The callers who have been active for ten or more years and are still in demand are the ones who program each of their dances so that they give something for the "hot shot" dancer; something for the "newcomer" to square dancing; and a heck of lot for the people in between who outnumber the others maybe ten to one. The dances for the in-betweens will "be a good mixture of old and traditional dances and enough of the neweir ones to keep the floor on its toes. And one thing they never are guilty of: they never deliberately try to "throw the floor". Any idiot can do that; it takes a real good caller to sense the limitations of the group and arrange or re-arrange his material accordingly.

  • The Role of Dance in Haitian Vodou Dancing, Along with Singing And
    The Role of Dance in Haitian Vodou Camille Chambers, University of Florida Dancing, along with singing and drumming, is a fundamental part of Haitian Vodou ritual ceremonies. Just as how the songs and the drums have a spiritual function and reflect a creolized heritage, dance holds a similar value in Vodou. As a religion that is kinesthetic in nature, dance is part of the physical manifestation of serving the lwa. Dance is not only an important part of Haitian Vodou but also of Haitian culture, in which there are two types of dance: secular and sacred (Dunham 1947: 15). For the purpose of this paper, the sacred dance will be addressed. Many anthropologists have studied ritual dances in the African diaspora of the Caribbean. Through the studies of dance in Haitian Vodou, the connection to spirituality and memory provided to the community through dance and music in Vodou ceremonies is evident. The community is a key element in Vodou ceremonies. Hebblethwaite argues that Vodou songs are important because they are the “living memory of a Vodou community” (2012: 2). Dance holds the same importance in preserving this “living memory.” Vodou songs educate about the lwa and the philosophy of Vodou and they signal the transitions between phases of the ceremony. Dance in Vodou also educates about the lwa and philosophy and through careful study of the different dances, one may also understand how dances change in the different phases of the ceremony. Before getting into the study of dances, the importance of drums must be addressed. Wilcken (2005) describes the drums as providing the fuel and guidance to the dance participants.

  • Katherine Mansfield Gurdjieff's Sacred Dance
    Katherine Mansfield and Gurdjieff’s Sacred Dance James Moore First published in Katherine Mansfield: In From the Margin edited by Roger Robinson Louisiana State University Press, 1994 The facts are singular enough: Katherine Mansfield, a young woman who could scarcely walk or breathe, absorbed in sacred dances that lie on the very cusp of human possibility. Some ideal of inner conciliation—neighbourly to the dancers’ purpose there— seems to have visited Katherine almost precociously. At twenty, she had written, “To weave the intricate tapestry of one’s own life, it is well to take a thread from many harmonious skeins—and to realise that there must be harmony.” i The tapestry she had achieved in the ensuing years had been a brave one: on a warp of suffering she had imposed a woof of literary success. Slowly, implacably, her body but not her spirit of search had failed her, and in her final extremity she arrived at a resolution: “Risk! Risk anything!” 2 So determined, she entered the gates of the Château du Preiuré, at Fontainbleau-Avon, on Tuesday, October 17, 1922, and there, at George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff’s Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man, she lived out her last, intense three months. There, on January 9, 1923, she died. Katherine Mansfield and Gurdjieff’s Sacred Dance. Copyright © James Moore 1994, 2006. 1 www.Gurdjieff-Biblography.com No one imagines that Mansfield’s fundamental significance lies outside her oeuvre, her individuality, and her life’s full spectrum of personal relationships; no one would claim some mystical apotheosis at Fontainebleau that overrode all that.

  • Nordic Roots Dance Kari Tauring - 2014 "Dance Is a Feature of Every Significant Occasion and Event Crucial to Tribal Existence As Part of Ritual
    Nordic Roots Dance Kari Tauring - 2014 "Dance is a feature of every significant occasion and event crucial to tribal existence as part of ritual. The first thing to emphasize is that early dance exists as a ritual element. It does not stand alone as a separate activity or profession." Joan Cass, Dancing Through History, 1993 In 1989, I began to study runes, the ancient Germanic/Nordic alphabet system. I noticed that many rune symbols in the 24 Elder Futhark (100 ACE) letters can be made with one body alone or one body and a staff and some require two persons to create. I played with the combination of these things within the context of Martial Arts. In the Younger futhark (later Iron Age), these runes were either eliminated or changed to allow one body to create 16 as a full alphabet. In 2008 I was introduced to Hafskjold Stav (Norwegian Family Tradition), a Martial Arts based on these 16 Younger Futhark shapes, sounds and meanings. In 2006 I began to study Scandinavian dance whose concepts of stav, svikt, tyngde and kraft underpinned my work with rune in Martial Arts. In 2011/2012 I undertook a study with the aid of a Legacy and Heritage grant to find out how runes are created with the body/bodies in Norwegian folk dances along with Telemark tradition bearer, Carol Sersland. Through this collaboration I realized that some runes require a "birds eye view" of a group of dances to see how they express themselves. In my personal quest to find the most ancient dances within my Norwegian heritage, I made a visit to the RFF Center (Rådet for folkemusikk og folkedans) at the University in Trondheim (2011) meeting with head of the dance department Egil Bakka and Siri Mæland, and professional dancer and choreographer, Mads Bøhle.

  • The Use of the Polish Folk Music Elements and the Fantasy Elements in the Polish Fantasy on Original Themes In
    THE USE OF THE POLISH FOLK MUSIC ELEMENTS AND THE FANTASY ELEMENTS IN THE POLISH FANTASY ON ORIGINAL THEMES IN G-SHARP MINOR FOR PIANO AND ORCHESTRA OPUS 19 BY IGNACY JAN PADEREWSKI Yun Jung Choi, B.A., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2007 APPROVED: Adam Wodnicki, Major Professor Jeffrey Snider, Minor Professor Joseph Banowetz, Committee Member Graham Phipps, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Choi, Yun Jung, The Use of the Polish Folk Music Elements and the Fantasy Elements in the Polish Fantasy on Original Themes in G-sharp Minor for Piano and Orchestra, Opus 19 by Ignacy Jan Paderewski. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2007, 105 pp., 5 tables, 65 examples, references, 97 titles. The primary purpose of this study is to address performance issues in the Polish Fantasy, Op. 19, by examining characteristics of Polish folk dances and how they are incorporated in this unique work by Paderewski. The study includes a comprehensive history of the fantasy in order to understand how Paderewski used various codified generic aspects of the solo piano fantasy, as well as those of the one-movement concerto introduced by nineteenth-century composers such as Weber and Liszt. Given that the Polish Fantasy, Op. 19, as well as most of Paderewski’s compositions, have been performed more frequently in the last twenty years, an analysis of the combination of the three characteristic aspects of the Polish Fantasy, Op.19 - Polish folk music, the generic rhetoric of a fantasy and the one- movement concerto - would aid scholars and performers alike in better understanding the composition’s engagement with various traditions and how best to make decisions about those traditions when approaching the work in a concert setting.
