  • 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.

  • How Music Moved: the Genesis of Genres in Urban Centers
    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 2013 Volume II: Immigration and Migration and the Making of a Modern American City How Music Moved: The Genesis of Genres in Urban Centers Curriculum Unit 13.02.11 by Nathan Trier Unit Objective My curriculum unit, "How Music Moved: The Genesis of Genre in Urban Centers," examines how music has served as a catalyst for interactions between social groups, ranging from creative exploration and new styles of music to conflict and violence, in the northern Midwest, California, and New York City. This will be part of the curriculum for High School in the Community's Music in America class. Music in America examines the history of popular music in America from the 1900's to today (focusing on the National Association for Music Education's National Standard #9: Understanding music in relation to history and culture.) Previously when I taught this class, I focused on the interaction of African-Americans and the dominant white culture. With this YNHTI unit, I will expand my class to include much more information on Latino music and cultural influences and also focus more on class, addressing the notion of migrants and immigrants seeking an entry-point to middle-class stability and also their music reflected those aspirations. Since High School in the Community's curriculum centers around law and social justice, this unit will create a place for students to examine music from the perspectives of class, ethnicity, region, and history. My unit will discuss the "home cities" of different music genres: • Chicago: Chicago blues • Los Angeles: West-Coast Swing • New York City: Puerto Rican traditional music and hip-hop Furthermore, for each genre, students will learn about the migration and immigration patterns that served as catalysts for the new genre's emergence, focusing on (but not limited to) work and housing.

  • Swing Dancing
    Swing Dancing Richard Powers Street Swing Also known as Bugg and 4-count Hustle I am beginning with 4-count street swing because it's the easiest approach to swing dancing. The reason I start with street swing is that the timing is easy enough to let you concentrate on what's really important in swing: the swing moves, partnering, flexibility and creativity. Once you are comfortable with dancing street swing, it's an easy next step to the more widely-known six- count swing, which is the same four steps done in a slow-slow-quick-quick timing. Then triple six-count swing completes the family. Street swing is an American vernacular dance, meaning grass roots, from the people, instead of from professional dance masters. It's occasionally seen across the U.S. and Europe, although not as frequently as six-count swing. Today, Bugg is especially popular in Sweden. The Footwork for Street Swing Take two walking steps, either forward and back, or done in place, or traveling. Then finish with a "rock step" which is another two steps, first back, then forward, in place. The timing for street swing is an even 1-2-3-4. Walk-walk-rock-step. If you’re doing the steps in place, the Lead’s steps are: 1) Take a small step with the left foot to the left side. 2) Replace weight back on the right foot. 3) Take a small rock step straight back left. 4) Replace weight forward onto the right foot. The Follow dances the mirror image to this, beginning with her right foot.
