  • Arthur Murray's Paper on History of Dances
    The music begins - fingers snap, bodies become restless, and feet begin to itch. It is almost impossible to listen to music and not be stirred to rhythmic movements of one kind or another. We hum, we sing, we whistle, we sway, we clap, we strum, and ultimately we find ourselves dancing. All societies, from the most primitive to the most cultural, share a common need for dance. Many feel the urge, but do not know how to express it in an open forum. Learning to respond to basic rhythms opens up a delightful new world to everyone who has ever tried it. Social dancing today is one of the most popular pastimes in the world and is enjoyed in every country by people of all ages. It is stimulating, both mentally and physically – the care and frustrations of the work day world vanishing on the dance floor. Even more, the need to dance and express oneself, through dance, goes deeper than pure enjoyment. The need is so ingrained in the human race that history itself can be traced through the study of dance. The bases of popular dance are numerous. First, social dance helps to fulfill the need for identity with communal activities. Second, it is related to courting, in which the male displays his ability to move his partner in harmony with himself. In most social dances the male role is dominant; the female that of a follower. Third, popular dancing, especially before the 20th century, was often used to celebrate such events as weddings, the harvest, or merely the end of a working day.

    SPENCER, Margaret Ann (Peggy) (1920-2016) (SPENCER) ©Bishopsgate Institute Catalogued by Barbara Vesey, November 2017 SPENCER Spencer, Margaret Ann (Peggy) (1920-2016) 1940-2016 Name of Creator: Spencer, Margaret Ann (Peggy) (1920-2016) dancer and choreographer Extent: 34 boxes, 7 oversize items Administrative/Biographical History: Margaret Ann 'Peggy' Spencer MBE (1920–2016) was a British professional ballroom dancer, choreographer, competition adjudicator and organizer. Peggy married Jack Spencer in 1940, and had two children. They divorced in 1947. Peggy married Frank Spencer in the late 1960s after a long professional association. For many years, she and Frank (a musician and a dancer before the Second World War) ran the Royston Ballroom in Penge, South London. Peggy Spencer was a regular TV dance commentator. She was a leading coach for competitive Latin dancers, and was influential in both Ballroom and Latin American branches of the ISTD (Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing). Her ballroom formation team was twice invited to dance for Queen Eilzabeth II at Buckingham Palace. For 40 years, her teams appeared in the BBC television series 'Come Dancing'. Spencer choreographed a dance sequence for a Beatles video ('Your Mother Should Know'), and the tango for Rudolph Nureyev in the film 'Valentino' (1977). She was a choreographer for the Burn the Floor dance show, which combined ballroom dances with modern dance. She appeared on the BBC children's show 'Blue Peter', bringing young dancers from her classes to demonstrate. In 1993 she was the subject of the TV show 'This Is Your Life'. In 2004 Spencer became President of the ISTD.

All over the country, people dumped buckets of ice on their heads to raise awareness for the disease and simultaneously raised millions of dollars for research. There are so very many worthy causes out there, so many needs vying for all of our attention, and it’s a rare coup to stand out against the crowd as ALS did this year. At Pacific University, we have no such device. We hope that your own experience and memories of Pacific, coupled with stories of the people here today, will help you forge and strengthen connections with the university — and will inspire you to consider giving back to tomorrow’s students.
