Types of Dance Styles Types of Dance Styles International Standard Ballroom Dances Ballroom Dance: Ballroom dancing is one of the most entertaining and elite styles of dancing. In the earlier days, ballroom dancewas only for the privileged class of people, the socialites if you must. This style of dancing with a partner, originated in Germany, but is now a popular act followed in varied dance styles. Today, the popularity of ballroom dance is evident, given the innumerable shows and competitions worldwide that revere dance, in all its form. This dance includes many other styles sub-categorized under this. There are many dance techniques that have been developed especially in America. The International Standard recognizes around 10 styles that belong to the category of ballroom dancing, whereas the American style has few forms that are different from those included under the International Standard. Tango: It definitely does take two to tango and this dance also belongs to the American Style category. Like all ballroom dancers, the male has to lead the female partner. The choreography of this dance is what sets it apart from other styles, varying between the International Standard, and that which is American. Waltz: The waltz is danced to melodic, slow music and is an equally beautiful dance form. The waltz is a graceful form of dance, that requires fluidity and delicate movement. When danced by the International Standard norms, this dance is performed more closely towards each other as compared to the American Style. Foxtrot: Foxtrot, as a dance style, gives a dancer flexibility to combine slow and fast dance steps together. This social dance was named after the actor Harry Fox. Viennese Waltz: This style of ballroom dance is based on the original form of the waltz. There are many versions of this style of dance. It originated in the latter period of the 18th century. Quickstep: This style belongs to the International Style of Ballroom dancing which originated in the 1920s. This dance includes many steps with quick momentum. As seen in the move 'Dance With Me', the Foxtrot is both fun, and a dance that requires synchronicity. Cha-Cha-Cha: The cha-cha-cha simply called the cha-cha is a type of Latin-American dance which is very rhythmic in its appeal. This dance is energetic with slow movements as well. Rumba: This sensual dance is based on slow hip movement. Rumba belongs to the International Standard as well as the American style. This dance is known for the beauty of the steps that are coordinated on a slow rhythm. Samba: This beautiful and energetic dance also has many forms. The steps may differ in Samba that is danced as per the ballroom style and the traditional style samba choreography. Jive: This is yet another lively form of ballroom dance. This dance is also amongst the five dances that belong to the Latin American dance styles. Seen as a dance style that had taken the 30s and 40s (dancers moved mostly to jazz music) to perfect and pass on years later, still keeping it just as upbeat like it were back in the day. Paso Doble: This lively dance is also an International Latin dance style with less emphasis on hip movement. The basic structure of this Latin dance is based on the sounds and the movements used in Spanish bullfights. American Style Dances Bolero: This type of dance style is basically slow and originated in Spain. It can be danced solo or as a couple. Mambo: Mambo is a Latin dance that makes the use of many steps which are considered complex in origin. Mambo is also known as the root of salsa dance. East Coast Swing: This type of partner dance is based on the Lindy Hop. East Coast Swing dancing consists of many simple steps that follow the basics of Lindy Hop. Styles of Ballroom Dances Worldwide: Salsa: Salsa has its base in areas of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Latin America. This partner dance is a very sensual form that is known for its flirtatious and lively antics. While dancing the salsa, the couples can even perform in the same spot, without shifting around the dance floor. The dance steps show many influences from other dances such as the Mambo, Changui, Palo, Rumba etc. There are many other various forms of the Salsa such as the Cuban style, New York style, Colombian style, and the Los Angeles style. Merengue: This type of dance requires the partners to be together in a close position. The steps are often in circular movements or away from each other in a sideway fashion. There are many intricate steps to this dance. Bachata: This is a romantic style of dance that finds its origins in the Dominican Republic. The Bachata is a little similar to the Merengue. Lambada: Sexy and stylish, the lambada is a Brazilian dance that is performed as a couple or even in groups. This dance was particularly in the limelight because of the famous track 'Lambada' by a music group, 'Kaoma'. Polka: This is a style of dance that also refers to a type of music. The Polka is a fast-paced dance, which is also present in various styles. Hustle: The Hustle is performed as a Ballroom dance and is very popular in nightclubs as well. The Hustle was particularly popular due to the movie, 'Saturday Night Fever'. Swing Dance: The Swing dance style originated in the 1920s - 1930s. There are many versions of the Swing dance such as the Lindy Hop, Jitterbug, Boogie Woogie, West Coast Swing, Rock and Roll etc. Rock 'n' Roll is a very sporty form of dance that is extremely popular as well. Boogie Woogie is another dance style that is seen mainly in Europe. This dance is also seen in competitions. Ballet Dance: Ballet is the kind of dance that a lot of us wish we could mimic, given the way the dancers glide over the dance floor, often a dance that portrays a story or idea. This dance was developed in France and Russia. Classical ballet is the most formal and common style of ballet. Apart from this, there is Neoclassical ballet and Contemporary ballet. Breakdance: Michael Jackson popularized breakdancing to a huge extent. Breakdancing is actually a form of street dance that was a part of the hip-hop culture. Breakdance is relatively a male dominated type of dance style. This type of dance is characterized with 'dance battles' between groups. The 'Downrock' and the 'Freeze' are some of the typical forms of breakdance. Hip Hop Dance: This style is actually a street dance style and is a combination of dance moves combined with loads of attitude as well as colorful dance-wear. In the early days, this style was generally seen in breakdancing and from there on, one could witness many innovations of this dance style. There are various other styles used with hip hop dance, which includes popping and locking. The hip-hop outfits have to be selected with care, which helps to add to the overall appeal of the dance form. Step Dance: This category includes dances that make use of footwork. This type of dance generally require one to have a rigid stance with more movement of one's feet. Step dances are basically social dances. A good example of this dance would be Irish dancing. Tap Dance: Tap dance is an extremely popular form of dance. Here the emphasis is on the movements of the feet and steps that create a tapping sound. This dance finds its origins in the United States. The tapping sound is due to the presence of metal plates on the soles of the shoes. Flamenco Dance: The flamenco dance and music is very much a major part of the culture of Spain. The beautiful songs play a major role for this type of dance style. This beautiful style is also particularly noticeable due to the gorgeous costumes. The music always includes the flamenco guitar. Fandango: This dance style is one of the main dances in Portugal. It involves the tapping of the feet and quick changes of the position. This is a folk dance, which has its origins in Southern Spain. However, there are many theories about the origins of the same. Jazz Dance: Jazz dance finds its origins in the African-American culture. From the olden days till date, there are many influences that have added variety to this dance form. One can see many overlapping steps in jazz dancing, which are common to others. These steps in Jazz dance that mimic other forms are the ball change, the pivot step, the toe rise, the pirouettes, the jazz walk etc. Jazz dance is basically an energetic form that is equally graceful like other dances. This type of dance can also incorporate various styles. Folk Dance: Folk dances are always performed in groups at social events. This does not mean the dancers need to be professionally trained. A folk dance can be attempted by all types of common folk. Every country and region has its own unique style of folk dance. There are various forms of folk dances one can see all over the world. From the energetic Indian folk dances to the Scottish country dances, they have their own beauty and charm. Modern Dance: Modern dance involves the use of many dance steps that are unusual and often interpret a dancer's emotions and mood. The dancer in this case typically performs on bare feet. In Modern dance, it's not only the choreography that speaks about the emotions to be conveyed. The lighting, costumes and props are used with great creativity to arrange interesting and unusual dance sequences.

  • Is a Genre of Dance Performance That Developed During the Mid-Twentieth
    Contemporary Dance Dance 3-4 -Is a genre of dance performance that developed during the mid-twentieth century - Has grown to become one of the dominant genres for formally trained dancers throughout the world, with particularly strong popularity in the U.S. and Europe. -Although originally informed by and borrowing from classical, modern, and jazz styles, it has since come to incorporate elements from many styles of dance. Due to its technical similarities, it is often perceived to be closely related to modern dance, ballet, and other classical concert dance styles. -It also employs contract-release, floor work, fall and recovery, and improvisation characteristics of modern dance. -Involves exploration of unpredictable changes in rhythm, speed, and direction. -Sometimes incorporates elements of non-western dance cultures, such as elements from African dance including bent knees, or movements from the Japanese contemporary dance, Butoh. -Contemporary dance draws on both classical ballet and modern dance -Merce Cunningham is considered to be the first choreographer to "develop an independent attitude towards modern dance" and defy the ideas that were established by it. -Cunningham formed the Merce Cunningham Dance Company in 1953 and went on to create more than one hundred and fifty works for the company, many of which have been performed internationally by ballet and modern dance companies. -There is usually a choreographer who makes the creative decisions and decides whether the piece is an abstract or a narrative one. -Choreography is determined based on its relation to the music or sounds that is danced to. .

This dance, now known as “on 2” mambo, or salsa, for its relationship to the clave, is the first uniquely North American form of vernacular Latino dance on the East Coast. This paper traces the New York mambo’s develop- ment from its beginnings at the Palladium Ballroom through the salsa and hustle years and up to the present time. The current period is characterized by increasing growth, commercialization, codification, and a blending with other modern, urban dance genres such as hip-hop.

  • 'What Ever Happened to Breakdancing?'
    'What ever happened to breakdancing?' Transnational h-hoy/b-girl networks, underground video magazines and imagined affinities. Mary Fogarty Submitted in partial fulfillment Of the requirements for the degree of Interdisciplinary MA in Popular Culture Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario © November 2006 For my sister, Pauline 111 Acknowledgements The Canada Graduate Scholarship (SSHRC) enabled me to focus full-time on my studies. I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to my committee members: Andy Bennett, Hans A. Skott-Myhre, Nick Baxter-Moore and Will Straw. These scholars have shaped my ideas about this project in crucial ways. I am indebted to Michael Zryd and Francois Lukawecki for their unwavering kindness, encouragement and wisdom over many years. Steve Russell patiently began to teach me basic rules ofgrammar. Barry Grant and Eric Liu provided comments about earlier chapter drafts. Simon Frith, Raquel Rivera, Anthony Kwame Harrison, Kwande Kefentse and John Hunting offered influential suggestions and encouragement in correspondence. Mike Ripmeester, Sarah Matheson, Jeannette Sloniowski, Scott Henderson, Jim Leach, Christie Milliken, David Butz and Dale Bradley also contributed helpful insights in either lectures or conversations. AJ Fashbaugh supplied the soul food and music that kept my body and mind nourished last year. If AJ brought the knowledge then Matt Masters brought the truth. (What a powerful triangle, indeed!) I was exceptionally fortunate to have such noteworthy fellow graduate students. Cole Lewis (my summer writing partner who kept me accountable), Zorianna Zurba, Jana Tomcko, Nylda Gallardo-Lopez, Seth Mulvey and Pauline Fogarty each lent an ear on numerous much needed occasions as I worked through my ideas out loud.

  • 30Th November 2019 Dance Course in Dresden – Ballroom Dance of the 19Th Century
    update 29.08.2019 27th November – 30th November 2019 Dance Course in Dresden – Ballroom dance of the 19th century This year’s focus will be on exclusive quadrilles, original couple dances of the 19th century & the Russian March - in memory of Russia Dances to be taught Bohemian Polka Quadrilles (from "The Welcome Guest", New York, 1863) The original Polka Quadrille will be danced with French and Bohemian Polka steps to the beautiful Bohemian polka music. It consists of the five quadrille figures "Serious Family Polka", "Baden Polka", "Zingara Polka", "Bohemian Polka" and "Little Jeanette Polka" with funny quadrille tours and the polka waltz. This quadrille dance - in the arrangement of 4 couples “en carré” - is a new reconstruction by Sylvia from the year 2019 and will be revived for the first time in Dresden. The original polka melodies were recorded in the usual way by our pianist Stephan Müller. Polacca Waltz Quadrille "White Dove" - symbol of peace (Arrangement by Sylvia Hartung based on original sources from 1866-1896) The framing polacca part of the quadrille consists of alternating polonaise figures according to original Polish sources from the Institute of Music and Dance, Poland and a constant glide waltz step sequence according to the step descriptions of Margitta Roséri (Leipzig 1896) and Harvey (New York, 1889). In order to let the dancer feel the difference between the glide waltz and the popular 6-step waltz, a varying waltz figure with subsequent 6-step waltz round dance (valse à trois temps) was incorporated throughout the waltz section. This created a constantly recurring system for the four quadrille figures.
