Ngoma ya Tap Dance



Wapendwa wasomaji, bado ninanendelea kujifunza ngoma ya waMarekani, Tap Dance. Jumapili iliyopita tulifanya maonyesho kwenye Dance Complex, Central Square, Cambridge. Hapa niko kwenye studio nafanya mazoezi.

Mwakani nikibahatika nitaenda New York, kuchukua kozi fupi ya Tap na Mwalimu maarufu kama Savion Glover.

  4. Anonymous wa 11:13PM, asante kwa maoni yako. Kwanza Tap Dance ni ngoma iliyoanziswa na wamarekani weusi. Hapo zamani walimu wao walikuwa ni weusi, wazungu waliiba na kufanya ya kwao, lakini wesui waliendelea kutawala. Nadhani unamaanisha 'Square Dance', maana hiyo ndo densi ya Rednecks. Nayo nimecheza si mbaya ukijifunza ku-dosidoo and swing your partner!

  9. Chemi, tap dance haikuazishwa na watu weusi na wala watu weusi hapa marekani hawadai kwamba wao ndio walioazisha tap dance, ila wao wame-improvise katika kimitindo ya hapa America. The Irish are the originator of the tap dance. Please, get your facts right! aiight.

  10. Chemi hajakosea maana ni kweli American Tap Dance ilianzishwa na weusi. Ile dance ya waIrish inafanana na tap lakini siyo.

    Tap Origins: A Brief History by Paul Corr

    Except for the Indians' ritual dances, the first indigenous American art dance is tap dancing, whose roots lie in spirited Irish and English jigs and clog dances and in the rhythmic African improvisations that immigrants and free Africans combined spontaneously during the 1840s. Characterized by rapidly tapping toes and heels, usually in shoes fitted with metal tips, tap dancing evolved through both those of African desent, and European minstrel shows, revues, vaudeville, musical comedy, and film, accumulating sophisticated new sounds for the feet,such as brushes, slides, hops, rolls, and complex new accents for the upper body as it went along. In 1900 the Floradora Sextet performed the first synchronized tap routine. The 50 girls of the first Ziegfeld Follies (1907) constituted the first tapping chorus line.

  11. Wewe nawe Toplionyu sijui unazungumza nini kama hujui kutafasiri au kuelewa ki-ingereza bora unyamaze, sasa hapo juu maoni yako ya kusema Chemi yuko sawa yanapingana na mada uliyowakirisha yakuonyesha asili ya tap dance.

    Jamaa 11:28 Am ameeleza kwa kifupi na maoni yake yako sawa na history fupi ya tap dance uliyoleta.

    Any way, let stop arguing about this tap dance thing, it ain't got any importance for us to dwell on it.

    Sista Chemi, just shake your body to tap dance steps, all power on ya.

    May be some of us might join ya soon.

    You stay safe to y'all........
