Speech On Bar Dance

Perhaps the very first image the general public would see in their mind’s eye, upon hearing the word “dancer”, is that of a darling little five year old girl in a pretty pink tutu and delicate ballet slippers stepping into her local dance studio for the first time. Take someone a little deeper into that thought, and they might see an overly thin, pale sixteen year old young woman, with collarbones and ribs showing working herself almost to death to earn a minor part in a dance chorus. Suggest that someone describe a dancer in the height of their career, and you might hear of a Prima Ballerina with the Moscow Ballet. Ask someone to visualize a dancer in later years, and they might picture an older woman with a greying bun atop her head, leading a class or perhaps helping younger dancer perfect a performance, who is likely ailing

Have you ever heard of the Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango, Jitterbug, or Charleston? If so, you already know a little about dance in the “Roaring Twenties,” and how big of an impact it made on American culture then and forevermore. At a time of prosperity and flamboyant wealth, dance made citizens enjoy life again, engage in one-another, develop an eccentric new style that would carry into the rest of the twentieth-century.

Dancing is a historical tradition. Hip-hop dancing has been alive at social functions for centuries, and Popping and Break dancing are the old school days gone by. In recent years, Hip-hop dance has proved its long lasting presence in our lives. It is in our media, our music and day-to-day social functions. It isn't usually taught parent-to-child so people are seeking schools where they can learn. With Dance sport being considered as a medal sport in the next Olympics, more people will be exposed to Social and Hip-hop dance.

In this article, the author explores males who dance for women, otherwise known as MDW. The article explores two main facets of MDW, the way the male dancers interact with the female patrons and how the male dancers present themselves in a hyper-masculine manner. The author explores these two main topics at a club he calls Dandelion’s. Over 18 months, the author conducted in-depth interviews with 42 male dancers. The dancers ranged from 22-44 years of age and identified as heterosexual. The author goes to Dandelion’s every Friday and Saturday night from September 2009 to March 2011 to conduct observational research.

Instead, the most popular form of entertainment would be dances. These dances would be held in local dance halls every Sunday. These ballroom style dances would cost about five shillings to get in, and would last from about eight at night to around three in the morning. “If you had a couple extra shilling,” Michael recalled, “then you could get yourself a coke” (Berrigan, Michael). Nowadays, a few shillings seems little to nothing to us, due to inflation, but in the 1940s, a single shilling was worth a lot more. Michael recalls earning his money for the Sunday night dances, and he explained to me how he would spend full days in bogs cutting, stacking, drying and moving turf just to get a few shillings, just enough to go to a dance. Otherways that he made some money was to spray acres of potatoes with about 40 gallons of a blue stone and soap mix to fight off the potato blight. A long day of this, and he would be rewarded with a whole ten shillings. Another form of dancing that was less common, but just as popular was called a kaylee. A kaylee was a dance that somebody would host in their home. Unlike the ballroom dance, a kaylee would be free to get into, but this is because it was invite only. Kaylees were also more of a traditional and free style of dancing, rather than the stiff ballroom dancing performed at other

The dancers in the earliest ballets were highly skilled professionals capable of feats of strength and agility.

Dancing had long been a backbone of New Orleans nightlife, and Bolden’s popularity was based on his ability to give dancers the music they wanted to swing to. During the nineteenth century, string bands, led by violinists, had conquered dance, offering dancing styles such as waltzes, quadrilles, polkas, and schottisches. By the turn of the century, an instrumentation borrowing from both brass marching bands and string bands was predominant: usually a front line of cornet, clarinet, and trombone with a rhythm section of guitar, bass, and drums (National Park). Dance audiences, especially the younger ones, wanted more excitement in their movement. Since the jazz clubs were being filled with young folk a demand for newer faster music was the challenge

There were ballet dancers, jazz ballet dancers, disco dancers not to mention untaught and thankfully, untapped, tap dancers.

Dance has been a natural movement form since the beginning of time. The origin of dance is unknown, just as the knowledge of the benefits of dance are unknown to many in our society. Many people do not enjoy dancing and also do not fully understand the positive benefits that come from dancing. Researchers such as Edwards, Duberg, and many more have found countless mental and emotional benefits of dance that originate from movement patterns, brain connections, and even expressions of emotion. Many are aware of the physical benefits of dance, but beyond the physical benefits of dance, there are also emotional and mental benefits that come from dance as well.
