Folk Dance Australia FDA OBJECTIVES:

THE PRESIDENT'S REPORT I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and are ready to dance again - or maybe you never stopped! I am looking forward to another year full of folkdance happenings the FDA workshops and the National Folk Festival at Easter time, André's weekend at Bowral and everything in between. We begin the year with an all-day Turkish workshop with Yussef Nidai, Director of the Turkish Academy of Fine Arts, Music and Dance. I do encourage you all to come. Yussef is a talented musician, dancer and teacher, and it is wonderful dancing to the beat of the tapan - live music!! A couple of weeks ago, I attended one of Yussef's classes. It was great joining in with his students, boys and girls, who were very welcoming and showed enthusiasm and skill for their Turkish dance and culture. Another experience of joy and excitement for me was being at the last night of Campanas Flamencas, part of the Sydney Festival. The company of dancers and musicians from Madrid thrilled the audience with their wonderful heel-beating and clapping of many and varied rhythms. The art of flamenco developed in Andalusia in Southern Spain. It dates back to the 15th century with the arrival of the gypsies. The singing and guitar playing have a very strong Jewish and Arabic influences. Please write and tell us of your folkdance experiences and what is going on in your part of the world.

As diverse as a dancer's talents ..!!! Recently, the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney held an exhibition of treasures from the Jewish Museum in Prague (Czech Republic). Why do we mention this? Because, who should appear as "Roselle", a Jewish Czech woman from the late 19th century, telling her story to the intrigued onlookers, but Robina Beard, an actress, and also the president of Ausdance NSW.
Hamoadan Israeli dancing Beginners classes commence at the start of sessions on Tuesday, 2 February, 1999.

From: Peter De Pellegrin, Melbourne Hello, my name is Peter De Pellegrin and I am a member of an Italian Folk Dance Group which is affiliated with the Italian social club (Club Fogolar Furlan) which is located in Thornbury, Melbourne (Victoria). I came across the FDA on the internet and I am very interested in talking to someone from your organisation. Primarily, our dance group wishes to increase its engagements/performances within the community. For your information our group was established in 1977 (21 years ago!) and comprises between 12 -14 members. The costumes are typical of the clothes once worn by ancestors who lived in the far north-eastern region (Friuli Venezia Guillia) in Italy, many, many years ago. The dances are also traditional and performed to authentic music (similar to a waltz rhythm) |

We may have eaten too much and exercised too little over the Christmas holidays and, as most dance groups get together for another year of fun, it's a good time for us to focus on stretching. Why? Because it feels good, relaxes our mind, tunes up our body, and, most importantly, helps us to develop body awareness (proprioception), which, in turn, helps us to avoid trips, twists and spills. As dancers, stretching will improve our flexibility and ease of movement and so increase our enjoyment of dancing and help us to avoid injuries. Just before you rush into stretching, perhaps you may be interested in the following advice given by Bob Anderson (whose book is used by the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra). Who Should Stretch Everyone should, regardless of age or flexibility, or whether you sit at a desk all day or dig ditches. When to Stretch Stretching can be done any time you fell like it: at work, in a car, waiting for a bus, etc and especially when you feel stiff - also stretch before and after physical activity (and that of course means dancing!) |
How to Stretch
The right way to stretch is a relaxed, sustained stretch (average of around 25 seconds) with your attention focused on the muscles being stretched. The wrong way is to bounce up and down, or to stretch to the point of pain these do more harm than good. As you stretch correctly and regularly, you will find that every movement you make becomes easier. The Easy Stretch part When you begin a stretch, go to the point where you feel a mild tension, and relax as you hold the stretch. The feeling of tension should subside as you hold the position. If it does not, ease off slightly and find the degree of tension that is comfortable. The first part of the stretch reduces muscular tightness and readies the muscle tissues for the second part. The Developmental Stretch part After holding the easy stretch (for 10 30 secs), move slowly into the developmental stretch by moving a fraction of an inch further until you again feel a mild tension and then hold for another 10 30 secs or more. Again, you should feel the tension diminish; if not, ease off slightly. This last part of the stretch fine-tunes the muscles and increases flexibility. Slowly come out of the stretch. Breathing Your breathing should be slow, rhythmical and controlled. If you are bending forward to do a stretch, exhale as you bend forward and then breathe slowly as you hold the stretch. Do not hold your breath while stretching if the stretch position inhibits you breathing, then you are obviously not relaxed. Ease up on the stretch so that you can breathe naturally. Counting At first, silently count the seconds for each stretch this will ensure you hold the proper tension for a long enough time. After a while, you will be stretching by the way it feels, without the distraction of counting. The Stretch Reflex The purpose of this nerve reflex is to protect your muscles if you stretch the muscle fibres too far (ie, overstretching or bouncing) by sending a message to the muscles to contract. So, when you stretch too far, you unconsciously tighten the very muscles you are trying to stretch. So the idea of no gain without pain is INCORRECT when it comes to stretching. Stretching, as described in the "Easy" and Developmental" stretch parts above, is beneficial and does not activate the Stretch reflex. Start today - with the exercises overleaf!
