The Blues Aesthetic
motorthings: The Blues Aesthetic The common thread that unites all dances historic and contemporary is the blues aesthetic. This mode of movement epitomizes the defining elements of Blues music in movement. Based on the Africanist movement principles, they have morphed through exposure to European dances and music forms to create a unique blend that can only be called American.
motorthings: 1. An athletic, grounded, "Earth as Center" or "get-down" body posture and movement, characterized by the weight being held on the balls of the feet, the knees bent over the balls of the feet, the hips pushed back, and the front of the shoulders or the sternum pitched forward over the knees. In this posture a dancer should be able to step in any direction without having to shift their body first.

How to contribute
motorthings: If you have videos on your Youtube account that you want to add, first join this group, then go to "my account" and choose "my groups" and select "blues dance project". At that point you should have the option to add videos from your collection. I have the opportunity to review all videos before they are posted, so drop me a line if you want to alert me to something coming my way.
motorthings: The videos posted in this group will need to adhere to this basic guideline: Videos must either be of a hsitorical nature, relating to blues dance, or of blues dancing where the music is at least blues rooted and the blues Aesthetic is be present in some form of the dance. (see the "Blues Aesthetic" discussion for further description)
