Description

March of the Rumba is an exploration of the art of partner-dancing. It is a bid to assess what constitutes good partnering practices and how to advance from performing pre-choreographed repertoire to the ability of improvising withing the space and time that each dance happens. The author proposes that, as in conversation, leader and follower roles in partner-dancing be fluidly interchangeable based on the skill-level of each couple; dialogue is preferable to monologue. Dance, unlike its sibling, music, has not kept up with the growing understanding of rhythm as it relates to melody. For the most part, dancers have stuck to simply responding to beats in their interpretation of music. Nothing wrong with that. However, deepening our understanding of the relationship between melody and rhythm can be a basis for integrating the fluidity of both rhythm and melody into our interactions with music. The broader our context, the wider our capacity for expression.
