The published article is available in Dance Chronicle, JSTOR and EBSCO. Abstract: Alicia Alonso contended that the musicality of Cuban ballet dancers contributed to a distinctive national style in their performance of European classics such as Giselle and Swan Lake. A highly developed sense of musicality distinguished Alonso’s own dancing. For the ballerina, this was more than just an element of her individual style: it was an expression of the Cuban cultural environment and a common feature among ballet dancers from the island. In addition to elucidating the physical manifestations of musicality in Alonso’s dancing, this article examines how the ballerina’s frequent references to music in connection to both her individual identity and the Cuban ballet aesthetics fit into a national discourse of self-representation that deems Cubans an exceptionally musical people.

  • Rebranding Initiative
    REBRANDING INITIATIVE Page 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. History and Summary of Issues. 2. Review of Strengths and Weaknesses. 3. Suggested Actions Organized in the Following Categories: a. Board Structure b. Administrative Structure c. Financial d. Choir Structure and Performances e. Marketing 4. Current Mission and Vision Statements Page 2 HISTORY AND SUMMARY OF ISSUES The San Antonio Choral Society began in 1964. It’s original purpose was to provide a community based choir that would be large enough to sing master works and more difficult works than most church choirs could perform. The choir drew members from all over San Antonio (mostly from church choirs) and was an instant success. SACS continued in that mode until the 1990’s when the repertoire was expanded to include more popular music. In 1996, Broadway musicals were added for a “Pops” concert. The choir continued to be managed by a group of charter members until 2013 when a large number of charter members retired from the choir. At that time Jennifer Seighman was hired to be the artistic director for the choir. Jennifer began to raise the standard in terms of music quality, performance arrangement, singer’s skills and music education. Everyone enjoyed the new challenge. In addition, in 2014 the choir was the beneficiary of sizable funds from the estate of a deceased member that continued through 2016. Those funds have now ceased leaving the choir in a quandary as to how to deal with increased costs of operations and no clearly defined revenue source. The loss of funds has caused the officers to reassess our current situation and try to project what direction is needed for the future.

  • Nightclub Two-Step (Club Two-Step, NC2S)
    Nightclub Two-Step (Club Two-Step, NC2S) Richard Powers Buddy Schwimmer developed this dance in the late 1970s and it has become widely popular among American social dancers. It is the perfect dance for easygoing, moderate-tempo music, and provides a welcome break between fast dances. It can be danced in a wide range of tempos, from 72 to 92 beats per minute, with 82 bpm as its sweet spot. Buddy Schwimmer originally taught Nightclub Two-Step as rock-step first, danced in quick-quick-slow timing. Today dancers accept both slow-quick-quick or quick-quick-slow timings, depending on what the music indicates. We teach it in the slow-quick-quick timing for two reasons. 1) This timing feels more musical, especially for the Follow role, letting her dance the strongest movements at the strongest moment in the music, on count 1. When the music goes, the Follow goes, instead of being delayed by a rock step. 2) This timing is more commonly done in the Bay Area, and we want our students here to dance comfortably with most local dancers. But we don't dismiss the other timing. They're both good. You'll probably want to adopt the timing done by most dancers in your area. The Basic Step Take a relaxed closed dance position. Count 1 The Lead takes a slow step to the left side with his left foot as the Follow steps side right. 2 The Lead rocks his right foot behind his left heel, taking weight on the ball of his right foot, as the Follow rocks back left.

  • Musicians Column—Aspects of Musicality
    Musicians Column—Aspects of Musicality by Martha Edwards In this article, I’m going to talk about a simple thing that you can do to make you, your band mates, and your dance community fall in love with the music that you make. It’s called phrasing. Yup, phrasing. Musical phrasing is a lot like verbal phrasing. Sentences start somewhere and end somewhere, just like music. Sometimes they start soft, and grow and grow until they END! SOMETIMES they start big and taper off at the end. Sometimes they grow and get BIG and then taper off at the end. But a lot of people never notice that music does the same thing, that it comes from somewhere and goes somewhere. When you help it do that, you’re really sending a musical experience to your audience. Otherwise, you’re just typing. What do I mean by typing? I mean that, if all you do is play the notes, one after another, at the same intensity from beginning to end, you could play the notes perfectly, but your playing would be boring. You wouldn’t be shaping the phrase, you would just be sending out a kind of telegraph message with no emotion attached. I think it happens because playing music is hard, and it’s a big challenge just to be able to play the notes of a tune at all. When you finally get the notes of a tune, one after another, it’s a kind of victory. But don’t stop with just the notes. Learn to play musically! photo of Miranda Arana, Jonathan Jensen and Martha Edwards (courtesy Childgrove Country Dancers, St.

    Improving the ECD Open Band Experience by Robert Reichert, Asheville, NC op quiz: Why is it easier to put together a successful practice time, open band for a contra dance, than an open band play new tunes forP an English country dance? Because contra dances are at dance tempo not danced to specific tunes — unlike English country with unfamiliar dance. In my opinion, contra dance musicians in an open musicians, is band play the standard contra repertoire known to all the not limited musicians; consequently, a contra open band has only to to this recent come together as an ensemble, without the complexity of experience, and motivated me to write this article. learning new contra tunes. In an open band, familiarity I attended a dance week in Kentucky a few years ago, and with the tunes matters a lot to amateur musicians of the same thing happened at the English open-mic, open various skills who have never played together. band. The open-mic callers were unaware of the difficulties for the musicians of both learning new tunes and playing I recently attended a dance camp that included an evening with unfamiliar musicians.

That is, the callers and the band members from over twnety musicians to just five.
