One Thing Ive Heard Many People Say About Lindy

Hop is that it is a street dance and I’ve always heard them say this with a certain amount of pride. It’s clear from the tone of voice that they believe that dancing a street dance rather than some other form of dance lends them a certain cachet and they will sometimes criticize other members of the Lindy community are no no the street dancers don’t wear dance shoes or all that kind of dance shoes. Those belong in a dance studio and yeah we we are we’re we’re cool right because we dance a street dance and street dance is just innately cooler than other forms of dance because because I just are what yeah I question this is it so great to dance a street dance, what is a street dance anyway is it literally danced in the street. No no that’s just just how to get killed Don’t be silly. Hip hop is commonly described as a street dance and this was developed in Manhattan.

I Believe And I Think Youll Find That

the streets of Manhattan. They’re really quite crowded with traffic and it’d be a very dangerous place to dance. No you’re not literally dancing in the street maybe near the street is it the pavement or sidewalk dance, but that perhaps it’s acting a hip hop actually did being danced in a pedestrianised zone, but perhaps pedestrianised zone dance doesn’t quite have the image that people want what is a street dance well. some people say that it’s a dance which has no formal tuition involved in which case Lindy Hop is so definitely not a street dance pretty much. Everybody who Lindy Hop today has taken an awful lot of classes and they’ve.

Been To Dance Studios And Theyve Taking

formal classes which they’ve paid for. They have a beginning at the end and a teacher at the front maybe with a microphone. Now we’re all going to do this. It’s oh so definitely you know a talk dance for almost everyone who practices it now so Lindy Hop is not a street dancing in that sense, um whatever street does well let’s see now who danced it back in the day. While it was the 1920s and 30s back in those days.

Pretty Much Everyone Had Ballroom Skills.

They could all do Waltz and Foxtrot and things and if you played them jazz music, then they started adapting those skills and what you get is Lindy Hop um jobs really ballroom dance isn’t it let’s look at the evidence. The people who danced it had ballroom skills what were they wearing well. They’re all generally dressed up in there and their Sunday best, so they all do just for the ballroom where do they do it. All they did it in ballrooms, the Savoy Ballroom, the Alhambra ballroom, the Roseland Ballroom.

All These Various Ballrooms, For Instance That

we’re constantly told of the crucible of Lindy Hop in Harlem. In the 1920s and 30s they’re all ballrooms. These people would go out in the evening wearing the nice clothes using ballroom skills and danced a ballroom dance in a ballroom what what I mean it’s a ballroom dance well. It’s a ballroom dance in the sense that you have couples one man, one woman lead and follow connection. All these skills are very much in the European tradition of ballroom dancing and then you have didn’t just appear in a vacuum.

These People Had Already Got A Long Tradition

of dancing in. Couples in the European Way that tradition doesn’t come from Africa Doesn’t come from anywhere else now that’s a European thing and they were dancing to bands and the bands in those days would be immaculately dressed all in ties and and coattails and so forth and the conductor at the front and the the instruments that they were they were using We’re all you know European instruments that you might see in an orchestra trumpets and trombones and stuff so dance by ballroom dancers wearing boring clothes in ballrooms and today very definitely taught in classes and so forth. Now it’s true that there are no formal exams in Lindy HOp that I know about sometimes when I get booked to teach at a school. I get asked by this school will I provide them with certificates for my qualifications for teaching Lindy HOp and I have to say. to them well Actually there are no certificates because there are no qualifications which I think is a rather good thing.

Actually I Feel Freer Because Of It,

I’m definitely glad to be part of what I consider to be a living dance. People coming up with new ways of Lindy hopping and new moves all the time. But I don’t know that that necessarily means that it’s a street dance and I don’t feel that I’m a street dancer. I don’t feel that I’m doing a street.
