  • 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.

But what set this year’s production apart was the plethora of young talent that took the stage. Developing ballerinas discovered their artistry with true grace and made each part their own with confidence, far beyond their years. A perfect example of this? The lissome Brianna Jimenez as Clara, who brought the role to life with fervent passion, reminiscent of a simpler time. Beginning in Act I at the Stahlbaum holiday party, Jimenez’s sculpted legs and arches punctuated every tour jeté and arabesque with pristine energy. She entertained her friends with subtle authority and yearned for her precious nutcracker with childlike innocence. It was exciting watching her grow into the performance. Clara’s precocious brother, Fritz, danced by the petite Sugar Plum Diana Atoian exploded onto the stage in a series of magnificent split jumps. Lara Caraiani, was the perfect counterpart, dancing with grace and All photos courtesy of Erik Muller. accuracy shown in a lovely set of fouetté turns.

  • Urban Street Dance Department
    Urban Street Dance Department Divisions and Competition Rules Break Dance Division Urban Street Dance Division Implemented by the WADF Managing Committee January 2020 Artistic Dance Departments, Divisions and Competition Rules WADF Managing Committee Nils-Håkan Carlzon President Irina Shmalko Stuart Saunders Guido de Smet Senior Vice President Executive Secretary Vice President Marian Šulc Gordana Orescanin Roman Filus Vice President Vice President Vice President Page 2 Index Artistic Dance Departments, Divisions and Competition Rules Urban Street Dance Department Section G-2 Urban Street Dance Division Urban Street Dance Competitions Urban Street Urban Street Dance is a broad category that includes a variety of urban styles. The older dance styles that were created in the 1970s include up-rock, breaking, and the funk styles. At the same time breaking was developing in New York, other styles were being created in California. Several street dance styles created in California in the 1970s such as roboting, bopping, hitting, locking, bustin', popping, electric boogaloo, strutting, sac-ing, and dime-stopping. It is historically inaccurate to say that the funk styles were always considered hip-hop. "Hip-Hop Dance" became an umbrella term encompassing all of these styles. Tempo of the Music: Tempo: 27 - 28 bars per minute (108 - 112 beats per minute) Characteristics and Movement: Different new dance styles, such as Quick Popping Crew, Asian style, African style, Hype Dance, New-Jack-Swing, Popping & Locking, Jamming, etc., adding creative elements such as stops, jokes, flashes, swift movements, etc. Some Electric and Break movements can be performed but should not dominate. Floor figures are very popular but should not dominate the performance.

  • Italian-Australian Musicians, ‘Argentino’ Tango Bands and the Australian Tango Band Era
    2011 © John Whiteoak, Context 35/36 (2010/2011): 93–110. Italian-Australian Musicians, ‘Argentino’ Tango Bands and the Australian Tango Band Era John Whiteoak For more than two decades from the commencement of Italian mass migration to Australia post-World War II, Italian-Australian affinity with Hispanic music was dynamically expressed through the immense popularity of Latin-American inflected dance music within the Italian communities, and the formation of numerous ‘Italian-Latin’ bands with names like Duo Moreno, El Bajon, El Combo Tropicale, Estrellita, Mambo, Los Amigos, Los Muchachos, Mokambo, Sombrero, Tequila and so forth. For venue proprietors wanting to offer live ‘Latin- American’ music, the obvious choice was to hire an Italian band. Even today, if one attends an Italian community gala night or club dinner-dance, the first or second dance number is likely to be a cha-cha-cha, mambo, tango, or else a Latinised Italian hit song played and sung in a way that is unmistakably Italian-Latin—to a packed dance floor. This article is the fifteenth in a series of publications relating to a major monograph project, The Tango Touch: ‘Latin’ and ‘Continental’ Influences on Music and Dance before Australian ‘Multiculturalism.’1 The present article explains how the Italian affinity for Hispanic music was first manifested in Australian popular culture in the form of Italian-led ‘Argentino tango,’ ‘gaucho-tango,’ ‘Gypsy-tango,’ ‘rumba,’ ‘cosmopolitan’ or ‘all-nations’ bands, and through individual talented and entrepreneurial Italian-Australians who were noted for their expertise in Hispanic and related musics. It describes how a real or perceived Italian affinity with Hispanic and other so-called ‘tango band music’ opened a gateway to professional opportunity for various Italian-Australians, piano accordionists in particular.
