復(fù)興中的蘇格蘭踢踏舞
[ 2007-03-02 16:05 ]
Scottish step-dancing is a traditional Scottish form of hard-shoe dancing which can be danced solo, or in a small 'set' where steps in slow and quick time are combined with simple dance patterns.
Up until the 19th century, hard-shoe step-dancing was enjoyed all over Scotland. With the introduction of country dances, placing a greater emphasis on the figures of the dance rather than on the stepping, and the changing style of the old solo step-dancing into the more open and balletic style we now see in modern Highland dancing, the popularity of step-dancing declined. Scottish step-dancing survived thanks to Highland emigrants to Cape Breton, Canada, who maintained the tradition, and now step-dancing is becoming increasingly popular again in Scotland.
蘇格蘭踢踏舞是一種蘇格蘭的傳統(tǒng)舞蹈。人們會穿著硬皮鞋來跳這種舞蹈。蘇格蘭踢踏舞既可以單獨(dú)進(jìn)行,也可以在一個小的“set”中群體進(jìn)行。在群體舞蹈中,較慢和較快的舞步會通過簡單的舞蹈排列結(jié)合起來。
直到19世紀(jì)以前,硬鞋踢踏舞在整個蘇格蘭廣受歡迎。隨著鄉(xiāng)村舞蹈的引入,舞蹈中的形態(tài)而非踏地的動作得到更大程度的重視,以及就有踢踏舞的獨(dú)舞風(fēng)格轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)楦鼮殚_放和芭蕾舞式的風(fēng)格(我們今天可以在現(xiàn)代高地舞蹈中看到這種風(fēng)格),踢踏舞的熱度隨之消退。幸虧從高地移民到加拿大Cape Breton的人們保留了這種傳統(tǒng),踢踏舞得以幸存。目前,踢踏舞逐漸在蘇格蘭復(fù)興起來。
