Book Synopsis Folk Dances and Games by : Caroline Crawford
Download or read book Folk Dances and Games written by Caroline Crawford and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Folk Dances and Games Professor Frederick Peterson of Columbia University, well known as a nerve specialist writes: "The dance seems to fulfill every requisite of an ideal exercise - the practical use of all the muscles, the acme of pleasurable emotion, and the satisfaction of the esthetic sense." This is true of the folk dances. They are the ideal natural form of exercise. Moreover, they are simple, pretty and enjoyable and give body control as nothing else does. The need of the many good things derived from this form of physical exercise has existed for many years. With the recognition of the need, there has come a demand for an authoritative hand-book prepared with particular reference to the schools. There has been no such book in existence in the English language. The present book was prepared to supply that need. Miss Crawford, the author, has made a special study of folk dancing for many years. She taught the subject to teachers at Chicago University and now has charge of the same work at Teachers College in Columbia University. Her students have gone out to summer schools to spread the good work. All this has intensified the call for such a book as this, which the publishers issue in the hope that it will serve to enrich the lives of the children whose welfare and happiness were kept in mind in the preparation of it.

Book excerpt: From the PREFACE. This book of folk dances is published for the sole purpose of placing in the hands of the teachers of the public schools and playgrounds in New York City a description and the appropriate music for the folk dances of the course of study and those which have been approved from time to time as good physical training procedure. No attempt is made to justify their use or the grading which is used, or suggested, nor is any scientific or theoretical end to be served by this collection. It is intended to be useful.

This collection is the result of the earnest and efficient work of the teachers of physical training and the class teachers in the New York City schools, whose devoted efforts have developed folk dancing in its legitimate sphere to the great benefit and joy of many thousands of children. It is in recognition of their fundamental part in the development of this phase of physical training, and on their behalf, that this book is issued. From the INTRODUCTION. Folk dances have come to fill an important place in physical training. They range in character from the simple song play in which the accompanying action may be descriptive of some trade to the highly developed collection of movements which are not descriptive of anything in particular, save the pure joy of life in rhymthmic exercise. In varying degrees are found the elements of song, play, drama, and vigorous muscular work. For our purpose, it is necessary to make a careful choice of material, as many dances are very evidently inappropriate for scholastic and administrative reasons. Folk dances should serve only their legitimate purpose, viz: recreation and other results supposed to be derived from informal gymnastics. Of course, no one expects that the educational, corrective, and disciplinary results which we can best obtain from formal gymnastics, will ever be supplied by the folk dances, nor do we wish them to subserve the functions of athletics, athletic games, or even aesthetic dancing. They supply a charming addition to our physical training procedure and we can expect large results from their intelligent use.

Book Synopsis Folk Dances and Games by : Caroline Crawford
Download or read book Folk Dances and Games written by Caroline Crawford and published by . This book was released on 2015-10-21 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On looking at the picture by Ilya Repin, in the front of Caroline Crawford's book, "Folk Dances and Games," it seemed to me I could fairly feel the different degrees of interest and importance each child felt in the tossing of that handkerchief. Do you remember the keen feeling of uncontrollable lonesomeness which swept over you when not chosen during a whole game? Or the unexpected thrill of delight in looking behind you to find a handkerchief had really been dropped at your feet? Men and women today who are influencing the educational world recognize the necessity of every child having some form of play, either dancing, sport, or games, brought into its life under the right influence and condition. It is a pleasure to find a book like Miss Crawford's where the author dares to state the dances clearly, with the correct music, and the dances not altered, magnified, or moderated by American influences. Far too many books are written on this subject by Americans in America, who have not traveled but learn their dances from foreigners in this country of the uneducated class, and many times these foreigners do not come from the part of the country where the dance belongs. By so doing the historic value of the dance is lost-the local and geographical influence, and the real meaning contained in the actions. "The Meaning of the Dance," as Miss Crawford entitles her preface, holds several good ideas, and is well worth reading carefully. One rejoices at the consecutive index, which takes one from the dances of the north, Finland, Sweden, and Scotland, to the dances of middle Europe, England, Germany, and France, and brings one at the close to Bohemia, where we know the first influence of the south is felt. We hope she may include in her next book the fascinating dances of Spain, Italy, and Greece. However, these dances seem to be less practical for the present generation. Among the seven dances from Finland the Harvest dance is almost absolutely accurate, and is a dance any school can use with great advantage; especially if the children make the rakes and sickles in their manual-training classes. The eleven Swedish dances, all well given, are accurate; "Fox and Geese" is especially well described. It is a remarkably good game for either boys or girls, out of doors or in the gymnasium. "Gustav Skal" is good, but not as accurately described as "Klapp Dans," which can be used with large groups of young children. The five Scotch dances are well sketched, and the five English dances can be worked out easily by anyone following Miss Crawford's directions. Of the four German dances, the French dance, and the six Bohemian dances, the French dance would give the greatest satisfaction to those handling a large number of children; it is simple, rhythmical, and active. The simple dances, using many children, are what the schools need today, and Miss Crawford's book contains a good combination of simple, complex, single, and group dances. Miss Crawford deserves the warm thanks of all those interested in the educational side of games and dances.

Download or read book Folk Dancing written by Erica M. Nielsen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-07-22 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This overview of folk dancing in the United States showcases an important historical movement and explains how folk dance communities evolved to fulfill the needs of specific groups of people over time. While the general term "folk dance" encompasses a surprising variety of specific dances, there are three major recreational communities or forms: international folk dance, modern western square dance, and contra dance. Throughout the last century, millions of people have enjoyed folk dancing as an educational and recreational activity, regardless of the particular style. Folk Dancing explains the reasons for the folk dance movement that exploded in Europe and North America in the late 19th century. It describes the clubs, camps, festivals, and communities that sprang up, and examines the culture of the movement—the music, key individuals and events, types of clothing, and influences of technologies and popular culture. The book contains authoritative, original information gleaned from the author's own research conducted with hundreds of folk dance enthusiasts across America.
