  • The Miseducation of Hip-Hop Dance: Authenticity, and the Commodification of Cultural Identities
    The Miseducation of Hip-Hop dance: Authenticity, and the commodification of cultural identities. E. Moncell Durden., Assistant Professor of Practice University of Southern California Glorya Kaufman School of Dance Introduction Hip-hop dance has become one of the most popular forms of dance expression in the world. The explosion of hip-hop movement and culture in the 1980s provided unprecedented opportunities to inner-city youth to gain a different access to the “American” dream; some companies saw the value in using this new art form to market their products for commercial and consumer growth. This explosion also aided in an early downfall of hip-hop’s first dance form, breaking. The form would rise again a decade later with a vengeance, bringing older breakers out of retirement and pushing new generations to develop the technical acuity to extraordinary levels of artistic corporeal genius. We will begin with hip-hop’s arduous beginnings. Born and raised on the sidewalks and playgrounds of New York’s asphalt jungle, this youthful energy that became known as hip-hop emerged from aspects of cultural expressions that survived political abandonment, economic struggles, environmental turmoil and gang activity. These living conditions can be attributed to high unemployment, exceptionally organized drug distribution, corrupt police departments, a failed fire department response system, and Robert Moses’ building of the Cross-Bronx Expressway, which caused middle and upper-class residents to migrate North. The South Bronx lost 600,000 jobs and displaced more than 5,000 families. Between 1973 and 1977, and more than 30,000 fires were set in the South Bronx, which gave rise to the phrase “The Bronx is Burning.” This marginalized the black and Latino communities and left the youth feeling unrepresented, and hip-hop gave restless inner-city kids a voice.

  • Social Media Analytics for Youtube Comments: Potential and Limitations1 Mike Thelwall
    Social Media Analytics for YouTube Comments: Potential and Limitations1 Mike Thelwall School of Mathematics and Computing, University of Wolverhampton, UK The need to elicit public opinion about predefined topics is widespread in the social sciences, government and business. Traditional survey-based methods are being partly replaced by social media data mining but their potential and limitations are poorly understood. This article investigates this issue by introducing and critically evaluating a systematic social media analytics strategy to gain insights about a topic from YouTube. The results of an investigation into sets of dance style videos show that it is possible to identify plausible patterns of subtopic difference, gender and sentiment. The analysis also points to the generic limitations of social media analytics that derive from their fundamentally exploratory multi-method nature. Keywords: social media analytics; YouTube comments; opinion mining; gender; sentiment; issues Introduction Questionnaires, interviews and focus groups are standard social science and market research methods for eliciting opinions from the public, service users or other specific groups. In industry, mining social media for opinions expressed in public seems to be standard practice with commercial social media analytics software suites that include an eclectic mix of data mining tools (e.g., Fan & Gordon, 2014). Within academia, there is also a drive to generate effective methods to mine the social web (Stieglitz, Dang-Xuan, Bruns, & Neuberger, 2014). From a research methods perspective, there is a need to investigate the generic limitations of new methodological approaches. Many existing social research techniques have been adapted for the web, such as content analysis (Henrich & Holmes, 2011), ethnography (Hine, 2000), surveys (Crick, 2012; Harrison, Wilding, Bowman, Fuller, Nicholls, et al.

  • What Is Ottawa Valley Step Dancing? This Is a Canadian Dance Form That Is Found Predominantly in Ontario, Canada
    ~Julie Fitzgerald ~ Online Step Dance Lessons Everything You Need to Know About Ottawa-Valley Step Dancing! What is Ottawa Valley Step Dancing? This is a Canadian dance form that is found predominantly in Ontario, Canada. Many decades ago, lumberjacks would finish their work with a night of music and dancing. Since many of these workers were immigrants from Europe, they brought with them their traditional dance styles. These styles are mixed with French-Canadian and tap dancing to create a unique style now known as Ottawa Valley Step Dance. For those who have never heard of or seen this style of dance, it is best described as a mix of Irish and tap dancing. It is an entertaining, aggressive dance style where your feet lift quite high off the floor, and your arms are not restricted to only being at the side. Most commonly, steps are danced to a clog, jig, or reel. However, you can step dance to almost any song you want! Please see the article http://www.fiddle.on.ca/fiddle/valley.htm for a detailed history of Ottawa Valley Step Dancing. What are the different dances within Ottawa-Valley step dancing? The most popular dances are the Waltz Clog, the Clog, the Jig, and the Reel. The waltz clog is in ¾ time; the clog in 4/4 time; the jig in 6/8 time; and the reel in 4/4 time. Generally a full dance routine combines several of these dances together, starting with the slowest speed, and gradually increasing in tempo. Therefore, a full routine would start with a clog or a waltz clog, then a jig, and ends with a reel.

    u Tap dance is enjoyed by people throughout the global community. u This dance style is seen on film and on the live stage. u It became so popular that it earned its own category in the dance world. u But popularity aside, understanding its history will provide insight into the multifaceted experiences of Africans in the Diaspora. u No one woke up one day, put taps on their shoes and began to tap dance. u Tap dance as a genre of dance took centuries to evolve. u The events that led to this dance style began in 1739. u Prior to 1739 drumming in African American slave communities had diverse uses. u Obviously, drumming was used for dancing. u But it had other very significant purposes as well. u Drumming was used for communication. u Different drum rhythms had distinct meanings. u Inquiries, comments, and news of coming events were communicated with drum rhythms and were responded to with specific drum rhythms. u Invitations to broom jumping weddings, news of deaths, and clandestine plans for escape, were all conveyed through drum rhythms. u In 1739 things changed. u The Stono Rebellion took place on September 9, 1739. u It occurred near the Stono River in South Carolina. u The rebellion was organized by a slave named Cato. u Therefore, the Stono Rebellion is sometimes referred to as the Cato Rebellion, or the Cato Insurrection. u A large group of slaves marched down the street drumming to summon other slaves to join the group. u The group began with 20 slaves and grew to over 100.

From the slave quarters on plantations to Hollywood’s silver screen, the development of tap dance mirrors the story of American history. Tap dance must be preserved because of its cultural significance in American history; likewise, it is imperative for dancers to understand its development in order to appreciate the art and for today’s artists to continue the growth and presence of tap dance in America.

URBAN DANCE or STREET DANCING, as we know it today involves Locking, Popping, Breaking, street style jazz and other forms of dance that developed out of urban culture rooted in American cities. It is deeply connected to Hip-Hop music and has become accepted as a legitimate art form seen across the world on television, videos and on theatrical stages as well as utilized in choreography by major dance companies. Locking Locking style involves a “clown look” fun movements like “the funky chicken” and other comedy moves. This was a dance style that was originally a “goof” dance or a “mistake” that became a media sensation with early 1970 TV shows based on unique characters and style. Some teachers out there might remember charactors like Re-Run! The significance of “Locking” was that it was the first style of Urban Dance gathering media attention. Robotics and Electric Boogaloo This style of dance became popular with the electronic funk sound and drum beat in songs in 70’s and 80’s. Many of you might have seen videos of “Michael Jackson’s Dancing Machine” and other Robotic dances of that era! WHAT IS BREAK DANCE?
