  • Definitions of Technical Terms and Fundamentals
    DEFINITIONS OF TECHNICAL TERMS AND FUNDAMENTALS INTRODUCTION Even if you are not required, during your Amateur Dancesport Instructor Examination, to verbalize the exact foot position, alignment and footwork on each step, the solo demonstration of figures should be accurate in all aspects both as leader and follower. The figures must be danced as described in the Technique Books and in their entirety. You will find below, in a brief and clear manner, definitions for the technical terms used in your Technique Books (chart headings). Your Mentor will be able to explain and complete, if necessary, these definitions.-Should a question be asked during your examination concerning the following fundamentals remember at this level a simple answer is required. Bear in mind that <showing it> is always stronger than words alone. If you forget, for example the description of CBMP, go on and show a figure, or move, using CBMP. Understanding the fundamentals will strengthen and develop the knowledge and required skills you need as a dance instructor. BALLROOM (STANDARD) I.S.T.D. The Ballroom Technique FEET POSITIONS: - The direction (or position) of one foot in relation to the other at the end of a step (for example; the leg swings forward to end to a side position). CBMP: - (Contrary Body Movement Position) The position attained when either foot is placed on or across the line of the supporting foot, either in front or behind to maintain body line (It is therefore a foot position). CBMP is used on outside partner steps, in line with partner and in promenade position.

  • Round Dances Scot Byars Started Dancing in 1965 in the San Francisco Bay Area
    Syllabus of Dance Descriptions STOCKTON FOLK DANCE CAMP – 2016 – FINAL 7/31/2016 In Memoriam Floyd Davis 1927 – 2016 Floyd Davis was born and raised in Modesto. He started dancing in the Modesto/Turlock area in 1947, became one of the teachers for the Modesto Folk Dancers in 1955, and was eventually awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award for dance by the Stanislaus Arts Council. Floyd loved to bake and was famous for his Chocolate Kahlua cake, which he made every year to auction off at the Stockton Folk Dance Camp Wednesday auction. Floyd was tireless in promoting folk dancing and usually danced three times a week – with the Del Valle Folk Dancers in Livermore, the Modesto Folk Dancers and the Village Dancers. In his last years, Alzheimer’s disease robbed him of his extensive knowledge and memory of hundreds, if not thousands, of folk dances. A celebration for his 89th birthday was held at the Carnegie Arts Center in Turlock on January 29 and was attended by many of his well-wishers from all over northern California. Although Floyd could not attend, a DVD was made of the event and he was able to view it and he enjoyed seeing familiar faces from his dancing days. He died less than a month later. Floyd missed attending Stockton Folk Dance Camp only once between 1970 and 2013. Sidney Messer 1926 – 2015 Sidney Messer died in November, 2015, at the age of 89. Many California folk dancers will remember his name because theny sent checks for their Federation membership to him for nine years.
