交谊舞和国标舞虽然有相同的舞步,却有太大的不同,学习的过程也大大的不同。交谊舞的学习,礼节和舞步很重要,参加SOCIAL DANCING 的舞会,对服装,化妆的要求都很高,要让人看着舒服,舞要跳的正规,男士要大气,跳的好的男士要照顾在场的其它女士,不要老和跳的好的女士跳,这样才会使舞会越办越好,来的人也越来越多；女士也同样,不要因为跳的好,就随便拒绝男士真诚的邀请。和越多的人跳,经验越丰富,朋友也越多。好的SOCIAL DANCER 都有很多位跳得来的舞伴,成为一个圈子,大家常相约舞场,其乐融融。很多人的SOCIAL DANCING 都是在舞会上学到的,当然也有参加交谊舞的培训班等等。



竞技国标的舞者就不是这么回事,从学舞一开始他们往往就找好了自己认为最好的启蒙教练。没有好的教练,就不可能有好的开始,非正规的习惯一但养成,改起来就很不容易。训练的场地通常也不会是舞会等等。尽管有很多参赛者也去舞会借场地训练,因为毕竟单独租场地是很贵的。但是,这对其他的SOCIAL DANCER 是不公平的。就好象是学声乐的人  去卡拉OK 练习唱歌一样。影响到跳交谊舞的人的正常活动。笔者曾经也去过SOCIAL DANCING 的舞会练习,一是不敢放开来跳,怕弄不好碰倒了其他人。二是一遍遍的跳重复的动作,别人看着奇怪。曾经有一位跳拉丁的朋友,也常和我们去同一个SOCIAL DANCING 的场地练习,他一来就是练习站立,一站一小时,好比太极中的站桩。然后他要练习RUMBA WALK ,一练也是半小时,他的舞伴也是同样。然后他们就提了包走人了。其他的人都很奇怪,问我他们是不是有毛病？来了面壁而站,然后走上一阵子就完事了。这叫什么练舞啊？我大笑起来。想想也是啊,在SOCIAL DANCERS 的眼里,这真是不太正常。其实他们只不过是借场地练习基本功,这样好不影响其它的人跳舞。结果还被人误认为有毛病。而我呢,常常一身运动服去SOCIAL DANCING 的场地。同样是和周围的风景不协调,其实也是不太好。只不过大家熟悉了,慢慢他们了解到我们是他们的异类,见多不怪。且同情我们穷,让一块场地给我们练习。比赛的时候,也有一些来自SOCIAL DANCING 的朋友前来助威。这也就是相互理解了。



因此,交谊舞和竞技的国标舞可以说是不同。在舞蹈在线很多朋友交流的时候,发现有些朋友常把交谊舞和竞技的国标舞看成是一码事,交谊舞者很难和竞技国标舞者交流技巧,因为着重点完全不相同。参赛的国标舞者也不要以为会跳国标,在交谊舞会上就能成为佼佼者,我们常常因为不懂规矩而显得有点怪。有一次参加新年的舞会,有一位女士过来指责笔者的的舞伴,“你很会跳舞的样子,怎么就和一个人跳,怎么其它的女士都不够漂亮吗？”可怜的舞伴试着去带其它的女士,结果是踩了人家的脚,回来说,“她们不知道怎么后退。”我说,“那是你不知道怎么跳交谊舞。”我也是一样啊,有礼貌的男士过来邀舞,笔者很想好好跳,可是却不知道怎么FOLLOW,我真的不会跳交谊舞。真是不好意思啊,所以要参加舞会,真的还是要好好学习一下交谊舞才好。



交谊舞和竞技的国标舞是姊妹舞种,有不同的个性和风格,这两种舞者在讨论的时候要明白讨论的并不是同一种舞。练习这两种舞的时候也不同,交谊舞者不必要用竞技舞者的方法来练习,而竞技国标舞者更不能用交谊舞的方法来练习。光靠在舞厅跳舞是跳不好体育舞蹈的。



想学习跳舞的人,也要知道学舞有多种,是要娱乐呢？还是比赛？要知道这是两个完全不同的方向。当然,很多学交谊舞的人改学体育舞蹈,很多参赛者改跳交谊舞,这都有一个改行的学习过程,也不是一天就能改过来的。无论怎么改,都要忘记以前的老习惯,从头开始,才能完全进入另一种舞蹈的境界,要不只能弄个四不象。

加拿大属於Alain & Anik

Alain Doucet & Anik Jolicoeur是加拿大的骄傲。他们是唯一一对曾经赢得世界冠军头衔的加拿大人，已经连续四年得到世界职业十项舞冠军的称号。不仅如此，他们目前还拥有加拿大全国职业摩登，拉丁和十项舞冠军头衔。现在你可以说他们就代表了加拿大。上一次在有人能在他的国家同时得到两项第一已经是很多年前的事情了。
八十年代，在职业和业余领域，加拿大似乎都产生了大部分北美最好的选手，甚至世界最好的选手。Alain & Anik基本上是那个时代的产品。我问他们对加拿大面临的问题有何感觉，什么导致加拿大今天人才缺乏的局面，他们提供了一些有趣的看法。
我也问到了Alain“坏男孩”的名声，那全都是谣传还是有一部分是真实的？当然了，我还问了他们觉得还能统治加拿大舞蹈界多少年。
要知道答案和其它更多的东西吗，请继续读......

DB：你们成为世界冠军已经有多少年了？
Alain：已经三年(现在四年了)

DB：你们什么时候开始跳舞的？
Alain：我是在五岁时开始的，所以现在已经跳了挺长一段时间了。我妻子是六岁时开始跳舞的，因此我的经验比她更丰富些。
Anik：我可以插一句吗？也许他的经验更多，但他学得更慢！

DB：那是你们父母把你们送到舞蹈班上去的吗？
Anik：我父母跳舞，我姐姐也跳舞--我到处跟着他们。
DB：我记得我还看过你父母跳舞呢。Alain你呢？
Alain：我姐姐开始跳舞，我表姐France (Mousseau)也跳舞，所以我也开始了。

DB：你们肯定都有过其他舞伴，有多少个？
Alain：我只有过两个，第二个舞伴正坐在我旁边。
Anik：我也是一样。从六岁到十一岁我有一个舞伴，然后就和Alain在一起了。

DB：你姐姐以前也跳舞的，但她现在还在跳吗？
Anik：她重新开始了。她停了十年，然后又和Danny Quilliam重新开始了。

DB：你们一直跳十项舞，但看起来摩登是你们的强项。
Alain：从成绩看是这样。但说到底我们也不知道我们算哪边，有时候我们觉得更象是拉丁选手。所以我跳十项舞。
Anik：我们一直跳十项舞，这是我们赚钱的地方。

DB：你们曾经考虑过只选择一种吗？
Alain：我们从来都是跳十项舞的人。当我们开始跳舞时大家都这样，这星期上拉丁大课，下星期上摩登大课。我们是被当作十项舞者培养起来的，我甚至从来都没有考虑过要选择其中一项放弃另一项。
Anik：人们经常问我们是否愿意作个选择，我们从来都说不。有一星期我们的摩登跳不好，我们还有拉丁可以依靠，下一个星期又反过来。我们总是可以练习。
Alain：最近这几年并不容易。我们去的比赛越多，越是意识到跳十项舞的人已经不多了。这对我们不利，但我们还要继续下去。

DB：人们现在更专注了。你们得更努力才能跟那些专项的人竞争。
Alain：当然了，我们得花多一倍的努力。不过也许他们花四十个小时练拉丁，但我们只能在每项上花二十个小时。
Anik：有时候我们在拉丁上学到的东西对摩登也有帮助，反过来也一样。即使我们在摩登上花了十个小时，我们也不觉得忽视了拉丁，我们对它的理解会加深。
Alain：我最近和Ron Montez上了一节课，他说“你跳摩登时做了些什么，在拉丁中也得一样。”它们彼此促进。

DB：你们现在是加拿大的摩登冠军。你们也是拉丁冠军吗？
Alain：我们是摩登冠军已经六七年了，得拉丁冠军有三年。

DB：所以你们简直“就是”加拿大啦！
Anik：在加拿大，现在两项职业比赛都只有半决赛，跟美国不一样。所有以前比赛的选手，Jean Marc & France，还有Pierre (Allaire) & Mireille (Veilleux) 都退休了。也看不到什么新人出现。我们不喜欢这样。我们曾经希望Stephan (Champagne)和Manon (Hurteau)不要退休，因为我们需要动力。
Alain：我非常喜欢比赛。当竞争激烈时我就能找到感觉。我们仍然喜欢在加拿大比赛，但现在很难找到动力和挑战了。我一向是这样的，有挑战的时候才能工作。
Anik：我们是加拿大的第一对世界冠军，我们感觉就好像帮着把加拿大在地图上标了出来。现在在世界锦标赛上也能看到更多的加拿大裁判了。我们不希望我们离开它时它又走下坡路。

DB：你觉得加拿大舞蹈为什么在退步呢？加拿大曾经比美国强。
Alain：你真的要我说出来吗？加拿大是个跳舞的好地方。美国现在有出色的教练和出色的选手，可是说到底有多少是美国人？昨天(美国公开赛)是精彩的比赛，可是有多少是真正的美国人？

DB：的确是不多，可是没有人百分百是。美国宪法本来就是基於移民的。
Alain：加拿大就不接受这样。Denis & Adele (Trembley)曾经想代表加拿大跳舞，但是没办到。
Anik：加拿大当时规定很严格。Benoit &Lorraine (Drolet)也曾想代表加拿大跳舞，但因为Lorraine是英国人，他们不能这样做。如果加拿大能把大门打开，更多的人就会来到加拿大。这是美国现在这么强的原因，因为大门是打开的。

Social style ballroom dancing is only popular in North America.
If I am not mistaken, in Asian and European ballroom dance clubs,
they dance mainly(or exclusively) international style.

If you say that international style dancers only dance with their own partners,
then it means that in Asia & Europe they don’t dance with other people.
I find it hard to believe.
Isn’t it also quite boring ?

I would think that you refer to COMPETITIVE international style dancers,
as opposed to non-competitive international style dancers,
about not being able to dance socially with others.

By the way, does the “DB” refer to “dance beat” in your article on Alain ?

拉丁，（试以伦巴为例），是爱情的舞蹈，抒情浪漫，表现枝巧上，可简单归纳为压、拉、收、发、放。

压，将万千柔情，萃炼于一点。

技术要点是重心要低，而人不能低，靠身体的伸展、收缩；双脚对地有千钧之力，给人以稳如泰山感觉。

拉，二人之间似有一根无形的柔索，将思念无限牵引-----

收，久别重逢，如旱苗甘露。

收和拉的技术要点是，表现的是男女之间若即若离，缠绵悱恻的“万有引力”；二人之间似有一支点，以支点为轴心，缓缓地去，缓缓地来-----延续不断，无休无止！

发，浓情暴发，似地动山摇，憾人肺腑。

压拉收的最终是为了“发”！技术要求是，“静如处子，动如出兔”，轴心要正，脚步要稳，没有碎步，停顿时，斩钉截铁。

放，当一切远去，依然四目相对，耦断丝连----

总而言之，“压”，要稳；“收”“拉”，要柔；“发”，要刚；“放”，要痴。

哈哈，感慨！以前上大学时练过一段国标，当时我们学校有国标舞队，我们学校也是以舞蹈水平高著称。加上自己的爱好，从大二到大四一直好舞学舞，在最后大四一年跟当地国际职业国标舞获奖者练过一段现代舞（华尔兹，维也纳华尔兹，探戈...）和拉丁物(cha-cha-cha,伦巴...) 毕业以后一工作就丢掉了。今天看到这个帖子真有一种怀旧的感觉。如果有什么活动，需要帮我，一定要招呼一声，比一定要跳（说实话，起码现在没有舞伴，我指国标舞），给你们做做义工，看看你们跳舞就很满足了。

Guys, cheers!!

乡村舞会【法国】雷诺阿

作者: dancelovers 时间: 2003-6-23 14:16
wink eek! 交谊舞和国标舞是两个完全不同的概念，交谊舞是指传统的华尔姿、探戈等宫廷社交舞蹈和民间自娱性的交际舞蹈。国标舞是一个简称，它的标准称谓应该是：国际标准舞，是指在传统的交际舞基础上发展出来的一种表演性舞蹈，它的动作有独特的规范，讲究技巧性，花样复杂，并且以比赛为主要方式。国际标准舞现在已经成为一种融合了表演和竞技的舞蹈。当然，一些国际舞的爱好者学习国际舞并不是为了参加比赛，而是追求一种美，这是很值得赞赏的。用一句话说，交际舞是传统的自娱之舞，国标舞是新型的、以比赛为主要方式的竞技之舞。

Dancelovers,
It is nice of you to post the dance competition schedule. Are you going to any of those comp ?
Most of use probably don't have the money nor time to go to all those cities to watch.
Do you know if those competitions will be shown on TV anywhere ?
If you have the tapes of the comp, maybe you can lend us to watch.
That would certainly be fun to watch.

探戈和一般擺盪的舞蹈有幾個不同的特色：

1. 握持較緊密。

2. 膝蓋較彎曲(因雙腳膝蓋稍微合併，右腳稍微內扣)。

3. 出左腳時，保持反身動作位置(C.B.M.P.)。

4. 沒有擺盪或傾斜，只有身體轉。

5. 腳沒有迴旋轉(foot no swivel)。

6. 斷音(指腳到時，必須迅速停，而身體須繼續)。

7. 退後步不用腳尖，只用腳掌到腳跟，以免產生升降。

8. 腳板從甲地到乙地時，要稍微離開地面。

rumba的诠释

她站在丛林中，安静、独立、沉着，散发着动物的魅力，这魅力像气氛一样笼罩着她全身，向四面八方发射。她不求引人注目，不用操纵或者诡计就能受到注意。月光下，她滑溜溜的毛皮黑亮有光，肌肉纤维在皮肤底下抽动，像火石上打出火花，却是在暗示一种强力，闪电般从体内飞迸而出。她凶猛，但不残酷；高贵，但不骄傲；迷人，但绝非卖弄风情。
突然，有一股看不见的力量使她一跃而起，通过她的目光集中点和动作联系起来。从她那翡翠玛瑙般的眼睛看得出她的激情、她的灵魂之火在慢慢燃烧。她在阴影中看到什么？莫不是可以与她的辉煌媲美的伙伴？他的雄风能够释放她温柔的心灵？或者被她的利爪熟练的一击而无力地倒在她脚下，成为捕食对象？她凭直觉懂得适时发出一击，期待着美妙时刻到来？
她一面踱着，水一般的动态像火山熔岩一样穿过她的身体流动。波浪般的动作从她的胸骨开始，通过上腹、腰骨，连绵起伏。她的动作强劲而不紧张，有力而不费劲。她壮实的脚爪轻轻着地，踏着切分节奏，好象抚摩地面；她弯曲的脊柱曲线犹如猎人的弯弓，姿势像在放弦射箭。她像蛇一样盘绕，正要准备一击，然后一跃而起，像闪电般的愤怒爆发，射向空中。
她的命运如何？她是猎人还是诱人的妖女？

已经有2年没有参加过比赛了，所有到这边的舞蹈爱好者都一定深有体会，国标舞是两个人的舞蹈，但是我的同学们现在还在继续参加比赛，9月20号的德国比赛他们一定会去的，现在北京舞蹈学院和德国的IDSF（就是世界舞蹈竞技协会）关系密切，中国的标准舞发展的很快。最关键的是，已经有人能够走出去，因为，毕竟这个舞蹈我们学习的时间还是少。这里的舞蹈爱好者门，我们应该组织起来，让会跳舞的男士遇到爱跳舞的女士，让我们大家能够找到有相同爱好的朋友。

Peixuan,
As part of the Tango festival, there will be a free outdoor show at Place des vestiges in the old port on July 9. Place des vestiges is near the train track, close to Jacques-Cartier pier.
I am not sure about the exact time. It is probably in the evening. You can check with tourist infomation booth on Jacques-Cartier pier in the old port.
There is a wide variety of Latin dances.
The ballroom Latin category consist of ChaCha, Rumba, Paso Doble, Samba, Jive.
The Latin dances that Saida talks about probably refer to Salsa, Merenge, Bachata, tropical ChaCha, which is supposed to have a different flavor than ballroom ChaCha.

You can get a taste of the dances during free introductory lessons,
usually given by dance schools as promotion to publicize their schools and attract potential students.

The dance school that organizes the Tango festival also holds free outdoor tango dancing
and free introductory clasess in the summer.
Besides the place that I mentioned on another post
"Some outdoor activities/concerts",
that school also holds the outdoor tango lessons
in the following 2 places:
1. Tango in the Parc Saint-Viateur,Outremont.
Free classes from 7:30pm to 9pm
every Sunday from June 29th to September 14th 2003.
2. Place des Vertiges in the Old Port.
Free classes from 8:30pm to 9:30pm
every Friday from August 1 to September 5, 2003.

There are also free outdoor linedancing activities,
that are mostly for fun and excercise,
less concern over exact timing or perfect techniques.
It is one great way to enjoy the outdoor in the summer evenings.
One of the most accessible places
is the one right next to Jean Drapeau metro station.
From 7pm to 11pm every Saturday, Sunday and probably Thurday too
from June 28 to August 20.

It is a 5 to 10-min walk from Outremont metro station.
You can also take a bus going west on Rosemont boulevard from Rosemont metro station.
For further infomation,
check the detailed metro map in the metro stations.

2.Place des Vertiges in the Old Port.
Get off at Champ-de-Mars Metro Station.
Go south in the direction of the old port.
Past the fountain next to the city hall.

冒昧请教一下，15 岁女孩，以前没任何基础，想从舞蹈基本功学起。主要为女孩子培养优雅气质及娱乐为目的。不知哪里有此类舞蹈学校？
据说芭蕾基本功的练习有助于身姿挺立，打下良好舞姿基础。不知暑假是否有训练班？
多谢！

I got to the salsa workshop at about 6:30pm
and it started raining.
I thought it was over before it even got a chance to start.
Fortunately the rain eased up at about 7:15pm.
The workshop eventually took place on the stage
at the St. Catherine entrance of Complex des Jardine.
There was a lot of fabulous dancers on stage,
from 3 different schools, St. Tropez, Montecristo & Tony Rouseo(?).
Yes, the lesson progressed quickly
so it might be a bit difficult to follow for complete beginners.
It didn't seem to matter
as everyone around me was having a ball.
There was this older couple next to me.
The wife was following every instruction well,
turning left, turning right, rolling her hips,
the whole work.
The husband,on the other hand, was quite confused,
but he still managed to try everything
and got into the spirit of the occasion.
The important thing is that
they both enjoyed the moment and had a great time.

rpw,
I just remember one well known Ballet school.
It is called "Ballet Divertimento-Montreal",
which is located at 3505 rue Durocher, Montreal.
(514)285-2157.
It is two streets west of Parc
and one street north of Sherbrooke.
There are several buses that stop close by as well:
the 24 bus (from the west or east) stops at the corner of Sherbrooke and Parc,
a short walk away from the studio;
the 80 and 129 buses (from the north and south) stop at the corner of Parc and Milton,
about a minute's walk away.
Map and driving directions:
http://ca.maps.yahoo.com/py/maps.py?Pyt=Tmap&ed=RohLiOp_0ToCbYJyvHt8QT9fqgyjCs9KCUfFJiSuKbRAAOvyztt6.n_d&csz=H2X+2E7&country=ca

It offers both adult and youth programs
in Ballet, Modern, Jazz and Flamenco dances.
You can bring your daughter to visit the school
to watch how the classes are conducted.
For ballet classes,
visit between 11am and 2pm on Saturday.
For Modern, Jazz and Flamenco classes,
visit between 5:30pm and 9pm Monday to Thurday.
Since your child is 15 years old,
she can enroll in "adult introduction" course.

The following is quoted from the web site:
".....
Ballet Divertimento is a non-profit school of dance
situated in the heart of the downtown core of Montreal
at 3505 Durocher Street at the corner of Milton. It is approximately 5 minutes walk from our location
to the campus of McGill University
and the performing arts complex, Place des Arts.
Our building is entirely devoted to the school,
and was renovated in 2000 to accommodate the needs of a modern dance facility.
It includes 5 studios with sprung wood dance floors,
all equipped with mirrors, barres, sound systems and new pianos.
The studios are bright and inviting spaces
with natural light cast from rows of large windows.
........
.....
The teachers on our faculty represent a broad spectrum
of international accomplishment and educational background.
They include a teacher who completed the elite diploma program of the Op閞a de Paris,
an honoured graduate of the Bolshoi Ballet Academy
and former performers, teachers and choreographers from dance companies around the world.
The staff is guided by artistic director Brydon Paige,
a renowned teacher and choreographer
who has taught and created works for prominent dance companies
in Canada, the U.S. and abroad.
Workshops are held with invited guest artists
who bring a different dimension and challenge to the students.

Ballroom dancing 基本功之感悟1 eek!

wink
ALLEN SHINGLER 课后笔记1
ALLEN AND DONNA SHINGLER 这对英国选手，在近几年的大赛中，几乎都进入了前六名，尤其是她们的FOXTROT，差不多都在第四名。能够在伦墩以外的地方上到ALLEN 的私人课，我们都觉得很开心。
每一种舞蹈，每一种运动都有它的基本功。
每一种运动都有它的基本原理和运动规则。违背了这种运动的规则，结果可以想象就是造成身体的损伤。

最近在上ALLEN SHINGLER 的课时，他也特别强调了一些我们过去从没注意过的地方，就是BALLROOM 的体育性，怎么样能让身体更自然协调地跳，怎样才能有效地运用自己的身体。

其实BALLROOM 也象其他的运动项目一样，技术一年年地在更新，很多学习BALLROOM 很多年的人感叹到，早年的那些东西如今全是不对的了。要想更和谐，更平衡，更平和（SMOOTHZER），ALLEN 这位世界前六名的选手说了很原则的几点，其中，最最深刻地留在我脑子里的有两句话。

1， LADIES， NEVER REACH WITH YOUR FOOT。
其实我不太知道怎么样去解释这句话，ALLEN 说不会跳舞的人，是用脚走，先移脚，再移重心。是脚——重心——脚的过程。这样跳舞就显得不连贯，一顿一顿的，而我们现在要做的是，重心——脚—重心，要想运行的幅度大，不是增大步子，而是要增加移动重心的距离。其实我们平时也很注意到移动重心，但是一和ALLEN 搭手，他的第一句话还是，“YOU ARE REACHING。”

我们当时只是通过一个练习来试验自己有没有用脚去找身后的地板了。用双手放在自己的肋部（RIB CADGE），做后退步，如果手上的感觉没有改变，说明后退步，没有REACH，而是用重心的移动而带动的，这样的话，你的舞伴会觉得有足够的空间来移动他的重心，反则，你手上的压力增大或缩小了，说明你的身体在前倾或后仰，都造成舞伴重心的失控而失去两人的运行空间。ALLEN 用了一小时的时间来帮助我们把这一点运用到我们的FOXTROT 种，我只要一迈步，他马上可以告诉我，我是先移动了重心，还是先移动了我的脚和腿，直到我习惯了这种行走方式。再单独调教我的舞伴，然后我们在一起试，我们走出来从没有过的轻松。我开始觉得自己有点会跳舞了。整个FOXTROT 显得SMOOTH 了很多。

2， IF YOU DON‘T BEND YOU FOUR JIONTS， YOU FOUR BLOCKS WILL。不知道从什么时候开始，BALLROOM 课开始从解剖讲起了，我们都知道我们跳舞的时候讲BLOCKS。舞者把自己分为几个BLOCKS，一是头，二是肩，三是胸肋部，四是骨盆。这也是我们常说的FOUR BLOCKS，那么FOUR JIONTS 也就是指我们的髋关节，膝关节，踝关节和趾关节。我仍然不知道怎么解释这句话才比较贴切，但是我大概能理解其中的一些道理。更多的东西只好以后边学边体会了。

为了解释以上的这两句话，ALLEN 说LUKA 的舞伴LORAINE有一次做表演，穿了一条半透明的长裤，不是为了性感，而是让观众能看到她的整条腿的动作，在整个的舞蹈中，可以看到她的腿始终是弯曲的，每一步，都能看到她的重心移动越过她的脚。（PASS THE FOOT）。也就是说，如果我们不用我们的关节来跳舞，那么我们的BLOCKS，我们的头，肩，和身体，就不能很好的保持在中正的位置上。知道我们应该弯曲我们的关节，但要怎样的用好每一个关节，又是很大的问题，只好慢慢的学习，慢慢的体会了。

用ALLEN 的方法练习FOXTROT 感觉真的很好。不过这光是重心移动就已经是很难度的任务了。

现代交谊舞的辩证思维

现代交谊舞是一种充满着辩证思维的舞蹈艺术。首先，男士和女士的搭对，就是阳刚和阴柔的艺术组合。在交谊舞舞语创作中按一定的科学规律来创作舞语词汇，来创作舞语的舞句等等，这就是我们所说的交谊舞的辩证思维。对立统一规律是交谊舞创作科学辩证思维的精髓。

现代交谊舞舞蹈语言创作的对立统一关系例举：

1．.点与线的结合***点与线的结合，我们从两个方面来简述：从个人形体动作来说，就是用科学的对立统一方法来艺术的处理形体线条的构架笔画。这就象我们写字一样，横竖撇捺和点，也就是线条和点的搭配，要适当。点是一个相对特殊的笔画，点的不好，整个舞蹈形态就会变形，失去韵味；点的精彩，；那自然就是画龙点睛。

从交谊舞舞程上来说，交谊舞的流动也有一个点与线结合的问题。交谊舞是舞蹈类别中的抒情诗，而不是“格律诗”。交谊舞的舞句是有长短的，一曲交谊舞不断的舞程线，实际上是由短短长长不同的舞句连接而成的。每个连接点就是这条线上的点。点在舞程线上错落有致的艺术处理是保证交谊舞作品字句分明、章节有序的关键。

2.长与短的结合***长短结合与点线结合有相似的地方，实际上还是有区别的。长线、短线都是线而不是点，这是范围上的区别。从舞语词汇的编排上看，在点上，通常是以一个长词汇或短词汇来表现；而在线上则通常是以几个词汇组合而成线的。

3.动与静的结合***现代交谊舞是流动的人的形体艺术语言。舞语的流动是绝对的，而不动是不存在的，因此这个静是相对的，所谓“树欲静而风不止”，形定而意不静。从理论上说，交谊舞的每一个舞语词汇都是动态的形体语言。但交谊舞的流动也不是平均速度的流来流去，而是有快有慢，慢到一定的程度就是相对的静。舞语动作的静是突出舞蹈艺术动态美的特殊表现手段。

4.快与慢的结合***快慢结合与动静结合基本原理相同，只是在程度上有些区别。快、慢、静都是在动作，但只有慢到一定的程度才为静。快慢结合则是交谊舞大量运用的组合方式。

5.起与伏的结合***起伏结合一个是指在舞蹈一般流动状态下，舞语的构词、造句应该有起有伏，体现自然的美。一个是从形体的横线条上看左右两边也有起伏。右起左落，左起右落，横线条保持一定的艺术倾斜，能体现舞语动作特殊的艺术效果。

6.高与低的结合***这个高低结合着重指舞语造型词汇构词时采用的一种辩证处理方法。以低衬高、以高补低，在不失艺术平衡的前提下，扩大形体外延的表现范围，也能造成舞语动作特殊的艺术效果。

When I went to watch a dance competition earlier this year,
I saw an outstanding young Asian couple
in the adult open standard divison.
Since Asian dancers are not very common in the dancesport comp in Montreal,
I paid special attention to their performance.
They eventually won that division convincingly.
Recently by chance I came across their names and web site.
This is a young and promising dance partnership
in the Canadian dance scene.
They seem to have the stuff to go far in this sports.

Friends club will host a dance this saturday, Aug 2, in the same location.

You people can all go there
to dance and meet fellow dance lovers.

Alternatively if you like to dance on the street
to a live band,
there will be an outdoor Latin concert, as part of Francofolies festival,
in the corner of Clark street and St. Catherine
at 8pm and 10 pm also this Saturday.

I watched that band before
and posted it under a different topic:

Just came back from the esplanade of Place des Arts.
the outdoor noon concert of the Cuban singer, Yussy Barbara Ruiz, was great.
Before the concert, I was concerned that the songs might be too hardcore Cuban
for the general public to enjoy.
It turns out that she picked some popular tunes of different styles,
fast salsa, merengue, Cha Cha, romantic rumba, even a disco song in Spanish.
There were also invited dancers on stage, really spicing up the show.
The whole place was jumping.
Great fun !

很高兴见到有高手在这里指导.本人大学毕业后,因出国而无心工作,业余跳国标,曾在地级市的比赛中取得初级组rumber第一与samber第五.
如高手所说,纯粹是追求一种美,无论partner多丑,只要跳的好,无论多漂亮,即使腰腿紧贴,也不会有其他想法.
交谊舞是80%都不一样,无论音乐,动作要求.最怕就是误去跳交谊舞的舞厅,自己不会跳却被人误解为高傲,而且还整晚无聊.
无可否认,交谊舞有好看的地方,要求相对低(无论对动作还是对partner),但如果是追求一种对身体的美,动作的美,音乐的美,我建议大家学国标,尽管经常为合适的舞伴而伤脑筋.

Hope this login name does not scare some of you, it just show my attitude to dance.As matter of fact, I love dance very much--Latin dance, swing, Waltz, etc., I used to go to the party organized by the Friend Club, but it's really hard to find an ideal partner. Though now busy with my thesis, you guys messages just aroused my passion again. Anyone interested, contact me or leave your email address, we may hang out once a week (Do Re Mi is a good place to dance insofar as I know). Try to transcend some gender ideology, and enjoy the hobby, especially in such a harsh winter. By the way, my identity: male, 1,80, downtown. Email at: tangoocheche@yahoo.ca

作者: helloman 时间: 2003-11-10 20:04
Do Re Mi is close to Jean-Talon metro station
and it has a big dance floor, so it is a good choice. The clientel is a little older.
On Saturady, it can get quite crowdy
but still less than your average salsa club
or a downtown bar.

Other choices would be harder to get to.
For example:
1. Le Dancing de Laval.
It is located at 1881 Cure Labelle, Laval.
It is about half or 2/3 the size of DoReMi
but with less people also.
http://pages.infinit.net/d71116/index.htm

2. Labamba Social Dance-hall
It is also in Laval.
It has an occasional Latino noght with live band.
http://www.labamba.qc.ca/maina.htm

There are other places
like the palladium of Brossard,
which has lousy sound system and poor lighting,
and the palladium of Longueuil, which is a little better.
Overall these 2 places are inferior to the first 3 clubs
because the buildings are not built for dance clubs.

作者: gl_s 时间: 2003-11-10 23:55
It's true that Do Re Mi might be the nearest ball room. Also true that dancers there are a bit "old".

But, well, well... How about going to Do Re Mi this Saturday?

We don't need to count people in advance. Just go and meet there.

Any other ideas?

作者: helloman 时间: 2003-11-11 14:00
I go to Do Re Mi occasionally on Saturday.
I might go this Saturday.

Do Re Mi is starting to have a Latino-Social dance night
with a live band every Friday
starting this coming Friday.
The live band this week is "Groovetown".
A free beginner's lesson on salsa and Bachata
will be given in the early evening.

I notice that salsa is rarely played in a ballroom dance club,
maybe 2 to 3 songs at the most in the entire night.
In salsa club, there is no ballroom dance music at all.

For the people who like both ballroom dances and salsa dances,
the Latino-Social Friday would be a good option.

作者: helloman 时间: 2003-11-13 20:59
The club starts at 6pm on Friday.
I guess that
the introductory lesson will start at 6:30pm or 7pm,
but I am not sure about the exact time.
For more infomation,
you can phone 274-5456, extension 39.

The entry fee is $11.
If you want supper also, add $5.

Even if you don't want supper,
there will still be a small buffet at about 11pm(or before)
with salades, pizza slices, sandwiches, fruits and coffee.

I'll try to ask a couple of friends first
before I decide.

In case anyone is interested to go,
the address is 505, rue Belanger Est.

作者: helloman 时间: 2003-11-14 18:39
I'll get there at around 10:30pm tonight.
I hope the band is good.
If all you dance lovers have time,
go check it out too.

作者: helloman 时间: 2003-11-15 17:02
The band was quite good.
My friend told me that
the introductory lesson took place at about 8:30pm.
The band played the first 1/2 hour set at 9pm,
10:45pm and 11:45pm.
On next Friday the lesson will be on Bachata,
which is a nice slow dance.
