Introduction to Quickstep Intern ational Quickstep Introduction to Quickstep General International Quickstep is in the smooth ballroom category of dances along with Waltz, Tango, Slow Foxtrot and Viennese Waltz. The Quickstep is a swing dance and characterized by movement across the floor, locks and chassiés. Because the rhythm is fast the steps are not long and the rise is normally quick. To keep from tiring quickly while dancing the Quickstep, the dancer must be light on the feet and make maximum use of the ankles during rise and fall. Musical Timing The musical timing for International Quickstep is 4/4 rhythm at 48 to 50 bars (measures) per minute. Most routines, in round dancing, use 46 to 48 bars per minute. Slowing the speed much more than that will cause the routine to become very heavy and tiring to dance. The step timing uses "slows" (S) and "quicks" (Q). A “slow step" uses one half a bar of music or two beats. A "quick step" uses one beat. Dance Position The dance positions used in the International Quickstep are standard as for all swing dances. Footwork The footwork for the International Quickstep is standard with the swing dances. A forward step that initiates rise is on the heel then rises to the toe. A step while up or continuing to rise is on the toe. A step with lowering action is on the toe lowering to the heel. A backing step with "rise" normally has no foot rise and is on the toe and rolling to the heel. The rise is through the body. Rise and Fall These are the general rules for rise and fall in the Quickstep: Forward Turns: Step 1. Rise at the end of step 1 Step 2. Up on step 2 Backward Turns: Step 1. Rise at the end of step 1 with no foot rise Step 2. Up on step 2 with foot rise Exception to the above rules: Quarter Turns, Progressive Chassés, Forward and Backward Locks: These steps continue to rise on steps 2 and 3. The dancer is up on 4. This action requires the use of the knees in rise and fall. Most figures use a quick rise on step one. The lowering action begins, from an up posture, on the toe of the supporting foot. The dancer lowers to the heel of that foot as the moving foot collects under the body and is about to move onto the next step. QS - Intro - 1 Introduction (continued) Intern ational Quickstep As the tempo of the music increases, the bending and straightening of the knees decrease, therefore the rise and fall will be less. When the tempo becomes faster, the steps become shorter. To help with the rise and fall (and the dance) the dancer must maintain the feet and knees compactly under the hips. Develop a feeling of the knees working toward each other so the feet will not spread out. Keep the action on the ball of the foot. Do not get "flat footed". Keep the ankles flexible and springy to add lightness to the dance. The following is the explanation of some terms used for Rise and Fall: Rise at the end of 1 (rise E01) The rise begins immediately when transferring the weight to the supporting foot. Up on 2 - The dancer attains the maximum rise on the second step. Continue to Rise on 2 - The rise is still occurring and is not complete. Continue to Rise on 3 - The rise is still occurring and is not complete. Up on 3 - The dancer attains the maximum rise on the third step. Up on 4, etc. - The dancer attains the maximum rise on the fourth, etc., step. Lower at the end of 3, etc. - The foot lowers to the heel as the weight is fully transferred on the third, etc., step and the moving leg collects under the body. Amounts of Turn There are two amounts of turn noted in the Figure Descriptions. One is the amount of turn made by the foot. If different from the amount of turn the body makes, this information will be in the "Technique" column. The other is the amount of turn that the body makes on a given step. This information is in the "Amount of Turn" column. While dancing some figures, the feet will make more turn than the body on a particular step. Usually the body catches up on the next step. We note this by the term "Body Turns Later".

  • 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.

  • Round Dances Scot Byars Started Dancing in 1965 in the San Francisco Bay Area
    Syllabus of Dance Descriptions STOCKTON FOLK DANCE CAMP – 2016 – FINAL 7/31/2016 In Memoriam Floyd Davis 1927 – 2016 Floyd Davis was born and raised in Modesto. He started dancing in the Modesto/Turlock area in 1947, became one of the teachers for the Modesto Folk Dancers in 1955, and was eventually awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award for dance by the Stanislaus Arts Council. Floyd loved to bake and was famous for his Chocolate Kahlua cake, which he made every year to auction off at the Stockton Folk Dance Camp Wednesday auction. Floyd was tireless in promoting folk dancing and usually danced three times a week – with the Del Valle Folk Dancers in Livermore, the Modesto Folk Dancers and the Village Dancers. In his last years, Alzheimer’s disease robbed him of his extensive knowledge and memory of hundreds, if not thousands, of folk dances. A celebration for his 89th birthday was held at the Carnegie Arts Center in Turlock on January 29 and was attended by many of his well-wishers from all over northern California. Although Floyd could not attend, a DVD was made of the event and he was able to view it and he enjoyed seeing familiar faces from his dancing days. He died less than a month later. Floyd missed attending Stockton Folk Dance Camp only once between 1970 and 2013. Sidney Messer 1926 – 2015 Sidney Messer died in November, 2015, at the age of 89. Many California folk dancers will remember his name because theny sent checks for their Federation membership to him for nine years.
