Abstract

Les danses dites “latines” sont nées de croisements incessants des cultures africaine, américaine et européenne. Le samba est brésilien mais croit toujours à ses ancêtres africains. Le tango du Rio de La Plata vit depuis longtemps une histoire d'amour avec l'Europe. La salsa, originaire des Caraïbes, s'est forgée dans les faubourgs latinos de New York. Sans oublier la rumba, le mambo, le cha-cha-cha, le forró, la capoeira… De Salvador de Bahia à New York en passant par Buenos Aires, La Havane et Paris, la popularité, plus ou moins grande, de ces danses témoigne de l'extraordinaire vitalité de leurs rythmes, leurs musiques, leurs identités. Fait d'allers-retours entre trois continents, ce livre de voyage et d'images saute d'une rive à l'autre en s'arrêtant ici pour faire parler les milongueros de Buenos Aires, en évoquant là séduction et sensualité, ou en montrant comment la capoeira fut un exutoire pour les esclaves du Brésil. Souvent méconnues ou amalgamées aux plus populaires d'entre elles – à savoir le tango et la salsa –, ces danses gagnent à être (re)découvertes au fil de leurs voyages, leurs histoires, leurs croyances, leurs énergies et leurs désirs. Pour mieux les comprendre, corps et âmes.

Abstract

"The book opens with a brief overview of anti-dance sentiment from around the fourth century to the present day. The waltz, perhaps the most beloved and most maligned social dance to come out of this period. It then explores the Charleston, the Tango, and Ragtime dances such as the Turkey Trot, Grizzly Bear, and Bunny Hug"--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

"In this first in-depth study of the sport of ballroom dance, dancer and dance historian Juliet McMains explains the "Glamour Machine" that drives the thriving industry, delving into both the pleasures and perils of its seductions. She further explores the broader social issues invoked by American DanceSport: representation of Latinness, economics that often foster inequality, and issues of identity, including gender, race, class, and sexuality."--Jacket.

Abstract

Etudie d'un point de vue sociologique la pratique des danses de couple, comme activité culturelle, rituel de rencontre et processus de transmission aux codifications multiples. Examine la culture du bal, désuète dans les années 1970, comme la danse de couple, mais qui connaît un regain d'intérêt sous l'impulsion des associations et des pouvoirs publics, comme medium à de nouvelles sociabilités.

Abstract

Overview: Feel confident on the dance floor-step by step! This third edition of Social Dance: Steps to Success will teach you all the moves for 10 of today's most popular dance styles: Merengue; Four-count swing and hustle; Waltz; Six-count swing; Foxtrot; Polka; Cha-cha; Rumba; Tango; Salsa and mambo. The first few learning steps in this book introduce you to the foundational skills and concepts you need for success on the dance floor. Each step you take is a smooth transition from the previous one. As you progress, you learn not only how your posture and footwork affect your balance but also how to connect your footwork with the music, adjust to a partner, make the transition between partner positions, and create sequences from variations of each dance's specific rhythmic step pattern. Each of the steps also explains why the concept or skill is important, identifies the keys to correcting technique, helps you avoid common errors, and provides drills to practice at your own pace. The later steps show how to demonstrate dance etiquette, including how to adapt to a crowded social dance floor. Best of all, the enclosed DVD provides you with 93 minutes of video demonstration and a music soundtrack with 19 tracks for practice and demonstrations of key movements, footwork, and the dances themselves. Written by master teacher and dancer Judy Wright, this special book and DVD package is part of the best-selling Steps to Success activity series, with more than 2 million copies sold worldwide.
