Nhảy Rumba
Thursday, 24. September 2009, 18:09:09
Khiêu vủ đem lại nhiều phút giây say đắm, hạnh phúc tuyệt vời. Các bạn có xem phim “Shall we dance?” chưa? Tâm trạng cũa tôi giống tâm trạng nhân vật trong phim nầy.., giống phần nào.
Rumba là loại nhạc tình cảm êm dịu. Nhảy Rumba, người đàn bà phải rất phụ nữ, khiêu gợi và quyến rũ đàn ông. Nếu Paso Doble là điệu vũ của người đàn ông, người đàn ông phải dũng mảnh, hùng mạnh, thì Rumba ngược lại là điệu vũ cũa phái nữ, một cặp nhảy đẹp hay không là do tài khiêu gợi quyến rũ của người đàn bà...
“Rumba is a dance organically related to the rumba genre of Afro-Cuban music. Throughout the history one may trace several styles of dances called "Rumba".
Some dancers considered Rumba the most erotic and sensual Latin dance, for its relatively slow rhythm and the hip movement. Rumba is actually the second slowest Latin dance: the spectrum runs Bolero, Rumba, ChaChaCha, Mambo in order of the speed of the beat..
American Style Rumba is characterized by the Cuban motion or hip sway arising from the bending and straightening of the knee, as opposed to Latin motion stepping on a straight leg, which is used in International Style Rumba.”
(Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumba_%28dance%29 )
“Real interest in Latin music began about 1929. In the late 1920's, Xavier Cugat formed an orchestra that specialized in Latin American music. He opened at the Coconut Grove in Los Angeles and appeared in early sound movies such as "In Gay Madrid". Later in the 1930's, Cugat played at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York. By the end of the decade he was recognized as having the outstanding Latin orchestra of the day.
In 1935, George Raft played the part of a suave dancer in the movie "Rumba", a rather superficial musical in which the hero finally won the heiress (Carol Lombard) through the mutual love of dancing.
In Europe, the introduction of Latin American dancing (Rumba in particular) owed much to the enthusiasm and interpretive ability of Monsieur Pierre (London's leading teacher in this dance form). In the 1930's with his partner, Doris Lavelle, he demonstrated and popularized Latin American dancing in London.
Pierre and Lavelle introduced the true "Cuban Rumba" which was finally established after much argument, as the official recognized version in 1955.
Rumba is the spirit and soul of Latin American music and dance. The fascinating rhythms and bodily expressions make the Rumba one of the most popular ballroom dances.”
(Rumba history of dance, http://www.centralhome.com/ballroomcountry/rumba.htm )
“A Rumba is generally considered to be a medium-tempo 4/4 Latin ballad, although the American style Rumba tends to be slightly more upbeat and rhythmical, at a tempo of 32-36 mesures per minute. The Latin percussion section punctuates the music with syncopated accents, while bass, guitar and piano keep a steady beat and fill in the harmony. A singer or instrumental soloist usually takes the melody.
American style Rumba is danced to a variety of musical genre from the most traditional of Latin sounds to modern day pop hits.”
