  • Arthur Murray's Paper on History of Dances
    The music begins - fingers snap, bodies become restless, and feet begin to itch. It is almost impossible to listen to music and not be stirred to rhythmic movements of one kind or another. We hum, we sing, we whistle, we sway, we clap, we strum, and ultimately we find ourselves dancing. All societies, from the most primitive to the most cultural, share a common need for dance. Many feel the urge, but do not know how to express it in an open forum. Learning to respond to basic rhythms opens up a delightful new world to everyone who has ever tried it. Social dancing today is one of the most popular pastimes in the world and is enjoyed in every country by people of all ages. It is stimulating, both mentally and physically – the care and frustrations of the work day world vanishing on the dance floor. Even more, the need to dance and express oneself, through dance, goes deeper than pure enjoyment. The need is so ingrained in the human race that history itself can be traced through the study of dance. The bases of popular dance are numerous. First, social dance helps to fulfill the need for identity with communal activities. Second, it is related to courting, in which the male displays his ability to move his partner in harmony with himself. In most social dances the male role is dominant; the female that of a follower. Third, popular dancing, especially before the 20th century, was often used to celebrate such events as weddings, the harvest, or merely the end of a working day.

About these notes: These notes are intended to act as a brief vade mecum for anyone thinking of teaching swing dance. They assume that you are already an experienced and competent social dancer, and that you can lead and, ideally, follow. I writing this, I am absolutely not trying to set myself up as any kind of ‘authority’ on the subject. I have, however, been teaching Lindy Hop for about fifteen years, and Balboa, Shag, Charleston etc for about twelve. Based on this and other teaching, I have been elected to the UK’s Royal Society of Arts and the UNESCO International Council of Dance. I am, though, the first to admit that I still have a huge amount to learn about both dance and teaching. I just hope that this short document will help build the confidence of anyone who wants to give new people, and places, a change to get swing-dancing. Before you start - introspection and imagination Before you start, it may be sensible to ask yourself, honestly, what your motives are for wanting to teach in the first place. There are many possible motives, and I would not presume to say that some are better than others, but some possible motives may be addressed a better way.

  • 1-2012 NVSC News
    January 2012Volume 18 Issue 1 Shag Rag Northern Virginia Shag Club Dedicated to the Preservation of the Carolina Shag and Beach Music PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE by Dave Bushey Happy New Year! I hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday season. We all have so much to be thankful for – even those of us with sore knees, or worse. Wow ! What a great Holiday Party in Kingstowne! Very special thanks go out to the leadership of Marcia Conway, our Shagger of the Year, for organizing the event and to everyone who came early / stayed late to help out. As much fun as we had, I do believe the four Marines had better times and showed us some special moves on the dance floor! I won’t forget our circle around them and our singing of Lee Greenwood’s ‘God Bless The USA’ to them. I’m Proud To Be An American! Outgoing President Tim Farris recognized the 2011 Board of Directors and Committee Chairs, and each and every one of us should thank them personally for all of the time and the hard work that they’ve dedicated to NVSC. Did you see the recent Hello Shaggers that Vaughn Royal will be inducted into the Virginia Shaggers Hall of Fame this spring? I can’t think of a higher achievement. Nor can I think of a more deserving person. Way to Go, Vaughn! And now, it’s time to get down to some serious shagging. Your new Board is excited about the coming year, and we’ve already had numerous discussions about the Calendar of Events.
