Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Вербицкая, Камине Д.Карр, Парсонс 11 класс, Просвещение: MOVE TO THE MUSIC
People of all ages and walks of life are dragging themselves away from their sofas and TVs and discovering the pleasures of moving their bodies to the rhythms of music. Is this a temporary craze or a sign of the times?
Moving to music appeals to our most primal instincts. Throughout history, people have expressed themselves through dance in rituals and ceremonies, on social occasions with friends and family, and as professional artists. Nowadays clubbing is one of the most popular forms of socializing for young people. And added to this, the huge popularity of TV programmes like the British Strictly Come Dancing or the
Russian Dancing with the Stars where even the clumsiest celebrities are turned into graceful ballroom dancers, has encouraged people of all ages to try it for themselves. Meanwhile, a leading medical journal applauds the benefits: ‘Dancing is a great way to build physical activity into our lives. It stimulates the senses, it’s great fun, and it’s good for our bodies and minds.’
A: Flamenco
‘It’s really a performance art and takes years to perfect.’
I go to a flamenco club every Friday just to watch the dancing, The British love flamenco, and I’m one of them. I happened to be in Andalucia on holiday when the Jerez flamenco festival was on, and it just blew me away. Now there’s an annual festival in London, and it’s getting more popular every year, partly because flamenco’s changing so much. There are still those who perform it the traditional gypsy way, but others have experimented with a fusion of styles, mixing flamenco with jazz, modern dance, even ballet. But what I love most is the pride and fiery passion of the gypsy temperament. I’m sure this is its basic appeal — we have nothing like it in British culture.
I go to classes every week, and more people are joining all the time, both men and women. Some come to get rid of stress after a day’s work, some are very committed and want to be professionals. It’s really a performance art and takes years to perfect. Still, I find it exhilarating to stamp out passionate rhythms with twenty other people. It’s the only place I can use that kind of aggressive energy, but at the same time I’m allowed to be so feminine, and feel proud and free. To me, flamenco is the ultimate in self-expression. It’s all about the way people feel. When I watch flamenco, I see the dancers make confessions on stage. When I dance flamenco, I feel as if I’m dancing my life.

B: Capoeira
‘A big city person might see it as a form of self-defence, while for others it’s a way of life.»
It was a sunny winter’s day in London when I first heard the music. Exotic instruments, hypnotic rhythms. I turned round. Was it a dance? Some sort of fight? Acrobatics? ‘What is it?’ ‘Capoeira.’ ‘Capo- what?’ ‘Ca-po-ei-ra. A Brazilian martial art.’ As I later discovered, it’s all of these things and more. It originated nearly 400 years ago as a form of self-defence amongst African slaves. They disguised it as a folk dance to make it acceptable, and it developed from there. Brazilians say they ‘play’ capoeira, like a game, not a fight. It’s quite difficult to learn, but I don’t do it just to get physically fit; it’s the mind-body-spirit connection that begins to change you. You meet so many different people, especially Brazilians, and they have a completely different take on life. I used to be very shy, but I’ve lost some of my inhibitions — and I don’t get uptight when things go wrong. I enjoy life and appreciate the good things. Anyone can find some form of identity in capoeira. For instance, a big city person might see it as a form of self-defence, while for others it’s a way of life. Its philosophy is to release good energy. When everybody’s facing each other in the circle, and the instruments are playing, and everybody’s focusing on the two players in the middle, singing and clapping to the music, you’re definitely going to feel something. And if you don’t, then you’re not doing it right.

C: Salsa
‘There’s no ‘right’ way of doing it, you just dance for the joy of it.»
I first heard about salsa a couple of years ago when a friend came back from Cuba raving about it. Finally, he persuaded me to go to a salsa club in the West End. It was hot and crowded, and the music was deafening, but I just couldn’t believe the energy and vitality of the place — it was magic. One thing that surprised me was how courteous it all was. Complete strangers will politely ask you to dance, then after five breathless minutes on the dance floor, just as politely thank you and move on. But it was the dance itself that was so intoxicating. There’s no ‘right’ way of doing it, you just dance for the joy of it.
It’s very sensual and the only philosophy is to delight in the music and let yourself go. I found out that ‘salsa’ means ‘hot sauce’ in Spanish, and Latin American people in New York began to use it to describe their music in the ’70s. It’s a mix of Afro- Cuban and Latin rhythms like mambo and rumba — with lots of spice! If you’re not a confident dancer, have a few lessons to learn the basic steps. As well as learning something new, it’s a great way to meet people. You’ll feel so free and happy, and it’s a fantastic release when you’re feeling a bit stressed out. I was amazed to find that I was quite good at it. Now I’m training to be a salsa teacher.
