Modern Jive or Ceroc?
I once read a comment saying that the emotion characterising blues dancing was sexiness, whereas the emotion characterising Lindy dancing was exuberance.
So I wondered: what emotion is most associated with Modern Jive?
Modern Jive or Ceroc?
I'm a Psychologist and even I don't have an answer to that one!
It would appear how good they are in bed looking at the other threads
Maybe due to the fact that Jive/Ceroc incorparates many different styles of dancing eg:Latin, Lindy, Salsa, Ballroom ect we can see it in many different forms. I have to say this is evident at Southport when walking from one room to another. Latin room - slow, sensual, passionate dancing. Main room - Lots of bouncing and a usual dance night going on and in the blues a mixture of chilled and sexual dances. Music i feel holds the key into how we express within our dance.
Joy
(Closest I can get to "freedom" and "fun")
Also are you talking about whilst dancing or in other events like the forum or days out etc.
Not to rag on Lindy hoppers, but in an awful lot of footage I see, exhuberance is almost the last thing that comes to mind. They seem to take themselves so d*mn seriously! It may of course be selection effect - only serious dancers end up on YouTube...
(Criticism could equally be applied to a lot of MJ or WCS dancers, but I'm not sure they'd claim "exhuberance" in the first place).
Social MJ: "fun" - look at a general group of dancers, and they may not be the greatest dancers, but they are all enjoying themselves.So I wondered: what emotion is most associated with Modern Jive?
Competition MJ: "flash". I love you, but we only we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth! (Sorry Barry ).
Picnic - yep put my name on that list. Maybe when the weather warms up don't fancy frozen barms. lol
Not sure 'Fun' is an emotion, so I'll go with simple 'Pleasure'. I'm too old to claim 'happiness'
Not sure, in the Blues rooms I've peeked into, the immediate emotion that sprang into my mind was 'Sexiness' tho
Personally, I'd have said that the emotion characterising great blues dances for me is one of intensity and togetherness. In fact - the same holds true for Lindy and MJ.
Exuberance - I'd say that's a individual style thing, rather than a Lindy characteristic. Likewise sexiness / blues.
Nope - one's a business, the other is a dance form.
To quote the ceroc.com website:
In other words, you can learn Modern Jive at a Ceroc class.The style of dance taught at a CEROC class is a fusion of Jive & Salsa which is easy to learn, sociable, fun, and can be danced to any style of music.
(Or a "CEROC" class, even )
