More On Dance - This Time "They Dance Alone"

 
Sting - They Dance Alone (Cueca Solo)
Sting - They Dance Alone (Cueca Solo)

Another reader writes to tell us more on the topic of dancing.

 

But, this time on a more serious note, she includes a copy of Sting's "Cueca Solo" (They Dance Alone)

 

First published on his 1987 album Nothing Like The Sun it refers to mourning Chilean women who dance the Cueca, the national dance of Chile, alone with photographs of their disappeared loved ones in their hands.

 

Sting explained his song as a symbolic gesture of protest against the Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet whose regime killed thousands of people between 1973 and 1990.

 

On the album Sting was accompanied by Mark Knopfler (guitar) and Ruben Blades (background vocals and guitar).

 

There are several live versions of this song, most notable from the Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute (1988), from an Amnesty International concert (1988) in Buenos Aires with Peter Gabriel

and the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo from Chile. Artists performing included Sting, Jackson Browne, Wynton Marsalis, Sin�ad O'Connor, Peter Gabriel, and New Kids on the Block.

DuShaunt "Fik-Shun" Stegall - So You Think You Can Dance

Season 10 (LA Audition)

So You Think You Can Dance premiered on July 20, 2005 with over ten million viewers and ended the summer season as the top-rated show on television.

 

It was created by American Idol producers Simon Fuller and Nigel Lythgoe and the first season was hosted by current American news personality Lauren S�nchez.

 

Since the second season, it has been hosted by former British children's television personality and one-time game show MC Cat Deeley. During its second season, the program remained the No. 1 rated summer show for adults aged 18-49.

 

The series was created to rejuvenate the visibility and appreciation of dance as an art form in the U.S. and to give exposure to struggling dancers.

 

Series judge Mary Murphy says, "Of course you hope you can make a living at it, because you don't want to give up on something that you do, but the honest truth is most dancers have to carry one or two jobs and dance as much as they can on the side -- it's a very lucky dancer who gets a full scholarship."

 

Season 10 commenced on 14 May 2013 and true to form included exceptional and novel artists including Du-Shaunt Stegall who dances under the name "Fik=Shun"

The Richest Square Mile On Earth?

Perfect timing

In January 1893, prospectors Patrick (Paddy) Hannan, Tom Flanagan, and Dan O'Shea were travelling to Mount Youle when one of their horses cast a shoe.

 

During the halt in their journey, the men noticed signs of gold in the area, and decided to stay put.

 

On 17 June 1893, Hannan filed a Reward Claim, leading to hundreds of men swarming to the area in search of gold and Kalgoorlie, originally called Hannan's, was born.

 

By 1898 the population of the town was 2,018, consisting of 1516 males and 502 females. Challenging numbers for anyone running a Bachelors' & Spinsters' Ball.

 

The mining of gold, along with other metals such as nickel, has been a major industry in Kalgoorlie ever since and today employs about one-quarter of Kalgoorlie's workforce and generates a significant proportion of its income.

 

The concentrated area of large gold mines surrounding the original Hannan find is often referred to as the Golden Mile, and is considered by some to be the richest square mile of earth on the planet.

 

Today's mining methods are a far cry from those of yesteryear as can be seen from the accompanying video clip. To view Click Here

 

Now This Is Proper Dancing

The Tiller Girls at The London Palladium

The London Palladium

 

Hot on the heels of yesterday's clip about Fik Shun (see below) comes an email saying it's not proper dancing and suggesting we should publish a clip showing real dancing.

 

Not just suggesting, but also enclosing a link to illustrate the point.

 

We immediately anticipated a waltz, tango, cha-cha or quickstep. But we were wrong.

 

Included was a clip of the Tiller Girls performing at the London Palladium.

 

Oh how times have changed!! -

 

Satire aside the Tiller Girls were among the most popular dance troupes of the 1900s and were formed by John Tiller in Manchester, England, in 1890.

 

Tiller found that by linking arms the dancers could dance as one; he is credited with inventing precision dance.

 

Over time they became resident dancers at the Folies Berg�re in Paris, the London Palladium, the Palace Theatres in Manchester and in London and the Blackpool Winter Gardens, on New York's Broadway.
