现代交谊舞的辩证思维


现代交谊舞是一种充满着辩证思维的舞蹈艺术。首先，男士和女士的搭对，就是阳刚和阴柔的艺术组合。在交谊舞舞语创作中按一定的科学规律来创作舞语词汇，来创作舞语的舞句等等，这就是我们所说的交谊舞的辩证思维。对立统一规律是交谊舞创作科学辩证思维的精髓。


        现代交谊舞舞蹈语言创作的对立统一关系例举：


1．.点与线的结合***点与线的结合，我们从两个方面来简述：从个人形体动作来说，就是用科学的对立统一方法来艺术的处理形体线条的构架笔画。这就象我们写字一样，横竖撇捺和点，也就是线条和点的搭配，要适当。点 是一个相对特殊的笔画，点的不好，整个舞蹈形态就会变形，失去韵味；点的精彩，；那自然就是画龙点睛。


从交谊舞舞程上来说，交谊舞的流动也有一个点与线结合的问题。交谊舞是舞蹈类别中的抒情诗，而不是“格律诗”。交谊舞的舞句是有长短的，一曲交谊舞不断的舞程线，实际上是由短短长长不同的舞句连接而成的。每个连接点就是这条线上的 点。点在舞程线上错落有致的艺术处理是保证交谊舞作品字句分明、章节有序的关键。


2.长与短的结合***长短结合与点线结合有相似的地方，实际上还是有区别的。长线、短线都是线而不是点，这是范围上的区别。从舞语词汇的编排上看，在点上，通常是以一个长词汇或短词汇来表现；而在线上则通常是以几个词汇组合而成线的。


3.动与静的结合***现代交谊舞是流动的人的形体艺术语言。舞语的流动是绝对的，而不动是不存在的，因此这个静是相对的，所谓“树欲静而风不止”，形定而意不静。从理论上说，交谊舞的每一个舞语词汇都是动态的形体语言。但交谊舞的流动也不是平均速度的流来流去，而是有快有慢，慢到一定的程度就是相对的静。舞语动作的静是突出舞蹈艺术动态美的特殊表现手段。


4.快与慢的结合***快慢结合与动静结合基本原理相同，只是在程度上有些区别。快、慢、静都是在动作，但只有慢到一定的程度才为静。快慢结合则是交谊舞大量运用的组合方式。


5.起与伏的结合***起伏结合一个是指在舞蹈一般流动状态下，舞语的构词、造句应该有起有伏，体现自然的美。一个是从形体的横线条上看左右两边也有起伏。右起左落，左起右落，横线条保持一定的艺术倾斜，能体现舞语动作特殊的艺术效果。


6.高与低的结合***这个高低结合着重指舞语造型词汇构词时采用的一种辩证处理方法。以低衬高、以高补低，在不失艺术平衡的前提下，扩大形体外延的表现范围，也能造成舞语动作特殊的艺术效果。

When I went to watch a dance competition earlier this year,
I saw an outstanding young Asian couple
in the adult open standard divison.
Since Asian dancers are not very common in the dancesport comp in Montreal,
I paid special attention to their performance.
They eventually won that division convincingly.
Recently by chance I came across their names and web site.
This is a young and promising dance partnership
in the Canadian dance scene.
They seem to have the stuff to go far in this sports.

To: YEBAIHE & Kitty100:

Hello, 一起去跳舞！交谊舞、拉丁舞！

Friends club will host a dance this saturday, Aug 2, in the same location.

You people can all go there
to dance and meet fellow dance lovers.

Alternatively if you like to dance on the street
to a live band,
there will be an outdoor Latin concert, as part of Francofolies festival,
in the corner of Clark street and St. Catherine
at 8pm and 10 pm also this Saturday.

I watched that band before
and posted it under a different topic:

Just came back from the esplanade of Place des Arts.
the outdoor noon concert of the Cuban singer, Yussy Barbara Ruiz, was great.
Before the concert, I was concerned that the songs might be too hardcore Cuban
for the general public to enjoy.
It turns out that she picked some popular tunes of different styles,
fast salsa, merengue, Cha Cha, romantic rumba, even a disco song in Spanish.
There were also invited dancers on stage, really spicing up the show.
The whole place was jumping.
Great fun !
