White Girl/Red Dress

White Girl/Red Dress White Girl / Red Dress I. Color I am a white girl in a red dress. Sometimes I wear a black dress, but I am still a white girl. The Church is full of Latinos, especially downstairs. Downstairs the floor is gray vinyl (upstairs it is old hardwood), and they are playing cumbia (upstairs they are playing reggaeton and hip-hop after the salsa lesson). It is too loud for English or Spanish. I wait on a metal stool for a man to ask me to dance. First a forty-ish white man touches my arm from behind. We dance and I conclude the following information: 1. He has taken many salsa lessons. 2. It does not matter to him that the music is not salsa. 3. He knows exactly what patterns he wants me to perform. Then a young Indian man appears with a big smile. We dance and I conclude the following information: 1. He has taken a few salsa lessons. 2. He would like to communicate, through dance, that he is available for sex. 3. He should be upstairs. After this I wait a little longer. Then a middle-aged Latino man with a white button-down shirt and a large brown face extends his hand. We dance for a long time. Some people experience a sensory phenomenon called synesthesia. This means that they perceive with several, or different senses what most of us perceive with only one. For example, one such person might see colors while listening to music, or taste softness. I have never experienced synesthesia. While I am dancing, I don't see anything. I suppose the white shirt, the gray floor, the black shoes are still there, but I don’t know for sure. I just know that either a) I am not in good hands or b) I am happy. A dancer has no language, position, or family context. This is not racial commentary. It is social commentary. On the dance floor we are just bodies. II. The Salsa-Cumbia Conundrum In my years of dancing in clubs and studios I have noticed a paradox: Part 1. Potential dancers who wish to learn Latin dances may enroll in rumba, cha-cha, and samba classes at ballroom studios. These studios now often have salsa classes as well, as do many clubs where salsa gets played. They used to tell us at the studio, if we had students who lacked the coordination to jump into salsa, to teach them rumba first. But if you teach at a club I guess you just keep going. Part 2. At the Church, after the salsa lesson, there is no salsa. Clubs that play Latin dance music tend to play cumbia, merengue, and bachata at least as much as salsa, and in this case more, to a degree of infinity. Forget about rumba. But in the various studios where I studied and danced, I never came across a single cumbia lesson, or the merest intimation of the existence of slow-rocking bachata. Incidentally, my automatic spell-check doesn’t even recognize these terms (though it lets pass “salsa” and “rumba”), underlining them with its tiny furious red zigzag to say, “fix this! this isn’t your language!” Whence come these cumbia dancers, who teaches bachata, and what are all those hopeful students doing with their elementary salsa and their clumsy rumba? That is the curiosity of these parts. I live in Colorado now but it was the same in Los Angeles, where I learned to dance. On the one side, trickling up from the south, come these cumbia people who pack together on the vinyl floor and go slow, quick, quick in a rocking clockwise spiral. On the other side, converging from the east and the north, come the hopeful non-dancers trying to become dancers. They want to speak the dance language but the slot patterns of salsa (quick, quick, slow) do not match and that means the cumbia dancers and the salsa novices are confused by each other. That is why it is most interesting to be a white girl on the Latino floor. Because both parties—the salsa novices, who can see from my skin I am not a cumbia native, and the cumbia natives, who can see from my shoes that I am not one of the novices—think maybe I can understand them. The other interesting thing is, we are all displaced here. This is not Cumbia Land, or Salsa Land. Maybe these people—now I'm just imagining, mind you, because dancers don't know anything about each other except whether they are good dancers or not— maybe these people can't speak to each other in the daytime, either. Maybe Man #1 is a middle-management guy from just-outside-of-Boston who came here because the mountains are pretty and it's sort of affordable to live in Denver, and Man #2 is a grad student in engineering whose family moved here from Mumbai and Man #3 drives a Caterpillar on a construction site and crossed a lot of desert before he got to these mountains. They might never talk to each other. I would never talk to them. Not for any principle, but for awkwardness, or lack of circumstance. Resolution: dances are not like languages. Maybe the steps could be considered grammar but you can throw out the steps, and the dance is still there, and they all happen the same way. The patterns are not overlaid on top of music. The patterns emerge from the dancers themselves. The man creates the space for the shape of the dance and the woman fills the shape. Or I guess if you prefer, it could be the other way, or two women, or two men, but that doesn't change anything in terms of the dance. III. Conclusion I did say, by way of apology for future missteps, "I don't know this dance, I've only learned salsa." And he, that is, Man #3, said, "You should teach me, I always thought salsa was nice." That happened sometime in the first song. When my feet couldn't bear my own weight any longer, I also said, "thank you very much for the dance." .

  • 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.

This paper traces the New York mambo’s develop- ment from its beginnings at the Palladium Ballroom through the salsa and hustle years and up to the present time.

  • Digital Archiving on Chilean Music and Musicians, Part 2 by Eileen Karmy
    H-LatAm Digital Archiving on Chilean Music and Musicians, Part 2 by Eileen Karmy Blog Post published by Gretchen Pierce on Sunday, April 26, 2020 We continue our digital mini-series with the second of two posts about online resources for Chilean music. If you missed the first one, click here. Eileen Karmy is a music scholar interested in music politics, labor history, and archival research. She completed her PhD in Music at the University of Glasgow in 2019 with a thesis on the development of musicians’ unions in Chile. She has researched on popular music in Chile, especially cumbia, tango, and Nueva Canción. She regularly disseminates her research through articles, blog posts, films, and digital repositories. She created the digital archive of musicians’ organizations in Valparaíso (memoriamusicalvalpo.cl) in 2015. She has published books and journal articles on Chilean New Song, tango orchestras, tropical music, musicians’ working conditions, and the social history of musicians’ organizations in Chile. These include the book ¡Hagan un trencito! Siguiendo los pasos de la memoria cumbianchera en Chile (1949-1989), co-authored with Ardito, Mardones, and Vargas (2016), and her article “Musical Mutualism in Valparaiso during the Rise of the Labor Movement (1893–1931),” Popular Music and Society, 40, no. 5, 2017. Digital Archiving on Chilean Music and Musicians, Part 2 In this post, I share a list of digital sources that hold relevant material and specific information about music and musicians in Chile that might be useful for scholars interested in researching Chilean music and culture in general. While I did not use these sites for my research on musicians’ unions I am familiar with them because they proved useful in my previous studies of Chilean popular music history.

It argues that, in the context of the flamenco studio, women dancers renegotiate authenticity and hybridity against the backdrop of an embodied “exot- ic” passion.

  • Transnational Trajectories of Colombian Cumbia
    SPRING 2020 TRANSNATIONAL TRAJECTORIES OF COLOMBIAN CUMBIA Transnational Trajectories of Colombian Cumbia Dr. Lea Ramsdell* Abstract: During 19th and 20th century Latin America, mestizaje, or cultural mixing, prevailed as the source of national identity. Through language, dance, and music, indigenous populations and ethnic groups distinguished themselves from European colonizers. Columbian cumbia, a Latin American folk genre of music and dance, was one such form of cultural expression. Finding its roots in Afro-descendant communities in the 19th century, cumbia’s use of indigenous instruments and catchy rhythm set it apart from other genres. Each village added their own spin to the genre, leaving a wake of individualized ballads, untouched by the music industry. However, cumbia’s influence isn’t isolated to South America. It eventually sauntered into Mexico, crossed the Rio Grande, and soon became a staple in dance halls across the United States. Today, mobile cumbia DJ’s, known as sonideros, broadcast over the internet and radio. By playing cumbia from across the region and sending well-wishes into the microphone, sonideros act as bridges between immigrants and their native communities. Colombian cumbia thus connected and defined a diverse array of national identities as it traveled across the Western hemisphere. Keywords: Latin America, dance, folk, music, cultural exchange, Colombia What interests me as a Latin Americanist are the grassroots modes of expression in marginalized communities that have been simultaneously disdained and embraced by dominant sectors in their quest for a unique national identity. In Latin America, this tension has played out time and again throughout history, beginning with the newly independent republics in the 19th century that sought to carve a national identity for themselves that would set them apart – though not too far apart – from the European colonizers.
