Was wondering what kind of style people like to dance with.

Goes without saying that it will depend on the music being played but in general, do you prefer MJ'in with Tango'y type eliments or do you prefer a more Disco'y type movement?

Yep.
I don't know any AT/Tango, Ballroom, Disco, Hip Hop, Jive, Latin, Street or WCS.
I dance in a blues style on the rare occasion that I hear a fitting record around here, but most of the time I dance in the Gav style! :D

I have my own style. Even then it varies depending on the song being played whilst I dance and more importantly my style varies depending on who I'm dancing with. If I know you well and have danced lots with you before, then I'm more likely to be playful.

I didn't notice Swing or Salsa on the poll? Am I missing something in the taxonomy of dancing?

My own style aspires to Smooth Jive - and right now I'd probably call it Cheeky Jive - so it involves quite a bit of facial expression to provide some entertainment.

Of course, I would like to be an understudy to Cheeky Mike - and his delectable assistant/demonstrator I danced with at Warmwell.

Salsa doesn't really fit in to MJ due to the timing aspect. Salsa will always be Salsa just as Cha cha will always only ever be cha cha. No doubt some bright spark will argue that but there you go.

Swing is prob missing along with a few others I can't think of. Anyway of adding some more on?

Will you pacify the humble people of the forum who do not poses your God like skills and authority and add the following in to the poll.

Swing, Lindy, Smooth, Bouncey and any others you can think off.


Always grateful for your presence on the forum.

P.s. Will hook you up with some low cost Hastings girls if your ever down this way. lol

David Bailey
14th-December-2006, 05:52 PM
OK, I've added Swing / Lindy, as it's a definite genre.

I'm not adding "smooth and slotted" or "bouncy", 'coz they're not genres, they're just how people see themselves or want to see themselves - but feel free to smarm to another mod if you want them added.

Second one is clearly disco when they are not connected – when they are connected I don't see anything especially "disco" in their style.

Oh, w.r.t Salsa and Cha-Cha – Ceroc defines their dance as a fusion of Salsa and Jive, and if you are predominately doing Salsa-ish moves, then you must be dancing in a "Salsa-style". With Cha-Cha, there are lots of cha-cha-style moves possible in MJ, and, again, if you do enough of them, that must make your style very "Cha-Cha-ish". :)

Watch the footwork, pony steps, pushed hips, lined shoulders etc. Will admit it's not a brilliant example but the best I could find.

Yes they do but I think that is more of a marketing thing, loads of people know salsa. Salsa and cha cha use diffrent timings, Yes you can use them in modern jive but the min you are going, 1-2-cha,cha,cha, you are cha cha'ing and not Modern Jiving.

14th-December-2006, 06:24 PM
When I watch people dance, I place them into one of three style categories...

Latiny (lots of hip movement).
Swingy (some hip movement).
Walky (no hip movement).

That's about as far as I can go. There's too much crossover and variation, after that it all becomes fuzzy to me :)

Lindy/Swing ???

Lindy = Lindy Hop

Swing = West Coast Swing

that is how the Americans categorise it - therefore you can't really put them together :really:
Yeah, I know - but I meant "swing" as being "that fast kicky stuff", as different to "West Coast Swing", which is "That slower snooty stuff" :)

OK, it now reads "Lindy" :)

LMC
14th-December-2006, 09:39 PM
I'm not built for speed :rofl: so would lean towards the slower styles. I'm not really bovvered about improving swingy/lindy, happy just to keep up but would like to improve blues/tango. Although fast music makes a fun change - a fab hip hoppy style dance with MH @Storm springs to mind :kiss: (even if we did have to give up halfway thru' the track, being knackered :rofl: ). I hope I'm relatively smooth and non-bouncy as a follower.

This is too long. Summary: Undefined. Depends on the music more than anything.

MJ is quite often danced as a circular dance, where the follower circles around the lead in the middle (like a satellite). In a slotted dance, imagine that you are dancing in a train track. You will usually start and finish in between the tracks.

It's a very simple explanation for something that could take a lot longer to explain. But it's late and I'm tired. There has been a thread about it here before. Probably in the intermediate dance section. Go chase it up if you're that interested :D

I dance as the music dictates, but always with a sexy style...

disco to disco
funky to R&B
west coasty to R&B if the leader lets me play
lindy-y to swing
very blues-y to blues
latin-y to latin

I hate dancing in a 'ceroc' style to boring pop music....

MartinHarper
15th-December-2006, 01:53 AM
What the heck are pony steps?

--

My MJ style is most influenced by Lindy, since I spend half of my dance time doing Lindy. Similarly my Lindy style is most influenced by MJ.
The next biggest influence is probably lead/follow/connection/frame/basics/fundamentals classes. I just can't get enough of the various exercises that are taught in those classes, and I waste way too much time on the dance floor messing around with that stuff.
Then there's a ragtag mix of other dance influences, most recently Polka. Yeay for Polka!

Oh, by Lindy-influence, I mean all of Lindy, not just the "fast kicky stuff".

--

I agree with others that I'd find it easier to describe someone's dance style in terms of thing like "bouncy", "slotted", "wild hips", "expressive", and "minimalist". It doesn't make sense to me to describe someone as having a "Lindy dance style" when there is such a huge variety in style amongst Lindy dancers.

--

To the poll, I'd add CTA-style, as danced by those who've only had lessons from CTA-approved instructors. That's a definate sub-genre of MJ that I think is quite identifiable.

I've been almost exclusively taught by "CTA-approved instructors", but of the two main ones, I think their style is very different, and I wouldn't say my style is recognisably CTA-influenced. (Other people's experience may vary.)

ok my style is blues. Thats my all time favourite, not too hectic, seductive, able to show off a little and really work the attitude and connection.

Since doing a workshop with CJ, i have also learnt musicality which has thrown a whole new light on music for me. I can hear things that i never heard before and am working on little moves to the different beats in one song. Highly recommended workshop by the way if anyone is interested.

So, im a blues gal through and through, any excuse for a free grope me. :whistle: :D :love:

I dont think a type of dance dictates style if you watch someone dancing different types of dance there is a very strong chance that they will dance them in a simular style.

Style to me no matter what type of dance i'm performing is about smoothness musicality and confidence on the dance floor.:yeah: :yeah:

To most people(sadly in my view) style is purely about how many moves and tricks you know.
And for example in ballroom dancing its about presentation, dress and posture. :cheers:

Lynn
18th-December-2006, 06:05 PM
I think style changes over time and is influenced by the type of music you like to dance to, the style of dancers you admire and the other dances that you do.

And yes, we dance to some degree in the style of the music, whatever it is. But we also have a preferred style that given the freedom within a track we will choose to express. That style can draw us to enjoy certain music because it fits how we like to dance. That also will draw us even to certain venues and events because the sort of music that we like to dance to is played - so personal preferred style can be important.

I guess I'd like this to be a multi option poll as I'd probably describe my preferred style as a mix of tango and blues. Of course that's what I'm aspiring to - what it actually looks like to others might be different. I'd be interested in feedback and comments.

But if I had to pick one, I'd say tango.

I think style changes over time and is influenced by the type of music you like to dance to, the style of dancers you admire and the other dances that you do.

I guess I'd like this to be a multi option poll as I'd probably describe my preferred style as a mix of tango and blues. Of course that's what I'm aspiring to - what it actually looks like to others might be different. I'd be interested in feedback and comments.
:yeah:
Like I've said earlier, it depends on the music I dance to. And the person I'm dancing with, too. I've been asked before 'how long have you done lindy?', to which my answer is 'I don't'. But if I dance to swingy music with a lindy dancer, I adapt my style to suit the music and the person I'm dancing with, although I don't actually do lindy.

Sometimes I dance WCS. Then I'd describe my 'style' as being 'wcs'.:wink:

If it's tango or tango-ish music, I'm likely to add some leg flicks, sweeps and other little tango styling to my dancing, even if it's MJ we're dancing (if my lead gives me the chance to do so). So then my 'style' will probably be tango.

And of course at other times, my dancing is pure MJ. I'm not sure how to describe my MJ 'style', but perhaps others could tell me what they think? I'm not bouncy, and I'm not very flamboyant.

So, what you're all saying is, you don't actually have any definable style? :na:

OK, let's re-phrase the poll as "What genre of dancing most influences you", how's that?

I think everyone's just tried to point out that your style can change depending on music, partner, mood and what other dances you're doing / learning. Oh, and I don't know why I even bothered typing this, as you know it anyway. You're just being your stubborn, grumpy self.:rolleyes:
