Steps may be similar in many dance styles, but the “feel” which is embodied in bounce or pulse is unique to a style. Bounce represents the timing of the music, the 4/4 pulse, it’s your “double bass” inside. When keeping the bounce, pulse steady and in time, you are your own metronome. ► Jazz. A brief cultural history of black dance https://secretsofsolo.com/2020/06/jazz-a-brief-cultural-history-of-black-dance/ Solo Jazz dance movements are characterised by a weighted release into gravity, a dynamic spine and rhythms. When bouncing we should search for exactly that sensation. It is already a dance by itself. While practicing bounce consider those ideas from the West – African movement. Those are comments gathered by Thompson in interviews with experts in dance in Western and Central Africa, from the book “Steppin’ on the Blues” 1. You should not align limbs in a too straight manner (Kongo) 2. You should dance bending deep. (Kongo) 3. Keep your elbows and hips close in to the body; you must move your entire body; vibrate the whole, but you must keep the movement self-contained, not to go too far out with the gestures and thrusts of the arms and legs (Kongo) #learntodanceonline #solojazz #swingdance #charlestondance #authenticjazz #vernacularjazz #secretsofsolo #kseniaparkhatskaya #bounceinjazz
