	Novelty and fad dances - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Fad dances are in fashion at the time of their popularity.

		Fad dances are created during a specific time period, usually to a specific piece of music.
		Fad dances are like fads in clothing or hair styles; they are often times short lived.
		But, due to the popularity of the music and the dance during their short lively-hood, they are passed down through the generations and somehow manage to stay alive.

	MIXED PICKLES Vintage Dance Time Line - Jazz Era
		Swing dancing was born Harlem int he late 20's and early 30s as fl dancers improvised new moves to quick tempo jazz.
		Dance studios and nightclubs are filled with couples practicing their "sidecars," "death drops" and "pretzels." Over the past sixty years we've seen East Coast Swing, West Coast Swing, Cajun Swing and Country Western Swing.
		Perhaps one reason we have seen a craze for nostalgia in social dancing in the 90's is that not since Disco dancing in the 70's have we had a style of dancing that all classes and ages of Americans have found to their taste.

		Several of these dances were danced with 4 steps to 4 beats of music and had 4-count patterns.

		Leading in social dance requires experimentally determining the followers vocabulary and picking out from the subset of your possible leads the ones that you determine she's likely to be able to follow.

	Modern Dance
		The Dancing Plague or choreomania was a significant challenge to public health as it pervaded through the populations of Germany, Holland and Italy for three centuries.
		The dance was thought to resemble a sadistic Apache dance in which a woman attempts to love a sadistic man. No dance swept the country faster than the tango and brought millions of dollars to dance instructors.
		Dance became a means of cutting loose from the hardships of reality and for working class people a form of pure escapism.

	Hustle and disco
		But this fad dance was an early form of West Coast Swing called "Latin Hustle" (Why would anyone in New York would call a new dance "West Coast" anything!) This dance had as its basic: "tap, step, coast- er step, walk, walk" with a count of 1-2-3and4-5-6.
		It is the first dance that does not move with the beat, but cuts through the beat right to the count, with the movement emphasis of each step being equal, like the count base of the music it was designed for.
		Any dance that stays the same for 20 years is destined to become "extinct." Now that Hustle is seeing its national rebirth, let's not go back to doing the same illogical things that caused the wonderful dance to die in the 80s.

		Tango — the dance of love — seems to be gaining the kind of popularity that swing dancing garnered six or seven years ago.

	Amardeep Singh: Understanding the Brazilian pop music fad
		First, there is a growing desire amongst European and American club-goers for dance music based on live percussion elements as a 'warm' counter to the cold aesthetics of purely electronic dance music.
		Fads developed on such a basis are not likely to last long.
		Most tracks weren't aggressive enough to be playable at a dance party, and yet it wasn't smooth or romantic enough to compare with the pretty songs of, for instance, Caetano Veloso.

	Here's how to break the fad-diet habit and lose weight for good
		Fad diets are often programs you're supposed to follow for just a few weeks.
		Fad diets tend to appeal more to people's vanity than to their desire to stay healthy.
		Fad diets that prohibit or severely restrict carbohydrates may live up to their promises of quick weight loss at the beginning, but that's because cutting back on carbs causes your body to purge stored water, McKittrick says.

	Amazon.com: Dance Marathons: Performing American Culture in the 1920s and 1930s (Performance Studies): Books: Carol ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Dramas such as mock weddings and torturous elimination races were played out on the floor--"the popularity of marathons rested on their gladiatorial displays." Dance marathons were under constant scrutiny by health and government officials and were sometimes banned.
		Martin, a drama professor, was curious about why dance marathons are still "alive" in our imaginations decades after their abrupt rise and fall.
		Dance marathons evolved out of the passion for absurd record-breaking activities that erupted in the 1920s, but they soon became an outlet for anger and fear during the Depression when people were willing to pay to see others suffer.

		If your experience with square dancing is limited to watching reruns of Hee Haw, here’s how it works: A group of at least eight dancers (equal numbers of men and women) arrange themselves in, yep, a square.
		But the relative ease of square dancing doesn’t mean that anyone can come in off the street and start their own hoedown.
		Square dancing has a long way to go before it can reclaim the spot it held in the late 1970s, when President Jimmy Carter’s love of square dancing fueled the dance form’s popularity.

		It is not a matter of what a dance is about—the what—but the dancing body’s performance, the living dance in the present moment—the how—that is the essential ingredient.
		Like the movements involved in tap dance, social fad dances, and the holy dances of African American Christianity and traditional African religions, the movements described above are abstractions.
		Instead, they evoke the ostrich quality of the human body, an abstraction from nature placed in the conscious artifice of the dancing body; or the essence of battle through a codified, stylized, theatricalized war dance (and traditional fl dance genres place high value on technique and artifice in the service of expressiveness).

		Old-time Dance is a somewhat generic term that refers to various styles of dance that are phrased to Old-time Music (and similar styles of music).
		The structure of a Contra Dance is basically as such: The dance begins in two long lines (to form a "major set"), with pairs of couples taking "hands four from the top", all the way down the length of the major set.
		By the time the tune (and the dance) are ready to repeat, the couples have "progressed" to meet a new couple (forming a new minor set) and start the process all over again.

		In the 1920s and especially during the Great Depresssion of the 1930s, dance marathon fads played on this morbid fascination we have for people with hard-luck stories, people down on the luck, people at the end of their rope.
		With the glut of "fad diet" books and programs on the market today, it's hard to cut through all the hype and figure out for yourself what's genuine and what's bunk-laden drivel.
		The things that we take for granted and their implications for modern life are laid out with such a sense of fun, that you almost forgive the guys who created air conditioning and tv dinners for their contributions to a comfortable, yet more isolated world.
