A note from Tom Slater: DVIDA and I are so excited to release this new Gold Smooth Syllabus. Toni Redpath and Michael Mead, creators of the figures for this syllabus, have used their experience as 4 time Smooth National Champions to bring Smooth dancing into the 21st century. Their charismatic performances and thorough explanations make the DVDs an invaluable tool and a pleasure to watch. The figures they have created are a perfect balance of closed and open dancing - it’s like ballroom dancing on a roller coaster! What is Gold Smooth and how is it different from Bronze and Silver? Gold has more movement, more turns, and more separation between partners. The choreography is "showier" with borrowed pieces from Ballet, Jazz, Modern and other partner dance styles. The frame is spread out to maximum width and every inch of you will need to expand. This expansion, with faster and more turns, side by side figures, dancing away from, and back into Closed Position require a different technique than the conventions used in the Bronze and Silver manuals. I have done my best to write the technique to reflect the unique style of the Gold Level. Writing this manual has been a truly rewarding experience. As a Regional Examiner, I use the manuals constantly in preparation to examine professional candidates and have tremendous respect for those who have written them. It has been a thrilling challenge to match their dedication and keep the manual thorough, yet readable. Here’s how I approached it: • I moved the Summary column leftward so that it is the first thing you see. • Foot Positions and Footwork are next to each other for ease of reading. • The Leader and Follower pages are side by side. This way you can view both roles without having to turn the pages back and forth. • Each measure or section has a starting and ending alignment, as well as overall turn (rather than on every step) to allow for some flexibility. I would like to thank two very special people who helped immensely in the process of writing this manual. Diane Jarmolow, National Examiner, creator of the Professional Certification Exams, and my mentor of many years, instilled confidence in me and helped mold and shape the manual as I worked. I can’t thank her enough. And I thank Jerri Koby for her many hours editing this manual for consistency and clarity. I hope this manual will give you the basic foundation of these beautiful figures while leaving room for your own creativity and artistic expression. Happy dancing! Tom Slater World Exhibition Champion Regional Examiner Owner of Bloomington Ballroom Teacher’s Academy tomslaterdancepro.com [email protected] (812) 345-0805 A note from Toni Redpath: For Michael and me, reworking the DVIDA Smooth Syllabus has been a labor of love. We are passionate about this style and feel honored to have been afforded the opportunity to be part of its further development. Smooth is a beautiful form of dance that draws inspiration from elements of many other styles of dance. A major contributor is International Standard whose posture, frame and footwork cross over directly into Smooth. It also borrows heavily from forms of ballet (Classical, Contemporary and Modern), as well as from Jazz, Swing, Latin and Argentine Tango, to name just a few. The influence of these diverse forms makes Smooth a uniquely inclusive style of dance to study. Once the basic technical skills are mastered, it then becomes a wonderful way for each dance couple to express a unique individuality and feel for the character of the dances. For example: • Waltz can have a classical, lyrical feel. • Tango can borrow from Flamenco, Paso and Argentine Tango. • Foxtrot often steals from Jazz and Swing. • Viennese Waltz can have a Contemporary flavor to it. And these are just a few of the options! Throughout the new Bronze, Silver and Gold Syllabus, Michael and I have tried to put the building blocks in place to teach you the skills required to dance: • Dynamically and in sync with your partner • Changing in and out of the holds required in Smooth • With a sound technical base of correct posture, frame and footwork As these skills become instinctive, you will be able to explore your creative selves and find the personality, character and feel for the dance that highlights the best for you and your partner. Be prepared to fall in love with Smooth as we did! The New DVIDA GOLD SYLLABUS Smooth has evolved so much in the last 20 years that we really wanted to reflect this in the new syllabus. As a result we have changed the Gold Syllabus almost 100%. We worked hard not to "open up" Gold too much (where partners don't touch at all for measures at a time) in order to maintain the lead/follow dynamic and make the syllabus friendly enough for the high level social dancer to use. We also wanted Bronze and Silver students to be able to use elements of the Gold syllabus for their Open Bronze, Open Silver, or Showcase routines. Having said that, we also wanted the advanced dancer to feel challenged by this new syllabus and to build the skills necessary to become an Open level dancer. We have included transitions from one move, or one hold, to another that are more difficult, and have added advanced timing changes and syncopations. We have demonstrated creative use of shaping in the body, as this is an essential part of your development at this stage. Some of the new “Holds” you will see in the Syllabus are: - Left Shadow Position - Same Foot Left and Right Side Position - Overturned Open Promenade - Hammerlock Position - Cuddle (Cradle) Position We have introduced some fun, yet challenging, elements to the syllabus, where one partner is required to maintain balance on one foot for a portion of the figure, as in the Advanced Standing Spin and the Horse and Cart. The figures in Gold are approximately 4 to 8 measures long in order to fully cover the many ways to turn right or left while changing in and out of the different holds. One of the most fun aspects of Smooth is the ability to blend steps. For example in Gold Waltz you can dance the first half of the Wraparound and Hairpin but finish with the second half of the Standing Spin. It is also possible to cross over elements from one dance to another. For example, the Horse and Cart from Viennese Waltz could be used in Foxtrot (with the appropriate timing alterations). Mixing and matching figures is part of the creative, free flowing individualism we encourage in the Smooth Style and is part of the process of becoming an Open Level dancer.

  • 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.

Introduction The cliché “It takes two to Tango” (or any other dance within the confines of DanceSport) identifies the activity as a “Team Sport”. In this respect DanceSport differs from most other “Team Sports” in so much as a successful partnership, IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER IT BE IN Standard, Latin American or New Vogue, is expected to produce, as a general principle, a single entity “performance”, whereas in Team DSA – Adjudicating Principles Version 2019 Page 2 Sports generally, success is dependent upon a combination of the individual (and generally singular) activities of the team members. As well, within the realms of “Team Sports”, DanceSport is unique in so much as results are determined directly by the collective marks of the Adjudicators as opposed to “point scoring definitive actions” by individual team members. The role of the DanceSport Adjudicator differs considerably from that of the “judgement” role of the sports Referee or Umpire whose concern is primarily with the “rules of play” whereas the marks of the DanceSport Adjudicator (and ultimately the collective marks of the panel) directly indicate an assessment of the particular competitive performances.

  • International Choreographed Ballroom Dance Association
    International Choreographed Ballroom Dance Association Convention 35 - Lakeland, Florida July 20-23, 2011 The Story of The Swans in Lakeland, FL Lakeland, whose lakes had been home to a varying number of graceful birds since at least 1923, saw its last swan fall victim to an alligator in 1954. Mrs. Robert Pickhardt, a Lakeland native living in England at the time, was fa- miliar with the royal flock of swans on the Thames – birds descended from the original pair given to Richard—he of the lion heart. She inquired about purchas- ing a pair for Lakeland. Queen Elizabeth, known to be a little tight with a far- thing, agreed to send a pair of swans to Lakeland if the city would pay the cost of capture, crating, and shipping, estimated at $300. Eventually the money was raised and a pair of White Mute Swans from England were released on Lake Morton on February 9, 1957. Descendants of that pair continue to grace the city’s many lakes; today there are more than 200 birds, including White Mutes, Australian Black Swans, White Coscorba Swans from the Falkland Islands, Black Neck Swans from South America, white peli- cans, ducks, geese, and other species. Lakeland has learned its lesson and is very protective of its swans now. There is an annual swan round-up, at which time the graceful birds are inocu- lated against disease, and the city provides feeding stations and breeding pens along Lake Morton’s perimeter. The swan is now the city’s official logo. A good place to view the swans of Lake Morton is at the corner of Lake Morton Drive and East Palmetto Avenue, near the Lakeland Library.

  • Standard Rhythm Introduction
    STANDARD RHYTHM INTRODUCTION The Standard Rhythms, also known as Smooth Rhythms, include the Foxtrot, Quickstep, Tango, Waltz, and the Viennese Waltz. With the introduction of Dance Sport, the name Standard was adopted to describe this set of rhythms. The following information and definitions are to help in the reading and understanding of the charted figures. These are the common definitions for the information presented. These definitions are extracted from dance publications that are used by most of the teachers of dance worldwide. Positions of the Feet This refers to the position of one foot in relation to the other at the end of a step. For example on a pull step with the right foot, the right foot will start to move back. A turn is then made on the left foot so that the right foot will end to the side. The step would be described as right foot to the side. This does not describe the actions necessary to get the right foot to the side. Usually, the amount of turn on a step is in relation to the turn the feet make, not the turn that the body makes. The turn of the body is quite often different from the amount of turn of the feet. Amounts of Turn The amount of turn in a figure or step is the amount of turn the feet or foot makes. The information of the preceding paragraph explains this further. Closed Dance Position (CP) The Closed Dance Position is the position that is maintained most of the time while dancing the Standard dance rhythms.
