Time Capsule
The year was 1979, the country was under the shaky leadership
of President Jimmy Carter. The median Household Income was a mere
$16,461. a year.
A postage stamp was only 15 cents and 'Spectacular Bid' won the
Kentucky Derby.
The Sugar Hill Gang released the first commercial rap hit, "Rapper's
Delight," bringing rap music off of the streets and into the main
stream. The movie theater cash registers were ringing up the top
flicks: Apocalypse Now, All That Jazz,
Kramer vs. Kramer and Breaking Away. Dancing was growing nationally and
disco was off and running. The syndicated dance show 'Dance Fever'
premiered giving the world a chance to experience the hustle.
Miquel and Annette Marrero captured first place in the hustle division
at the New York Harvest Moon Ball and Derrick Allen and Lilia Parra won
first place in the WKTU Cherry's Discotheque dance contest driving home
in new cherry red corvettes. In the Fall, twenty - eight years ago,
these were the top Billboard Disco Action songs heard in sunny Miami,
Florida.
1) Ring My Bell - Anita Ward
2) Bad Girls - Donna Summer
3) Dancer - Gino Soccio
4) Bad Bad Boy - Theo Vaness
5) Music Is My Life - Patti Labelle
6) Forbidden Love - Madleen Kane
7) Stars - Sylvester
8) Have a Cigar - Rosebud
9) Cuba - Gibson Brothers
10) High On Mad Mountain - Mike Theodore
DANCE TIP (Courtesy
of
Sonya Elmore - La Luna)
DO NOT COACH I have heard of this happening to
other people but never to me. It finally happened to me this
weekend at the Congress and I thought this would make for an excellent
Dance Tip. I was in the middle of dancing with a gentleman as
he quickly said "Dip!" and proceeded to dip me. A few moments
later he exclaimed "Sit!" as he did another "sitting dip". I
began to wonder if he was going to give me a cue before he does
something out of ordinary. The third time, he tried to tell
me how to style my arm. I was getting seriously
annoyed. He asked if I would like to dance another song and I
politely agreed. Right before we started, he asked
me: "You don't mind me correcting you, do you?" I
thought for a moment that this was my chance to speak up and
said: "Actually I do". He was quite in shock,
apologized for correcting me and the rest of the dance was
great.
The moral of the story is that there is no need to teach someone on the
dance floor, unless they specifically asked you for it. Plus.
are you sure you are giving the right information and the reason why
the pattern didn't work out was your fault? I say, just dance
and have fun, leave the teaching to the dance schools, that's what we
do best.
