Competitive ballroom dancing as a social phenomenon : an anthropological approach

Nurse, Gwendoline January 2007 (has links)
The following investigation develops a critique of Competitive Ballroom Dancing as a social phenomenon from an anthropological perspective and that of a non-dancer. In order to do this the thesis is concerned with interrelating dance with anthropology. The concepts of how people express themselves and communicate in society provide the study with the scope to explore certain issues. The first aspect shows how a person would prepare to be a dancer in competition, this involves, among other things, learning to dance, finding a suitable partner and the overall appearance of the dancer. Secondly looking at competition, which involves sport and dance, judgement and perception of how the dancers and spectators view it. The embodied content of the competitive dancer is seen as an important issue, since it can affect how the dancers dance and how the dance is perceived, despite the fact that competitive ballroom dancing is such a highly formal, structured and rule-governed form of dance. Ritual and performance theories integrating emic and etic tendencies are juxtaposed with what appears to happen in this form of dance. In addition various types of altered state of mind are examined, in view of comments made by dancers about how they feel when dancing. Furthermore this thesis explores an understanding of how important this form of dancing is to its participants and how the activity can be a life-long pursuit whether as a dancer or subsequently as a spectator. It also illustrates the extent to which younger people enjoy an activity where there is great emphasis on being fit and how they have come to link it with sport.

Percepção de estudantes universitários da área tecnológica em relação ao uso da dança de salão “sertanejo universitário” no lazer

Rodrigues, Sônia Maria 29 July 2013 (has links)
Acompanha: Manual didático para oficina de dança de salão “sertanejo universitário” para iniciantes; Vídeo didático: dança de salão "sertanejo universitário" para iniciantes / Este trabalho analisa a percepção da Dança de Salão “Sertanejo Universitário” como uma possibilidade de lazer para estudantes universitários da área tecnológica, com a pretensão sugestiva da prática das aulas, fora do horário da grade curricular. Para tanto, foram pesquisados os acadêmicos dos cursos de engenharia da Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná, Câmpus Cornélio Procópio (UTFPR-CP). O estudo foi estruturado com o intuito de investigar a aceitação da atividade proposta e a forma como os acadêmicos envolvidos no projeto utilizam seu tempo livre, por meio da aplicação de escalas sociais (LQOL-70, pré e pós-oficina de dança). Por razão da pouca vivência e conhecimento desta prática mimética pelos acadêmicos, foi ministrada uma oficina de Dança de Salão “Sertanejo Universitário” e colhidas as opiniões dos participantes para elaboração de um plano de ação, envolvendo uma prática de dança, que pudesse ser utilizado por pessoas com pouco conhecimento na área. Para detectar a aceitação da atividade e a forma como os acadêmicos envolvidos no projeto utilizam seu tempo livre foi utilizado um estudo constando cinco procedimentos: 1- aplicação do questionário LQOL-70, para uma análise geral da perspectiva do lazer dos estudantes e um questionário sobre o conhecimento e interesse quanto à dança; 2- realização de uma oficina com movimentos básicos de Dança de Salão “Sertanejo Universitário”; 3- aplicação de uma escala social sobre a percepção da dança após a aplicação da oficina; 4- análise dos resultados obtidos; 5- elaboração de um manual e de um vídeo didático com os movimentos básicos aplicados na oficina. Constatou-se que, mesmo com as dificuldades apresentadas pelos acadêmicos em executar algumas das atividades propostas, a maioria expôs sua vontade de praticar Dança de Salão “Sertanejo Universitário” ou outro estilo no futuro e, ao final do estudo, observou-se que a prática, da Dança de Salão “Sertanejo Universitário” foi considerada uma atividade de lazer, apresentando-se, assim, uma oportunidade de ampliação das opções de lazer dos estudantes dos cursos da área tecnológica. / This paper analyzes the perception of Ballroom Dancing “Sertanejo Universitário” as an possibility of leisure for college students from technologic area, with the suggestive pretention of practical classes, out the curriculum. For this, were surveyed the academics of engineering courses from Federal University of Technology - Paraná, Campus Cornélio Procópio (UTFPR-CP). The study was structured in order to investigate the acceptance of the propose activity and how the academics involved in the project are using their free time, through the application of social scales (LQOL-70, Pre and Post dance workshop). By reason of little experience and knowledge of this mimetic practice by the students, was given a Ballroom Dancing “Sertanejo Universitário” workshop and was collected the views of participants to draw up an action plan involving the practice of dance that could be applied by persons with little knowledge in the area. To detect the acceptance of the activity and the way the academics involved in the project are using their free time was used a five proceedings study: 1- application of LQOL-70 questionnaire for an overview from the perspective of leisure of students and a questionnaire about knowledge and interest about dance; 2- conducting a workshop with basic practices of Ballroom Dancing “Sertanejo Universitário”; 3- the application of a social scale about dance perception after the applied workshop; 4- analysis of the results obtained; 5- preparation of a manual and a teaching video with the basic movements applied in the workshop. It was found that, even with the difficulties presented by the students in performing some of the proposed activities, the majority stated their willingness to practice Ballroom Dancing “Sertanejo Universitário” or other style in the future and, in the end of the study, was observed that the practice of Ballroom Dancing “Sertanejo Universitário” was considered a leisure activity, presenting, thus, an opportunity to expand leisure options from students of technologic areas.

Sambandet mellan socialdans och upplevd lycka / The relationship between social dancing and perceived happiness

Lama, Parash January 2017 (has links)
Dans är aktivitet som väcker positiva emotioner och förknippas med bland annat högtider, musik, social gemenskap, motion och andra positiva händelser, vilka är faktorer som kan bidra till lycka. Exempelvis har forskningsvärldens nyfikenhet på fritidsaktiviteter lett till att pardans, som generellt setts som en social och kulturell aktivitet, numera blivit accepterad som alternativ behandlingsform mot psykisk ohälsa såsom stress, ångest och depression. Dock fann jag i min litteraturundersökning att det var få studier som var gjorda där man undersökte socialdansen (pardans utan tävlingsinslag) och dess påverkan på friska människors lycka. Därför ämnade föreliggande studie undersöka sambandet mellan socialdans och lycka. För att besvara frågeställningarna mättes de oberoende variablerna duration, intensitet och frekvens i socialdans med de två beroende variablerna livstillfredsställelse (kognitiv lycka) och välbefinnande (affektiv lycka). Självskattningsskalan SWLS användes för att mäta livstillfredsställelse och PANAS C för att mäta upplevt välbefinnande. Deltagarna var 136 socialdansare i åldrarna 19–70 år, från olika delar av Sverige, med en medelålder på 37,83 år (SD = 12,138 år), där 68 procent var kvinnor och 43 procent var män. Multipel linjär regression användes för dataanalysen. Resultaten visade att endast variabeln duration uppvisade signifikant värde gällande prediktion av kognitiv lycka (livstillfredsställelse). Däremot visade också resultaten av samtliga oberoende variabler; duration, frekvens och intensitet, signifikanta värden gällande prediktion av affektiv lycka (välbefinnande). / Dance is an activity that evokes positive emotions and is associated with, among others: festivals, music, community, exercise and other positive occasions; factors that seem to contribute to happiness. The research community's curiosity within the field of recreational activities has for instance led to the fact that ballroom dancing, commonly viewed as a social and cultural activity, now has been accepted as an alternate form of treatment for mental illness, such as stress, anxiety and depression. However, in my literature overview I found that there were few studies on social dancing (basically ballroom dancing without the competitive components) and its effects on healthy human beings' happiness. Therefore, this study endeavors to investigate the relation between social dancing and happiness. To answer the questions, the independent variables duration, intensity and frequency in social dancing were measured and related to the dependent variables of perceived happiness, life satisfaction (cognitive happiness), and general well-being (affective happiness). The selfreport scale SWLS was used to measure life satisfaction and PANAS C to measure perceived well-being. The participants were 136 social dancers 2 between the ages of 19-70 years, with an average age of 37.8 years (SD = 12.1 years); 68 percent were women and 43 percent were men. Multiple linear regression was used for data analysis. The results show that only the variable duration showed significance in predicting cognitive happiness, i.e. satisfaction of life. However, the results showed that all the independent variables of duration, intensity and frequency showed a significant value for prediction of affective happiness, i.e.general well-being.
