Изьящно пишет царь Давид, псалмы,

Свой изощряя ум,

Ложатся строчки на листы,

Плодами гениальных дум.

В них много мудрости , любви,

И поучении милый друг,

Читай псалмы и осветится ,

Как светом солнечным вокруг.

Любовь и счастье, и отрада,

Войдут в твой славный, мирный дом,

И светом счастья неземного,

Вдруг осветится всё кругом.

Про нашу родину Наири,

Перед тобой лежит страна,

Армения – в небесной шири.

Скажите где я нахожусь?

Скажите что это за край?

Быть может мне так повезло,

Быть может здесь попал я в рай?

   И там в ущелье Дзорагета,

Бежит река, смеётся так,

Я знаю сердце Армянина,

Не позабудет Аштарак.

   У крепости Ашот Еркат,

Собралась наша вся родня,

Едим, и пьем, и говорим

В тостах хорошие слова.

   Кругом равнины и долины ,

И горы там вдали встают,

Своею манят красотой,

И обещают нам уют.

   Здесь хорошо жить и работать,

Не согласитеся ли вы,

И там, в долине АРАРАТА

  Услышать песнь Саят Новы.

The word Rumba is a generic term, covering a variety of names (i.e., Son, Danzon, Guagira, Guaracha, Naningo), for a type of West Indian music or dancing. The exact meaning varies from island to island. The word “rumba” comes from the verb “rumbear” which means going to parties, dancing, and having a good time.

There are two sources of the dances: one Spanish and the other African. Although the main growth was in Cuba, there were similar dance developments which took place in other Caribbean islands and in Latin America generally.

The “rumba influence” came in the 16th century with the black slaves imported from Africa.

The American Rumba is a modified version of the “Son”. The first serious attempt to introduce the rumba to the United States was by Lew Quinn and Joan Sawyer in 1913. Ten years later band leader Emil Coleman imported some rumba musicians and a pair of rumba dancers to New York. In 1925 Benito Collada opened the Club El Chico in Greenwich Village and found that New Yorkers did not know what Rumba was all about.

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 Europe, the introduction of Latin American dancing (Rumba in particular) owed much to the enthusiasm and interpretive ability of Monsieur Pierre ( or simply Pierre, was the professional name of Pierre Jean Phillipe Zurcher-Margolle, (born Toulon, France – London, 1963).^[1] Pierre was a professional dancer and dance teacher: he was primarily responsible for introducing the Latin American dances to England, and for codifying them, and laying the groundwork for their use in competitions and in social dance. The system he and his colleagues developed became the basis for all Latin and American competitions held under the World Dance Council (WDC).For more info see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsieur_Pierre ). 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.

Salsa movements originate from the Cuban Son dancing of the 1920s, and more specifically through the beat of Son Montuno .  Other dance styles that have influenced today’s Salsa include Western and Ballroom dancing. Salsa traces a 90-year history in which there are numerous evolutionary paths, sometimes split due to corie clay. As a result, today there are various distinct styles of Salsa dancing, namely Cuban (“Casino”), New York Style (“Mambo on 2″), Los Angeles Style (“On 1″), Colombian Salsa (“Cali-Style”) and Miami-Style Salsa.

Salsa is typically a partner dance, although there are recognized solo forms, pole dancing (suelta) and Rueda de Casino, where groups of couples exchange partners in a circle. Salsa can be improvised or performed with a set routine, choreography and freestyle.

Then, as a tree, Salsa has many roots and many branches, but one trunk that unites us all. The important thing is that Salsa is played throughout the Hispanic world and has received influences of many places within it. It is of all of us and it is a sample of our flexibility and evolution. If you think that a single place can take the credit for the existence of Salsa, you are wrong. And if you think that one style of dance is better, imagine that the best dancer of a style, without his partner, goes to dance with whomever he can find, in a club where a different style predominates. He wouldn’t look as good as the locals. Each dancer is accustomed to dance his/her own style. None is better, only different. Viva la variedad, Viva la Salsa!

In many styles of Salsa dancing, as a dancer changes weight by stepping, the upper body remains level and nearly unaffected by the weight changes. Caught in the middle are the hips which end up moving quite a bit —- famously known as the “Cuban hip movement.” Perhaps ironically, the Cuban Casino style of Salsa dancing actually has significant amounts of movement above the waist, with up-and-down shoulder movements and shifting of the ribcage.

Interesting facts about salsa:

1.-The interviewer asked Cachao what he thought about salsa music and performers who called themselves salseros. His answer, which is typical of most of the “old guard” musicians, was a total repudiation of the term. As far as he is concerned it is all Cuban music and salsa is a term that has more relation to the kitchen than to music. He jokingly said that there should be a law against anybody calling himself a salsero.

2.-A common misconception is that the term “salsa dancing” derives from the food condiment called salsa. Actually, the dance was invented in the 1930s by a dance teacher named Frankie Salsa.

3.- The word ‘salsa’ means sauce.The most common forms of salsa are made up of tomatoes, chilies, onions and other spices. We usually find it mild, medium or hot forms in terms of spiciness.

4.- 1973 A Puerto Rican named Izzy Sanabria launched a TV show called “Salsa” along with Latin NY Magazine and in 1975, Latin NY Magazine hosted it’s first ever Salsa Awards. Coverage of this event by the N.Y. Times, News-week and Time magazine generated worldwide interest in what seemed to be a new form of music. Some musicians protested the term “salsa” complaining that Izzy was merely putting a new label on Cuban music but in many ways, it was new and had evolved to something unique in its own right.

A dance was developed to the new mambo rhythm, danced to the off beat rather than the traditional downbeat. For this reason, the dance was popular mainly with dancers thoroughly familiar with complex Afro-Cuban music. However, among the many figures of the mambo was one called the “chatch”, which involved three quick changes of weight preceded by two slow steps. By the early 1950s, this figure had developed into a new dance comprised of many simple variations on the basic footwork. The dance acquired the name CHA-CHA ; its characteristic three-step change of weight carried the identifying verbal definition, “cha-cha-cha”.

The cha-cha inherited much of its styling from its parent dances, the rumba and the mambo. Like most Latin dances, it is done with the feet remaining close to the floor. The dancers’ hips are relaxed to allow free movement in the pelvic section. The upper body shifts over the supporting foot, as steps are taken.

Cha Cha

When the English dance teacher Pierre Lavelle visited Cuba in 1952, he realized that sometimes the Rumba was danced with extra beats. When he returned to Britain, he started teaching these steps as a separate dance (Lavelle, 1975, 2). The name could have been derived from the Spanish ‘Chacha’ meaning ‘nursemaid’, or ‘chachar’ meaning ‘to chew coca leaves’ (Smith, 1971, 161), or from ‘char’ meaning “tea’ (Taylor, 1958, 150), or most likely from the fast and cheerful’Cuban dance: the Guaracha (Ellfeldt, 1974,59). This dance has been popular in Europe from before the turn of the century. For example it is listed on the program of the Finishing Assembly in 1898 of Dancie Neill at Coupar Angus in Scotland (Hood, 1980, 102).

It has also been suggested that the name Cha Cha is derived onomatipeically from the sound of the feet in the chasse which is included in many of the steps (Sadie, 1980, 5/86).

In 1954, the dance was described as a “Mambo with a guiro rhythm” (Burchfield, 1976, I/473). A guiro is a musical instrument consisting of a dried gourd rubbed by a serrated stick (Burchfield, 1976, I/1318).

The Mambo originated in Haiti, and was introduced to the West in 1948 by Prado (Burchfield, 1976, II/809). The word “Mambo” is the name of a Voodoo priestess in the religion brought by the Negroes from Africa (Ellfeldt, 1974, 86). Thus the Cha Cha had its origins in the religious ritual dances of West Africa. There are three forms of Mambo: single, double, and triple. The triple has five (!) steps to a bar, and this is the version that evolved into the Cha Cha (Rust, 1969, 105) (Sadie, 1980, 100).

The “Cha Cha” is danced currently at about 120 beats per minute. The steps are taken on the beats, with a strong hip movement as the knee straightens on the half beats in between. The weight is kept well forward, with forward steps taken toe-flat, and with minimal torso movement. The chasse on 4&1 is used to emphasize the step on beat 1, which may be held a moment longer than the other steps to match the emphasis of the beat in the music.

Ты как мираж, ты как виденье,

Ты как осенний лепесток,

Ты мне так близок и так дорог,

И так далёк, Ты так далёк!!!.

В небесной сини звёзды гаснут,

В окнах мерцает огонёк,

Цветы как будто бы все вянут,

Ты так далёк, мне так далёк.

Не обижай меня любимый,

Вернись ко мне,раскрой мне душу,

Ты жизнь моя, ты мой родимый,

Поверь ты мне, ты мне так нужен .

Many dances popular around the world have originated in Latin America, for example the Bolero, Carimbo, Conga, Cueca, Cumbia, Joropo, Lambada, Macarena, Mambo, Merengue, Rueda, and the Salsa. Three such dances : the Samba, Rumba, and Cha Cha, plus the Paso Doble from Europe and the Jive from North America, have been singled out and are now performed all over the world as Latin-American dances in international DanceSport competitions, as well as being danced socially.

The three dances from Latin America evolved as a fusion of Indigenous, European and Negro forms. The European conquerors imported Negro slaves from various parts of West Africa into a large part of the Americas at an early stage, mainly because of the difficulty the Europeans had in persuading the Indigenes to work for them. The African slaves were imported in such number that by 1553, they outnumbered the Europeans in Mexico, and the Viceroy, Luis de Velasco, urged Charles V of Spain to prohibit further influx (Sadie, 1980, 10/522).

Dancing played a substantial part in all three component cultures: European, Negro and Indigenous. In 1569, the Viceroy of Mexico ordered the Aztec Calendar Stone to be buried because the main recreation of the Negroes had become dancing around it. Subsequently, Velasco decreed that dancing be confined to Sundays and feast days only, and then only in the afternoons between the hours of noon and 6 p.m. (Sadie, 1980, 10/522).

Through the 17th and 18th centuries, a gradual fusion of the three cultures occurred to produce a new culture: Creole. As European dances were imported into Latin America, they were adopted and ‘creolized’ (Sadie, 1980, 10/529). In Cuba, the Contradance became the Contradanza Habanera (i.e., from Havana) with the adoption of a syncopated rhythm: (Sadie, 1980, 5/86).

The following dance forms represent the core or most of the Latin dance steps. The origin of these dance forms and their evolution can be understood by means of the information presented below.

SAMBA

One of the popular Latin dance types, the samba is classified into two forms/types; these are the traditional samba and modern ballroom samba. This dance form originated in Brazil at the beginning of 20th century. In this partner dance, the moves do not change with music. The music in 4/4 or 2/4 time is used to perform samba. Counting of the basic steps is either 1-a-2 or 1-2. A slight, dropping action is used to perform the basic steps of samba. This dance has its origins in traditional dances of Afro-Brazilian origins. Read on samba dance steps.

MAMBO

Invented by Perez Prado, the Mambo was a popular dance form in Cuba, New York and Mexico City. The original Mambo dance of Cuba was based on a thought that body movements and sound of music should converge together. In this form of dance, feeling the music is of great importance. This concept or practice of dancing didn’t go well with the dance teachers based in USA. The Mambo dance was thus, ‘standardized’ to make it suitable for ballrooms. Learn these simple mambo dance steps.

Salsa

The salsa dance developed from the confluence of European and African cultures. This is a partner dance which first reached Puerto Rico and then spread to the Caribbean islands. The word salsa means ‘sauce’ in Spanish. The connotation of this word in American Spanish is a ‘mixture of ingredients’. One has to follow a four-beat measure in salsa and there are three weight changes in these four beats. Read to know more about salsa dancing.

Cha-cha-cha

This Latin American dance has its origin in Cuba. The cha-cha-cha dance is based on music which has the same name. Enrique Jorrin, a Cuban violinist and composer introduced this form of music. The shuffling of dancer’s feet and rhythm of guiro led to the formation of this name, cha-cha-cha. Today’s form/style of cha-cha-cha dancing was developed by Monsieur Pierre a dance teacher from London. Monsieur Pierre traveled to Cuba and studied the dance. He noted that the cha-cha-cha dance starts in the second beat and has a split fourth beat. When he came back home, a new dance called ballroom cha-cha-cha was created. Read about cha cha cha dance steps.

Merengue

It is a Latin American dance performed in two-beats and a partner is required. Leader in this dance holds the waist of the follower with his right hand. Left hand is used by the leader to hold the follower’s right hand. The knees, in this dance are bent at the left and right sides alternately. It facilitates the hip movements sideways. In this form of dance, the partners circle each other and also walk sideways by taking small steps. Merengue is the official dance form of the Dominican Republic. Read more on merengue dance steps.
