As befits a music that was birthed mostly from black musical sources, rock and roll became synonymous with dance crazes - blink-and-you-missed-it fads that involved some wild new dance steps, usually accompanied by a hit single either before or after the fact. In the Fifties, rock dances were generally appropriated from other sources; the lindy hop and the jitterbug served as a basis for many of the fast dances, and aside from the occasional glorious one-off (The Diamonds' deathless, monumentally sleazy "The Stroll"), most rock dancing in the Ike Years remained confined to a few moves.

Extractions: Step back in time and enjoy this 'primary source' of over 60 historical dance film clips in America Dances! 1897-1948: A Collector's Edition of Social Dance in Film. This nostalgic history lesson provides an engrossing record of our changing dance styles from the first part of the 20th century. The retrospective spans the panorama from average Americans dancing in newsreels to top quality performers who have left a dance legacy of graceful moves across the ballroom floor. The DVD/VHS records some of the pivotal dance moments of our history. The improvisational base for 20th century social dance begins with wild cakewalk/animal dance fads. The 1920s explodes the limits of social dance in the Blackbottom and Charleston. Dance Marathons and the influential Lindy Hop emerge triumphant in the 1930s. Finally, the 1940s are distinguished by romantic Latin dances and feature film "aerial" athletics. Highlights in the collection are: elegant performances from the silent film era by Irene and Vernon Castle (the role models for modern ballroom dance), Blackbottom clips demonstrating colloquial roots, newsreels showing Charleston contests, excruciating couple dancing in the interminable dance marathons, and a variety of the finest clips available for the show-stopping Lindy Hop, celebrated by the renown Whitey's Lindy Hoppers.

http://rockwisdom.com/commentaries/commentary56.htm

Extractions: CHAPTER COMMENTARY Music can be a positive influence in that it can help cultivate and develop the individual skills of the musicians and listening audience. First, the exposure to different human emotions, ideas, concepts, music, and literature styles provides an educational opportunity. Second, the process used to select and choose musical preferences can help develop decision making skills needed to establish individual identity and independence. Third, the material and selection process may help to develop individual talents, skills, and areas of interest. For some, music may become a talent to explore, a hobby, or an area of interest. Whether taken separately or collectively, all these factors can promote personal growth. Another way music can be positive is that can be used to promote social opportunities. Music can be used to bring together individuals with common interests and be used to promote social interaction and atmosphere, such as music for dancing. Dancing is one of the most enjoyable aspects of music because it allows for audience participation. Throughout rock and roll history, dance fads have always been popular. In fact, rock and roll started primarily as dance music to wilder and more complex versions of the Lindy and Jitterbug. In the 1960s, swing dancing was replaced by "free form" dancing, which gained popularity because it was easy to do and did not require a dance partner. Several popular dance fads emerged such as the Twist, the Stroll, the Watusi, the Mashed Potato, the Jerk, the Monkey, the Pony, and the Boogaloo. The 1970s and 1980s brought forward such dance crazes as Boogying, the Bump, the Pogo, Slam dancing, and Break dancing.

Extractions: Do not link to this page. Please use the Home Page address instead. Thanks. Welcome to The Hipster Go-Go Dancers Web Page. Who are The Hipster Go-Go Dancers? They are two girls who have a great love of the 1960's and have done so most of their lives. Kathy has been professionally trained in go-go and fad dances and together with go-go partner Marie have over twenty years experience dancing to the sounds of the 60's. Their repetoire consists of dancing on stage alongside cover and original bands from the 1960's in costume and their trade-mark white go-go boots. Over the two decades they have been involved in a variety of events, mainly around Melbourne - Australia, concerning the wonderful, swinging period. For more information on The Hipsters background click the Biography button below. This site is generally aimed at the female species but will try, whenever possible, to give pointers for you 'go-go boys'. The purpose of the web page is to educate the uninitiated into the fun girly things of the 1960's such as the dance fads plus hair and clothes fashion of the 'go-go girl'. Please note the term 'go-go' is used in this page in reference only to the fun 1960's teenage phenomena and has absolutely nothing to do with the seedy adult world or the 1970's style of funk also known as 'go-go',

http://www.geocities.com/thehipstergogo/history.html

Extractions: What is go-go dancing and why is it called go-go? Go-go dancing was the teenage dance fad of the 1960's and originated from the jazz and rock'n'roll scenes of the 1950's and like most dance fads was condemned by the older generation as improper and immoral because of its frenzied movements. The word go-go comes from the word au-go-go and is a mixture of the French meaning "a plenty" and the American phrase "go man go". If you are able to find it in the dictionary you will probably find something along the lines of "rock'n'roll dancing in cafes usually in topless costumes"

http://www.armenianheritage.com/dasteps.htm

Extractions: Armenian Dance In every Armenian community worldwide, the traditional Western Armenian music and dance remained an important cultural factor in their community. In the United States, this popular tradition is a synthesis of two dissimilar Western Armenian styles: the urban oriental style and the rural folk style. These styles were preserved and fostered in the U.S. for decades through the picnics of the "compatriotic unions," such as Sepastatsi Vanetzi and Kharpetzi In the late 1940s, the rise of the Vosbikian Band, followed by Artie Barsamian, the Gomidas, the Norikes, etc., heralded the American-Armenian "Big Band" era. A homogeneous style of American-Armenian music developed which incorporated elements of both urban and rural traditional music and contemporary American music; e.g., Jazz and Latin rhythms. Old songs were altered to fit this new brash sound, and new songs and a new American-Armenian dance form also developed. Some of the dance steps are traditional village dance steps that have been modified to fit the music; e.g., Bar Halay Tamzara Pompuri Sepastia Bar , and Laz bar . Other dance steps have been adopted and modified from other ethnic groups such as Greek and Arabic; e.g.
