DANCE TIDBITS® GOES TO THE

by Janet Spencer

Studies have shown that dancing reduces stress and tension and can also help prevent heart disease. Come along with Tidbits as we look at different kinds of dancing!

THE HULA

• ‘Hula’ is a Hawaiian word meaning simply, ‘dance.’ Originally, only men were allowed to dance the hula. It originated as a method of passing history down, with every single movement carrying a meaning that helped tell the story. The movements were accompanied by drumming and chanting. (Modern hula is more commonly accompanied by ukeleles and guitars.) Hula dances also honored and appeased the gods in religious ceremonies (particularly the volcano gods) and paid homage to leaders. The hula was once outlawed by missionaries who considered it sinful. But David Kalakaua, King of Hawaii from 1874 through 1891, reinstated the tradition of hula dancing, thereby earning his nickname, the ‘Merrie Monarch.’ Each year, the Merrie Monarch Festival is held in his honor. The peak of the festival is the hula competition, with both men and women dancing. An authentic hula skirt requires the leaves of about 60 ti plants, takes about four hours to weave, and wears out in 3 to 5 days of use.

by Samantha Weaver

● It was Albert Einstein who made the following sage observation: “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” ● Many people believe that one should never remove one’s wedding ring.

However, one superstition holds that doing so is perfectly acceptable -- as long as the ring is being used to ward off a witch. ● There’s nothing surprising about the fact that upon the death of British novelist, poet and essayist D.H. Lawrence, the author’s body was cremated. What is unusual is that, at Lawrence’s request, his ashes were mixed into the plaster used to build the D.H. Lawrence Ranch in Questa, N.M. ● The next time you’ve enjoyed a happy hour out with friends, you might want to consider the virtually unknown adjective “gambrinous,” which means “to be content and happy due to a stomach full of beer. ● As Halloween approaches, if you live in New Jersey, Pennsylvania or Iowa, you might want to keep in mind your state’s tax policy. If you’re buying a pumpkin to carve into a jack-o’-lantern, you’ll need to pay tax on the gourd. Pumpkins used for food purposes, however, are subject to no such tax. *** Happy baking everyone, I imagine there will be many pumpkins this year being sold at the check out lines for pumpkin pies and pumpkin bread!

DANCING SHOWMANSHIP

• In the 1800s people were fascinated with Native Americans, so P.T. Barnum imported a band of Sioux from Iowa to perform in his New York museum. He hired them to perform their ritualistic dances on stage in front of an audience. Their favorite was the war dance, but they performed it so convincingly that Barnum was afraid someone would get hurt. So he asked them to perform the more sedate wedding dance instead. They agreed, as long as Barnum agreed to provide a new red woolen blanket so the bridegroom would have a gift to give the bride’s father. Barnum agreed, since the blanket cost only $10 and his box-office receipts were very good. But then they informed him that he must buy a new wedding blanket for every performance. Since the show was performed twice a day, six days a week, Barnum was spending $120 a week on blankets. Soon the tribe got homesick for their native land. Barnum paid their passage back to Iowa.

• In 1942, the impresarios for Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey Circus decided they wanted to teach their circus elephants to dance. They contacted choreographer George Balanchine and told him to find a composer to help him.

He chose Russian composer Igor Stravinsky, and the telephone conversation went like this: “I need you to compose a piece of music for me.”

“What kind of music?” “A polka.” “For whom?”

“Elephants.” “How old?” “Young!” “OK, if they are very young, I’ll do it!” The result was “Circus Polka” and it was performed 425 times.

• Aristotle told the story of the city of Sybaris, where the horses were taught to dance to the music of a pipe. When the Sybarites went to war against the Crotonians, the Crotonians brought along a lot of pipes. On the battlefield, the pipers began to play, the Sybarian horses began to dance, and the riders were easily slaughtered.

DANCE WORD ORIGINS • The old English word ‘jouk’ means to dance, and from that we get our juke box.

• Thespis was a poet, dancer, and theatrical manager around 500 BC. He did so much to promote theater that he is still honored today in the word ‘thespian.’

• The word ‘carol’ comes from the Middle English word ‘carolen’ meaning to sing joyously. That word originates with the Greek word ‘choraulein,’ which was a ring dance accompanied by flutes.

• ‘Polak’ means Polish man, and ‘polka’ means Polish woman. In addition, the Czeck word ‘pulka’ means ‘half-step.’

When a new dance originating in Bohemia took the world by storm, it was called the Polka. The polka was very popular and many different items were named after the dance. When a new fabric was invented, the manufacturer decided to name the new design ‘polka dots.’

• In France in 1960 a new disco opened up called Chez Régine. For weeks everyone who showed up at the door was turned away. A sign out front perpetually announced that the disco was full. Finally the sign was removed, and customers flooded in. It was an instant success. The ‘Disco Full’ sign was a gimmick designed to get people’s curiosity up.

One friend to another “My new horse is very well-mannered.”

“That’s nice.”

“Yes, isn’t it? Every time we come to a jump he stops and lets me go first!”

• In 1971 jazz composer Roger Kellaway wrote a modern ballet entitled mysteriously “PAMTGG.” Audiences soon realized the acronym stood for the TV commercial jingle, “Pan Am Makes the Going Great.” The entire ballet was based on airport life, including takeoff, landing, and baggage scramble.

• Dancer Marie Guimard was famous for her style of dancing which mostly involved graceful movements of the arms as she struck poses. When a piece of falling scenery broke her arm, French opera singer Sohie Arnould remarked, “What a pity it wasn’t her leg; then it wouldn’t have interfered with her dancing!”

• British ballerina Dame Margot Fonteyn went to see a troupe of black ballet dancers. One of the male performers invited her to join him on stage and she gamely tried to keep up with the rhythm and movement of the vigorous dance as he guided her through the steps. He took her back to her seat saying, “You’re an attractive girl; it’s too bad you can’t dance!”

CANADIAN DANCE FACTS

• In Canada, the number of people who report earning a living from dance grew from less than 400 in 1971 to over 6,000 in 2001.

• Over a million Canadian adults take dance classes or perform in their community.

• Over one-quarter of a million Canadian citizens take ballet lessons.

• Throughout Canada, dancers earn lower incomes than all other culture workers, and rank among the bottom 5% of all occupations.

Women in History

VIRGINIA McMATH

• When Virginia Katherine McMath was born in Missouri in 1911, her young cousin had trouble pronouncing the name ‘Virginia,’ saying ‘Ginga’ instead, so Virginia became Ginger. Her mother divorced her father, and later married John Rogers, turning Virginia McMath into Ginger Rogers. Ginger’s mother was very actively involved in theater, writing Hollywood scripts for a living and touring with theatrical troupes, so Ginger grew up backstage. She got her first taste of the limelight when she won a Charleston dance contest, which allowed her to tour the Vaudeville circuit extensively. Her mother went along on the tour, acting as her manager.

• Upon arriving in New York City, she landed a role in a Broadway play called “Top Speed,” and then immediately landed the leading role in the Gershwin play “Girl Crazy,” which made a star out of both herself and Ethyl Merman. One of the crew members hired to help with choreography was a young dancer named Fred Astaire. In 1930, Ginger signed a 7-year contract with Paramount Pictures. She was 19 years old. In the decades to come, she would make over 70 films.

• In 1933, she teamed up with Fred Astaire for the first time, making a film called “Flying Down to Rio” which turned out to be the first of ten films they made together. Although they played supporting characters in the film, their dance chemistry was so remarkable that audiences clamored for more. A string of feature films followed, including such hits as “Top Hat” and “The Gay Divorcee.” Although the two worked well together, they were never close off-stage.

However, as Astaire later reflected, “All the girls I ever danced with thought they couldn’t do it, but of course they could. So they always cried. All except Ginger. No no, Ginger never cried.”

• By the mid-1940s, Ginger Rogers was Hollywood’s highest paid performer. She won an Academy Award for Best Actress in 1940 for her role in “Kitty Foyle.” In the 1942 film “The Major and the Minor,” she played the part of a woman who disguises herself as a 12-year-old. In the movie, her real mother played the role of her film mother. She starred with Ronald Reagan in the 1951 anti-Ku Klux Klan thriller, “Storm Warning.”

• By the 1950s as her film popularity began to fade, she returned to the stage for long successful runs in plays such as “Hello, Dolly!” and “Mame.” Her final film was the 1965 biopic “Harlow” in which she played the mother of actress Jean Harlow.

In 1985, she fulfilled a lifelong dream when she directed the off-Broadway musical “Babes in Arms.” She was 74 years old at the time. Along the way, she married and divorced five times but never had any children. Her autobiography, “Ginger: My Story” was published in 1991.

• Her final appearance in a TV role was in 1987 when she appeared in the series “Hotel.”

• She continued making public appearances until a stroke left her partially paralyzed and dependent upon a wheelchair. In spite of the stroke, she never saw a doctor.

• Ginger Rogers died of a heart attack in 1995 at the age of 83. Her ashes, interred next to her mother’s, are in the same cemetery where Fred Astaire is buried.

• Garson Kanin wrote of them, “The magic of Astaire and Rogers cannot be explained; it can only be felt. They created a style, a mood, a happening. They flirted, chased, courted, slid, caressed, hopped, skipped, jumped, bent, swayed, clasped, wafted, undulated, nestled, leapt, quivered, glided, spun - in sum, made love before our eyes. We have not seen their like since.”

Medicare Advantage More seniors are choosing the higher quality Medicare Advantage plans, according to a news release by Health and Human Services Department.

Now, for the fourth year, that number is expected to increase. The average monthly premium is expected to go up just $1.64, which will bring it to $32.60 a month, with more than 99 percent of beneficiaries having access to a plan.

Medicare Advantage plans often (but not always) include Part D prescription plans, as well as expanded health coverage that the original Medicare doesn’t cover. The Part D prescriptiondrug plan will be approximately $31 for the fourth year in a row.

Open enrollment starts Oct. 15 and closes Dec. 7 for health and drug plans. Plans change from year to year, and so do individual needs.

Tools 4 life

By DR. Jim coyle

You Are Good Enough

One of the many harsh labels we get in life is “you’re good but not good enough”. It’s like filling a balloon and then stabbing it with a needle and popping it. There was a young boy named David who was told that his whole life by his dad, brothers and others. His label sent him to the fields where he was isolated and instructed to care for the sheep while the others did their thing. In his loneliness he got very good at some things and started believing in himself. During a crisis he stepped up to the plate and took down a giant while others watched. His tool was a slingshot. In his isolation he practiced with all he had. You may not be the most gifted but the lesson here is to use what you have and do your best.

YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH to remove the giants that are standing in front of you. Accept yourself, get up, and keep moving forward with all you have.
