A very Happy New Year 2010 to all avid readers!!! I wish all visitors to this blog fulfil dreams and goals, may you get opportunity to explore new boulevards, imbibe trust, belief, and may you get gifted with bright and happy moments.
This new year, let me start off with writing which represents different emotions of worldly beings.
Dance - one can consider it as a non verbal communication between humans or animals. One can also explain the correct definition of dance depending on the social, artistic, aesthetic or moral constraints. Dance have evolved many styles - Breakdance and Krumping are related to Hip-Hop, African dance is interpretive while Ballroom has many forms of dance evolved in it. India-the land of diversity, has dance forms to each of its diverse religion. To know more about Indian dance forms, I request you to visit www.culturalindia.net/indian-dance/index.html
Dance evinces love, life, celebrations and it also reveals melancholy, ferocity, anxiety or agony - Succinctly, it can represent any emotion of life.
Here, I love to share some information on Ballroom Dance forms along with its relation to conventional human emotions.
There are many Ballroom dance forms, nevertheless, due to my limited knowledge on them, I have listed a few here along with video templates of each dance forms. I hope you would like it as much as I and my friends enjoyed practicing these forms :)
Consider the situation where a man meets a beautiful lady at a club and they spontaneously fall in love. The man asks her for a dance and they both start dancing Waltz.
Thereafter, they start sharing the gleeful moments of everyday life. To represent this in the form of a dance filled with fun and festive, they dance is Samba-a Brazillian dance form.
The man now decides to propose the lady. Awaiting for this beautiful moment of her life, the lady immediately says yes to the man on his proposal. They now celebrate their happiness dancing Jive, a dance form originated in the US by African-Americans.
The days went on and the lovers fall in petty tiffs on small issues. Consider the situation where the man makes his lady love wait for long at a cafe for a rendezvous, due to some reason (say, traffic on way). After unsuccessful attempts to convince his lady, they both express their belligerent emotion in the form of a dance - Tango, an African dance. Tango means bringing the two together and resuscitating their love :)
Any dance can also be combined with other and give it a new name. For ex: "Salsa Sutra". Salsa is a Latin dance form from New York and Sutra is a Sanskrit word which means the scriptural narration. Lets us now see how these two forms combine to make an entertainment.
PS: Dear readers, I have been away from my writings for a long time. This was because of being occupied with something or other. Going forward, I will try to keep myself regular here. I am trying to keep my blog up to date :) Thanks for spending time in reading here. See you soon again!
