The diverse culture that captive Africans are exposed to during their sojourn in America, as well as in Spanish and European countries made it possible for them to adapt to other dance forms and uniquely coming up with their own. Dance Of A Strong Body It was observed that the dance routines of African American decent are those that require strong and flexible bodies -- which are accounted to the time they worked as slaves in America, Spain, and Europe. This type of Irish dance is further broken down into 2 other categories -- the set dancing and "Ceili". The more traditional solo social dance is called the Sean-nos Irish Dancing. This is well-known for its close-to-ground footwork following a slow tempo unlike stepdancing, as well as free arm movement and battering steps following accented music. And since this is just the introduction to the entire routine, high intensity performance right off the bat is also a great way to capture the audience's attention. Middle Once you have grabbed the audience's attention, it is now time to move into the 'gist' of your performance the cheers and dance. If you can, minimize or totally avoid doing stunts here, or else it will become overkill. It is mostly punctuated with highly energetic moves, swings, and leaps that can easily catch and enthrall the audience in rapt attention -- moves similar to that of a ballet dancer but with more energetic movements. History Of Jazz Dancing Jazz dancing started its roots in 1950 that stems off from the popular jazz music during that time. Performs of capoeira form a circle wherein each performer take turns in either ritually sparring, playing an instrument, or singing. Each sparring comes with fluid transition of sweep, kicks, acrobatic play, feints, and headbutts. Other techniques that are not used as often as the ones mentioned above, but are also allowed, include slaps, body throws, elbow strikes, or punches. The four basic moves are the toprock, which are foot movements done while the dancer is standing up, downrock, which are foot movements done while the dancer is down on the floor while using his hands to support his entire weight, freezes, which are poses done by the dancer on his hands, and power moves, which are basically acrobatic moves that are fairly difficult to perform.
