Book Description

"Come, sit by me," says Grandmother. "Take this chalk in your hand. Now draw a dot and concentrate all your energy into this one dot. It is the beginning and the end, the navel of the world." So Fawzia Al-Rawi describes her grandmother's first lesson about the ancient craft of Oriental dance. Grandmother's Secretsalways circles back to this grandmother and this young girl, echoing the circular movements of the dance itself. Al-Rawi has written a strikingly graceful and original book that blends personal memoir with the history and theory of the dance known in the West as "belly dancing." It is the story of a young Arab girl as she is initiated into womanhood. It is a history of the dance from the earliest times through the days of the Pharaohs, the Roman Empire, to the Arab world of the last three centuries. It is a personal investigation into the effects of the dance's movements on individual parts of the body and the whole psyche. It is a guide to the actual techniques of the dance for those who are inspired to put down the book and move. Al-Rawi conveys in this book not only the history and technique of grieving and mourning dances, pregnancy and birth dances, but the spirit of these age-old rituals, and their possibilities for healing and empowering women today.

Book Description

It doesn't matter what you dance. Couple dance or solo, salsa, hip-hop, tango or contemporary. It doesn't matter what level you are - beginner or advanced. If you are a dancer and you want better musicality - this book is for you! Musicality can seem a bit of a mysterious art. What is it, really? In this book we break it down into nine different skills, with focus on the two core elements of musicality, perception and expression. How we hear the music and how we express it. These skills are: Dancing to the Beat Dancing to Different Tempos Finding the Dominant Feeling Expressing Specific Sounds Dancing to the Silence Prediction & Preparation Dancing to the Vocals Breathing with Musicality Putting it all Together There are exercises for each skill, but there is no silver bullet, no ready made recipe you can just follow. If you want better musicality you have to do the work. You are the one who have to interpret the music. But you get the tools. You get a lot of tips on what to listen to and how you can interpret it. Music is a universal language we all understand. And dance is just another language. We only have to practice how to translate it the best way possible. So that it keeps all its beauty.

Book Description

"This book is an examination of neoclassical ballet initially in the French context before and after World War I (circa 1905-1944) with close attention to dancer and choreographer Serge Lifar. Since the critical discourses I analyze indulge in flights of poetic fancy I distinguish in my discussion of this material between the Lifar-image (the dancer on stage and object of discussion by critics), the Lifar-discourse (the writings on Lifar as well as his own discourse), and the Lifar-person (the historical actor). This topic is further developed in the final chapter into a discussion of the so-called Baroque dance both as a historical object and as a motif of contemporary experimentation as it emerged in the aftermath of World War II (circa 1947-1991) in France. Using Lifar as a through-line, the book explores the development of critical ideas of neoclassicism in relation to his work and his drift toward a fascist position that can be traced to the influence of Nietzsche on his critical reception. Lifar's collaborationism during the Occupation confirms this analysis. My discussion of neoclassicism begins in the final years of the nineteenth-century and carries us through the Occupation; I then track the Baroque in its gradual development from the early 1950s through the end of the 1980s and early 1990s.
