On the Technique
by Richard Fiore (Licentiate, (LAB, LAR, T) US Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing
One of the most challenging aspects of ballroom dancing is maintaining perfect balance with a partner while in motion. This entails traveling together as one, to the rhythm of the music. Dancers constantly experience various kinetic
forces while in motion on the dance floor. Individuals that mainly dance non-partner styles are quick to experience profound differences as they engage in partner dancing. Maintaining balance with a partner while in motion requires a special skill set. This aspect of partner dancing is often taken lightly or not considered at all.
A professional dance syllabus gives details over each step such as feet positions, room alignments, amounts of turn, dance position, footwork, sway, contra body movement and others. While all of this provides a good technical breakdown of each dance figure, it remains a two dimensional model. The fine technical details of the figures that make up a dance routine may be entirely understood intellectually, however the same routine can feel awkward when danced. This may especially be the case if the natural forces of motion are not properly factored in throughout the dance. The ability to sense and manage these forces is an acquired skill that is developed over time through persistent practice. It involves learning at the physical level, which is also referred to as kinesthetic learning. Bodies move and shape in very complex ways on the dance floor. As a result, dancers experience various kinetic forces that constantly change in magnitude and direction. This element alone makes ballroom dancing especially challenging. Managing these forces will greatly influence the overall quality of the dance. One of the most dominant of these forces is momentum.

The momentum generated from traveling in a straight line is known as linear momentum. This is based on the physical principle that a moving object always produces momentum. More specifically, momentum is the product of mass times speed (mv) in the direction of travel. Assuming that partners are in a well-connected closed dance hold, the total mass is taken as the combined mass of both partners. Therefore, momentum will always be greater for partners paired together as compared to that of one partner. Momentum is present simply because bodies are in motion. The degree of momentum has to be constantly managed especially by the leader as it will directly influence the moving flow and precision of each step throughout the dance. Experienced ballroom dancers allow for steps to naturally flow from one to another. They can use momentum advantageously to enable continuous smooth travel through a series of steps. In foxtrot and waltz, for example, momentum can be skillfully managed to carry partners elegantly through a series of figures traveling in the same direction. This is known as body flight. A body that is in motion tends to stay in motion due to its inertia. In this scenario, the built up momentum is more than that needed to arrive at the next step in a stationary balanced position. In contrast, tango steps are more staccato and arrive at a point of stationary balance. Therefore body flight is not a property of tango.

When partners move with too much momentum for a given situation, they can easily lose control especially in instances where abrupt slowdowns or changes in direction are necessary. This results in making the intended action inaccurate and sloppy. When this action occurs dancers always know by body sensation as it simply feels awkward. The effect of momentum is important to grasp in an applied manner since it greatly influences the precision and flow of each step throughout the dance. This involves skillful awareness of the magnitude and direction of the built up momentum as well as the ability to respond to its effects. Since momentum cannot be dissolved instantaneously, it is important for the leader to plan his travel path and speed well in advance so that he can manage the momentum properly through each figure.
The dynamic forces of motion are an essential aspect of ballroom dancing that always needs to be taken into account. All moving bodies generate a variety of dynamic forces. This article has focused on linear momentum for movements along a straight line path. There are other forces that are present during curved and rotational movements such as turns and spins. The next issue will address rotational forces and their effects.

All About the Dance
by Lou Brockman (Lou Brockman has been dancing his unique style of ballroom for over four decades. He continues to perform and teach out of NYC and in February 2018 can be seen with his brilliant partner Heather Gehring in their guest star perfor-mance for Michael Feinstein’s Salute to MGM musicals at Carnegie Hall. For info: www.silverscreenballroom.com
“I’m no Fred Astaire.” Why is it that whenever somebody gets asked to dance or even asked if they know anything about dance they make this comparison? That is an incredible standard to hold oneself to. Nobody asked if you were the greatest partner dancer in the history of civilization. It’s like if somebody asked you your opinion about religion in the world and you said, “Well, I’m no Jesus”. We know you’re not Fred Astaire. That doesn’t mean you can’t participate. What it does mean is that having knowledge close to the source can make you better. If you admire Mr. Astaire then you want at least a little of what he had. That, as a matter of fact, was one of his greatest qualities. He made you think, “Hey, maybe I could do a little of that.” Well, I’m no Fred Astaire, to be sure. So who am I? And how does what I have to say matter? I am Lou Brockman and I have been ballroom dancing for over four decades. I have won a number of national dance championships ranging from the Fred Astaire Dance Studio International Smooth championship to the title of National Dirty Dancing Champion, which I won when I appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1987. I am also one degree of separation in training from Fred Astaire. What is important to you is that this fact can make a difference for every one of us who has ever dreamt of dancing even one degree closer to the greatness of the inimitable Mr. Astaire. So, how does knowing the Astaire technique make dancing better?
Appearance vs. Feel – How do you feel when you watch Fred Astaire dance? Do you feel good because of the shapes he makes or, and I believe this is the real reason we love the Silver Screen technique of Fred Astaire, is it because of the visual connection he makes by using movements from the heart? Choosing his moves based not on angles of his arms or legs, but on the angle of his smile when he had a fun dance step to do and this man’s smiles were clearly from his heart. Moving as if he were just inventing his dancing out of this style, not as if he had been rehearsing forever. He always danced from his heart no matter what was in his head. I learned how to clear the path from my mind to my heart from the woman who first taught me how to dance.
Miss Jarvel - Dagmar Jarvel (pronounced Yar-vel) was a young modern dancer who escaped from Estonia and the oppression of Joseph Stalin in 1951. Upon her arrival to the United States she quickly gained employment at the newly founded Fred Astaire Dance Studios, specifically at the head studio in Manhattan. Never having done ballroom dancing before she found herself being trained by the one person who was the most qualified to educate all the teachers who would be entrusted with the responsibility of upholding the reputation of the dance studio’s namesake, Fred Astaire himself.
Stay tuned next month! for Part 2 - "Miss Jarvel and the basic brilliance of Fred Astaire."
