  • The History of Square Dance
    The History of Square Dance Swing your partner and do-si-do—November 29 is Square Dance Day in the United States. Didn’t know this folksy form of entertainment had a holiday all its own? Then it’s probably time you learned a few things about square dancing, a tradition that blossomed in the United States but has roots that stretch back to 15th-century Europe. Square dance aficionados trace the activity back to several European ancestors. In England around 1600, teams of six trained performers—all male, for propriety’s sake, and wearing bells for extra oomph—began presenting choreographed sequences known as the morris dance. This fad is thought to have inspired English country dance, in which couples lined up on village greens to practice weaving, circling and swinging moves reminiscent of modern-day square dancing. Over on the continent, meanwhile, 18th- century French couples were arranging themselves in squares for social dances such as the quadrille and the cotillion. Folk dances in Scotland, Scandinavia and Spain are also thought to have influenced square dancing. When Europeans began settling England’s 13 North American colonies, they brought both folk and popular dance traditions with them. French dancing styles in particular came into favor in the years following the American Revolution, when many former colonists snubbed all things British. A number of the terms used in modern square dancing come from France, including “promenade,” “allemande” and the indispensable “do-si-do”—a corruption of “dos-à-dos,” meaning “back-to-back.” As the United States grew and diversified, new generations stopped practicing the social dances their grandparents had enjoyed across the Atlantic.

Of course we can "discover" the dance figures, write them up, and dance them some place else. They are pleasant entertainment, but they are changed uihen the basic community meaning is no longer present. Dancers in a traditional community know what is correct and pleasing to them in their dance. Thus the dancing in each community is special to that community. The subtle differences that make a dance "right" in a community are often hard for an outsider to grasp.

  • Ár Rincí Fóirne Thirty Popular Céilí Dances Eagrán 2003 an COIMISIÚN LE RINCÍ GAELACHA, 6 Sráid Fhearchair, Baile Átha
    Ár Rincí Fóirne Thirty Popular Céilí Dances Eagrán 2003 AN COIMISIÚN LE RINCÍ GAELACHA, 6 Sráid Fhearchair, Baile Átha Cliath 2 IRISH DANCE MUSIC A well-known exponent of Irish Dancing once remarked that the happiness and pleasure of dancing was the stimulus of gay spirited music. How true these words are can be realized when we see a party of dancers at a Céilí endeavouring to perform such a fine spirited dance as the ‘High-Cauled Cap’ to dull, insipid, lifeless music. Spiritless music means that there is a lack of ‘Rhythmic Vitality’ – which is part of the player´s own soul. Perhaps the only outside help he can get is a correct understanding of the dances. ‘Speeding’ is no certain cure for the absence of ‘Rhythmic Vitality’, the most essential element in Irish dance Music. Generally speaking, the more speedy the music, the more lifeless it becomes. Not alone does over-hasty playing destroy the outline and sentiment of the tune, it also tends to spoil the technique of the dancers. The ‘Tempo’ of Irish Dancing must be regulated by the ages of the dancers. Children, as a rule, require quicker time than do adults, as young people are unable to get the control necessary for slow music without a great deal of effort and concentration, resulting in a loss of spirit and enjoyment. Adults, on the other hand, prefer a moderate Tempo, as they have not the physical strenght necessary for our lively, energetic dances when taken at a quick pace. This question of Tempo can only be solved by regulating it to suit the majority, rather than the few, and thus assist in the retention of that grace, beauty and elegance of movement which is a natural characteristic of all Irish Dances.
