Is that a personality thing? do i have a chacha personality? Each dance has
its character - i can easily (well, comparatively speaking) get into the
character of rumba, paso, samba and jive, but not chacha. Wednesday night,
while practicing my new chacha routine, i taped myself - and was frustrated
to see myself dancing without THE chacha character...
Usually i watch a lot, say paso, to feel the attitude. The emotion from the
dance will affect me such that the character finds its way into |

发帖数: 2094 | 15 ok, let me re-describe it using your words ;) For me, it is comparatively
easier to fake the feelings in the 4 dances - romanatic in rumba, carnival
in samba, challenging in paso, and fun in jive. somehow it is not so easy to
fake 'flirting' in chacha if that is the character of this dance. It is not
that i can't fake it but that i don't feel like doing so...

发帖数: 2094 | 21 I'll say yes yes yes - i am also a tech-maniac.
I figure the problem probably is: I always follow the right technique (or at
least try to) and do individual figures very well in slow teaching count -
that is the focus of my private lessons. But i hardly have time to connect
different figures and do them smoothly with chacha music (in fast count). So
when i rush into the fast rhythm, my body cannot handle it - my body
simply skips the technique in order to keep up to the speed. This might be

I am not sure if faking is the wrong idea, but it is not the cure either
to make the whole thing work one will need to have technique, musicality,
and emotion, and emotion is probably the only thing you can fake to some
extent. Musicality is just as important as technique, if not more,
unfortunately it is more of something we are born with or at least something
solidly established when we were little, there is not much room for
improvement after that.

发帖数: 295 | 29 To sensual girl, great post. I totally agree with you. It is not I am
against emotional expression in dancing. The emotion and musical part is why
dancing is half art half sport. I was just trying to say there is not a
single bit faking is dancing. Say I do not have one element in my dance,
that is fine. I gradually build it up. It takes time and effort. But if I
start with faking, I am done, I will never get there.
Also I echo your point practicing to the slow music first and be patient is

发帖数: 2094 | 31 I think you guys/gals all have reasonable opinions. The little difference
lies in the stage of dancing you implicitly assume in your discussion.
Moonraker says: for a beginner dancer, you should be aware that you could
improve by involving a bit emotion and presenting a bit character of the
dance.
Couragewings says: if you are really a beginner, you should focus first on
the technique. if you start to focus on the non-dance part (non-body-
movement part), you basically ignore the essentials. you |

Oldcountry says: generally, to be a dancer, you have to have technique,
emotion, AND musicality. you can practice technique, fake emotion to some
extent, but musicality is a born-with or not-born-with thing. (hm...luckly
he has it born with him :)
cfish: yes, technique rules (i don't have a translation for her statement :D
