This dance, now known as “on 2” mambo, or salsa, for its relationship to the clave, is the first uniquely North American form of vernacular Latino dance on the East Coast. This paper traces the New York mambo’s develop- ment from its beginnings at the Palladium Ballroom through the salsa and hustle years and up to the present time. The current period is characterized by increasing growth, commercialization, codification, and a blending with other modern, urban dance genres such as hip-hop.

  • 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.

  • Sketchbook 47 Introduction
    Introduction to SSB 47 (4-27 September 1857) by Philip Cottrell NB. All page references are to SSB 47 and catalogue numbers refer to items from the Art Treasures Exhibition’s Gallery of Ancient Masters unless otherwise specified. Scharf’s new duties as Secretary of the National Portrait Gallery did not begin to regularly occupy him until mid-October 1857, leaving him with enough time to re-establish himself in Manchester for weeks-on-end in order to make daily sketching visits to the Art Treasures Palace (he still had his entry season ticket after all, even if he had had to pay for it himself).1 During the period covered by SSB 47, Friday 4 to Sunday 27 September, Scharf was almost continually in Manchester, returning to London only briefly between Monday 7 and Wednesday 9 September). On Monday 14 September, Scharf’s aunt recorded in her diary that she had received “a note from George to say he was constantly at the [Art Treasures] Palace hard at work”.2 Before the Exhibition’s closure on 17 October, it is understandable that Scharf wished to fully benefit from his efforts in bringing about the most comprehensive temporary gathering of old masters ever assembled from private and public collections. On the grounds of professional and personal interest, he was keen to make more sketches and notes on some of the hundreds of paintings at Old Trafford and to do this with more care and diligence than had hitherto been possible during his countrywide survey of the collections of which they were a part.
