Dallas Black Dance Theatre's Boot Scootin' Boogie-ing Its 45th Anniversary Honoring The Late Charley Pride
While the spring fundraising season for many will be winding down by Memorial Day, the Dallas Black Dance Theatre will be in overdrive on Saturday, June 4, at the Meyerson to close out its 45th anniversary season.
Big Dance Encore (File photo)*Anyone who has ever attended DBT’s “The Big Dance” knows all too well that it’s an amazing presentation of music and dance. And with Co-Chairs Helen Giddings and Sheena Payne, this one may be the one to beat all.
Helen Giddings*Sheena Payne*This year’s theme, “Boot Scootin’ Boogie,” is “featuring a hometown salute to Charley Pride, the late country music icon who was honored with the 2020 CMA Lifetime achievement Award.” It is an especially poignant celebration of the singer’s legacy with his widow Rozene Pride and Grace Cook serving as honorary co-chairs.
The concert itself will feature two-time CMA and ACM Female Vocalist of the Year Janie Fricke, as well as a video tribute with Charley’s son Dion Pride paying “tribute to his father with Dallas Black Dance Theatre dancers performing.”
June Blount and Joanna Ridgway (File photo)Following the concert, the dancing will continue with guests having the opportunity to strut their two-stepping to music provided by North Texas’ own Breckenridge Band and fiddle duo June Blount. If you’ve ever heard either of these groups perform, you know it’s impossible to stay in your seat.

Funds raised from the event will benefit Dallas Black Dance Academy’s Education and Outreach programs that have resulted in area students achieving national recognition, including four DBCA students receiving full scholarships to The Julliard School’s dance program.
In the past ten years, 100% of DBCA students have graduated from high school and attended college.

LIFE IS BRIGHTER - WHEN YOU DANCE BOOGIE WOOGIE! Boogie woogie is a positive and drive, crazy music and dance energy!
Boogie Woogie is a European interpretation of Swing and, accordingly, differs from the Lindy Hop in its performance style, since it is more compact, restrained, and also geometrically correct. A feature of this dance was the ability of the dancer to show movements on relaxed, but at the same time elastic legs. This "drive in the legs" fascinated absolutely everyone.
The main period of development of boogie-woogie dance falls on the end of the forties - the beginning of the fifties . During World War II, American soldiers brought swing dancing to Europe. The Europeans reworked them, taking as a basis for the dance form, which we now call Boogie Woogie .
With the advent of the twist , boogie-woogie was temporarily forgotten by everyone, except for professional dancers - competitive forms-synonyms of boogie-woogie appeared in Europe - jiverock and acrobatic roll.
Boogie-woogie is now called the European version of swing dancing.
Boogie-woogie is a pair dance of free composition, performed at a moderately fast pace (4/4 time signature), characterized by a lack of order in dance movements; music style - jazz; originated in the 1920s based on the boogie-woogie piano.
Speaking of boogie-woogie, it is impossible not to remember the incomparable Elvis , whose chic « rubber feet "made more than one European woman tremble in her sleep, not to mention American women.
Currently Boogie-woogie is danced all over the world with slight stylistic differences: in clubs and in competitions, mainly to original music from the 40s - 50s - Boogie-woogie, rhythm'n' blues, rock and roll, twist.
World championships and cups in boogie-woogie and other international tournaments are regularly held.
Recently, this dance has changed somewhat, it is danced very rhythmically, but at the same time quite gracefully. The movements are performed on the entire foot, and the partners in the dance are somewhat distant from each other and are in a closed position.
Like a social dance boogie - woogie is an excellent means of communication between people. There are no strict memorized sequences of movements. The main thing is improvisation and interaction in pairs.
Boogie Woogie is a bright, incendiary dance for couples, with cheerful music and an appropriate mood. During its already long history of existence, Boogie Woogie dance has conquered a large number of people from different countries and different generations.
Despite the fact that the dance is many years old and, it would seem, its rush hour should have passed, but in every city you can easily find lovers and true connoisseurs of dance and jazz music who are looking for any opportunity to dance this wonderful fast and energetic dance.

It is characterized by the fact that the couple does not know in advance the music to which they will dance, so the dance is based on improvisation, the success of which is evaluated by the judges along with the dance technique, dance figures and the presentation of the dancers. The task of the dancers is to insert the pre-worked out choreography as successfully as possible into the music that they got.

Differences from other sports
Boogie-woogie is considered to be an "artistic form of dance" - it requires the dancer to have such qualities that are characteristic of most sports. To perform boogie-woogie you need:
-
Physical strength
The competition program necessarily includes acrobatic figures and lifts, the performance of which requires good physical preparation from the athletes.
-
Musicality
All Boogie-Woogie competitors must demonstrate an understanding of musical structure, rhythm, beat, small and large musicality.
-
Flexibility and coordination
These qualities are essential for drawing figures and lines. Multiple rotations, splits and half splits are always present in the dancers' programs.
-
Discipline and team spirit
Boogie-woogie is a team sport. A team can be one couple. A team can consist of 12 members (6 couples) in formation competitions. The requirements for the discipline of 12 people performing synchronously complex figures, and at the same time constantly coordinating their position on the floor relative to other team members, are much higher compared to other sports.
-
Endurance
Boogie-woogie competitions are held in several rounds - from preliminary to semi-final and final. In each round, dancers must perform a dance with a duration of 1 min 30 and a speed of 200 to 208 bpm.
A 1996 study found that the degree of muscle tension and breathing rate of dancers who performed one dance was similar to that of cyclists, swimmers, and sprinters (over the same time period). -
Grace and style
Like ice dancing and rhythmic gymnastics, in boogie-woogie an important component of success is the smooth movement and attractive appearance of the couple. However, unlike most other sports, boogie-woogie dance has features that make it not only a sport, but also an art.
Boogie-woogie training is very important:
- develops strength and flexibility;
- contributes to the development of grace, elegance, freedom of movement;
- improves physique, makes a person slim and fit;
- improves physical performance;
- creates a feeling of physical and mental relaxation;
- allows you to improve more successfully in other sports;
- improves coordination of movements;
- enriches knowledge about sports and sports recreation;
- develops a sense of rhythm;
- instills the quality of composure
