Latin American Dance Review
Latin American Dance Review
Our Latin American Dance Review. Go!
At the mention of Latin American dances, temperamental dancing couples instantly appear in the musical memory, surrendering to the accompaniment melody with every turn of the head, every spectacular step. People in Latin America love and know how to dance, and they are happy to fill their home leisure with dancing, and successfully demonstrate their dancing abilities on the street to random passers-by.
Charming Lambada
Lambada's birthplace is Papa State in Brazil. The appearance of this dance caused at one time a storm of indignation in society. Defenders of morality insisted that the dance almost promotes pornography. However, over time, the passions subsided, and the unpretentious beautiful melody performed by the French group Kaoma has been involving all new couples in an incendiary fast dance for more than a decade. Lambada is refined, gentle, it easily relieves stress and cheers up more
Zouk - a passionate French "party"
There are Brazilian and Franco-Caribbean dances.
Its peculiarity is the execution of movements both in close contact of partners, and at a considerable distance from each other in such a way: first - the movement of the hips, then the dancer's body moves, as if catching up with the hips. These characteristic movements give the dance composition a special sensuality.
Depending on the musical preferences of the performers, the dance can consist of a variety of rotations, bends, turning into intricacies of complex steps. Another stylistic feature of the pair dance zouk is a special way of leading the partner in the dance, when she, bending, throws her head back below the waist, while swaying her hair from one side to the other further
Passion and bliss Bolero
If speech comes to the bolero, then you need to understand that there are two completely different dances under the same name.
More famous is the Spanish bolero. The restrained rhythm and characteristic melodic structure seem to hold back, do not allow the performer's emotions and passions to break out. Spanish dance appeared earlier and largely influenced the emergence of the Cuban version of the dance.
In Cuba, the bolero is performed in a completely different style. It is a slow dance full of grace and languid bliss, romantic.
From the Spanish bolero, the Cuban dance adopted several elements of the Spanish habanera and some dance steps of the danzón. next
The attractive charm of Kizuba
A unique characteristic feature of Kizuba is a direct slow -down, as if stretching musical accompaniment performed on modern power tools. This dance gave its name to a whole musical direction. The musical themes in kizomba, which are a cocktail of bizarre African rhythms and romantic languid melody, replace each other every four measures. In terms of musical presentation, kizomba is very similar to zouk melodies. There was a time when it was believed that songs sung in Portuguese in the style of kiomba were kiomba. If the song sounded in French, then this is already a zouk. next
Rumba. A story about true passion
For quite a long time, the rumba was a dance of newlyweds in Cuba. In it, a loving couple expressed passion and a strong emotional upsurge of lovers. This is a dance of love, full of sensuality and extremely expressive emotions.
Among the entire list of ballroom dances, rumba stands out for its deepest emotional content. Performers and spectators get aesthetic pleasure from dance due to the unique combination of dramatic music and bright, emotional character of movements. Rumba has long been recognized as a dance of love, but unhappy love, with a touch of tragic passion. next
The burning passion of the Argentinean tango
Tango tango is considered the Argentine tango. This beautiful and expressive dance, accompanied by the bewitching sounds of musical accompaniment, cannot but delight. At first, tango was considered an almost immoral dance against the backdrop of cutesy salon dances of the 19th century, but over time, society recognized and appreciated its merits. There are several directions and varieties of this dance in the world, but it is the Argentine tango that has been declared the recognized king of the style.
This is a couples dance filled with juicy musical sound, whimsical melodic turns combined with a clearly defined rhythm. Further
CHA-THE-CA-CO-COCETOTS
The dance is very popular all over the world, it is part of the professional contest of bell dancing performers (its Latino-American unit). Cha - cha - cha in its basic movements is very similar to rumba and in some moments is very similar to mambo. In this dance, a special role belongs to the female part. The expressive rhythm and exquisite charm of flirtatious movements embodies the real grace and passion of the dance, in the movements one can easily read the history of the relationship between a man and a woman. next
Salsa
Hot and passionate, dance from the first sounds involves the performers and spectators in delightful rhythms of the Latin American continent. Salsa combines several types and directions of modern local ethnic dances, so it does not have any standards and rules. Each option - and there are an incredible number of them - has its own unique pattern and peculiar rhythm. Whatever type of salsa is performed, it is always attractive and interesting for the dancers themselves and grateful spectators. next
BACHATION Musical interweaving
This is an unusually beautiful, sensual, slightly erotic Latin American dance first called "Gorechi Tannaya". Today, bachata is perhaps the most popular social dance in the world.
The main law of dance is the close contact of partners. This greatly helps the dancers to make sliding air movements in a circle, as if wrapping their arms around each other with intertwined hands connected in a “castle”. The dance step is quite simple, its basic basis is steps forward, backward and sideways (four steps), clearly emphasizing the last of the steps.
Initially, bachata was performed as a folk dance, so the choreography here is quite unpretentious. However, for a good performance of bachata, it is necessary not only to mechanically perform its elements, but it is necessary to feel the dance with all your heart and be able to surrender to the performance with every cell of the body. further
Merengue. Air rhythms of the Caribbean
The countries of the Caribbean are considered to be the birthplace of the dance composition, it is the national dance of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Paired sensual merengue is incredibly popular throughout the Latin American continent, from where it began its rapid spread to other countries. It probably got its name from the name of the cake (“merengue” - meringue), since the even and precise rhythm of the dance is very reminiscent of beating eggs in the process of making a cake.
The dance is mostly improvisational, with a touch of flirtation and eroticism. Along with paired elements, performers can demonstrate some solo steps, bringing their skills to the attention of the audience and a partner and competing in the art of merengue performance. more
Latin American dances. Dance school in Moscow. It's Latin!
Salsa, cha-cha-cha, bachata, mambo, merengue, rumba, samba - one mention of these Latin American dances in our dance school in Moscow awakens the imagination, energy arises, the desire to move rhythmically, feel the south wind, the sound of the surf, a feeling of passion, love ...
The magic of Latin American music and dance lies in their folk roots, in the lifestyle of the inhabitants of the Caribbean, where dance has always been culture, traditions, expressing the passion of the soul of the southern people.
That's why Latin dance classes awaken ease of communication, enthusiasm and joy of movement, passion and emotions, sometimes reaching the "boiling point". Their popularity among Europeans is largely due to what we sometimes lack, and dance allows us to express this energy locked inside, giving free rein to desires and aspirations.
Thanks to this, Latin dances develop freedom of expression, assertiveness and confidence, a tendency to be active and initiative, the ability to harmoniously express one's eroticism in a rich improvisation of body movements.
Latin America, the countries of the Caribbean Sea gave a huge amount of incendiary music and dances. Their common feature is that they were born among the common people and at first aroused contempt in cultural Europe, being considered vulgar and indecent. However, over time, developing, merging with the rhythms of other peoples - European and African, these Latin dances became more and more popular, and today they have a huge number of fans all over the world. Our dance school for adults in Moscow is one of them.
Salsa dance
The origins of salsa are not only the rhythms of the Cuban folk dance Guajira, but also the music of African slaves brought to America by the Spanish colonialists.
African musical culture is distinguished by its attention to musical rhythm, being an indispensable component of various rituals, from religious to everyday, it uses polyrhythm, rhythmic polyphony, cross-rhythm.
Salsa refers to a mixture of a wide variety of Latin American styles and rhythms, including guaracha, cha-cha-cha, pachanga, and rumba, and mambo, and more. This is a real "hot sauce" of the rhythms and sounds of a sultry sunny tropical summer, the chirping of birds and the sound of the surf, the ocean wind and the rustle of palm trees.
Thus, African music is freer than European music and has more room for improvisation. Natives of Africa, being far from their homeland, carefully preserved their cultural traditions, but also gradually mastered the culture of white people. European music brought melody and harmony, minor and major standards, solo melodic beginning to African rhythms. This is how jazz was born.
At the very beginning of the 20th century, the musical style "Son" appeared in Cuba, in which elements of African, Cuban and Latin American music were combined. At first it was banned, after the First World War it gradually changed and only in 1920-30. began to gain popularity.
Mambo dance
In the 1940s, Cuban music was greatly influenced by jazz. In turn, jazz bands began to play Cuban music in their own interpretation. Perez Prado, a Cuban by birth who lived in Mexico after the war, created a style that combined Cuban music and jazz. Thanks to him, the traditional Cuban "danzon" turned into something completely new - the dance "Mambo" appeared.
Mambo is a Cuban musical form and dance style that has reached popularity in Havana, Mexico City and New York. The word Mambo means "conversation with the gods" in the Kikongo language, which was spoken by the Central African slaves brought to Cuba by the colonialists.
Other sources attribute the name "mambo" to voodoo sorcerers who could put a person into a hypnotic trance. Mambo music was believed to contain some of this magic.
Mambo music and songs are said to have originated from a song called "Mambo" written in 1938 AD Orestes and Cachao Lopez. The song was a danzón derived from the European social dances of English, French and Spanish, but it also used rhythms from African folk music.
According to another version, Odilio Uffe and Arsenio Rodriguez are considered the fathers of mambo. Be that as it may, the music was recorded in 1945 in Mexico by the famous orchestra of the Cuban Perez Prado. And in the 50s, mambo music and dance became extremely popular. The famous "Mambo Kings": musicians Perez Prado, Tito Puente, Israel Lopez Cachao, Machito, outstanding mambo singers Benny Moore, Celia Cruz.
Initially, the mambo dance was even condemned by the Catholic Church in a number of Latin American countries or banned by the authorities in others. But, nevertheless, the number of dance fans grew every day. We also dance this dynamic dance in the latino solo program at the dance school in Moscow.
Cha-cha-cha dance
And in 1948, another composer, Enrique Horrin, combined two Cuban rhythms danzón and montuño, and wrote the song Enganadora, which means "Cheat". This new musical rhythm gave birth to the Cha-cha-cha dance. Various combinations of fast and slow steps, syncopated rhythms to the music of Cha-cha-cha awaken a cheerful, playful mood, and the dance itself turns out to be mobile, bright, sparkling.
In the late 1950s, after the revolution, many Cuban musicians left their homeland and moved to New York. Here Cuban music was influenced by various Puerto Rican melodies and American jazz. This musical direction quickly became popular thanks to the creativity of various bands and even large orchestras, using both traditional musical instruments and specific Cuban ones. All this determined the style of a new musical direction - salsa-metropolitan ("capital salsa").
After a brief oblivion in the 60s of the last century due to the huge popularity of the Beatles, Latin American music has returned and is now popular and loved - many singers and musicians use Afro-Cuban rhythms in their work.
Merengue dance
The merengue was presented by the Dominican Republic. Meringue melodies are rhythmic and create a cheerful mood, convey the atmosphere of an eternal tropical holiday and natural abundance. The simple rhythmic pattern of this music makes it very easy to master the figures of the merengue dance. Simple steps, a characteristic swaying of the hips, allow you to create beautiful chains of movements both in solo Latin dance and in Latin dances in a pair, where very interesting weaves in the hands are added.
Rumba dance
The old Cuban folk dance "Guajira", whose name gave the name to a wooden musical instrument, served as the basis for another beautiful Latin American dance - "rumba". Many elements of guajira passed into rumba almost in their original form.
The famous song Guantanamera, written by Joséito Fernandens, can rightfully be considered a rumba classic. The verb rumbare is Cuban for "to dance" and often means "dance party" which may include music from various Cuban dances. The Spanish-speaking inhabitants of Latin America still have such a name as "bolero-rumba", "square-rumba". When at the end of 19In the 40s, rumba became known in Europe and the USA, it was called "Cuban rumba".
But no matter how the dances differ in choreography, they are united by beautiful music and a simple, romantic and at the same time refined rhythm with exciting sounds of guajira. The rhythm of Rumba is able to awaken strength, confidence, sensuality, simplicity and purity of relationships.
Samba dance
Samba was born on the coast of South America. The Portuguese, being the discoverers of these places, developing new lands, brought with them black slaves from the colonies of southwestern Africa. A bay on the American coast in the delta of a huge river was called Rio de Janeiro ("January River"), the region was originally called Bahia, and later turned into the country "Brazil".
The samba dance is a wonderful cocktail of Latin American and African rhythms. The rhythm of the African batiko drums helped the dancers shake off their fatigue after a long day at work. Africans called their dance "semba" and danced it barefoot. "Impregnated" with the rhythms of the American land, the dance gradually turned into a magnificent "samba". Bright and festive, samba has rightfully become the "calling card" and pride of Brazil.
Of course, what we see at festivals and carnivals in Rio de Janeiro differs from the performance known to us from competitive ballroom dancing.
