維州連鎖舞,美國
舞名: Virginia Reel
中文舞名: 維州之音/維州連鎖舞
編舞: 源自英國傳統舞蹈
音樂: 惠美唱片 F.D.C.- 0015集
"Reel"是一種舞蹈型態(舞型),也是一種音樂型態,起源大約在17世紀.早期發展自英國的鄉村,與Jig, Waltz和strathspey合稱蘇格蘭四大鄉村舞蹈,
我們翻譯為:"連鎖舞".
此舞型與音樂相當的單純,詩句與舞句或許簡單,可以一直重複,猶如棉線的捲軸,可以不斷地重複(主隊(head couple)或許會輪流更換).
這類的舞蹈隊型通常就是排列成2列,男生一列,女生一列,我在民國69年(?)左右,跟美國的布魯斯老師學過一首這類舞蹈,中文翻譯為:"聖約翰河".
根據布魯斯老師說,這類型的舞蹈在原始地,也就是蘇格蘭地區,最長有可能排列到1000對來跳這一首舞呢.(那第一隊要跳幾個小時才會跳到最尾巴呢?
)
隨著英國人到美國開墾,英國的音樂與舞蹈自然也跟隨過來,連鎖舞在美國也逐漸流行起來.隨著時間的發展,連鎖舞的面貌也有些許的改變,但仍脫離不了鄉村的風味.
以這首Virginia Reel 為例,本舞在美國盛行於1830年~1860年,因為流傳度相當廣,也因此各地方舞法或許有些許不同處,但是舞蹈與音樂仍維持Reel的特色.
在此介紹本舞幾個基本術語與基本舞法:
1. 5~7對排成2列,男生一列女生一列.(在台灣以6對為主).
2. 最靠近音樂台或樂隊的稱為主對(head couple);最尾巴的稱為末對(foot couple).
3. 舞法部分各地有稍許不同,這裡列舉較傳統的舞法,跟台灣的舞法有一點點不一樣.
a. 主對女與末對男,靠近4步,分開4步,在台灣這裡改為男女整列與自己的舞伴靠近4步,分開4步.然後牽手順時針/逆時針轉一圈.接下來換主對男跟末對女重複上述動作(有點像英國黑駒舞,只是英國黑駒舞只有3對,舞步也較為輕快).
b. 接下來主對女與末對男做Do-sa-do (也稱為Do-si-do),換主對男跟末對女重複上述動作.
c. 主對牽雙手,滑步到行列最尾端,再滑回來.
d. 接下來是Reel的精神,右手與自己舞伴勾轉一圈半,變成1男(主對)面對2女,1女(主對)面對二男,左手勾轉轉一圈;回來主對舞伴右手勾轉轉一圈,
換成1男對3女,1女對3男.......一直重複此動作,直到對變成最末對.這段舞法猶如捲軸交叉捲捲捲,所以稱為:"Reel".
e. 主對到尾端後,勾右手跳半圈,回到男在男列,女在女列端,主對牽雙手,滑回最前面,準備做分列式.
f. 主對男與女各自帶領男女生,男向左後,女向右後走一大圈; 主對男女牽雙手成手門,其他對陸續穿越手門,2對變主對,原主對變末對.
全舞重複
參考英文舞法說明:
Head lady and foot gentleman forward and back:
The head lady and the foot man advance forward toward each other four steps and retire four steps backward into place.
Forward again with both hands round:
The head lady and foot man advance, join both hands straight across and make one complete turn, then return to places.
The head man and foot lady do the same.
Do-si-do:
The head lady and foot man advance, pass each other right shoulder to right shoulder while crossing your arms,
and without turning, go around each other back-to-back and retire backwards to places.
The head man and foot lady do the same. Repeat the Do-si-do by left shoulder.
Head couple gallops four times through the aisle and back:
The head couple join both hands and chasse (side slip and close) down inside of the lines four steps and return to the head position.
Right arm to partner and reel. (Right to centre, left to the side.):
The head couple link arms and turns around once and a half. (This leaves the lady facing the men's line and the man facing the ladies line).
The head lady turns the second man (the second man from the head of the line) once around in his place with left arms linked, while the head
man does likewise with the second lady.
Head couple then returns to the middle and turns each other again (once around) with right arms linked, and move on to the third couple.
This is continued until they reach the foot of the lines, where they turn half way around only, instead of a full turn, so that the lady ends up
on her side and the man on the men's side. The head couple then join hands across and chasse (side slip and close) with side steps back to the head of the set. They drop hands and turn out ready for the march.
The march:
The head couple separate. The man turns outwards and walks toward the foot directly behind the men's line, followed by all the men in single file At the same time the head lady does the same thing on her side of the set.
Then the head couple meet at the foot of the set and walk together to the head of the set, followed by the other couples. When all have reached their original places, all the partners, except the head couple, join hands and hold them high to form a long archway under which the head couple, with hands joined with your partner, walk through the gate. The original second couple now become head couple and the whole pattern is repeated until all have been head couple.
