  • Figure Skating and the Anthropology of Dance: the Case of Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin
    Andrée Grau: Figure Skating and the Anthropology of Dance: The Case of Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin Figure Skating and the Anthropology of Dance: The Case of Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin Andrée Grau Roehampton University, [email protected] Abstract In this paper, I address a number of topics relevant to anthropology generally and to the anthropology of dance specifically. I consider issues of classification and taxonomies; of interculturalism and transnationalism; of representation, exoticisation and internalised racism. I examine dance, hierarchies and discrimination, and discuss boundaries between dance and non-dance. For example, dance scholars, with a few exceptions, rarely write about figure skating, although it is cognate to Western theatre dance genres, especially ballet. Figure skating is sport, even in its ice dancing incarnation, whilst dance is art even in its ballet competition incarnations. I use as a case study the Russian skaters Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin, who choreographed an ‘Australian Aboriginal Dance’ for their original routine for the 2010 European skating championships and Olympics. This offended Aboriginal elders who made a complaint to the Russian ambassador. I examine the controversy around the routine, how it was reported in the press and how the audience responded in Internet forums, focusing especially on the way Australian Aborigines con- tinue to be portrayed as stone age in popular media. KEY WORDS: aesthetics, Australian Aborigines, ballet, Internet forums, dance, ice ska- ting, taxonomies Introduction One of the premises of the anthropology of dance, is that the term ‘dance’ is problematic as it carries preconceptions of what this activity engages with, which is rooted into a Western way of understanding the body in space and time, situating it in a particular relationship to a soundscape.

  • A Brief History of Ice Dancing
    A Brief History of Ice Dancing By Cheryl Elton of www.IceDancers.com The ice dancing that you see on television today is much different from its ballroom roots. The set pattern ice dances, which originated from skaters trying to replicate ballroom dances on the ice, still form the foundation of the sport, yet were eliminated from all International Skating Union (ISU) competitions after the 2010 season. The 2010 World Figure Skating Championships was the last event to include a compulsory (pattern) dance – the Golden Waltz. People first experimented with dancing on ice in the mid-1800s. Skaters tried to follow the steps of ballroom dancing – thus both feet were on the ice most of the time. Jackson Haines, an American ballet dancer and figure skater, used his ballet training to create graceful programs and introduced the concept of skating to accompanying music. For these and other reasons, he is commonly referred to as ‘the father of modern figure skating.’ Haines danced on ice at an exhibition in Vienna in 1865, and a waltz bearing his name became popular in the 1880s. The Jackson Haines Waltz was originally a four-step repeating pattern of two steps forward and two steps backward in which the skater kept both feet on the ice throughout. In the late nineteenth century, Vienna was the dancing capital of Europe, and waltzing was the rage, both on and off the ice. A three-step waltz skated in Paris in the 1890s might be the direct predecessor of modern ice dancing, featuring the speed and flowing edges that we see today.

My aim is to ensure that every child has the opportunity to have a go at gymnastics, and learn the basic fundamental movements of my favourite sport in a fun, safe and structured environment. During my gymnastics career, the support from my parents was essential. They were my taxi service to and from gym, my cooks, a shoulder to cry on after a bad day and the people I wanted to celebrate with when I learnt something new. I would like to thank you for taking the time to get your children into gymnastics and supporting them throughout their journey with us. As you will see in this pack, my mum has given you some of her thoughts and tips from one parent to another as you help your child progress through the Beth Tweddle Gym Stars programme. I wish you and your child a happy and successful experience with us. About Beth Tweddle Beth was a lively and energetic 7 year old when she was entered into a gymnastics programme at her local club, Crewe and Nantwich, where her talent for the sport was recognised by her coaches. After competing at her first British Championships she moved to train at the City of Liverpool Gymnastics Club at the age of 12 where she trained under the watchful eye of her personal coach, Amanda Reddin. Her biggest achievements include becoming World Bars Champion in Aarhus in 2006 and again in Rotterdam in 2010, European Bars and Floor Champion in 2009 and 2010, European Bars Champion in 2006 and 2011 and World Floor Champion in front of a home crowd at the O2 arena in London, 2009.
