, and the theatre. Processions, games, and performances involving dance were popular and widespread in Greek culture. Lawler lists seven types of sources for her work: literary, metrical, musical, archaeological, epigraphical, linguistic, and anthropological, and explores the forms, occasions, and participants involved with ancient Greek dances. Literary sources are numerous and rich and Lawler suggests reading them will give more insights into ancient Greek dance. Metrical sources include actual treatises on metrics as well as actual lines of verse used for dance. Much of the metrical material is fragmentary, while musical sources include discussions of music by writers as well as mostly fragmentary musical remains.

Book excerpt: In Greece, folk dancing can boast a longer and less interrupted descent than in any other country. If we look at the ancient vase-paintings and bas-reliefs, we find that the poise, the steps and motions are very similar to those in use today. The long years of Turkish rule could not quench the flames of Greek national pride, and this flame still burns bright. The Klephs, the guerilla warriors of the mountains, who were a thorn in the flesh of the Turkish overlords, had their own dances, and Greek dancing is still of a predominantly warlike character. For those who would essay these dances themselves, detailed step notations are provided, together with music; and four charming colour plates show the correct costumes to go with the dances.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The original compositions in this book were inspired by the ancient Greek dances. Dance has played an important role in the society and life of Greeks throughout their history. In the ancient Greek societies, dance was held in high regard. Philosophers Plato (427-347 BC) and Aristotle (384-322 BC) wrote detailed descriptions of the dances. Dance, along with writing, music and physical exercise was basic to the education system and many authors praised its virtues for both body and soul. There are over 4000 traditional dances from all regions of Greece. There are also Pan Hellenic dances which have been adopted and performed throughout the Greek world and by international folk dance groups.

Book excerpt: Throughout its history, the United States has become a new home for thousands of immigrants, all of whom have brought their own traditions and expressions of ethnicity. Not least among these customs are folk dances, which over time have become visual representations of cultural identity. Naturally, however, these dances have not existed in a vacuum. They have changed--in part as a response to ever-changing social identities, and in part as a reaction to deliberate manipulations by those within as well as outside of a particular culture. Compiled in great part from the author's own personal dance experience, this volume looks at how various cultures use dance as a visual representation of their identity, and how "traditional" dances change over time. It discusses several "parallel layers" of dance: dances performed at intra-cultural social occasions, dances used for representation or presentation, and folk dance performances. Individual chapters center on various immigrant cultures. Chiefly the work focuses on cultural representation and how it is sometimes manipulated. Key folk dance festivals in the United States and Canada are reviewed. Interviews with dancers, teachers, and others offer a first-hand perspective. An extensive bibliography encompasses concert programs and reviews as well as broader scholarly sources.
