  • Kickish: the Language of Line Dance
    ILDSF KICKISH: THE LANGUAGE OF LINE DANCE A VOCABULARY AND FORMAT FOR STANDARDIZED LINE DANCE STEP SHEETS 4256 N. SVENSK LANE EAGAN, MN 55123 A VOCABULARY FOR LINE DANCERS Let's say you are a line dancer who is writing or reading line dance choreography. A. You have choreographed the perfect dance. It fits the music and your personality. It is interesting, creative, and a sure-fire hit. Now you want to write a clear description of the dance, which we call a step sheet. B. Perhaps English is not your native language, and you want to write a step sheet in English that makes sense to English-speaking people, without errors from computer-based translations. C. Perhaps you wonder why some step sheets are easier to read than others. You notice one portion of a step sheet is easy to read, while another portion of the same step sheet is unclear. Why does that happen? In this article we examine a few aspects of step sheets that affect readers' ability to understand what is written, and we will describe a small line dance language (vocabulary and format) that can be used for nearly all line dances ever written (so far). After looking over a list of language names like Spanish, Danish, Polish, Elvish, etc., and bearing in mind that this language is used extensively in the line dance archive at the Kickit website, we have decided to call this language Kickish: The Language of Line Dance. WHAT MAKES A STEP SH EET READABLE? Just as a sculpture, river, or person cannot be fully described in text, a step sheet can never fully describe a dance.

  • Bringing Magic Into Interpretation
    Education Bringing Magic Into Interpretation What is an Interpreter? William Penn Mott, Jr I am constantly being asked, "what is an inter­ Director, National preter?" To get a definition, I consulted the dic­ Park Service tionary which defines an interpreter as, "One that interprets." That's passing the buck. I then looked up the word interpret and found it defined as, "To explain or tell the meaning of; present in understandable terms." I can agree that an inter­ preter should be able to explain or tell the mean­ ing of the subject under discussion and do so in Interpretation understandable terms, but I expect a great deal more from our interpreters. First, they should be professionally trained, en­ thusiastic, creative, flexible, and be able to com­ municate to people at all age levels. Secondly, I believe that a good interpreter should become very knowledgeable about a particular sub­ ject around which he or she can create a unique program that is his or hers alone, and which reflects that person's personality. Thirdly, I want our interpreters to use whatever special talents they may possess in the field of music, drama, puppetry, magic, dance, etc., to en­ rich and create new and exciting interpretive programs. Interpretation has been, and must always be, the hallmark of the National Park Service. An interpreter can be an entertainer, but of greater importance is his or her ability to be an educator utilizing the captivating environment of a national park so as to stimulate interest in, and respect for, the wonders of nature and the interest­ ing and exciting heritage of this country.
