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.

  • Dance Ensemble Synchronisation: Movement Timing Between Two Or More People
    Dance Ensemble Synchronisation: Movement Timing between two or more People by Juliane Jacqueline Honisch A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Psychology The University of Birmingham December 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract Dancers’ need to be coordinated in an ensemble poses multisensory challenges. The present thesis focuses on temporal aspects of visually mediated interpersonal synchronisation in dance, emphasising feedback control, using an information processing perspective. The thesis firstly reviews previous literature on psychological factors in the coordination of dance (Chapter 1). Measurement methods and analyses to examine timing of dancers’ interpersonal synchronisation are then introduced (Chapter 2). In the first two experimental chapters (Chapters 3, 4) a lead-follower paradigm is developed to quantify the temporal linkage between two or more individuals. Performer interdependence was estimated using mean, variance and serial correlation measures. Chapter 3 evaluates multimodal (auditory and visual sources) and Chapter 4 unimodal (two visual sources) on individuals’ synchronisation performances. In Chapter 5, dancers’ interpersonal synchronisation and the effect of visual and sensorimotor familiarity were investigated.

  • 3-5 Rhythm and Dance 1
    T andalay Fitness News Grades 3-5 Rhythm, Dance, and Cultural Dance GET UP AND DANCE! All kinds of physical activities work your muscles, but not all activities are as much FUN as DANCING! That’s right -- not only is dancing fun, it’s also great exercise! So stand up, do a few simple stretches, and get ready to learn some new moves! Dancing will help you strengthen your muscles, and can also build endurance -- all you have to do is have fun just a little bit longer each day! Dancing is about moving your body. Some kinds of dancing you make up as you go along. Some kinds of dance are done in a specific way, with special steps and a certain type of music. Once you learn the steps, it can be a lot of fun to do these dances alone or with a group of people. Folk Dance: Folk dances are group dances that have developed over many many years in a certain country or area. They are usually danced to special music, and everyone does the same steps at the same time. Folk dances can be done as a performance for people to watch, but they really started as a way for everyone to celebrate together at parties and events. Some examples of folk dances are: clogging, Irish dance, square dance, sword dance, and folklorico. Line Dance: Line dances are dances where everyone stands in one or more lines, and does the same steps at the same time. Sometimes all the dancers face the same direction.

You may be curious about starting or resuscitating social music and dance culture in your area. Read this to gain some context about different types of square dancing, bits of history, and some ideas for it’s future. The main purpose of the book is to show basic figures, calling techniques, and dance event organizing tips to begin or further your journey as a caller. You may not be particularly interested in calling, you might just want to play dance music or dance more regularly. The hard truth is that if you want trad squares in your area, with few ex- ceptions, someone will have to learn to call. There are few active callers and even fewer surviving or revival square dances out there.
