Ballroom Dancing 101
Generally, a ballroom dance is any form of social dancing by a couple or set of partners, either for recreation or competitive purposes. The word “ball” in Ballroom Dancing originated from ballare, Latin for dancing. At its broadest definition, a ballroom dance may simply refer to any type of Social Dance. However, with the emergence of dancesport in modern times, ballroom dance has become narrower in scope.
There are currently two categories referred to when people speak of ballroom dancing. The first one refers to the international style, further divided into International Standard and International Latin dances. In the United States, American Smooth and American Rhythm are two additional variations. While both share a number of dances, the techniques used are similar too. International Standard allows only closed dance positions, whereas American Smooth dances allow closed, open, and separate dance movements.
American Smooth is the equivalent of International Standard while American Rhythm corresponds to International Latin. American Style dances are danced to mid-20th century music, while International Styles are danced to European and Latin American music. The International Styles originated and were developed in England, and are now regulated by the World Dance Council.
Moreover, International Latin and American Rhythm styles are governed by somewhat different dance syllabi and mechanics. As such, both styles, although similar to International Standard and American Smooth respectively, have distinct patterns and styles. Furthermore, in both (International) Standard and (American) Smooth dances, the set of dance partners follow the line of dance moving or gliding in a counter-clockwise direction in a rectangular floor, as seen in Swing dancing Indianapolis dancers practice.
In the United Kingdom, sequence dancing in pairs or formation is also regarded as a type of ballroom dancing. Also, there are additional dances considered ballroom in some parts of Europe. These include the Mambo, Argentine Tango, Swing Boogie, and Disco Fox, all of which are in the Latin Swing dances category. Some nightclub dances such as the Lindy Hop, West Coast Swing, Hustle, Nightclub Two Step, Merengue, and Salsa dancing Indianapolis residents love to dance are also considered ballroom dances.
What is classified as a ballroom dance also depends on the period. Historically, ballroom dancing was really just social dancing reserved for the nobility and the privileged. On the other hand, folk dancing was for the commoners. The boundaries have since become blurred. Balls once featured the Minuet, Quadrille, Polonaise, Polka, and Mazurka. Today’s balls (more appropriately called parties) feature Swing dancing Indianapolis residents enjoy.

Chapters: Flashdance, Dirty Dancing, West Side Story, Fame, Footloose, Save the Last Dance, Step Up, Swing Kids, the Forbidden Dance, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, Fast Forward, the Turning Point, Salsa, Rooftops, Turn the Beat Around. Excerpt: Dirty Dancing Dirty Dancing is a 1987 romantic film made in the United States. Written by Eleanor Bergstein and directed by Emile Ardolino , the film features Patrick Swayze , Jennifer Grey , Cynthia Rhodes , and Jerry Orbach . The story is a coming of age drama that documents a teenaged woman’s rebellion against her father by starting a relationship with a dance instructor during a family summer vacation. Almost a third of the film involves dancing scenes choreographed by Kenny Ortega (later famous for High School Musical ), and the finale has been described as “the most goosebump -inducing dance scene in movie history”. Originally a low-budget film by a new studio and with no major stars (except Broadway legend Orbach ), Dirty Dancing became a massive box office hit. As of 2009, it earned over $214 million worldwide. It was the first film to sell more than a million copies on home video, and the Dirty Dancing soundtrack soundtrack generated two multi-platinum albums and multiple singles, including “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life “, which won both the Golden Globe and Academy Award for Best Original Song , and a Grammy Award for best duet. The film spawned a 2004 prequel, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights , as well as a stage version which has had sellout performances in Australia, Europe, and North America, with plans to open on Broadway . Plot In the summer of 1963, 17-year-old New Yorker Frances “Baby” Houseman (Jennifer Grey ) is vacationing with her affluent Jewish family at Kellerman’s, a resort in the Catskill Mountains . Baby |

Are You My Husband? $12.95 A charming parody of P.D. Eastman’s beloved 1960 children’s classic, Are You My Mother?, Are You My Husband? follows the adventures of Little Chick, who wakes up one day to discover she is thirty-horrors!-and-even worse-still single. Greatly concerned about her eggs, Little Chick embarks on a quest to find a husband. Her search takes her from swing-dancing class (where all the guys are practicing for their weddings) to her high school reunion (where she remembers why she didn’t meet her husband there in the first place), from the Internet (where she fails a Prince fan’s mysterious lyrics test) to AA (where her self-esteem just isn’t low enough). She even tries the oh-so-gorgeous guy at the gym, but it turns out he’s looking for a husband, too. Ultimately, Little Chick comes to realize that love, like life, has to happen on its own timetable, and until it does, maybe being single isn’t so bad after all. In the tradition of Looking for Mr. Right and Even God is Single So Stop Giving Me a Hard Time, this newest bit of chick lit is the perfect anti-Valentine for any woman who’s been asked one too many times, So, when are YOU getting married? |

Being Prez: The Life and Music of Lester Young $5.13 Lester Young was one of the great jazz masters, and his impact on the course of the art form was profound. He fundamentally changed the way the saxophone was played—his long, flowing lines brought new levels of expressiveness and subtlety to the jazz language, setting the standard for all modern players. In Being Prez, renowned British critic Dave Gelly follows Lester Young through his life in a rapidly changing world, showing how the music of this exceptionally sensitive man was shaped by his experiences. The reader meets a complicated, vulnerable, gentle individual who was brought up in his father’s traveling carnival band. His early career was spent in the nightclubs and dancehalls of Kansas City and the Southwest, and he made his landmark recording debut at the peak of the Swing Era. But at the height of his powers, he was drafted into the US Army, where racism and his own unworldliness landed him in military prison. Following these events, Young grew increasingly withdrawn and suspicious, changes in his character reflected in the darkening mood of his music. Gelly, himself a jazz saxophonist, examines many of Young’s classic recordings in illuminating detail. He reveals how as a saxophonist—and as major contributor to the Count Basie band—Young created a strong personal voice, a cool modernism, and a new rhythmic flexibility in the freely dancing rhythms of 4-beat swing. With his sax jutting oddly to one side, his bizarre oblique use of language, and his unique musical rapport with Billie Holiday (who famously nicknamed him "Prez"), Lester Young has become an icon and a cult figure. This marvelous biography illuminates the life and work of this giant of jazz. |

Big Bands And Great Ballrooms: America Is Dancing Again $19.49 Where did big bands and swing music go?They didn’t leave. . . but many Americans actually believe they disappeared along with ballrooms, jukeboxes, bobby sox and zoot suits decades ago. Band leader Brooks Tegler, who has recreated the great music of World War II with his Army Air Corps Review Big Band, offers a good response. “In order for something to come back, it needs to have gone away. Big bands have wrongly been put in that category. They never went away.”And that’s the essence of the chapters of my book about America’s big bands, ballrooms and dancing’s past and present. And there’s a good look at the future through the eyes of a number of young bandleaders from the east to west coast who carry on in the tradition of Guy Lombardo, Glenn Miller, Harry James, Woody Herman, Duke Ellington and a host of other music legends in their own distinctive way.The struggle to survive in the music business hasn’t been without losses and a need for life support. It did when Miller, Benny Goodman, James and Ellington were in their heyday. It’s a financially precarious business regardless of your talent. Inevitably, music and dancing evolved and matured. The reasons are numerous and linked to our heritage. But like marching bands on the 4th of July, imagine a country club new year’s eve without live dance music and a big band. Think about the many community social events and high school and college proms let alone wedding receptions that still insist on having live bands to play the foxtrots and swing numbers people enjoy. My research shows that while there were approximately 800 big bands on the road during the swing era of the 1940s, todaythere are nearly 1,300 big bands, according to a Google search and a review of hundreds of territory bands. Consequently, neither the bands nor the music vanished. . . they scattered throughout the American countryside. |

Birth of the Blues/Blue Skies $14.98 Two classic Bing Crosby films, BIRTH OF BLUES and BLUE SKIES, on one DVD.BIRTH OF THE BLUES: As a child, Jeff Lambert (Bing Crosby) hangs out in New Orleans’ Basin Street, playing hot swing on his clarinet instead of the classics his father prefers. He’s inspired by an African-American group there and, some years later, at the turn of the century, sets out to form a jazz band of his own. With cornetist Memphis (Brian Donlevy), singer Betty Lou Cobb (Mary Martin) and trombonist Jack Teagarden (of the Original Dixieland Jazz Group, after which the story is patterned), he’s on his way.A veritable history of jazz follows. From jump and jive to sweet romanticism, half a century of popular hits is given spectacular treatment. By the Light of the Silvery Moon is sung in a theatre with lantern slides on the screen. Singer Ruby Elzy’s St. Louis Blues is backed by a chorus of eighty. And Wait Till the Sun Shines, Nellie brings Crosby and Martin together in a knockout duet. This bright, bouncy musical is as spirited as they come, and it features Bing and Mary at their best. (Louella O. Parsons, Los Angeles Examiner)BLUE SKIES: For what Fred Astaire had announced would be his last film, no expense was spared. This musical extravaganza boasts 30 Irving Berlin songs, 47 sets, sumptuous costumes, and a budget of $3,000,000. The result is sensational. (And fortunately, Astaire did not retire from films!)Dancing star Jed Potter (Astaire) and singer/nightclub owner Johnny Adams (Bing Crosby) are both in love with songstress Mary O’Hara (Joan Caulfield). She marries Johnny, but his passion for buying and selling nightclubs drives them apart. So Jed steps in, hoping to win Mary’s heart – until fate steps in and changes the lives of all three.The most outstanding number is Astaire’s famous Puttin’ on the Ritz, a split-screen gem with a chorus of miniature Astaires tap-dancing behind him. Designed by Astaire, it took five weeks of back-b |

City $12.75 The City opens up in with the funky and sensuous Cosmic Monkey featuring Jeffrey Osbourne’s slinky overdubbed harmonies. Hello Again is Wes Montgomery-breezy soul samba. Next up is Side Steppin’ s high-spirited blast of ’80s-era disco jazz. The City’s dreamy blend of Boney James’ soulful tenor saxophone, shivery keyboards, boogaloo congas, bluesy guitar and cognac-smooth jazz vocal follows. Las Vegas is an exuberant congress of dancing guitar licks, Michael Paulo’s throaty sax and a bouncing hip-hop swing beat. Old Friends is a quiet fire ballad caressed by Brown and James’ tender interplay. Winelight ’s blend of Brown’s Grover Washington, Jr.-channeling solos and tasty club beats is complemented by the silky-smooth party starter Jumpin’ Uptown. Food For the Moon ’s cool ‘n funky hip-hop jazz groove flows into a faithful/playful voice box-juiced version of Johnny Guitar Watson’s Reel Mutha For Ya. Fittingly, the album closes with the sublime Brown/James chillout duet The City (Instrumental). The City proves beyond a doubt that Paul Brown is one of the most exciting and important guitarists in contemporary jazz. |

Corbin Bleu Songs $8.96 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: “I Don’t Dance” is a song performed by actor/singers Lucas Grabeel and Corbin Bleu in the television movie High School Musical 2, released in 2007. It is one of seven songs from the soundtrack High School Musical 2 to reach the Billboard Hot 100. It was also named as the official theme song for the 2007 Little League World Series. In the film, High School Musical 2, the song is performed on a baseball field. Actor Corbin Bleu was beaned on three different occasions while filming the scene. On the challenges of filming the scene, Bleu stated “It’s bad enough that you’re mixing acting with dancing and singing all at once. But then you throw sports into it and it’s incredibly difficult especially for me.” The Village Voice’s Tom Breihan called the song “the movie’s best dance-number” and commented how the routine managed to “include rapping and swing-dancing, which sort of blew mind.” Reviewer Erin Nolan referred to the song as “insanely catchy.” Not all reviews were positive though. The reviewer for the Charlotte Observer called the tune “excruciating,” The New York Times felt that the “HSM2 was the shallowest movie he had ever seen” was “a superb idea, as it plays off both the Latinization of the major leagues (by letting a little salsa into the hip-hop) and the spectacular pitcher-batter operetta showdowns of recent seasons,” but that the camera work let the scene down noting that “viewers never get a sustained look at the choreography … and for that reason its hard to appreciate specific dancers or their clever configuration.” The promotional video for the song blends scenes from the movie’s dance sequence with clips of notable Major league baseball players including Ryan Howard, Cole Hamels, Jimmy Rollins, Jake Peavy, Justin Verlander, … More: |

Float $11.99 Words to describe this work would be: surprising, analytical, darkness, mystery, lyricism, and jealous. Jealous because it’s likely that every person who has ever tried to rap would wish he could rhyme like this guy, and every poet would wish to dream with such imagery. If you’re into bootyshakin’ and dancing, and that’s the reason you listen to hip-hop, do not buy this album. But if you like hip-hop for rhymes that make you think, this guy just can’t be slept on. For example, “6B Panorama” discusses the view from his NYC apartment and starts like this: “I was sitting on my fire escape and I saaaaaaw…Sturdy bridges, decorated with dirty pigeons, a vagabond beggin’ for three pennies and a princess, a junky tourniquet surgeon urgin’ the needle in, a batty senior citizen flashin’ that awful teethless grin.” Artists such as Aesop Rock paint intricate abstract pictures with their music, and it’s simply too much information to handle in a single sitting. This album is so complex that it may never be fully comprehended by the listener, but you may find yourself walking along listening one day and finally figure out one of the metaphors — a great feeling. This is one of a few albums definitely worth any import pricing. One more quote: “(I see) a challenge, a chance to add real colors to my favorite palette, raise my mighty mallet towards the gods and swing my talents!” ~ Brad Mills, Rovi |
