有意思的"歷史"觀點
(本文收 1 朵)
以下的這份文稿是1992年，我在美國參加活動時所拿到的，那時候的美國舞蹈圈老化的情形
已經蠻明顯的了！很多的討論都圍繞著如何吸引新人、留住新人，當然如何使新人儘快融入
這舞蹈圈，自然也是個話題了！
這些觀點蠻有意思的，值得一看，但別忘了，時空背景有所不同，1992年沒有網路可用呢！
Tips for beginning dancers
01
The more often you dance , the faster you will learn . Ask about other dance
classes in your area .
02
You cannot learn to dance sitting down . Stop watching from the sidelines and get
in there and dance .
03
In the beginning , don’t worry about styling and grace . Nearly every dancer
started out clumsy and three-footed . Concentrate on learning the steps first .
04
Buy a pocket-sized notebook and keep a list of the dances you are learning .
Identify each dance in some fashion：” fast , lots of turns ” or ” slow and
waltzy ” .
05
Bring a portable tape deck with you to class and record the music . Listen to
the tape during the week . It doesn’t have to be high-fidelity ; the idea is
just to become familiar with the music .
06
During the request dancing , ask for dances you know and like , or ones you want
to learn .
07
If you are not familiar with a dance that’s being done , don’t get in the line
unless you have a “ guide “ （a friend who knows the dance well）. Otherwise ,
stand behind the line of dancers and follow the steps .
08
If the person next to you is not your guide , DO NOT try to follow that person .
Instead , watch a dancer four or five dancers down the line , to the left or right .
DON’T try to copy anyone across the circle from you , even if it’s the leader！
09
Use your head while you dance . As you copy a dance , try to identify the steps
and say them to yourself（”grapevine---right Yemenite---turn left---“）.
10
On partner dances , it is best to dance with someone who is more familiar with the
dance than you are . Next best would be to dance with someone who is equally
familiar . Don’t sit out just because you don’t have a partner . Stand off to
one side and copy your part . （Sometimes a friendly dancer will notice you and
offer to be your partner .）
11
Some people can dance and talk at the same time . Beginners usually can’t , so
don’t try .
12
Relax . Smile . Contrary to what you may think , all eyes are NOT focused on you .
Everyone on the floor is rooting for you because they have all been where you are .
13
Be patient . Jerusalem wasn’t built in a day .

Welcome to folk dance family！
